Touro
College is dedicated to serving the educational needs
of our whole community. Part of this commitment is to
bring the benefits of education to all children, adolescents,
and adults, regardless of individual differences or
special needs. The Graduate School of Education and
Psychology, is a principal instrument for fulfilling
this commitment. The special character of the Graduate
School of Education and Psychology is expressed in its
concentration on the development of each person's ability
to have access to and to apply his or her own intelligence,
and to use that intelligence as a primary tool for effective
thinking and learning. We believe that every person
can think more logically and learn more effectively
than he or she is doing at any given time. Through the
special methods applied in our graduate programs , learners
who have need of special help will come much closer
to realizing their individual potential. The Touro College
community is enthusiastic about these Graduate programs
with their celebration of individual differences, and
optimistic about their value to the broader community |

And from the Dean, Anthony Polemeni,
Ph.D.
|
| |
| The
Graduate School of Education and Psychology holds
to a pervading philosophy that guides all of our
programs with respect to theories of human development,
methods of education, methods of assessment of
individual differences, and overall approaches
to our job as citizens. We hold that the primary
goal of learning is more learning, that the mission
of education is to stretch minds, that is, to
enhance each person's educability, and ultimately
to produce life-long learners who can become independent
of formal education. Every person is modifiable,
which is to say that all of us can develop our
intellectual potential to a higher level. We place
a central emphasis on the development of the tools
of effective thinking and learning, a strong belief
in the value of family participation in education,
and dedication to multi-culturalism in all of
our teaching. We also believe strongly in learning
by doing, so our students will apply what they
learn in controlled settings. We welcome learners
at every level. Good thinking to all! |
