Welcome!
Our department is among the leading programs in the nation, a place where cutting-edge research is providing new ways of thinking about children, schools, and learning in all its many forms. Seattle is a fabulous place to pursue graduate work: stunning in its beauty, culturally rich, diverse in its population and educational opportunities, and minutes from mountains and sea. And if you’re a coffee lover, this is the Java lover’s Garden of Eden!
Your inquiry into graduate work comes at a time when the field is bursting with new energy. Breakthroughs in our understanding of the brain, the nature of cognition, the role of society and the family in the
learning process, motivation and peer relations are changing the landscape of schools and a host of other educational settings. Much of this work involves faculty members and students at the University of Washington. As you’ll read in the materials on this Web site, our faculty plays a prominent role in national and state educational initiatives, including major research projects such as a Federal center on learning disabilities, regional work on stemming school violence, cognitive modeling of children's learning, investigating how social relationships influence motivation, self-concept, learning and development, and more. Our faculty is energetic, engaged in the field, and interested in growing and learning. We hope you will consider joining us.
Written materials, no matter how descriptive, cannot convey that special feeling that gives a places its character. Therefore, we invite you to come to Seattle and see our program with your own eyes--to sit in on classes, to have coffee with faculty, to talk with current students, to visit model classrooms and research sites. If this is not possible, we invite you to talk with us by phone or write to us via email. We have a terrific program, and we hope that you will think seriously about how the University of Washington fits into your dreams. We hope to see you in Seattle.
