Educational Research Center
Center Purpose
The purpose of the Educational Research Center (ERC) is to provide strong
support and direction for faculty in the James I. Perkins College of Education so that established
and emergent teams of faculty researchers, in collaboration with educators
in the field, will design and carry out small, medium, and large scale
research to realize the function(s) of the Center.
Center Mission
The mission of the ERC is to facilitate student and faculty research on topics
in educational administration and leadership in East Texas schools, and
in the larger regional, state, and national arenas. Implicit in this mission
is the study of how administration and leadership can be changed to increase
the opportunities and capacities of East Texas schools to provide optimal
learning experiences that enable all students to engage in meaningful and
productive pursuits in our society. The program of research and development
will seek to identify research foci within the Perkins College of Education related
to research faculty who are committed to support the ERC's research program.
The research strengths of faculty will lend to the integrity and coherent
structure of the program.
