David Mandzuk, PhD
Dean, Faculty of Education
Welcome to the Faculty of Education at the University of Manitoba! Our faculty is the only Faculty of Education at a U15, research-intensive university in the province and a leader in teacher education and educational research. Our faculty members conduct research into areas as diverse as: inclusive education, general curriculum and curriculum leadership, teaching English as an additional language, educational administration, language and literacy, and counselling psychology. We offer engaging and state-of-the-art programs, ranging from our two-year, after-degree BEd to the post-baccalaureate, master’s and PhD programs. We are seen as educational leaders in Manitoba, Canada and around the world. We prepare beginning teachers, but we also help advance the practice of teachers already in classrooms, helping them to tackle challenges and opportunities they face every day. Our work is guided by the following five strategic priorities:
Within these five priority areas, there are a number of initiatives that we are very excited about that I think deserve special mention:
In short, we take pride in the work we do to advance education in Manitoba and we are always pleased to collaborate with colleagues and partners in other parts of Canada and around the globe. For more information, please contact my office at: dean.education@umanitoba.ca
