School of Education and Psychology

Welcome to Elizabeth City State University's Dr. Helen Marshall Caldwell School of Education and Psychology. Thank you for taking the time to view our website.

Originally founded as a "normal school for the specific purpose of teaching and training teachers of the colored race to teach in the common schools of North Carolina," we continue this heritage. We have expanded our scope and mission to prepare teachers, school leaders, and related service personnel for meaningful careers in a global and richly diverse society. In concert with the University's mission, the faculty is committed to excellence in teaching, leadership and community service, embracing diversity and positively impacting outcomes for P-12 students.

The Helen Marshall Caldwell School of Education and Psychology's educator preparation programs are committed to preparing the "Professional Educator as Decision Maker", one who has the knowledge, skills and dispositions to be a reflective practitioner, competent evaluator, advocator of diversity, effective facilitator, critical thinker and proficient technology user. We offer different avenues of licensure to help our candidates become informed, reflective, decision makers and positive change agents for P-12 Education in the 21st Century.

We continually seek ways to meet the needs of our state, national and international constituents. We assist our students in developing into lifelong learners via face to face, distance learning, video conferencing and offsite programming.

We encourage you to contact any of our faculty or staff, or visit our campus to learn more about opportunities that await you at Elizabeth City State University.
