The Gevirtz School, in pursuit of research and instructional programs, is committed to discovering educational responses to the diversity challenge that provide the best possible balance between the equally valued goals of equity and excellence in a manner consistent with our democratic society. In carrying out its research mission, the School supports diverse methods of inquiry on a wide range of issues as they relate to multiple domains of development (academic, social, affective), teaching, schooling, and institutional leadership. Our mission derives from the overall mission of the University of California which is to conduct research to address major challenges confronting the State, as well as to provide outstanding education for its students. Along with the entire University of California, the Gevirtz School is dedicated to bringing the benefits of higher education to all of its students. To that end, it is the Gevirtz School's policy to provide a fair and open academic environment: one in which all students feel encouraged to realize their potential, and one that is free from practices, whether intentional or not, that may affirm or reinforce stereotypes based on personal characteristics such as race or gender. U.S. News & World Report's 2008 edition of America's Best Graduate Schools has named the Gevirtz School at UC Santa Barbara one of the Top 50 Education Schools in the country. The school is also one of only three UC schools of education to make the list.
There are 125 publications in this collection, published between 1998 and 2024.
