In the spirit of fulfilling Temple University's historic mission, the College of Education and Human Development makes serving the needs of schools and communities a top priority. Faculty members collaborate with teachers, school districts, peer institutions and policymakers to bridge the gap between theory and practice and work to implement change where it matters.
This commitment to service includes addressing the need for continuous professional development. It also means providing a network of empirical and applied knowledge for leaders and practitioners alike. The College of Education and Human Development is particularly engaged in efforts to promote international perspectives in education and to improve teaching and learning within urban communities.

Experiential Learning through Community Partnerships
As part of its mission to give back to the surrounding community and provide substantive fieldwork experiences for its students, the College of Education and Human Development has formed partnerships with more than 25 institutions and organizations.
Organizational partnerships provide students with community-based learning opportunities and field-based practice. These experiences are facilitated through voluntary internships and/or field experiences and student teaching as part of an academic program. To learn more, explore our Office of Field Placements.
Psychoeducational Clinic
Temple's Psychoeducational Clinic provides comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations for adolescents, children and young adults who are experiencing academic difficulties. Such difficulties may be related to behavioral, emotional or social problems; learning disabilities; or neurological impairment.
The School L.I.F.E. Project
Promoting Equity and Access for Multilingual Students
Multilingual Learners of English (MLEs) – students who are learning English as an additional language in school – are a sizable and increasing population in schools across the U.S. This growing group brings new responsibilities and opportunities for schools. To support the success of these students, the School L.I.F.E. Project takes a school-wide approach to promote the well-being and academic success of multilingual learners of English.
