About the College of Education:

The College of Education shares in the land grant mission of the University of Wyoming and maintains an abiding commitment to the ongoing growth and vitality of educators and counselors across Wyoming. In this context, the College provides outstanding research-based programs leading to initial licensure and certification for the teachers, counselors, and leaders in Wyoming’s schools and mental health counselors in the state’s rural communities. As importantly, the College’s programs provide essential support for teachers and counselors across the arc of their careers.

The College of Education develops and delivers cutting-edge instruction and professional support across Wyoming’s expansive geography, which presents unique opportunities for innovation in teaching and learning. The College’s work reflects this by incorporating globally innovative forms of competency-based learning, mentoring through communities of practice, and college and career readiness pathways which prepare educators for all settings and environments.

The College’s role in the state presents a singular opportunity for scholars committed to the large-scale impact of their scholarship while also providing a significant responsibility to be knowledgeable, engaged actors through their work and programs. As the only four-year, public institution in the state, members of the College of Education community bear the substantial weight of connecting research to practice informing policy and action directly. No university in the country enjoys such immediate access to the state-level policy environment.

The College has over 1,100 students studying across four baccalaureate program areas and eight graduate programs offering MS, Ph.D., and Ed.D. degrees, along with a range of post-graduate certificates in Counseling and Education. More than 50 full-time faculty, 20 professional staff, and 15 graduate assistants bring these programs to life. The College is home to the Wellspring Counseling Clinic, the Science & Mathematics Teaching Center, the Literacy Research Center and Clinic, the UW Early Care and Education Center, the Trustees Education Initiative, the Wyoming Early Childhood Outreach Network, and the Wyoming School-University Partnership. The College has more than 24,000 living alumni. More than 3,300 currently work in Wyoming’s public schools.

The College of Education is currently led by the John P. Ellbogen Interim Dean, Jenna Shim. Shim, a professor in the School of Teacher Education, has served as the associate dean for academic affairs and graduate studies in the University of Wyoming’s College of Education for the past three years. She joined the UW faculty in 2009 and also has served as associate director in the School of Education; program coordinator for the English as a Second Language (ESL) graduate program in the School of Teacher Education; and founder of the annual Wyoming ESL and DLI (dual language immersion) Conference.

About the John P. Ellbogen Foundation:

The John P. Ellbogen Foundation strives to strengthen UW’s expertise and capacity to prepare and support excellent early childhood educators. Knowing that educators have a lasting impact on young children’s growth and learning at a critical stage of their development, the Foundation seeks to improve the quality of early childhood programs in Wyoming.

The John P. Ellbogen Foundation is a longtime partner of the UW College of Education. The foundation has supported UW’s early literacy efforts, university faculty and students, and the University’s first-ever named academic deanship -- the highly regarded John P. “Jack” Ellbogen Deanship.

In keeping with Jack Ellbogen’s focus on the importance of high-quality education, The Ellbogen Foundation has established numerous programs at UW and throughout Wyoming to emphasize the importance of quality teaching. This supports the Foundation’s belief that a classroom teacher is the single most important factor in student learning.

The University has allocated the new tenured faculty position for the growing early childhood education program, the John P. Ellbogen Foundation Professorship in Early Childhood Education, as the first of many initiatives of the College of Education to advance early childhood education across Wyoming.

This opportunity has allowed the Ellbogen Foundation to connect its support with the College of Education’s foundation in early childhood education. Moreover, a named professorship will allow UW to attract top-tier talent in early childhood education.
