Centers and Institutes
The College of Education is a resource and service to students, faculty, the university and the community. As part of the university's tri-fold mission of teaching, research and outreach, the college provides both resources and services through centers, laboratories, institutes and clinics.
Some of these resources and services include:
The Auburn University Autism Center was established in August 2003 with the vision of providing services to individuals with autism spectrum disorder, their families, schools, and other agencies whose goal is to optimize the potential of individuals with autism.
Learning Resources Center
Serves as an information, resource and technology center for the college. The center assists students and faculty by providing computer and Internet access, equipment for classroom learning, circulation materials, project and presentation materials and other college support services such as word processing, graphic design, duplicating and room scheduling.
Truman Pierce Institute
Serves as a research and outreach institute devoted to the study and improvement of teaching and learning. The Institute's roles also include fostering collaboration between higher education and public schools, developing professional development schools, assisting with leadership and management training for schools and improving the conditions within schools and communities that influence the effectiveness of leadership.
East Alabama Regional Inservice Center
Serves schools in 15 school districts in East Central Alabama. The East Alabama Regional Inservice Center (EARIC) provides a wide range of resources, training and services for area teachers and administrators. In addition to conducting region-wide workshops, conferences and seminars, the center assists staff development coordinators in local schools in planning and conducting system and building-based in-service training.
Transition Leadership Institute
The Auburn Transition Leadership Institute addresses issues, problems and practices regarding youth and young adults with disabilities. It has a strong partnership with Alabama's special education and rehabilitation state agencies whose transition programs and services are designed to enhance the success of students with disabilities as they cross the 'bridge' from high school to post-school life. The Institute, an affiliate of the Department of Rehabilitation and Special Education, assumes a leadership role in this mission through its array of programs pertaining to pre-service and in-service training, applied research, and innovative outreach initiatives.
Clinics & Laboratories
Serves the teaching, research and outreach mission of the College of Education. Learning and participation in these facilities and external clinics provide hands-on experiences for our students. By bringing theory into practice, students become better equipped to enter the work force in their chosen profession. Laboratories and clinics also offer our faculty an opportunity to generate research data and provide outreach services to the community and state.
Other Resources
In addition to the many resources such as clinics and laboratories, the College of Education seeks to provide resources and assist with university resources for our students, faculty, staff and others.
