Today’s learners experience an ever increasingly complex world. For K-12 students, research has shown that many factors beyond classroom conditions contribute to effective learning.
At the UNC School of Education, world-class researchers discover and put knowledge into practice to ensure a “whole education,” which works to achieve well-being for students, families and communities and to make schools safer, healthier places for kids to grow up.
Every day, faculty members are pursing ground-breaking research and teaching, with the understanding that effective learning happens best when students are healthy and feel cared for.
Dorothy Espelage, Roger Mills-Koonce and Marisa Marraccini of UNC-Chapel Hill’s School of Education are focused on research around bullying, mental health and parent-teacher relationships. They aim to reach students at nearly every point on their education journeys, both inside and outside of the classroom, to help them achieve their full potential.
