 The majority of faculty members in the School of Education & Human Development (SEHD) have K-12 teaching or counseling experience, often in settings with members from diverse racial, language, gender, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Those experiences have drawn them to this urban university and have shaped our organizational and moral commitment to respecting diversity and pursuing equity. SEHD faculty believes that lives are forever changed with access to excellent education and quality mental health services. As a public university, we are committed to increasing educational opportunities among underserved populations. The majority of faculty members in the School of Education & Human Development (SEHD) have K-12 teaching or counseling experience, often in settings with members from diverse racial, language, gender, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

 Finally, diversity of action, research and viewpoints (ways of knowing and expressing knowledge) is fundamental in universities. It is that diversity that keeps our democracy alive. Diversity gives rise to new knowledge and new ways of thinking, a key function of a university.

-While the SEHD has had a focus on equity and diversity for a number of years, a majority of our former efforts focused on integration of related content into our programs, faculty recruitment and development, and to a lesser extent student recruitment but without a clear plan for retention.

Faculty who must miss scheduled classes because of professional obligations (meetings, presentations, etc.) should note dates on syllabus and make arrangements in advance to cover the missed instruction. Faculty who must miss class due to illness or unplanned circumstances must notify Academic Services prior to class and, if at all possible, make arrangements to cover the scheduled class(es). In the event that arrangements cannot be made to cover a class, you must notify your students by e-mail and posted signs of class cancellation. Contact Academic Services at 303-315-6300 or [[academicservices@ucdenver.edu|academicservices@ucdenver.edu]] and an attempt will be made to post signs in the classroom.

 +Types of Courses: Most courses offered by the School of Education & Human Development fall into CCHE's "Type A, Lecture" category. "Type A, Lecture" courses must provide 750 minutes of instructional time per credit hour, per semester. Thus, a typical 3-credit-hour course must provide 2250 minutes of instructional time during the semester it is taught. This translates to meeting for 15 weeks when a class is three hours in length. Other SEHD courses–such as practicum, internships, independent studies, and doctoral dissertations–fall into the "Type B" category.
