The Huffington Department of Education, Innovation and Technology will carry out all expected functions of a Baylor department—first and foremost by serving as the academic home of education as a discipline.
Unlike centers, which typically bring multiple disciplines together, the Huffington Department of EIT will focus on a single discipline (education or the science of teaching and learning). In addition, for members of the department, EIT will enable the alignment of institutional roles, training within their discipline, scholarly contributions and their departmental appointment. Like all Baylor departments, EIT will support advancement and recommend appointment and promotion of faculty members; appoint fellows, postdoctoral associates and research associates; deliver programs of instruction, certificates and degrees; stimulate and support research studies; and engage in professional activities in support of Baylor’s education mission.
