In 2007, the College of Education and Health Professions, including the School of Education, relocated to a newly renovated facility some three miles from the University’s main campus. This state of the art location has office space for faculty, and fully equipped “smart” classrooms. The majority of the Unit’s courses are held in the new facility known as the Cambridge Campus of Sacred Heart University. The site bears the name of the street on which it is located. The Remedial Reading/Remedial Language Arts Program has a dedicated space in the new campus where it houses its Literacy Clinic. The clinic serves as the location where program Candidates engage in required clinical experiences. Students come to the clinic for remedial reading and language arts tutoring and workshops. The building also has its own IT staff to assist Candidates and faculty should any technology problems arise. In addition, the building has a library that is staffed by a fulltime librarian to assist faculty and Candidates with their research needs. There is also a staffed Public Safety office in the facility.
Branch Campuses
A unique aspect of the Isabelle Farrington School of Education is its campus in Griswold CT which offers an alternative for graduate students in Eastern CT. The curriculum, program requirements, and assessment systems are identical to those at its main campus. The faculty at Griswold is comprised of full-time faculty members, area superintendents, principals, and master teachers. The Griswold Campus is a unique “Learning Lab” in the fact that the campus shares facilities with Griswold High School. The School of Education maintains a suite of offices, a computer lab, and a library at the Griswold Campus. In addition, the Campus affords Candidates with direct access to elementary school, middle school, and high school libraries.
The Unit also maintains a branch campus in Stamford, CT where Candidates may elect to take a portion of their course work from among the select offerings at this location. Two faculty members are assigned to the Stamford campus with primary responsibility for advisement and teaching. At the present time, no education program is offered in its entirety at the Stamford location.
