CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION IN EDUCATION
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
The State University of New York at Stony Brook takes a "University-wide approach" to teacher education and
the University's Center for Excellence and Innovation in Education (CEIE) was established in 1988 as the common link
between the University's undergraduate, graduate, and research programs and the region's public and private primary and
secondary schools.
Historically the mission of the Center for Excellence and Innovation in Education (CEIE) was to play a major
role in the Long Island region by coordinating, supporting, strengthening, and developing: (1) undergraduate (preservice) and graduate (in-service) teacher certification and teacher education programs; (2) educational research and
development programs; and (3) school-university partnership programs.
In the summer of 1999, the mission of the Center for Excellence and Innovation in Education (CEIE) was
modified as follows:
The mission of the Center for Excellence and Innovation in Education (CEIE) is to play a major role in the Long
Island region by supporting, strengthening, and developing: (1) teacher education and professional development
programs; (2) educational research and development programs; and (3) school-community-university partnership
programs.
ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE:
The Center for Excellence and Innovation in Education (CEIE) has a director, its own secretarial staff,
computer equipment, electronic mail, photocopying facility, and operating budget. The Center is located in its own suite
of offices in the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building. In 1991, the responsibility for the Center for Science,
Mathematics and Technology Education (CSMTE) was transferred to the Center for Excellence and Innovation in
Education. In the summer of 1999, CSMTE was formally closed and its science outreach activities became part of the
school-community-university outreach programs of the Center for Excellence and Innovation in Education (CEIE).
