What is CITE?

CITE is a center on the Bowling Green State University Campus dedicated to fostering collaborative efforts in urban and regional Pre K-12 education and in interdisciplinary university programming at undergraduate and graduate levels.

CITE’s vision is firmly rooted in the transformative power of education and educational institutions to address critical, social, cultural, and economic needs.

CITE strategies for change involve an emphasis on both re-thinking and reforming structural and pedagogical dynamics and practices.

CITE projects inlude facilitating the reworking of Pre K-12 schooling, preparing pre-service student educators, and providing professional development for educators in academic and non-academic settings.

CITE major thrust is the development of interdisciplinary programs that emphasize the complex and critical educational and social/economic needs of children and their families.

CITE serves as a vehicle for bringing multiple constituencies together around issues of education and democratic participation in community life.

CITE collaborations must be based on reciprocity, shared decision making, and mutual benefit for all parties. In this age of competing interests among social, political, economic, and cultural groups, the only way to bring educational and social justice goals to fruition is by working collaboratively and democratically across areas of difference.
