The Stanford Graduate School of Education (GSE) is one of the seven schools of Stanford University. It is the second-oldest school of education in the United States, after the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development at New York University. Its mission is, "To continue as a world leader in ground-breaking, cross-disciplinary inquiries that shape educational practices, their conceptual underpinnings, and the professions that serve the enterprise." Many prominent educational theories, policies, and inventions have come from, or been influenced by, the Graduate School of Education, including the Stanford-Binet IQ test and various LeapFrog products.

Famous quotes containing the words university, school and/or education:

    I was now at a university in New York, a professor of existential psychology with the not inconsiderable thesis that magic, dread, and the perception of death were the roots of motivation.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    Their school a crowd, his master solitude;
    Through Jonathan Swift’s dark grove he passed, and there
    Plucked bitter wisdom that enriched his blood.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Major [William] McKinley visited me. He is on a stumping tour.... I criticized the bloody-shirt course of the canvass. It seems to me to be bad “politics,” and of no use.... It is a stale issue. An increasing number of people are interested in good relations with the South.... Two ways are open to succeed in the South: 1. A division of the white voters. 2. Education of the ignorant. Bloody-shirt utterances prevent division.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
