The exhibit features some of the wonderful materials available in the library’s Curriculum Collection, created to support the School of Education and Human Development (SEHD).

Programs featured include the Early Learning Center, Elementary Education, Secondary Education, TESOL, World Languages, and Bilingual Education, Special Education, Educational Technology, and School Library Media.
