Established as a separate school in 2007, its origins can be traced back to the 1909 founding of Johns Hopkins’ College Courses for Teachers, later renamed College for Teachers. It was ranked first in the nation among graduate schools of education in 2015 by U.S. News & World Report. Program offerings, including both online and face-to-face, range from initial licensure master's degrees for those entering the teaching profession to advanced doctoral level research designed to prepare future scholars to address preK – 12 policies and practice challenges from early childhood to the adult learner.

S. Department of Education grants for programs aimed at improving educational outcomes for students.
