Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University (ASU) is
committed to creating knowledge, mobilizing people, and taking action to improve
education. Under the legacy of a normal school from 1885-1945, ASU established
its education college in 1954 to guide "instruction of persons, both male and
female, in the art of teaching, and in all the various branches that pertain to a good
common school education" (Arizona. Legislative Assembly, 1885, pp. 247-248).
Today we consider education to be for the common good, rather than for the
purpose of having good common education. These semantic changes reflect the
shifts in the purpose and practices of a public college of education. During the days
of ASU's College of Education to the 2010 establishment of Mary Lou Fulton
Teachers College (MLFTC) at ASU, the college has committed itself to offering
innovative teacher education programs impacting student achievement. This
