Staff

The EEU staff is composed of administrative, professional, and support staff who, working together, provide services to the children.  Faculty from the College of Education work with the staff in research, training and service activities.  The staff members include the director, school principal, administrative personnel, teachers, student aides, computer support personnel, volunteers, school nurse, social worker, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech and language pathologists.  In addition to the regular classroom staff, special projects personnel and some College of Education faculty occupy office space in the Unit.

Within the building, which contains approximately 41,000 square feet of floor space, there are a number of different areas which have been designed to facilitate the accomplishment of the specific functions or objectives of the unit.  Each classroom has a connecting teachers' office and an observation booth that permits students in professional training to observe and take data through a one-way window.  Each classroom also has an attached outdoor area where activities essential for the children's development of certain skills may be taught.  In addition to the outdoor classrooms, there are indoor play areas for children of different age levels and a centrally located, covered playcourt where young children can play in any kind of weather.  A multipurpose room, located at the east end of the building, is used for therapy, gym, and lunch; an outdoor basketball court is adjacent to this room.  Another unique feature of the building is the Instructional Center, in CD150, which is a 100 seat auditorium with a wide screen video projection system.

Calendars for all three conference rooms (CD 172B, 106A, 106D) are located in a binder in the main office (CD 101).

• Each conference room has a section (separated by dividers) and a map in front of the calendar with the conference room highlighted.
