Kappa Delta Pi (KDP), International Honor Society in Education, was founded in 1911 to foster excellence in education and promote fellowship among those dedicated to teaching. For over a century, the Society has consistently grown, starting with a local chapter to become the international organization it is today, with an initiated membership that exceeds 1.2 million! Using a variety of programs, services, and resources, KDP supports and advances educators throughout the phases and levels of their teaching careers. Kappa Delta Pi's mission is to advance quality education by inspiring teachers to prepare all learners for future challenges.

​

By joining KDP, members gain access to a variety of unique and meaningful opportunities, offering professional development and networking opportunities that will last them a lifetime. 

​

Educators are given the means to implement research-based strategies, continue professional growth, assume leadership, and become master teachers. KDP achieves this goal of quality learning for all by:

• Providing teacher education programs with professional resources and sustained support for retaining effective educators in all classrooms.

• Developing teacher leaders to be change agents and empowering them to advocate for the best interest of students and the teaching profession.

• Advancing instruction that ensures students are globally aware, socially responsible, resilient, and able to solve problems in a just and equitable way.

​

The Oakland University Chapter, Alpha Eta Psi, was established in 2015 and is the only education-focused honors society at Oakland University. We are an honor society for elementary, secondary education undergraduates and graduate students, as well as faculty members here at OU and in the community.
