Moffett , as of this publication, is a tenured Professor of Education in the Department of Educational Leadership of the College of Education at Fayetteville State University. He has formerly served in roles of Associate Dean at two Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) during the reaffirmation of their NCATE Legacy Visits and as a professor who served as dissertation advisor concurrently. Noran is the son of a deceased World War II veteran, the late Rev. M.J. Moffett, and a mother, Alice E. Moffett, who retired as a school cafeteria manager. Noran was honorably discharged from the United States Army. He never loses sight of the purpose for which he came to the profession of teacher education- CHILDREN. Dr. Moffett’s educational philosophy is as follows: “I am an educational evangelist and I believe that the purpose of educational preparation in higher education should be to ensure that we prepare future educators to serve as advocates for the children with the least opportunity, so they can compete with the children with the greatest opportunity as contributors to the global community.”
