The annual Teacher Educators for Children with Behavior Disorders conference is the premier educational research conference for teacher educators working with children and youth with severe behavioral disorders. It was established in Arizona in 1976 by Dr. Robert B. Rutherford Jr. with the mission to disseminate quality research in the field and to help students, educators, and university faculty alike. TECBD began its mission long before support for students with severe behaviors was the norm. It continues to be a leader for showcasing the very best that our field has to offer.

With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Grants Program seeks proposals for Research Grants. The AERA Grants Program provides Research Grants to faculty at institutions of higher education, postdoctoral researchers, and other doctoral level scholars. The aim of the program is to advance fundamental knowledge of relevance to STEM education policy, foster significant science using education data, and build research capacity in education and learning.
MLFC alum Rhett Etherton went from the classroom to the nonprofit world where he now helps youth-focused groups and educators incorporate learning into play and recreational activities.
After earning his bachelor’s degree from the Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation, Rhett discovered that the skills he honed through his degree and in the classroom — communication, leadership, and a passion for helping youth thrive — were just as valuable in the nonprofit world.
Project OASIS (Optimizing Access for Students in School) is bringing together education-focused individuals and organizations across Arizona to explore a powerful question: How can we create a future educational model where special education and labeling disabilities are not necessary for all students to have the optimal experience?
In this video, Project OASIS director Kathy Hoffman and MLFC professor Erin Rotheram-Fuller explain how the collaborative is advancing research and projects that support more personalized, inclusive education models.
The research papers and publications listed below are a sampling of recent contributions by faculty representing Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation.

The Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) Program is committed to funding research and practice, with continued focus on investigating a range of informal STEM learning (ISL) experiences and environments that make lifelong learning a reality. This program seeks proposals that center engagement, broadening participation, and belonging, and further the well-being of individuals and communities who have been and continue to be excluded, under-served, or underrepresented in STEM along several dimensions.
In celebration of the 250th anniversary of American Independence on July 4, 2026, the Public Affairs Section (PAS) at U.S. Embassy Manama is pleased to announce a funding opportunity to support activities and events that commemorate this historic milestone.
