The National Science Foundation established its engineering research center initiative in 1984 to unite academic and industrial researchers in transforming American engineering and preparing tomorrow’s engineers. Based on university campuses, ERCs are initially funded by the foundation with up to $5 million per year, but each is expected to become self-sustaining within a decade. The program is highly competitive.
ASU’s Center for Advanced Studies in Global Education, a part of Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, organized and hosted a symposium aimed at answering the many questions surrounding global learning metrics as a central component of the post-2015 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
The symposium, “Innovations in Global Learning Metrics: a focused debate among users, producers and researchers,” was organized by Iveta Silova, professor and director of CASGE and

Nonprofit work does have its rewards, but it also has its frustrations. Greg Pereira, a doctoral student in Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, learned this after running a homeless shelter for several years.
“I could find people shelter or a bed, get them medical attention and help them land a minimum-wage job, but I didn’t have the power to really change their lives,” said Pereira, who will earn his doctoral degree in education in leadership and innovation in December.
Research by Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College Assistant Professor Jeongeun Kim has received increased attention in recent months, thanks to two respected sources.

Back in November, college leaders and local school administration members gathered to watch a presentation of what could be part of the future of how MLFTC student teachers learn how to create change — and ultimately improve the system — from the inside out.
As part of the curriculum, senior-year college students who were placed in Washington Elementary School District as student teachers — 14 to be exact — were given an opportunity and the tools to try out a mindset of “educator as designer” while in their classrooms.
Today, American Enterprise Institute director of education policy studies and Education Week blogger Frederick M. Hess released his 2019 “Edu-Scholar Public Influence Rankings.” Each year, Hess’ committee of experts honors the top 200 university-based scholars in education — from a pool of over 20,000 — who had the greatest influence on the nation’s education discourse throughout the year.
