Just because people aren’t talking about race doesn’t mean they aren’t really talking about race, Keon M. McGuire, assistant professor of higher and postsecondary education in Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College says. He’s referring to his experience with coded language during his time in Germany. For two weeks this summer, McGuire served as a visiting professor with the Institute for Special Education at Leibniz University in Hannover, Germany — an opportunity presented to him by Alfredo Artiles, dean of graduate education at ASU.
Maria Tatto, Southwest Borderlands Professor of Comparative Education at ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, has been named an honorary research fellow at the University of Oxford.
Aligned with ASU’s commitment to assume fundamental responsibility for the overall health of the communities we serve, Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College is deeply engaged with communities throughout Arizona and beyond.
Our social embeddedness is reflected in the fact that MLFTC students contribute to more than 550 schools in the state. It’s also reflected in the way we pursue deep, long-term partnerships with districts, schools and community organizations.
In a column published on PolitiFact, Gustavo Fischman, MLFTC professor of educational policy, writes, "If you look at the measures of entrepreneurial activity after finishing high school and college, the health of the American-educated workforce is pretty good."
Incoming Arizona State University freshman Aquarie Doyle readily admits she didn’t have an idyllic childhood.
The product of a broken home, her parents were both teens when she was born. Doyle’s father ended up leaving for good when she was 7, and Aquarie was raised by her single mother and other assorted relatives.
Doyle found refuge at school and comfort in her kindergarten teacher, Mary McClain of Phoenix’s Esperanza Elementary School.

Through hard work and dedication, 27 Arizona State University students have qualified for the President’s Volunteer Service Award.
The national award was established in 2003 by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation and recognizes the importance of volunteers in the U.S. and their commitment to serving their communities.
In total, the ASU students’ efforts amount to thousands of hours in community impact, giving their time to help tackle issues like homelessness, the environment, education in underserved communities and many others.
Each year, Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College honors faculty members whose scholarship and teaching embody our mission to create knowledge, mobilize people and take action to improve education. This year, we are pleased to honor four faculty members who, in different ways, exemplify excellence and a spirit of creative intrapreneurship.

The pitchfork symbol is ubiquitous around Arizona State University, and now there is finally a sculpture of the iconic representation of the Sun Devils, unveiled last week.
The 6-foot, 3-inch-tall bronze pitchfork sits at the southeast entrance of the newly renovated Sun Devil Stadium, a symbol of school spirit and the perfect place for fan photos.
“We didn’t have anything like this, and we needed our emblem,” said Arthur Pearce II, a Mesa businessman and third-generation Sun Devil, who donated the statue.
Earlier this month, Kristen Hadeed, founder of Student Maid and author of “Permission to Screw Up,” visited ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College to give a talk and workshop on leadership.
