“We live in uncertain times,” says Punya Mishra, associate dean of Scholarship and Innovation and professor at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College. He is not, necessarily, referring to the last tumultuous year of 2020, but instead references how emerging technologies, globalization and climate change will affect how all of us live and learn.

For most teens, the break between semesters is a relaxed time of unstructured adventure. Driving around with friends. Meeting at the mall. Lounging by the pool.
While these past months were uncommon due to the COVID-19 pandemic, for a handful of students from the Gary K. Herberger Young Scholars Academy this break was always going to be out of the ordinary.

In the early 1970s, Steve Graham was a long-haired free-spirit hitchhiking across America, trying to find himself. All he needed to survive was a few bucks in his pocket, a jar of peanut butter and a loaf of bread.
Flash forward to 2021. The former hippie drifter is now a Regents Professor at Arizona State University.
Beginning in fall 2021, Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University will offer a Master of Science degree in Education Sciences on the Tempe campus. The new degree program equips educators with the knowledge and skills to conduct and use quantitative research in education. Those skills include designing scientifically valid research studies, measurement, data management, data mining, quantitative data analysis and practical research.
