The American Educational Research Association, the leading organization for advancing knowledge about education and promoting the application of educational research, is holding its 2019 Annual Meeting April 5-9 in Toronto.

Denis Alvarez knew that she wanted to become a teacher and that she wanted to go to ASU. What she didn’t know was how to pay for it … until a generous donation helped make her dreams come true.

“When I learned I had received a scholarship, and that a private donor had decided to fund the rest of my tuition, I started to cry,” Alvarez says. “I wouldn’t be here without the scholarship.”

A $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education is funding a major collaboration to improve education. The Consortium for Open Active Pathways will use technology to increase the availability of college-level educational materials. Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College is the lead unit in the consortium which partners ASU with three of America’s largest community college systems: the Maricopa Community Colleges in Phoenix, Miami Dade College (Florida) and Ivy Tech Community College (Indiana).

Finding the “right” job can be tough for anyone, but for military veterans transitioning to civilian life, it can be daunting as they part ways from a highly structured, team-centric environment with unique values and norms not typically found with civilian employers.    

Professional services organization Deloitte, in collaboration with Arizona State University, helped address the veteran transition challenge with the energetic, hands-on CORE Fundamentals workshop held in Sun Devil Stadium April 5 and 6.

The Comparative and International Education Society is dedicated to increasing understanding of educational issues, trends and policies through comparative, intercultural and international perspectives. Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College is proud to be represented by 15 of our scholars who will be presenting, speaking or participating at the CIES annual conference, "Education for Sustainability," April 14–18 in San Francisco. See all their sessions below.

While a doctoral candidate at ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Shawn Loescher (EdD ’18) made an impression on everyone with whom he worked, including MLFTC faculty, fellow classmates, his own students and his community. Now, the TED-Ed Innovative Educator program is recognizing him for his accomplishments. TED-Ed announced today that it has named Loescher as one of only 16 extraordinary innovators worldwide for 2019 because of his leadership in advancing education innovation.

When 300 Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College students begin their senior-year residencies this fall, they will be embarking on a student teaching experience vastly different from what other teacher preparation programs offer. MLFTC is pioneering a new approach to preparing teachers for the education workforce: team-based professional internships and apprenticeships.
