As the year comes to an end, we like to look back on some of the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ School of Education's notable accomplishments and milestones. As we look ahead to future initiatives, we hope to keep steadfast in our dedication to democracy, diversity, equity and justice. Here are some of our top highlights from 2019.
At the fall series of the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ's Ed Talks, we learned about leaning into the discomfort of learning, re-humanizing education, and more. Inspired by TED Talks, Ed Talks explore "hot topics" in education through short, engaging presentations led by education professors, researchers, and collaborators. Missed the latest Ed Talks?

From her first course in education, Kayleigh Esswein was hooked. She always knew she wanted to teach and viewed teaching as a means for addressing educational inequities. Esswein is part of the inaugural cohort of graduate students enrolled in the new one-year, immersive MA+ humanities teacher licensure program for future English language arts and social studies teachers.
The latest issue of the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ School of Education's magazine, Voices, released this fall explores stories of youth activism, sustainable community partnerships, school leadership and more. A thread runs throughout this issue—the importance and impact of community leadership. In educational settings and throughout our communities, we need strong, humane and dignified leaders more than ever.

When friends and colleagues Johanna Maes and Elena Sandoval-Lucero could not find an intersectional teaching tool to aid in grappling with often painful situations that affect marginalized people in higher education, they launched a book project to fill the gap. There are two opportunities to learn more about, “Case Studies in Equity, Diversity & Inclusion in Higher Education: An Intersectional Perspective."
In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers working in a school district near Denver have examined the impacts of enrolling children in full- versus half-day preschool programs. The research team, led by Assistant Professor Allison Atteberry, found that the extra school hours improved how children performed in assessments of vocabulary, literacy, math and more.
For the first time ever, a new online resource will give journalists, educators, parents and policymakers the chance to search through data on the academic performance, district-level racial and socioeconomic composition, segregation patterns and other educational conditions of schools nationwide. Assistant Professor Benjamin Shear helped to develop the statistical methods underlying the new resource.
