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."

How can you make an old fable such as the "Ant and the Grasshopper," Aesop’s classic tale about the value of hard work, come alive? For one student at Lafayette Elementary School, the answer was simple: Just add sound. The student participated in an after-school program and partnership called the Literacy and Media Lab, between the School of Education and Boulder Valley School District.

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.

The annual School of Education Scholarship Awards Ceremony united and honored more than 180 scholarship and fellowship recipients and supporters on Friday, Sept. 20. The ceremony celebrated student accomplishments and recognized the generosity of supporters.

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.

In a new book, School of Education professor Elizabeth Dutro lays out a road map for how educators can begin to incorporate the difficult life experiences of their students into day-to-day school activities—from essay prompts to lessons on poetry.
