While the number of global learning opportunities for current Neag School students continues to expand, the School will now be offering yet another type of internationally based program — one designed to serve practicing school principals based in the Middle Eastern country of Jordan.

Replication of scientific findings has been a cornerstone of validating research for generations, yet it happens so infrequently that many have claimed science is in a replication crisis. A University of Kansas special education professor has co-authored — with the Neag School’s Michael Coyne — a study on replication, its effects on the field and students, and suggests a more dynamic approach to research could help address the paucity of replication.

The UConn Chapter of PDK is pleased to announce that this year’s recipient of the Dr. Virginia J. Grzymkowski Scholarship is Ms. Kathleen M. Williamson, a doctoral student in Educational Psychology at the University of Connecticut.

Congratulations to our Neag School alumni, faculty, staff, and students on their latest accomplishments inside and outside the classroom.

Neag School students completing the UConn Administrator Preparation Program (UCAPP) this spring presented their change projects — the program’s signature capstone assignment, in which students identify a need or opportunity for school improvement and work toward positive change — during the 2nd Annual Change Project Day.

What’s the best way to prepare special-needs students for the workforce?

The Neag School of Education is proud to announce that a Connecticut student, Aleema Kelly from CREC Montessori Magnet School in Hartford, Conn., is the national winner of the Library of Congress’ “Letters About Literature” contest for Level I, grades 4-6. The Neag School was the 2016 Connecticut sponsor for the Letters About Literature (LAL) writing contest for students in grades 4-12.
