The Neag School of Education hosted 15 German Fulbright educators as part of a short course focused on the theme of “Diversity in U.S. Education” held on the Storrs campus earlier this spring.

A pilot reading initiative led by two UConn professors is showing dramatic results four years after its implementation, much to the delight of lawmakers and advocates who have struggled for years to close Connecticut’s significant reading achievement gap.

The Neag School of Education honored more than 100 of its students last night at its 22nd Annual Honors Celebration. The event, held at the Jorgensen Center for Performing Arts on the UConn Storrs campus, brought together the student recipients of this year’s Neag School-affiliated scholarships, their guests, and the donors whose contributions to the School make these crucial sources of financial support possible.

Four years into a pilot initiative for giving intensive reading instruction to the Connecticut children who need it most, the directors of the initiative will present data showing they have achieved dramatic results, especially among the students who have participated over several years.

The Neag School of Education hosted an Education Recruitment Career Fair on April 7 in the Student Union Ballroom. A total of 58 school districts from across the state of Connecticut participated.

For the second year running, the Neag School will be welcoming a selection of promising new doctoral candidates to campus this fall, each of whom will arrive knowing they be provided with four years of fully funded support through the prestigious Dean’s Doctoral Scholar program.

Each report — the first of which was released in late March by the Manhattan Institute and a […]

UConn alum Robert H. Hart ’40 (CLAS) lived a life dedicated to his hometown of Meriden, Conn., including a 30-year career spent there as an educator. Hart, who passed away in April 2015 at the age of 96, will now be remembered at the Neag School through a student scholarship newly established in his name.

After more than $56,000 was raised for the Valerie J. Pichette Scholarship Fund from 117 donors, the Neag School will honor the scholarship’s first student recipient, UConn alum and incoming TCPCG student Luis Organista ’14 (CAHNR), later this month.

For more than a decade, school districts across the country have been revamping their career and technical education programs to better prepare students with the high-tech skills in demand today.

But as transformative as many of these so-called CTE programs have been, a new report by the Manhattan Institute for Public Policy and co-authored by Neag School assistant professor Shaun Dougherty cautions that there is much important work that still needs to be done.
