ÍøÆسԹÏ

ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï was selected in a highly competitive grant process, as a recipient of a $850,000 Colorado Scholarship Opportunity Initiative (COSI) Back to Work grant. The funding will provide new career paths for workers displaced by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic while also addressing the need for teachers in Colorado’s classrooms.

After three years of working with the Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE) and the Colorado Department of Education (CDE), the Colorado State Board of Education voted unanimously on May 12 to fully reauthorize ÍøÆسԹÏ’s Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education programs.  

A ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï (ÍøÆسԹÏ) faculty member was one of four individuals who received this year’s Edward C. Pomeroy Award for Outstanding Contributions to Teacher Education from the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE).

In a never-ending quest to fuel the teaching pipeline in Colorado and nationwide, the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï virtually hosted its sixth annual Future Teacher Conference on Feb. 19 with keynote speaker Governor Jared Polis.

The ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï today announced that Jared Stallones, Ph.D., will become the next dean of the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences (CEBS).

The Active Schools Institute at the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï has received two grants totaling $125,000 from the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) to improve the quality of physical education and physical activity opportunities for K-12 students in Colorado.

Faculty members at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï are finding creative ways to keep students involved virtually. Two Audiology and Speech-Language Sciences classes involve students receiving built-it-yourself kits of cigar box guitars and PVC pipe didgeridoos to learn about acoustics.

As K-12 schools, colleges and universities turn to online instruction, the dean of ÍøÆسԹÏ’s College of Education and Behavioral Sciences offers tips for students, parents and educators to succeed in this new reality.

In addition to changes made at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï to better support Bears going through the switch to online classes, ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï students and alumni in the teaching field are taking diverse approaches to supporting families in the switch to online learning for their children in preschool through high school.
