Student Success
Everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve. Through a variety of approaches our faculty are actively removing barriers and building bridges for the success of every student. In areas of literacy, special education, counseling, and even social justice, we are lighting the way toward a more inclusive and brighter future.
PASSING THE TORCH
TO CHAMPION
the next generation of educators
A lifelong legacy of service in education, Della Rosenberg (M.Ed. ‘50) pledged a $500,000 estate over five years to support the success of four ProTeach students each year. Through the Della Rosenberg ProTeach Scholarship, her legacy will continue on championing brighter futures for the next generation of educators.
TRANSFORMING PRACTICE
CHALLENGING CONVENTION
to champion a child’s future
Less than 40 percent of Florida children are able to read proficiently by the fourth grade – a benchmark year in predicting a child’s success. Florida is facing a literacy crisis, but through a generous $3 million donation from the world’s best selling author, James Patterson, the University of Florida is tackling the crisis head on through the James Patterson Literacy Challenge.
GETTING A HEAD START
TO ACCELERATE LEARNING
through cross-campus collaboration
UF’s Online Dual Enrollment program is revolutionizing the way high school students can get a head start on higher education by breaking down barriers of traditional on-campus course delivery. Students can access nearly 50 general education courses and interact directly with UF’s premier faculty, opening the door to higher education earlier.
OPENING EYES
AND BUILDING CONFIDENCE
through intensive literacy instruction
The University of Florida’s Literacy Initiative is pioneering identification and intervention for struggling readers, and is renowned for its expansive research and program development. Recently, faculty have developed an online certificate that has gained interest from psychology and speech pathology professionals, as well as parents hoping to help their children succeed in the classroom.
