In this age of school accountability, educators often complain that they are being pushed to “teach to the test.” After all, how are kids going to become true lifelong learners if their academic aspirations begin and end with passing the FCAT? The College Reach-Out Program, a state program based at UF’s College of Education, is working to correct that, with a summer camp that teaches all three FCAT subjects through the lens of future careers.

At this time of year, I typically sit down to write an enthusiastic, optimistic message to COE faculty, staff and friends, welcoming them back to campus and introducing them to new members of the faculty. It’s usually an exciting and pleasant task. Over the past few years, I’ve grown accustomed to welcoming not one or […]

The UF Lastinger Center for Learning the University of Florida College of Education’s Office of Educational Research invite COE faculty members and students to attend an insightful and compassionate discourse about a hidden crisis that has many parents deeply concerned about the mismatch between their sons and schools. This lecture and panel discussion is a must for anyone concerned about equity in education and making sure that none of our students are lost in a system reacting to social realities.

Former COE dean Bert Sharp, who led UF’s College of Education
through the turbulent and transformative 1970s, died Aug. 31 in Naples. He was
81.
Sharp was a professor in the Counselor Education department
in 1968, when he was catapulted into the dean’s position by the tragic death of
then-dean Kimball Wiles, who was killed in a car accident.

At, least, that’s how it worked for Troy Sadler. Long before the Ph.D., the published articles and the grants, Sadler was a kitchen drudge in the palace of science.
“My first job was in a lab that studied population genetics in daphnia—a kind of water flea,” he said. “I washed dishes. Then, when I’d been around a while, they let me take care of the bugs.”
As newly-arrived immigrants continue to enter America’s schools, many states are looking to Florida as a model for how to teach them.
The Sunshine State is one of America’s most linguistically diverse places, and Florida is considered by many to be a testbed for methods for preparing teachers for students who are still learning English. But three experts at the University of Florida’s College of Education are not so sure the Sunshine State couldn’t be doing it better. They’re taking a comprehensive look at just how effective our teacher preparation methods really are.

When people say the word scientist, what comes to mind? White coats and glasses? Beakers and test-tubes? A white man with graying temples, working in a lab?
How about a young African-American woman?
Too many people never think of that last image. And according to three researchers at the University of Florida’s College of Education, that lack of vision is a big problem — not just for black women, but for the nation’s future.
