Diana Joyce, a lecturer in UF’s Department of Educational Psychology, took another look at this bit of conventional wisdom.

Nowhere is the teacher shortage more painfully obvious than in the special needs classroom – but in special education, being shorthanded is only part of the problem. The teachers who do work in the field need a wider range of skills than other teachers, but they are often the least prepared teachers to do their job and frequently do not have sufficient on the job learning opportunities to learn the sophisticated skills they need.

When American academics travel to sub-Saharan Africa, the public often sees them as missionaries – sharing the advanced learning of the West with struggling people on a strife-torn continent. But when Professor Cirecie West-Olatunji and her students traveled to South Africa and Botswana this summer, it was clear the Americans were the ones who had the most to learn.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — It is a familiar source of frustration for anyone who has studied in a university or community college: you desperately need a specific course, but the class is full by the time you get to register.

On the University of Florida campus this summer, a researcher is studying the effects of prenatal cocaine exposure on fetal development. Another researcher is looking for ways to boost the levels of cancer-preventing compounds in broccoli. Yet another is examining the effects of pollution on tiny animals in Gainesville’s creeks.
All of these summer projects are being done by high school students – including low-income students from some of the state’s most stressed schools.

For Patricia Snyder, being named the first occupant of the David Lawrence Jr. Endowed Chair of Early Childhood Studies at the University of Florida was a natural fit.
For pre-school children in Florida, Snyder’s selection to the $1.5 million teaching and research post means they now have a leading scholar in early education and care working on their behalf.
In the new global economy, you have to be able to re-create your professional persona from scratch in order to survive – even if you’re in a traditionally secure job like teaching.
So says University of Florida alumna Elizabeth Van Ella, the teacher-turned-corporate-CEO who delivered the address to graduating seniors at the UF College of Education’s Spring 2007 baccalaureate commencement.

UF takes lead in $2 million study of special education teacher development
