It’s always amazing to watch our community come together to tackle real challenges and share how we’re working to transform education. This year’s College of Education Research Symposium was no exception. Organized by students from across the college, the poster, roundtable and paper sessions provided an opportunity for participants to get experience presenting while also receiving feedback on their research.
Can you solve this Connections puzzle? Hint: UF College of Education graduate programs are pretty spectacular!
The UF College of Education was just named the No. 2 education school in the U.S. by @usnews . This wouldn’t be possible without our faculty creating meaningful learning experiences for all and our students who are driven to shape the future of education. We are #2 in Counseling, #5 in Special Education, #12 in Elementary Teacher Education, #17 in Curriculum and Instruction and #19 in both Educational Administration and Higher Education.
The UF Literacy Institute recently received a $2,000,000 grant to support reading instruction and proficiency. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s ETechM² Program, the five-year UFLIAI: Advancing Foundational Literacy with Artificial Intelligence study will develop an AI-enhanced learning analytic tool integrated into UFLI Foundations. #AIatUF
