Teachers for a New Era - UConn

The Neag School of Education is proud to be among the 11 chosen by the Carnegie Corporation of New York to be participants in the Teachers for a New Era (TNE) network. During a TNE-UConn kick-off event in 2004, Dr. Vartan Gregorian, president of the Carnegie Corporation, heralded UConn's efforts to make teacher education a university-wide responsibility. Our inclusion in this effort to improve teacher quality in U.S. schools is a badge of distinction. Under the direction of Dr. Scott Brown, professor of educational psychology, the Neag School of Education faculty is working in partnership with the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences faculty to increase research collaboration, analyze and redesign curriculum in general education and content courses, and develop new tools for assessing teacher quality on student performance.
