Leigh’s awesome acceptance speech at AACTE

by | Saturday, March 02, 2013

As I had written earlier, the EPET Program received the 2013 Best Practice Award for the Innovative Use of Technology, awarded by the  American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education  (AACTE).  This is an incredible honor and makes all of us (faculty, staff, and students) proud.

The award was presented to us during the 65th AACTE annual meeting in Orlando, Florida on Feb. 28, 2013. Leigh Graves Wolf (co-director of the MAET program) and our Dean (Dr. Don Heller) were both on hand to receive the award and a bunch of us gathered here at the college to watch the live-stream of the ceremony. Leigh did an wonderful job in her acceptance speech – which you can watch in its entirety below:

2020 has been a heck of a year... and maybe in hindsight (hindsight, of course, being 2020) it will all make sense. But, I think we can all agree that it is time to let it go. A lot has changed this past year but one tradition we wanted to keep alive was the short...
