In the end of September the School of Education celebrated its 125th anniversary (1885 -2010).
Lots of alumni gathered to discuss the future of teaching. The School held the anniversary with a daylong celebration, offering different panel discussions around the theme “Stories That Changed the Face of Public Education”. Besides that, the Alumni Achievement Awards were presented and school reform leader Phil Schlechty gave a keynote address in the Carolina Inn Hotel. Of special interest to us was the panel discussion of “Leading the Way for Children with Special Needs”. The panel members discussed the most influential issues/ moments in the field of special education in the past 125 years and what the School of Education needs to do in the years ahead to support leadership for exceptional children. Several speakers stated that in the future, teaching styles will have to change to accommodate the wide variety of students and their learning styles and they stressed the need of creativity in teaching.
Happy anniversary!
