School of Education

Michael Rosenberg, professor in the Department of Special Education, will receive the 2008 Teaching Education Division Publication Award at the Council of Exceptional Children convention in Seattle in April. Rosenberg is one of five researchers who will receive the award for an article published in 2007 in Teacher Education and Special Education. His article, "Getting Teachers Where They're Needed Most: The Case for Licensure Reciprocity," assesses whether reciprocity among states is effective in reducing teacher shortages. Reciprocity refers to an agreement among member states to accept another state's teacher preparation and licensing process to the extent they are comparable. Instead, the article argues for other approaches to reduce the teacher shortage including differential pay for those in low-income districts, giving credit to teachers for their years of service when they relocate to a new area and maintaining their pension status. This is the third time Rosenberg has earned the publication award.

Susan Lehmann, an assistant professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, has been selected as a recipient of the American Psychiatric Association's Nancy C.A.
