Asst. Prof. Elizabeth van Es Receives 2008 Knowles Science Teaching Foundation Young Scholars Fellowship
Elizabeth van Es, Assistant Professor researching teacher cognition, professional development, and teacher learning communities, is one of four scholars nationwide to receive a 2008 Knowles Science Teaching Foundation Young Scholars Fellowship. Dr. van Es has been awarded a full fellowship totaling $110,000 over two years for her project entitled: What do you notice: Understanding the nature and development of pre-service teachers' professional vision for reform teaching.
The Knowles Science Teaching Foundation (KSTF) was established in 1999 to enhance the quality of high school science and mathematics teaching. The Young Scholars Fellowship is designed to support early career scholars engaged in research critical to the recruitment, preparation, induction, mentoring, and retention of science and mathematics teachers in U.S. high schools. A panel of expert reviewers judged the overall merit of each proposal with respect to the mission of KSTF, as well as the potential of the scholar to make important contributions to his or her respective fields. Dr. van Es's proposed research project "received exceptionally high praise from all reviewers" (KSTF, 4/4/08).
