Lisa Kurtz, a 2008 SOE alumna, has been selected by the Alliance for Excellent Education, a federal policy and advocacy organization, to speak at an event on November 3, 2009, at which they will release a brief on the need to reform teacher education. The group’s focus is on advocating for underserved secondary students. The brief is titled Teaching for a New World: Preparing High School Educators to Deliver College-and Career-Ready Instruction.
Kurtz teaches mathematics at Grosse Pointe South High School. At the event, she plans to focus on how the University of Michigan prepared her, especially in methods and literacy, and on how she implements her education and training in her classroom.
Update on November 6, 2009: Materials, including audio and video, are available.
