Congratulations to Dr. Jan Hare, Dean pro tem, on receiving a Spencer Foundation grant for her Indigenous-led Teacher Education in Global and Local Contexts: Setting Research Priorities and New Directions project.
The project, a three-day international symposium, will culminate in a final research report. The research report will detail a research agenda for Indigenous teacher education (ITE) and draw on critical dialogues, knowledge co-creation and symposium activities. It will also help guide research directions and establish research questions and key issues in ITE, based on priorities identified by scholars, teacher educators, students and community members taking part in the symposium, as well as those conducting research in this critical area of development.
The Spencer Foundation has been a leading funder of education research since 1971 and is the only national foundation focused exclusively on supporting education research. The Spencer Foundation supports high-quality, innovative research on education, and its programs provide funding for education-focused research projects, research training fellowships and additional field-building initiatives.
