A few pics of the past holiday moments and looking ahead to 2013
Dee Holmes- ESU faculty member
Association of Teacher Educators
The Association of Teacher Educators acknowledges the school as the principal environment for advancing
effective teaching as teachers acquire new skills and practice them in the clinical setting of the classroom.
ESU received the 2002 award for Distinguished Research in Teacher Education for the Multicultural/
Diversity Assessment Project, a multi-year project that developed valid assessments for measuring how well
students learned multicultural/diversity content knowledge.
The award for the Distinguished Program in Teacher Education honors outstanding teacher education
programs that exemplify collaboration between local education agencies and institutions of higher
education. ESU received the 2008 award for its partnership with the Olathe School District in the Olathe
Professional Development Schools.
The award for the Distinguished Clinician in Teacher Education honors school-based teacher educators
whose work helps teachers become better at what they do. Dee Holmes received the 2009 award for
university faculty. Dee is highly respected by students, faculty, mentor teachers, and principals for her
diligent efforts to produce the highest quality elementary teachers.
This is a post I copied from the Legacy page of ESU with some of the accomplishments of ESU Teachers College. Besides contacting Dr. Weaver I have also added Dee Holmes to my list as well. The paragraph about the partnership with the Olathe School District is a big part of my masters and finding distinguished role models is essential.

Dr. Ken Weaver named dean of Emporia State University's Teacher College
In moving forward with my project I found it necessary to seek out a top program in the state that has a history of excellence in orchestrating a partnership between Emporia State education majors and USD #253. The dean of our education department at Central Christian personally knows Dr. Ken Weaver, dean of ESU Teachers College and Dr. Allen has given his blessing to get going on my project with ESU.
My hope is to develop an improved substainable pilot partnership between CCC education students and an elem. school in McPherson. I'm excited to set up my first visit in the near future with Dr. Weaver and his staff of professors.
Here are a couple of quotes from the website:
"Emporia State's Teachers College is recognized by the US Department of Ed. as one of only three models for teacher education. It recently earned reaccreditation from NCATE, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Ed."
As the new dean of The Teachers College, Dr. Ken Weaver looks forward to engage our students, faculty, staff and alumni as well as our P-12 partners in USD 253 and throughout the state, our community and elected officals to create new opportunities for excellence.
When checking out the link below you'll learn he is currently president of the Kansas Association of Colleges for Teacher Ed. and has written more than 50 articles etc.
Please check out the attached link.
