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.
