NCCF graduate fellow Gabriela Barajas won a General Research Fellowship and current doctoral students and former graduate fellows Alejandra Cortazar Valdes and Jeanne L. Reid were awarded Policy Research Fellowships from Teachers College. Highly competitive, the fellowships are awarded to doctoral students whose work shows significant promise of impacting research and policy.
NCCF co-directors Jeanne Brooks-Gunn and Sharon Lynn Kagan were named 2010 Fellows of the American Educational Research Association (AERA). The AERA Fellows Program honors education researchers with substantial research accomplishments, to convey the Association’s commitment to excellence in research, and to enable the next generation of emerging scholars to appreciate the value of sustained achievements in research and the breadth of scholarship worthy of recognition. Fellows are nominated by their peers, selected and recommended by the Fellows Committee, and approved by the AERA Council, the Association’s elected governing group. Drs. Brooks-Gunn and Kagan were among seven TC faculty members named AERA fellows.
NCCF is pleased to announce the launch of a Transitions website providing a platform for dissemination and discussion about the Center's National/International Transitions and Alignment Analysis project. This project involves a deep and broad analysis of transitions efforts taking place within the United States and internationally. Innovatively, we posit a new framework to conceptualize transitions that uses a three-pronged approach, highlighting the pedagogical, programmatic, and policy efforts that combine to create a culture of continuity for young children and their families. The project was funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Click here to visit the new website and to learn more about the project.
