Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Neag Teacher Education Newsletter! As the semester unfolds, we are proud to highlight the continued impact of our alumni, faculty, district partners, and students. This issue showcases the leadership of our Alumni Board, the scholarship of new and longstanding faculty members, and the generosity of donors whose support sustains the preparation of future educators in the Integrated Bachelor’s/Master’s (IB/M) program and the Teacher Certification Program for College Graduates (TCPCG). In each issue, we will also share teaching ideas and resources!

If you are receiving this message, then THANK YOU for being part of the Neag School’s IB/M and TCPCG community. Your work continues to reflect the heart of our mission — advancing equity and excellence in education through innovative teaching, leadership, and collaboration.

We will be sending this community newsletter four times a year, and we would love to feature your contributions and stories. Have you tried a new teaching approach or brought culturally responsive lessons to life in your classroom? Do you have a moment of joy or celebration to share with the Neag School community? We’d love to feature your story in a future issue!

Share your classroom highlights with us by emailing the Director of Teacher Education, Dr. Alyssa Hadley Dunn, at ahdunn@uconn.edu.
