Research productivity and scholarly influence are a central foundation for UConn's Neag School of Education. The Office of Teacher Education engages in research activities that directly impact PK-12 students across the state of Connecticut and the nation.

The Sueños Scholars Program, through UConn Stamford and the Neag School of Education’s Teacher Certification Program for College Graduates, prepares underrepresented students for careers as educators. It provides community-based internship experiences in partner Alliance districts, specifically those with teacher shortages in the key areas of special education and other secondary content areas, to undergraduate and graduate students.

Sueños Scholars is a collaborative program between UConn Stamford and UConn’s Neag School of Education. Funding is provided by the United States Department of Education.
