Students, faculty member to present at ASCD conference

SMU seniors Hilary Ethen, Jackie Heintz, Erin Morgan and Erica Rubenzer, along with Dr. Scott Sorvaag of the School of Education, were accepted to present “Teachership: Collaborative Dialogues for Enlivening Leadership” at the ASCD annual conference in San Francisco in March 2011.

Their presentation is based on student leadership experiences and collaborative dialogue between faculty and students in preparing the next generation of teachers for enhanced professional leadership in teaching and learning.

These four students served as officers of SMU’s ASCD student chapter in 2009-2010.
