• Leadership in the Teacher Education Core (LTEC), University of Kansas Department of Special Education. http://www2.ku.edu/~ltec/
  The Leadership in the Teacher Education Core (LTEC) website provides information about this funded project (CFDA 84.325) that supports doctoral study in special education teacher preparation. These students specialize in four distinct tool areas: research, technology, cultural responsiveness, and professional development. Graduates of this project will be teacher educators who can immediately apply evidence-based best practices in teacher education.

Current Grants/Projects

• Walther-Thomas, C., Griswold, D.E., & Knowlton, E. (2007-2010). Leadership in the Teacher Education Core (L-TEC). USDOE-OSEP CFDA 84.325D. $800,000.
  This OSEP funded grant will produce doctoral level (Ph.D.) teacher educators who can immediately apply evidence-based best practices in teacher education to improve university-based special education personnel preparation. Project participants will gain expert knowledge and skills and critical learning experiences in role functions pertinent to higher education teacher preparation: college teaching and research in teacher education; advisement, supervision and coaching of teachers; and public service via professional development. Four learning tools will be integrated across each role function. These tools are: (1) instructional and telecommunications technology; (2) exposure to and competence regarding cultural and linguistic diversity; (3) multiple approaches to research, development, and evaluation; and (4) development and nurturance of a collaborative learning community including higher education and public school faculty, teacher education candidates, and the doctoral student participants.
