Special Features and Notable Accomplishments

Wright State education graduates excel at state and national levels. In recognition of their commitment to the teaching profession, Wright State graduates have received the Milken Family Foundation National Educator Award, Disney's American Teacher Award, the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Teaching, the Ohio Governor's Leadership Award, and the Ohio Department of Education Family Partnership Award. Within the past seven years, three Wright State graduates have been named Ohio Teacher of the Year.

Wright State is one of three universities chosen by the Ohio Board of Regents to develop the Ohio Teaching-Learning Initiative to improve teacher education statewide. The modeling of best practice is shared with K-12 educators in the C.L.A.S.S. research project and the Model Schools Science and Mathematics Initiative. WSU coordinates the Regents Scholars Program, a state-funded, multi-university graduate program in mathematics and science education.

Funded by the Ohio Board of Regents, Montgomery County, and private donors, Wright State recently established the Urban Literacy Institute. The Diversity in Teaching and Teacher Education Initiatives and the Urban Teachers' Institute are two additional examples of the collaborative relationships that exist with community schools and agencies for continuous program improvement and service to citizens in the greater Miami Valley.
