Warner professor receives award

Hursh

David Hursh, associate professor of education at the University, has received the outstanding teacher educator award from the New York State Association of Teacher Educators.

Director of teacher education at the Margaret Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development, Hursh designs programs, supervises student teaching placements and activities, and develops grant proposals to improve teacher education.

Before joining the Warner School in 1989, Hursh co-directed an alternative university, led two private elementary schools, and was a consultant on race and gender equity.

The award is presented annually to an individual who works to nurture the intellectual and personal growth and development of teachers at various stages of their professional lives.

Hursh is the author of many studies on democracy and schools, and last year co-edited a volume called Democratic Social Education: Social Studies for Social Change.
