Sadia Shaukat (Education), a visiting Fulbright Scholar, was chosen to participate in the inaugural Association of Teacher Educators (ATE) Inquiry Initiative. The initiative is a first-of-its-kind three-year collaborative inquiry for professional educators (scholars and practitioners) from multiple settings, with varying inquiry and pedagogical expertise, and a wide range of demographic profiles. Participants will be intentionally grouped across institutions, roles, and inquiry/practice traditions to collectively examine a common focus: What are the opportunity gaps in education, and in what ways can scholars and practitioners address these gaps in 2022 and beyond? Shaukat will help lead the investigation into this critical question and drive greater impact in teacher education through publication opportunities, media outlets, research briefs, conference presentations, and more.
