The Judith Herb College of Education welcomes it’s 2013 Distinguished Alumna, State Representation Teresa Fedor.

Homecoming is a time for welcoming alums back to campus to reacquaint themselves with former classmates and teachers as well as to meet current students and faculty.  Representative Fedor graduated from The University of Toledo with a Bachelor of Education degree in June of 1983 and went on to teach for 18 years.  She later pursed a career in public service and is now serving her third term in the Ohio House of Representatives representing the 45^th House District.  Although Representative Fedor lives in Toledo and attends events at the University, we would like to welcome her specifically to the Judith Herb College of Education as its Distinguished Alumna.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Chinese Moon Festival takes place Tuesday, September 17 in the Student Union from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

 

The University of Toledo’s Accelerated Licensure And Master’s Program ( LAMP) is designed for those that have a bachelor degree in a major, other than education.

LAMP students complete a one-year internship while taking graduate courses at The University of Toledo for Ohio licensure and a Master’s of Education Degree.  At the end of the internship, LAMP students present their ideas and examples of how to teach the important concepts in their content through an interactive poster presentation. Included in those attending the presentation are other education students in the Judith Herb College of Education, University of Toledo faculty, superintendents, school principals, mentor teachers and invited guests.

Through the poster presentation, students address what questions can or should be asked in language arts, mathematics, social studies or science classrooms.  They share what types of investigations students should engage in, as well as examples of those investigations.
