The Faculty of Education is very pleased to host Dr. Leyton Schnellert, a candidate for the Eleanor Rix Professorship in Rural Education, on November 9 and 10!

He researches teacher learning, practice, and collaboration, in particular how teacher professional development relates to student diversity, inclusive education, self- and co-regulation, and literacy instruction.
