NAEd members are elected based on outstanding scholarship or leadership related to education. Briggs and Welner join a group of just 22 national and international colleagues elected to the Academy this year.
“I am delighted that two of our CU Boulder colleagues have been recognized among the highest honors in education,' said Fernando Rosario-Ortiz, interim dean for the School of Education.
Joe Polman, associate dean of research, added: “Drs. Briggs and Welner are leading experts in their areas of study who continue to push our understanding of the impact of educational policies and practices—from the meticulous work that Dr. Briggs uses to scrutinize methodological approaches to evaluating student growth to Dr. Welner’s creative and determined focus on bringing high-quality research to bear on closing opportunity gaps.
“We know they will be invaluable contributors to the Academy.”
