Lawrence Walkup Distinguished Professor in NAU's Department of STEM Education, and Todd Campbell, Professor and Department Head at the University of Connecticut's Neag School of Education, developed Model-Based Inquiry (MBI), a science teaching framework now reaching thousands of educators in 72 countries.

Celebrating Connection and Community During COE Welcome Week

✨ Last month, Welcome Week reminded us that the College of Education is more than classrooms, meetings, and events. It's a community.

From welcoming new faculty, staff, and students to reconnecting with colleagues and retirees, COE kicked off the academic year by celebrating the relationships that make our college strong. We also had the opportunity to officially welcome our new dean, Dr. Yojanna Cuenca-Carlino, as we look ahead to an exciting year of learning, innovation, and collaboration.

Here's to a year of building connections, supporting student success, and making a difference together. 💙💛

🎉 Welcome, Cohort 5! We are so thrilled to have you here in Flagstaff visiting the NAU campus as you kick off this incredible journey together.

These first days at the AZTR Summer Institute is more than orientation — they're about building the community that will carry you through this program and beyond. The relationships you form with your fellow cohort members will become one of your greatest professional resources.

As you settle into this beautiful mountain campus, get ready to dig deep into the theoretical foundations and pedagogical frameworks that will shape you as educators.

Can't wait to get started. 🏔️

🌟It is amazing to see how AZTR Alumni and Residents uniquely foster student confidence and belonging within their own cohorts and with students in the classroom. That’s why they are so supportive of each other while on their teaching journey.

This week, we were so proud to see Chris from AZTR Cohort 2 continue to use his talent and passion to inspire fellow educators at the AzABSE Teacher Leadership Conference. 🙌🏼✨
