MCPER’s Dr. Anna-Mari Fall has won this year’s Council for Exceptional Children Teacher Education Division (TED) Dissertation Award for Doctoral Level Research for her dissertation Disparities in Teacher Quality Among Early Career Special Educators in High- and Low-Poverty Districts. Fall will receive the award at this year’s TED Kaleidoscope, where she will be a featured speaker.
