Election of two new Executive Board
Members-at-Large
The recent ISfTE election is complete. Thank you to all who took the time to vote.
The following two candidates have received the highest number of votes, and so have
been elected for a 3-year term as Members-at-Large of the ISfTE Executive Board:
- Dr. Cornel DaCosta (University of East London, England)
- Dr. Peggy Saunders (Weber State University, USA)
With this election, the revised ISfTE governance structure is complete. This is
an exciting time as ISfTE moves beyond its 30th year of service to teacher educators
around the world and with plans shaping up for the next four seminars to be held
in Norway (2011), Bhutan (2012), Bahrain (2013), and Hong Kong (2014), we are set
for an exciting future.
