AACTE Holmes Scholars

As a member of the American Association of College and Teacher Education (AACTE), the College of Education is part of the AACTE Holmes Scholars Program. This program is designed to enhance the education profession by recruiting, preparing, and sustaining scholar-leaders who reflect and understand the implications of varied perspectives in the nation’s learning communities. AACTE is the leading voice on educator preparation and represents more than 800 postsecondary institutions.

The Holmes Scholars® Program is designed specifically for graduate students in colleges of education and provides mentorship, peer support, professional development and rich scholarly experiences to graduate students on campuses across the United States.

At the University of Maryland College of Education, we recognize that persistent societal inequalities are often reflected and reinforced in educational settings. The COE Holmes Scholars Program will forge a professoriate and education leadership pipeline of culturally and equity-minded EdTerps who will engage in and lead efforts to advance equity and transform education for good.
