This year, FSU Anne's College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences launched Project SPARK, a collaborative initiative designed to close the gap between research and real-world practice in K-12 education. Through this program, Anne's College builds sustainable partnerships between university faculty and K-12 educators to tackle pressing education challenges. The Teacher-Researcher Innovation Grant Competition empowers faculty and K-12 educators to co-create research that directly addresses problems of practice, translating findings into actionable tools, strategies, and resources for educators and leaders.
We are proud to announce that FSUS has been awarded funding for five innovative Project SPARK research projects! Stay tuned for updates as we continue to lead with way with instruction that moves, leaders who inspire, and research that makes a difference in the 21st century!
