Dean’s Future Scholars
Dean's Future Scholars (DFS) is an academic outreach program housed in the College of Education that has maintained a 17-year partnership with the Washoe County School District to help low-income, first generation students graduate from high school and college and pursue a career in the field of education. Since its inception in 2000, 1116 students have been served and over 65% have pursued higher education immediately following high school. In 2016, 98% of the DFS senior cohort graduated from high school, proving that annual mentoring and summer programming opportunities on the University of Nevada, Reno campus are a successful approach to helping serve underrepresented students starting in the 6th grade and continuing through college.

WeTeach
Class photo of EDU 110
Washoe County School District and University of Nevada, Reno have collaborated to develop a program that prepares aspiring education students for their transition into college and the workforce. WeTeach is currently being implemented at Sparks High School, where students can enroll in the WeTeach course EDU 110. This college level course offers transferable college credits, access to UNR resources, assistance from the College of Education with the university transition, and a para-professional internship that introduces students to the day-to-day life of an educator. While interning at Robert Mitchell Elementary School, members of the EDU 110 class learn to develop an effective lesson plan and how to engage with young students. Principal of Robert Mitchell Elementary, Teri Vaughn, said “I am impressed with the caliber of students who are visiting our school and learning about the education field.”
The contribution to community extends beyond the classrooms of Robert Mitchell Elementary and Sparks High School; all the way to Seville, Spain, where a group of local students work to better their English through the collaboration with the EDU 110 class.

Early Childhood Online Special Educator Education: Project ECHOSEE
Nevada is in the midst of an immense shortage of adequately prepared educators to serve the needs of young children with disabilities and their families. ECHOSEE (Early Childhood Hybrid Online Special Educator Education) is a program specifically focused on increasing the number of early interventionists/early childhood special educators who hold appropriate licensure to serve infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children with disabilities and their families. Upon completion of the program through the College of Education at the University of Nevada Reno, participants will be eligible for both a master's degree in early childhood special education and state licensure to serve children birth through age 7 with disabilities and their families.
ECHOSEE will immediately increase the number of licensed personnel eligible to provide services to young children with disabilities since scholars funded through the program commit to an early intervention and/or early childhood special education services position for a period of two years for every year for which assistance is received.

Project ReCharge
Project ReCharge is an ITEST grant (Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers) through the National Science Foundation. This year, Project ReCharge was recognized by GREENevada (Growing Resources for Environmental Education in Nevada) as an Outstanding Educational Program. Project ReCharge was awarded the Golden Pinecone award for its success in engaging students, faculty and staff in local middle schools and high schools to become energy detectives focused on saving their schools thousands of dollars in energy costs.
The project strategy involved implementing research-based energy efficiency curriculum in 8th grade mathematics and science classes, as well as high school environmental science, and Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes. Teachers attended professional development workshops which integrated energy and technology into their core curriculum, and hands-on inquiry science methods to create authentic STEM experiences for their students. Project ReCharge outreach included 30 teachers and 3,000 middle and high school students from mostly rural, economically disadvantaged, and racially diverse communities.
Led by a highly-qualified team consisting of the University of Nevada, Reno’s Raggio Research Center for STEM Education, Envirolution, a nonprofit energy education provider, and the Washoe County School District, the students discovered how building systems and appliances consume energy in their schools. Student groups used tablet computers to interact with real-time data: identifying and tracking major electrical loads in their school buildings. Using this data, student groups submitted proposals with energy conservation opportunities. Students, teachers, Envirolution staff, building control services engineers, and school district facility collaborated to implement these recommendations.
