The assistant professor in the School of Education has been selected by Phi Delta Kappa International as a part of its 2013-2014 cohort of Emerging Leaders.
PDK International will host Carpenter and 25 other educators at a weekend networking event in December. The PDK Emerging Leaders will gather in Washington, D.C., meet with federal education policymakers, and share best practices with each other.
The PDK Emerging Leaders program recognizes innovators, thought leaders, problem solvers, and change agents age 40 or younger for the work that they are doing to improve education.
PDK International is an association that represents nearly 30,000 professionals in K-12 education across the country. Every year, it recognizes a new class of PDK Emerging Leaders. For more information on PDK’s 2013-2014 Class of Emerging Leaders, go to www.pdkemergingleaders.org
