This practical, hands-on, one-day workshop from the Center for Multilingual-Learner Education, Research, and Innovative Teaching introduces preK-12 educators to the language “functions” embedded in disciplinary content standards.
The interactive session moves beyond vocabulary lists and offers educators the opportunity to identify what key language uses (e.g. inform, narrate, explain, argue) are embedded in the content standards and what associated language functions and features the standards ask students master to demonstrate their conceptual understanding of content.
Mary Frances Early was recently inducted into the Athens Music Walk of Fame for 2026 in honor of her lasting impact on music education and the Athens community.
The Athens Music Walk of Fame recognizes artists who have contributed to Athens’ musical legacy, making the city a destination for music fans. Visitors can view Early’s plaque on College Avenue near Clayton Street.
“I was thrilled to learn that I had been chosen as a recipient of the Athens Music Walk of Fame,” said Early, who was inducted alongside Elite tha Showstoppa, Hugh Hodgson, The Jesters, and Wuxtry Records. “I am certainly aware of the many outstanding bands and musical artists who have received this award, but I never dreamed that a music educator like me could be so honored.”
Michele Lease, a professor in the Department of Educational Psychology, was quoted in a Futurity article about recent research into elementary school children who prefer being alone.
The researchers said that it’s important to remind children who prefer to play alone that they can socialize with peers, but to not force them into socializing when they don’t want to.
“There are things we do because we know what’s good for us,” said Lease, who co-authored the study. “We go exercise. We eat our vegetables. We know it’s important. We might not want to do it, but we do it because it’s good for us. Social interaction is the same way. Turning down invitations, like avoiding exercise, leads to poorer outcomes.”
