Milner presented AACTE Outstanding Book Award

The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education presented its 2012 Outstanding Book Award in February to H. Richard Milner IV, associate professor of education and a founding director of the Learning, Diversity and Urban Studies graduate program in the Department of Teaching and Learning, for Start Where You Are, But Don’t Stay There: Understanding Diversity, Opportunity Gaps, and Teaching in Today’s Classrooms at its annual meeting in Chicago.

“Rich Milner is an outstanding scholar whose latest work demands that we think differently about long-standing educational inequities,” said Dean Benbow. “We at Vanderbilt are proud that AACTE has recognized his provocative and inspiring book with this well-deserved award.”

The AACTE Outstanding Book Award recognizes exemplary books that make a significant contribution to the knowledge base of teacher education or of teaching and learning with implications for teacher education.
