Wenyu Guo, Ph.D., an assistant professor of Literacy Studies in the College of Education at
the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息, Tampa, has been selected as an awardee by the for 2024 - 2025. This prestigious award not only recognizes her scholarly excellence
but also provides a unique learning opportunity. As a part of this incredible honor,
Wenyu will work with experienced NCTE mentors and build a valuable nationwide professional
learning network.
This summer (July 12-14), she traveled to Washington, D.C., to attend the ECEOC Summer
Institute, where she joined her leadership scholar cohort led by Dr. Jeanine M. Staples-Dixon
from Pennsylvania State University alongside distinguished scholars and educators
from K-12 schools across the country. Together, they engaged in in-depth discussions
and immersive learning activities, fostering a sense of shared learning and growth.
During this time, Wenyu received valuable mentorship on her new research project.
This one-year community-engaged participatory action project will examine how elementary-aged
Asian American children, and their parents can learn and unlearn together in a community
space regarding issues of race and racism through an innovative curriculum. NCTE will
sponsor her to present her research at the 2025 NCTE Annual Convention.
Wenyu had the opportunity to meet NCTE President Rochelle Rodrigo and Executive Director
Emily Kirkpatrick, who shared insights about opportunities for early-career NCTE scholars,
leading innovative research, connecting with local K-12 educators, and how NCTE bridges
the gap between theory and practice. In addition, she had the privilege of engaging
in roundtable discussions with NCTE affiliate leaders, an honor that underscored her
respected position in the field.
This has been a fantastic journey for Dr. Guo, and she is excited to apply what she
has learned and to continue to grow as an educator and researcher at USF.
