Authenticating our Students' Work

Abstract

When I was thinking about the idea for this special issue of The Morning Watch, a number of things were percolating in my mind.  First, I had just transitioned from the K-12 public school system into the Faculty of Education and was searching for ways to contribute.  Second, I was also looking for ways to continue my work in student engagement –albeit, now to a much different audience.  And finally, I was in the middle of finishing some graduate work of my own.  Having guest editing a past issue of The Morning Watch, I thought that this could be an avenue to consolidate my converging thoughts into a workable project.  So, from these three simple streams of thought came the idea to develop a special issue of The Morning Watch that would focus on the work of our graduate students.
