Congratulations to William (Bill) Penuel, ICS Fellow and Professor of Learning Sciences and Human Development at CU's School of Education.
The International Society of the Learning Sciences (ISLS) announced the creation of the Fellows program in 2017, a years-long effort by the Awards committee.
According to the ISLS, "The ISLS Fellows program recognizes those who have made major contributions to the field of the Learning Sciences since its inception nearly three decades ago. These individuals are each highly accomplished scholars and community members who will continue to serve in critical roles for the society in the future through their continued leadership and mentorship activities... New fellows are named in subsequent years through a selection committee consisting of existing ISLS fellows."
As ICS director Tamara Sumner stated: "This is a huge honor and wonderful recognition of the depth and breadth of Bill's research contributions to learning sciences."
