State Schools Superintendent Tony Bennett was the focus of many of the questions during the September 22 annual School of Education Alumni Panel. Around 200 filled a ballroom at the IUPUI Campus Center in Indianapolis to hear a panel discuss the topic "Teacher Preparation: Who is Qualified to Teach Our Children?"

Dean Gerardo Gonzalez moderated the panel that included Bennett, Jonathan Plucker (Director, Center for Evaluation and Education Policy), Diana Lambdin (Martha Lea and Bill Armstrong Professor of Teacher Education and Professor of Mathematics Education), and Nicole Law (Curriculum Coordinator of ENL and Science, M.S.D. of Wayne Township).
