At the Sept. 8 opening convocation of Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, the dean presented Stephen Schroth (Ph.D. ‘07 Ed Psych) with the Philip Green Wright/Lombard College Prize for distinguished teaching.
Schroth, assistant professor of educational studies, was one of three non-tenured faculty members to receive the award. He also co-directs Knox College for Kids, an enrichment program for local gifted, high achieving, and talented students who will be entering grades 1 through 9.
Earlier in the summer Schroth’s research with Jason Helfer, “Identifying Gifted Students: Educators’ Beliefs Regarding Various Policies, Processes, and Procedures,” won a 2009-2010 Award for Excellence in Research, sponsored by Mensa International, Ltd., and the Mensa Education and Research Foundation. Their award-winning article was published in the Journal for the Education of the Gifted.
