Washburn Education Department

Dr. Carolyn Carlson represented Washburn University and the other institutions of higher education in Kansas at the signing of HB 2485 by Governor Laura Kelly. This bill, known as the Blueprint for Literacy, supports teachers, students, and families through a statewide collaboration.

Dr. Michael Rettig was honored as Professor Emeritus at a reception for those retiring from Washburn University. Thanks Dr. Rettig for all you have done for us. We will miss you!

Congratulations to our hardworking, Spring 2026 student teachers! We celebrated their accomplishments on Tuesday, May 5. Mr. Carter described this group of new teachers as “smart.” They not only have high GPAs, but they are able to determine what their students need to be successful and modify the way the teach to meet their needs. We are excited for the bright futures of these teachers!

Topeka Collegiate brought elementary students to campus so our STEM Methods teacher candidates could teach them about earthquakes and volcanoes. We appreciate our ongoing partnership with Topeka Collegiate!
