Regis University must make changes to how it trains future teachers on reading instruction before state officials consider a full reauthorization of its elementary education and special education programs.
The decision, approved in a 5-1 vote by the State Board of Education on Thursday, granted the Denver-based university conditional approval for the two majors, which together enroll around 200 students. The state will conduct follow-up reviews of those two programs next fall to determine if they met the required conditions. The remaining 13 majors within the university’s teacher prep program won full approval.
In the state’s reauthorization report on Regis, reviewers praised the university’s teacher prep program for having recently made improvements to some reading courses, but said some classes still have shortcomings. These include the use of textbooks that don’t align with the science of reading and too little coverage of current reading mandat

The NFL regular season is over and we’re heading to the Division Championship weekend of the playoffs, but the Washington Redskins have still not chosen a new name and are still going by the name Washington Football Team. It’s worth mentioning that the Kansas City Chiefs are probably going to win the Super Bowl again this year and they should start thinking of new team names as soon as they do.
Even though Washington hasn’t gone by the name Redskins all season, people aren’t going to move on until they do, and a burgundy and gold Caucasians t-shirt going viral this week proves that.
FORT COLLINS Fort Collins native Ann Hutchison considers herself to be in “a pretty special spot” as the future advocate for the members and larger community of the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce.
