The Faculty of Education's Centre for Research on Teacher Education and Development (CRTED) has been a leading research centre, both nationally and internationally, since its inception in 1991.

The Myer Horowitz Endowment Fund has been established to honour President Emeritus Dr. Myer Horowitz, who was instrumental in the creation of the Centre. Dr. Horowitz is a leading figure in Canadian teacher education and with his guidance the University of Alberta has become a leader in research in teacher education. This endowment fund will support the work of the Centre on an ongoing basis and will foster new initiatives in research in teacher education, particularly research in pre-service teacher education. The Horowitz Endowment Fund is an investment in the future of teacher education and the future of our children, grandchildren and their children.

Funding priorities within the Myer Horowitz Endowment Fund include:

• A general fund for CRTED initiatives
• The Horowitz Teacher Education Research Scholar
• The CRTED Outstanding Dissertation Award
• A doctoral scholarship
