Dr. Pratt, along with John B. Collins, an Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Educuation, won the prestigious award for their research “The Teaching Perspectives Inventory at 10 Years and 100,000 Respondents: Reliability and Validity of a Teacher Self-Report Inventory,” published in Adult Education Quarterly, November 2011.
