2022 Winner
The 2022 winner of the Research to Practice award is Gillian Judson, Ph.D. Over the past15 years, Dr. Judson’s scholarship has involved the development of Imaginative Ecological Education (IEE), an educational theory related to K-12 students’ ecological understandings that provides the basis for a pedagogical approach to ecological education that teachers can use local contexts. Through her scholarship, conference presentations, free professional development offerings (through podcasts, webinars, and Facebook), Dr. Judson has elaborated a theory-rich practice and introduced it to thousands of educators worldwide. Her work is transforming the teaching of ecological education and illustrates a powerful example of marshalling research for practical use—in this case, the transformation of teaching and learning.
