About the Alpha Beta Epsilon Chapter:

In fall 2003 a number of local educators worked together to charter a chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, International Honor Society for Education and Allied Professions. The Alpha Beta Epsilon membership includes AU professors, Education students (undergraduate and graduate), area K-12 teachers and school administrators. The chapter supports literacy projects and has collected several hundred children’s books for donations to area schools.

Please visit the KDP web site at www.kdp.org for a detailed explanation of the Society’s goals and mission. For members, there are thousands of dollars of awards available to undergraduate and graduate students each year, and small grants for classroom teachers.

National level membership includes such noteworthy individuals as John Goodlad, Nel Noddings, Linda Darling-Hammond, Michael Fullan, Deborah Meier, and Alfie Kohn. John Dewey was a member.
