Krista Glazewski, executive director of the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation and associate dean in the NC State College of Education, has received one of educational research's most prestigious distinctions. She has been named a 2026 Fellow by the American Educational Research Association (AERA), an honor recognizing scholars for their exceptional contributions to advancing education through research.
The AERA Fellows Program honors researchers with notable and sustained research achievements, selecting individuals who have made significant scholarly contributions. Fellowship is a mark of outstanding accomplishment and a commitment to the field. Glazewski’s work, which focuses on problem-based learning and educational innovation in STEM fields, exemplifies the impactful scholarship the association seeks to recognize.
Her selection underscores the national impact of research conducted at the Friday Institute and the College of Education. Colleagues cite her leadership in translational research, which bridges the gap between academic study and practical application in classrooms, as particularly influential. This fellowship places her among an elite group of scholars dedicated to understanding and improving educational processes and outcomes for all learners. The formal induction of the 2026 AERA Fellows will take place at the association's annual meeting next year.
