A volume in Research in Curriculum and Instruction Series Editor:
O. L. Davis, Jr. The University of Texas at Austin Kappa Delta Pi
is an international honor society in Education founded in 1911.
This book chronicles the leadership of Kappa Delta Pi across the
past century through a collection of short life stories about the
32 individuals who were elected by members to lead the Society.
Through their work with their fellow officers, they helped keep
alive the flame that called attention to the importance of highly
qualified teachers in American schools, in the main, teachers whose
academic credentials were very strong. These life stories attend to
KDP presidents' contributions to education, particularly with
emphasis a) on high academic scholarship for educational
professionals, e.g., teacher candidates, teachers at all levels,
school administrators, college and university faculty members in
education and in fields related to educational practice and
knowledge; b) toward teacher candidates' mindful learning in and
the integration of liberal arts, education, and other fields of
study; c) and in the support and fostering of scholarly endeavors,
especially substantive research and creative developments in the
educational processes of schooling - all or many related to the
individual's involvement in Kappa Delta Pi. A number of elements of
Kappa Delta Pi's purposes and practices during its first century
are illuminated in this book. Many others remain obscured,
neglected, or unknown. Readers reasonably may discover keys to
increased understanding and wonderment as they read and think about
the lives of these former presidents, particularly about their
contributions to the continuance and strengthening of the Society.
One impressive key surely is evident. Their presidencies not only
helped Kappa Delta Pi to continue to exist. They also fostered the
fruitful creation of this honor society in education. And so also
will those members and leaders who, succeeding these former
presidents, enter confidently into Kappa Delta Pi's second century.
