The GeT News editorial team is excited to share the latest news and developments from our vibrant GeT community. This issue highlights the continued thoughtful work being done to deepen geometry instruction for future teachers.  We feature two articles drawn from the forthcoming GeT Support book: a description of a GeT course built around Euclid’s Elements, and an essay encouraging GeT instructors to identify and develop “micro-practices” through a cycle of inquiry with their students. We also include updates from our working groups and an interview with long-time GeT community member Henry Escuadro.

As another academic year winds down, it has become impossible to ignore the current challenges facing higher education. I have just completed my 29th year as a university faculty member, and while I sometimes still feel like a rookie instructor, the gray hair identifies my senior status.  During my years as a teacher, I’ve observed up and down cycles in the fortunes of academia, but I’ve never seen anything like the headwinds we currently face.  In the last two years at my own institution, I’ve witnessed ongoing enrollment and retention struggles, program and staff cuts, the continued loss of public support (both financial and otherwise), student engagement and mental health difficulties, and vocal attacks by politicians.  During these challenging times, the GeT community continues to be a source of strength and inspiration.   Whether you’re a “senior” like me or new to the GeT community, here you will find a group of committed and supportive educators working together to effect positive change.  And whether you’re exploring ways to model geometric reasoning, revisiting classical foundations, or refining your own pedagogical practices, we hope the reflections and resources in this issue offer you both insight and inspiration.
