Creative Teaching Strategies And Student Learning, Emma Moris, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
This research is conducted in the style of a synthesis, in which selected articles are analyzed to examine various methods of creative teaching and their implications on student learning. Often, teachers rely on textbooks and worksheets to deliver lessons; however, this technique neglects to meet the diverse learning needs of each student in the classroom. Creative teaching strategies, such as dance, creative movement, drama, and creative writing, are considered some of the innovative ways for students to be presented with content material. Research reveals that not only do students respond well to these teaching strategies, they are also more inclined …

Making Academic Language Accessible For English Language Learners, Frank Toland, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
One of the most troubling aspects of school for English Language Learners (ELLs) is academic language. Dicerbo, Anstrom, Baker and Rivera (2014) define academic language as "the language used in school to help students acquire and use knowledge" (452). As the academic rigor increases and content knowledge becomes more important than language development, ELL’s academic language falls further behind resulting in high dropout rates. The purpose of this research is to find ways in which teachers can help ELLs adjust to academic language. This literature review highlights ELL student backgrounds, the standards and assessments used for ELLs, teacher and ELL …

One-To-One Computers In The Classroom: One Size Fits All?, Anna Oliveri, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Students today are considered to be “Digital Natives,” as they are growing up in a technologically rich environment (Prensky, 2010). However, not all children have equal access to technology in and out of the classroom, thus creating the potential for pervasive inequality. This study investigates the role of one-to-one computing implementation in students’ learning experiences and equity and autonomy for students from low-income homes. Four sources of data were collected from twenty-six fifth grade students from primarily low-income homes: field notes, student work samples, student surveys and lesson plans. One-to-one computing enhanced engagement, collaboration, and autonomy and heightened students’ overall …

This paper explores the fate of Poland during and immediately after the Second World War. The paper examines the question of Western betrayal of Poland.
