What New Writing Teachers Talk About When They Talk About Teaching, Heidi Estrem, E. Shelley Reid
What New Writing Teachers Talk About When They Talk About Teaching, Heidi Estrem, E. Shelley Reid
Heidi Estrem
As a discipline with academic roots in pedagogy (Harris 1996), composition studies has fostered increasingly visible and structured programs to mentor new writing instructors. Several recent essay collections compile examples of programs, thoughtfully theorized approaches, and careful explorations of how to best support and nurture new instructors of first-year writing (see, for example, Pytlik and Liggett 2002; Ward and Perry 2002). It is now common that new college writing teaching assistants (TAs) participate in at least one pedagogy seminar designed to guide them through their initial teaching experience and provide an introduction to composition studies (see Dobrin 2005). Additionally, individual …

Teaching is not just delivering lectures but anything we might do that helps and encourages students to learn.1
Envision your typical business law or legal environment of business classroom, filled with students. As class begins, most students are alert and attentive to the instructor. However, after class is under way, some students have diverted their attention elsewhere. A few are looking intently at their laptop screens, which contain material that may (or may not) be related to business law. Others are looking at their phones. While many are still listening to the instructor, a few might be whispering to …

Goal Setting And Rewards For Addressing Nonresponse To Empirical Intervention, Jeremy W. Ford
Goal Setting And Rewards For Addressing Nonresponse To Empirical Intervention, Jeremy W. Ford
Jeremy W. Ford
Reread-Adapt and Answer-Comprehend (RAAC) is an intervention targeting difficulties with reading fluency and comprehension. Previous research has demonstrated RAAC to be effective for students with and without disabilities. This study extended research using RAAC by using goal setting and rewards. Participants will learn how to use these strategies to implement less intrusive changes for when a student does not respond to an empirically-based intervention prior to more intrusive changes (e.g., duration, frequency, different intervention).

Cbms And Postsecondary Students With Developmental Disabilities: Examining Technical Adequacy, John L. Hosp, Jeremy W. Ford, Kiersten Hensley, Sally M. Huddle
Jeremy W. Ford
For students with developmental disabilities (DD), postsecondary education opportunities are increasing and they require focused academic skill instruction. Tools for progress monitoring (e.g., Curriculum-Based Measurement; CBM) are needed however, research with CBM and students with DD is limited. Participants will be able to evaluate the technical adequacy of these instruments.
Barriers To Behavior-Based And Outcome-Based Evaluations Of Workplace Training, Perri Kennedy, Seung Youn Chyung
Barriers To Behavior-Based And Outcome-Based Evaluations Of Workplace Training, Perri Kennedy, Seung Youn Chyung
Seung Youn (Yonnie) Chyung
Most workplace learning professionals understand the need to evaluate the training interventions they develop for their organizations. A behavior-based evaluation examines the merit of the training and its relevance to organizational outputs, while a results-based evaluation measures actual outcomes against iexpected benefits. In short, did the training intervention meet its objectives, and did it have the desired impact on workplace performance? In this era of shrinking budgets, it's critical for learning departments to prove their value to their organizations. However, surveys reveal that only about half of workforce training interventions are evaluated on the on-the-job behaviors they generate, and even …

This study examines the practices utilized by TFA from its inception in 1990 to create its brand and how these practices have transformed TFA into a cultural icon within the national landscape of teacher education. Well-funded through both philanthropic foundations, corporate sponsorships, and federal monies, TFA’s use of its organizational and political networks, as well as the media, has enabled it to position itself discursively as a leader in the preparation of teachers in the U.S, resulting not only in transforming state and national discussions about teacher preparation, but in establishing a network of elites with a particular ideology of …

Keynote Speaker - Simulation, Stimulation And Silence: Learning Online And Off, Norman Friesen
Norman Friesen
Almost 20 years after the popular adoption of the Internet, we are still finding out about the nature of online places and spaces. Whether these locations are used for interpersonal communication or naturalistic simulation, they offer characteristics which may be ideally suited to some types of pedagogical activities and less appropriate for others. This often depends on a deeper understanding of the nature of these activities and experiences. In this presentation Norm Friesen of Boise State University will undertake a careful examination of a couple of practical examples. He will use these examples explore the nature of both pedagogy and …

From Oer To Plar: Credentialing For Open Education, Norman Friesen, Christine Wihak
Norman Friesen
Recent developments in OER and MOOCs (Open Educational Resources and Massive Open Online Courses) have raised questions as to how learners engaging with these courses and components might be assessed or credentialed. This descriptive and exploratory paper examines PLAR (Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition) as a possible answer to these questions. It highlights three possible connections between PLAR and open education which hold the greatest promise for credentialing open learning experiences: 1) PLAR may be used to assess and credential open educational activities through the use of exam banks such as CLEP (College Level Examination Program); 2) Learning occurring in …

Online Education: A Science And Technology Studies Perspective / Éducation En Ligne: Perspective Des Études En Science Et Technologie, Edward C. Hamilton, Norm Friesen
Norman Friesen
This paper argues that research into the pedagogical value and potential of new technologies is limited by the implicit philosophical perspectives on technology that such research adopts. These perspectives either imbue technologies with inalienable qualities (essentialism) or posit technology as a neutral means for realizing goals defined by their users (instrumentalism). Such approaches reflect the reigning common sense around the relation of technology and social practice, but they have also been resoundingly critiqued from within the philosophy, history and sociology of technology. It is our argument that the development of more nuanced philosophical perspectives on technology derived from contemporary technology …
Composing And Decomposing: Understanding The Complexities Of Writing Processes With Play-Doh And Other Visual Representations, Susan D. Martin, Sherry A. Dismuke
Composing And Decomposing: Understanding The Complexities Of Writing Processes With Play-Doh And Other Visual Representations, Susan D. Martin, Sherry A. Dismuke
Cheryle (Sherry) Dismuke
This activity engages teachers in decomposition (Grossman et al., 2009) of writing processes. Teachers develop knowledge of and engage in writing/composition processes of planning, drafting, revising, editing, and publication, while at the same time they are immersed in models and modeling of classroom practices. Opportunities for development of both conceptual understandings and instructional tools (Grossman et al, 2000) thus arise regarding complex writing processes important to writing instruction, as well as to experience practice-focused pedagogies (Ball & Forzani, 2009; Hatch & Grossman, 2009; Lampert, 2009) linked to future practice.

Intentional Web Presence: 10 Seo Strategies Every Academic Needs To Know, Joanna Dunlap, Patrick Lowenthal
Patrick R. Lowenthal
A little over a year ago The Chronicle of Higher Education published a piece titled "Creating Your Web Presence: A Primer for Academics." We were excited to see some of the strategies Miriam Posner recommended for academics wanting to create and maintain a web presence. We had been doing many of the things Posner recommended, as well as a number of others. Thus, in many ways this article builds on Posner's piece but argues that faculty should be taking even more steps to build, maintain, and ensure that others can find their presence on the web.

How Do Mathematicians Make Sense Of Definitions?, Laurie O. Cavey, Margaret T. Kinzel, Thomas A. Kinzel, Kathleen L. Rohrig, Sharon B. Walen
How Do Mathematicians Make Sense Of Definitions?, Laurie O. Cavey, Margaret T. Kinzel, Thomas A. Kinzel, Kathleen L. Rohrig, Sharon B. Walen
Laurie O. Cavey
It seems clear that students’ activity while working with definitions differs from that of mathematicians. The constructs of concept definition and concept image have served to support analyses of both mathematicians’ and students’ work with definitions (c.f. Edwards & Ward, 2004; Tall & Vinner, 1981). As part of an ongoing study, we chose to look closely at how mathematicians make sense of definitions in hopes of informing the ways in which we interpret students’ activity and support their understanding of definitions. We conducted interviews with mathematicians in an attempt to reveal their process when making sense of definitions. A striking …

Concurrent Validity Of Office Discipline Referrals And Cut Points Used In Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support, Kent Mcintosh, Amy L. Campbell, Deborah R. Carter, Bruno D. Zumbo
Deborah Russell Carter
Office discipline referrals (ODRs) are commonly used by school teams implementing school-wide positive behavior support to indicate individual student need for additional behavior support. However, little is known about the technical adequacy of ODRs when used in this manner. In this study, the authors assessed a) the concurrent validity of number of ODRs received with a contemporary standardized behavior rating scale (the BASC-2 Teacher Report Form), and b) the validity of common cut points to determine level of support needed (i.e., 0 to 1, 2 to 5, and 6 or more ODRs). Results indicated strong correlations between ODRs and rating …

Online Learning And Mentors: Addressing The Shortage Of Rural Special Educators Through Technology And Collaboration, Evelyn S. Johnson, Michael J. Humphrey, Keith W. Allred
Evelyn S. Johnson
This article describes a promising model in comprehensive special education personnel preparation to support the recruitment and retention of special education teachers in rural areas. The approach draws on several bodies of research to include best practices for teacher education, online service delivery, collaboration among key stakeholders, and the development of strong mentoring and induction programs. The implementation plan, based on evidence-based practice in special education and online learning, is presented. A key element of this plan is developing and maintaining strong relationships among rural districts, the state department of education, and higher education.
