Web Resources for Teaching Women's History Month

This PowerPoint preserves the presentation at CORE Academy, 2015. All links have been updated to 2023 addresses, or, in a few cases, de-linked. While there is much to add with regard to more recent developments in the teaching of women's history and web resources, this presentation preserves some of the teaching approaches and particular specialties of my decades of teaching, primarily through Women's Literature classes, but also in specialties that stressed online supplements to textbooks and the expanding canon in American and English Literature.

Eportfolio Of Haley Galvis, Haley Galvis

High Impact Practices Student Showcase Fall 2023

This ePortfolio is aimed to help me be set apart from other applicants when pursuing my path following graduation. This unique method of showcasing my undergraduate experiences helps to generate a more personal view. Through this course, I made an elevator pitch, which can be found in the "about" page. Additionally, I learned a lot about time management, while balancing this major project with the other responsibilities of this course and my other commitments. Further, I learned how important it is to reflect on an experience and connect what I learned to how I can apply it in the future.

Eyecare Practitioner Reluctance To Fit Children With Contact Lenses, Claire E. Mcdonnell

Conference Papers

Purpose: Myopia control strategies in the form of contact lenses and spectacles have been commercially available to eyecare practitioners in the Republic of Ireland (RoI) since 2017 and 2021 respectively. The aim of this research was to determine the level of adoption of these strategies among independent eyecare practitioners in the RoI.

A Negotiated Curriculum: Giving Students Choice And Voice, Brenda Thomas

SoTL Commons Conference

Implementing a negotiated curriculum entails sharing power with students by giving them the autonomy to make decisions of varying degrees about curriculum and pedagogical practices. It is a relational pedagogy that increases student agency and engagement, enhances inclusion and belonging, and models democratic dialogue. Teaching with students as partners rather than to students as objects holds transformational power for instructors as well as students. This session will explore the results of a 3-year research project that examined students’ engagement in learning during their participation in a negotiated curriculum. Session participants will hear how one faculty member implements this approach, reflect …

Relational Employability Stages Of Development, Elizabeth J. Cook

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

The Relational employability stages of development aim to enhance individuals’ employability in a relational world. These stages – Recognition, Networks, Translation and Review – provide a pathway for individuals to cultivate relational awareness, engagement, promotion and reflection in the context of careers. When integrated with the Relational employability teaching-learning framework (Cook, 2023), these stages of development engage individuals in critical self-reflection, evaluation and career planning to advance their relational career development. This integrated approach empowers individuals to thrive and make meaningful contributions, extending employability beyond skills and outcomes to embrace meaningful connections and contributions with others (including more-than-human others). Applicable …

Review Of Diagnosis & Management Of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, Veronica Woods

Capstone Showcase

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative condition that is associated with a history of repetitive head trauma. This condition cannot be diagnosed until after the patient is deceased, leading to challenges for clinicians in identifying and managing patients presenting with CTE features. By identifying patients at risk for CTE and the presence of associated symptoms, clinicians can intervene as early as possible to prevent the progression of the disease and manage patient’s symptoms to ensure better quality of life. There is no definitive treatment for CTE, but guidelines have been established to help mitigate that potentially life altering symptoms …

Ib And Special Education: An Italian Case Study, Marita Miller

International Professional Development Partnerships (IPDP) Consortium

During the spring of 2023 semester I had the opportunity to travel with Dr. Renzoni and IPBS to Italy where I completed my student teaching. The program encourages teacher candidates to enhance their teaching experience through not only a different culture but in an Inquiry Based school. This study will examine the differences and similarities of American and Italian IB special education. Specifically, what techniques, strategies, and politics of special education are present in an Italian international IB school. What can learn from this different approach to education and what aspects we can iterate into the American classroom.

Volunteering At An Elementary School, Kaila R. Sobol

High Impact Practices Student Showcase Fall 2023

For this service learning project, I chose to volunteer at Timbercrest Elementary School, my community partner, in Deltona, Florida. Before selecting my service project, I did research regarding parts of my community that needed volunteers to help out. I discovered an article by SF Ed Fund named "5 Reasons to Volunteer in a School" which focused on how "underfunded and understaffed" public schools are. I volunteered approximately eight hours a week at Timbercrest, moving between different classrooms and helping out multiple teachers. While volunteering there, I administered and graded tests, inputed grades, worked with students in small groups, and lead …

Feminist Retellings Of Homer's The Odyssey, 2005-2022, Brenna R. Bretzinger

CURE Proceedings

Over the past two decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of feminist retellings of Greek mythology. These retellings serve to give voice to the marginalized female characters from ancient stories whose characterizations were deprioritized over their male counterparts. Furthermore, these stories connect the plights of ancient women with modern feminists to champion issues that women continue facing today. This study focuses on retellings of Homer’s The Odyssey, but these ideas and arguments are still largely applicable to other retellings of Greek mythology. Along with discussing The Odyssey, this project also analyzes three feminist retellings: …

Weather, Climate, and Society REU

Hurricane Ian made landfall on the western coast of Florida near Cayo Costa on Wednesday, September 28, 2022. Amounting to 148 deaths, it became one of the deadliest hurricanes to hit the state. The primary focus of this study is to better understand the major concern among residents to prepare for future hurricanes seasons - by determining the primary concern factor that influences members of an at-risk community to leave their residence.

Fema Home Inspection Percentages During Hurricane Ian: Examining Racial Correlations By Zip Codes, Abby Schueler, Alex Pickus, Beverley Ward, Robin Ersing

Weather, Climate, and Society REU

Hurricane Ian was a category 4 hurricane that made landfall in Lee County, Florida on September 28th, 2022. The Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) is responsible for helping affected communities after catastrophic disasters such as Ian. During the FEMA aid application process, survivors are asked to indicate the level of damages.(PERSON). In order to receive disaster assistance, FEMA must verify your disaster-caused damage through an onsite or remote inspection (FEMA). However, if a home is deemed still habitable by the applicant, FEMA will not conduct an inspection until the resident can prove something has changed. This is a problematic process …

Considerations In The Management Of Juvenile Absence Epilepsy In Pregnancy And In Females Of Childbearing Age, Casey Brew

Capstone Showcase

JAE is an epilepsy syndrome that typically requires lifelong AED treatment, and valproic acid or lamotrigine is considered first line to manage the spectrum of associated seizures. In females with JAE who become pregnant, there exist risks both from having uncontrolled seizures and from taking AEDs during the pregnancy. Valproic acid carries the highest risks to the fetus but is the most effective in controlling the seizure types seen with JAE. Folic acid supplementation has shown to mitigate some but not all of the fetal risks from valproic acid. Limited guidance from professional organizations exists for management of females of …
