Improving Equity Through Master Scheduling, Allison Degregory, Craig Sommer

Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios

A real and measurable gap exists in our country, and our educational system has served to increase this gap. Our system has failed to provide equitable access to advanced coursework for Black and Hispanic students. Implementing a deliberate and strategic system for scheduling high school students will provide historically underrepresented student groups equitable access to college credit and college-level courses. Quantitative research will determine how such an approach impacts high school students at an urban district in the southeastern United States when principals, and principal supervisors, create systems to schedule students equitably.

Clear and present gaps exist in the rate …

Impact Of Trauma‑Informed Training And Mindfulness‑Based Social–Emotional Learning Program On Teacher Attitudes And Burnout: A Mixed‑Methods Study, Sue Kim, Claire Crooks, Karen Bax, Mostafa Shokoohi

Education Publications

A trauma-informed approach can give teachers the strategies they need to help children affected by trauma reach their full potential in the classroom. Mindfulness-based social–emotional learning (SEL) programs equip teachers with essential tools to create a trauma-informed classroom, which in turn helps alleviate stress associated with supporting trauma-impacted children. Because existing research on SEL programs has predominantly focused on student well-being, there is a paucity of research examining teacher outcomes and the integration of a trauma-informed framework. The purpose of the study was to investigate the benefits of trauma-informed training and MindUP delivery on educator attitudes and burnout. Intervention educators …

Global Learning Academy: A New Model, Kelly Trail, Zoe Krzywda, Erin Gahimer, Tom Morgan, Sam Ortiz

Learning Teaching Forum

The Global Learning Academy is an innovative global and intercultural learning program that combines online courses with a two-week theme-based field experience at key international, U.S., and local/virtual locations. Much like higher education in general, education abroad and international education were turned upside down with the pandemic. In response, we have developed a creative new model that will allow us to meet some of our long-standing priorities around access for a changing student population; interdisciplinary learning on critical global themes; integration with existing academic programs; and flexibility and adaptability in uncertain times. We will share plans for this new model, …

Exploring Vocation In Uncertain Times: Finding Meaning In A World Of Ambiguity, Adrienne Ausdenmoore

Learning Teaching Forum

2020 has been a year of disruption. We have all faced new challenges in our lives and careers that are enough to make us question our priorities and sense of purpose, and the future presents many unknowns. How can we use this time as an opportunity to revisit our own vocational journey? And when students look to us for guidance, are we willing to admit that we don’t have it all figured out? Join this interactive session to explore the ways we teach and learn with our students to be adaptable and resilient in an ever-changing world.

Coronavirus Update 1-8-21, The Coronavirus Planning Team

University Briefings & Virtual Events

It has been a long haul since March, but we now know how critical it is not to socialize in groups—big or small—especially without masks and social distancing. The Pioneer Promise will continue to be a critical tool—one we hope you have been using while at home. That said, we can now look down the road and see a light as more and more people receive the vaccine. Now is not the time to let down our guard. The vaccine is here, but the virus also is more prevalent everywhere than at any other time.

Remote Community Engagement In The Time Of Covid-19, A Surging Racial Justice Movement, Wildfires, And An Election Year, Merith Weisman

Higher Learning Research Communications

Due to wildfires in fall of 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic in spring of 2020, Sonoma State University lost 50 service-learning courses, and as a result, almost 900 fewer students completed a service-learning course than the previous year. During the summer of 2020, the Center for Community Engagement began developing service-learning projects that were designed to be done remotely and address either COVID-19 or engage students with involvement in the fall 2020 election. Later, opportunities to address racial injustice and the wildfires were integrated. The opportunities described require active participation but remotely within the community; however, it is possible that …

Censorship Concerns In College Media: A Multiple Case Study Analysis On The Silencing Of Student Journalists, Haley Nicole Matlock

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

The aim of this qualitative study was to conduct a multiple case study that provides an analysis of censorship concerns at campus newspapers affiliated with public, four-year universities. Eighteen individuals from seven institutions participated in interviews. Interviewees consisted of former and current student journalists and advisers who worked at university publications where allegations of censorship have occurred within the last decade. The Student Press Law Center routinely investigates claims of censorship and provides pro bono legal counsel to student journalists (Zagier, 2011). While courts commonly sided with students in disagreements regarding free speech, Hazelwood v Kuhlmeier (1988) scaled back freedoms …

This dissertation includes an assessment of their readiness to handle LGBTQ issues in school sites and an evaluation of book clubs and reading LGBTQ young adult literature as a method of professional development for educators. In doing so, this dissertation draws on reader responses as per …
