Coronavirus Update 1-5-21, The Coronavirus Planning Team

University Briefings & Virtual Events

The country is currently experiencing increases in COVID-19 cases in most states, including a new strain that seems to spread even more easily than the previous one. Because of that, we have strengthened our protocols regarding quarantining and testing for the beginning of the semester. We are doing that to maximize our chances of starting the semester healthy until the arrival of warmer weather and the increased availability of the vaccine.

Aerial Lidar Processing To Prevent Wildfires, Keegan Flahive

Experiential Learning Projects

This project looks at the use of Aerial LIDAR data to prevent wildfires. Aerial LIDAR can be captured by a drone or airplane and is much more efficient then using ground crews. Using LIDAR forest floors are exposed and through processing using GIS software large areas can be mapped and have proper analysis conducted on them.

Quality Of Online Learning Participation In A Context Of Crisis, Jorge Chávez, Rosa Barrera, Rosa Montaño, Jaime Sánchez, Jaime Fauré

Higher Learning Research Communications

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced educational institutions to adopt online tools in order to conduct emergency remote teaching and make efficient use of virtual learning contexts. However, although these contexts may serve to improve teaching processes, a number of issues must be taken into consideration in order to ensure quality student learning. We analyze a computer programming module taught during the first year of a Computer Science degree course at a Chilean university. The module is taught online using a Learning Management System (LMS). We discuss the type of participation required in order to achieve the construction of more complex …

Perceptions Of Family Engagement Between African American Families And Schools: A Review Of Literature, Salandra Grice

Journal of Multicultural Affairs

The purpose of this review of parental involvement scholarship was to examine epistemologies and existent research pertaining to family engagement in the African American community. Particular attention is paid to the discrepancies between how African American families typically engage versus what teachers have been socialized to recognize and value as engagement. These discrepancies are evaluated and solutions to rectify this disconnect are discussed. Searches of major electronic databases were used yielding over a thousand results, yet only 20 pieces of literature proved substantive due to their specific focus on how African American families show involvement in their child’s education. Findings …

Examining The Children’S Defense Fund Freedom Schools Model On Middle School Students’ Reading Achievement, Lakia M. Scott, Rachel Renbarger, Yasmin Laird

Journal of Multicultural Affairs

In effort to curb summer learning loss, the Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools program identifies as a six-week summer literacy program for students in grades K-12. This study explored the impact of the Freedom School program on 128 middle school students’ reading achievement using Johns (2005) Basic Reading Inventory. Findings support the program’s effectiveness in increasing students’ reading outcomes, as demonstrated in the existent literature, but unlike other studies, data provided for both independent and instructional levels across three fluency indicators. In recognition of heightened state of summer learning loss for students with lack of access to quality enrichment summer …

Problemic Methods Of Learning Uzbek Literature In English In American Audiences, Shaxlo Djamaldinova

Central Asian Journal of Education

Problem and purpose: The article highlights the problems associated with the problematic method of teaching Uzbek literature as an integral part of the Uzbek language lessons in groups with English-speaking instruction in the USA (on the example of Indiana University) and in groups with Russian-speaking instruction in Uzbekistan; causes of occurrence and ways to resolve them. Methodology: The research is carried out on the basis of problem-based teaching methods (problem-based discussion, didactic analysis). The article examines educational materials confirming our activities, the theme of which is "Uzbek lullaby" (one of several lullabies presented in the electronic textbook) presented as an …

“Everyone Off The Ship”: Children Becoming Civic Minded In A Summer Literacy Program, Janet Isbell, Amber Spears, Cassie Schmitt-Matzen, Lindsey Braisted

Journal of Multicultural Affairs

Increased emphasis in recent years on reading and/or math achievement have sidelined social studies teaching in elementary education (Boyle-Baise, Hsu, Johnson, Serriere, & Stewart, 2012; Heafner & Fitchett, 2012; McMurrer, 2007; Shapiro & Brown, 2018). When teachers do address civics education, instruction typically sets up students for future citizenship duties, with a focus on rules and laws (Moyer, 1981; Swalwell & Payne, 2019). This traditional banking model of schooling (Freire, 1970/2009) makes children the receivers of knowledge and overlooks what they can do already (Swalwell & Payne, 2019). Efforts are needed to rethink “civics education as an emancipatory experience in …

An Overview Of Virtual Communities Of Faculty Practice, Narjis Hyder, Amy Adcock, David Brown

Journal of Educational Research and Practice

Virtual communities of faculty practice (CoP) provide support for and supplement the demanding doctoral curriculum with the purpose of assisting doctoral students through a holistic support system. This virtual community provides a positive private environment where faculty engage, share, and discuss current research questions or issues to encourage scholarship and collegiality. This scholarly essay presents an overview of faculty virtual CoPs in the context of mentoring online doctoral students. Attention is given to the definition of communities of practice, Wenger’s communities of practice model, producing and sustaining communities of practice, and incorporation of virtual CoPs at the doctoral level.

Animal-Assisted Interventions: Relationship Between Standards And Qualifications, Greta Kerulo, Niko Kargas, Daniel S. Mills, Graham Law, Rise Vanfleet, Tracie Faa-Thompson, Melissa Y. Winkle

People and Animals: The International Journal of Research and Practice

Ethical practice of animal- assisted interventions (AAI) requires appropriate qualifications and experience for all parties involved. Recently introduced and updated Standards of Practice emphasize the importance of AAI- specific training and qualification for different types of AAI, which should only be delivered within the scope of one’s professional competence. The purpose of this study was (1) to explore how a self- selected group of practitioners delivering AAI describe their work in relation to recent attempts to develop a terminological consensus (IAHAIO, 2014, 2018), and (2) to describe how AAI best practice recommendations (AAII, 2018) are implemented into professional practice among …

Teachers’ Unions, Collective Bargaining, And The Response To Covid-19, Annie A. Hemphill, Bradley D. Marianno

Educational Psychology, Leadership, and Higher Education Faculty Research

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, school districts worked quickly to roll out distance learning plans in the spring. Sometimes these plans impinged upon or were directly in conflict with provisions found in collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) negotiated between teachers' unions and district administration. In this brief, we unpack how urban school systems changed CBAs to make way for learning under COVID-19 conditions. We review COVID-19–related contract changes in 101 urban school districts around the country. We find that twenty-five urban school districts returned to the bargaining table with teachers’ unions to negotiate short-term fixes to CBAs that allowed for …
