2014 IMPACT 1

EDUCATION IS TRANSFORMATIVE With this issue of our 2014 IMPACT, we are proud to share new developments in the College of Education at the University of Illinois. The preparation of educators is one of the most significant contributions we make to society. With that in mind, we have redesigned our teacher education program so that it is central to our College and draws on the best faculty across each department. We are pleased to announce the launch of I-Teach I-Lead, a program that emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and cultural understanding, and at its core recognizes that new technology is changing the way we engage with learning and create knowledge. Producing knowledgeable, compassionate, resilient educators is the goal of our professional teacher preparation program. Concurrently, we have also created a new undergraduate degree for educators who are not seeking licensure but want to transform others in alternative settings in the U.S. and internationally. The College is delighted to welcome a new cadre of outstanding, collaborative, and tech-savvy faculty colleagues who are prepared to lead and engage in classrooms and online. We have always been proud of the fact that our practicum work is enhanced by professors who are themselves researchers, and these new instructors certainly fit that mold. This distinctive edge has produced many future teacher-leaders who graduate

In all we do, we endeavor to reinvent ourselves while maintaining our relevance in a world that continues to expect much from educators. We are ready to address the grand challenges of our time and hope that the stories highlighted in the 2014 IMPACT report convey our sense of creativity, optimism, impact, and enjoyment.

RESEARCH IS FOUNDATIONAL Our faculty and students engage in groundbreaking research that addresses critical issues. With the support of an enriching research culture and interdisciplinary collaboration, our faculty and students create knowledge and programs that impact society and communities around the world.

Faculty-Student Research Promotes Science and Math Literacy A research project headed by Dr. Michaelene Ostrosky and her doctoral students, Hyejin Park and Lori Erbrederis Meyer, implements math and science discussion guidelines into post-reading conversations between parents and children, through the use of colorful bookmarks that pose thought-provoking questions. “What I love about the Department of Special Education is that faculty members believe in creating opportunities for us to become better researchers, scholars, and teachers,” said Meyer.

It was a really nice progression from seeing them as learners in their roles as doctoral students and research assistants to then being instructors who presented applied projects, to pre-service teachers, and finally in the role of researchers and recipients of an internal grant. —Dr. Michaelene Ostrosky, Head, Special Education

Essential Research Practices Catherine Corr, Doctoral Student, Special Education Catherine Corr, a doctoral student in special education, received a 2014 Doris Duke Fellowship for the Promotion of Child Well-Being. Fellowships are awarded annually to 15 outstanding doctoral students in various disciplines, selected through a national competition. Corr is the first recipient in her field, and the first student at Illinois’ Urbana campus, to receive the honor. Her research during the fellowship will focus on the types of services that abused children with disabilities receive. “I feel like my work is a first step toward figuring out how we can better support these children and their families throughout the time of their service needs,” said Corr.

Data-Driven Exploration Morgan Schertz ’14 Elem.Ed. Though she never considered herself a “science person,” Morgan Schertz became an effective science teacher, thanks in part to a project-based program she worked on related to hydraulic fracturing issues in southern Illinois. Working with Professor Sheila Dean, the James Scholar researched fossil fuel usage, which led to the creation of an 11-day unit for local middle-grade students. She went on to co-create and launch a STEM sports program for middle-school students at the Illinois Math and Science Academy and was later hired as a math and science teacher. “Illinois provided the perfect opportunities for my professional development and opened up possibilities that I never thought were possible,” Schertz said.

Visionary Learning University Primary School is a pre-K through fifth grade lab school where children use The Project Approach to engage in creative, challenging, and meaningful curricular inquiries. The lab school has been recognized locally for its innovative practices and is committed to project-based learning and democratic community building. The school, which began as a research project more than 40 years ago, expanded to a joint fourth and fifth grade this academic year.

The Early Childhood and Parenting Collaborative (ECAP) Educating and raising young children. ECAP is home to numerous research, technical assistance, and service projects that focus on educating and raising young children. Professors, academic professionals, and research assistants pool their expertise to articulate, clarify, and enhance the cooperative relationships among these projects and strengthen their contributions to the state of Illinois and beyond. The Governor’s Office of Early Childhood and Development has turned again to ECAP to evaluate how best to expand early childhood and education (ECE) services to the most vulnerable children and families in Illinois, in response to the federal Early Learning Challenge. ECAP will evaluate how the innovative practices of seven communities improve the quality of its ECE services and increase enrollment of children least likely to be “ready for school.” Outcomes will inform policymakers about the most effective strategies for expanding services to promote school readiness and about barriers that hinder families’ access to services.

ECAP has established an international reputation for its websites, policy guides, data sets, and journal publications, many of which are available in Spanish, Polish, and most recently Chinese. The multidisciplinary staff provides resources, training, and guidance to support the critical first five years of child learning and development. —Susan Fowler, Professor and Director
