COLLEGE of EDUCATION
Year in R e v iew 2010 2011
Welcome
From the Dean
I am pleased to present our College’s 2010-2011 Annual Report. This time period
was full of changes and renewed aspirations to enhance the College and the field of education. With that in mind, as you flip through the pages of this publication, you will find a revamped style that presents the great accomplishments and hard work produced throughout the last year. One significant accomplishment was our College’s continued ranking among the nation’s best – placing 43rd on “U.S. News and World Report’s 2012 America’s Best Graduate Schools.” The ranking showcases our efforts in carrying the torch for education, educational studies and educational research. The creation of the Center for Higher Education Research, Teaching and Innovation (CHERTI) by President Emeritus T.K. Wetherell, the expansion of the Office of Research and the numerous grant awards allowed the College to find new and innovative approaches to educational research. The formation of the Blended and Online Learning and Teaching (BOLT) program and the redesign of the Morgan Instructional Systems Multi-Media Studio addressed the ever-present changes in technology and the learning experience. The esteemed faculty members who teach in the classrooms of the Mode L. Stone Building received significant and noteworthy accolades throughout the year. We said our goodbyes to known names of the College and welcomed new faces. I send sincere gratitude to our alumni, friends and donors for your consistent support. Your generosity provides scholarships, fellowships and program support that are needed in a time where budget cuts are in the spotlight. The donations and gifts mentioned in this report allow students to have continued success in the classroom and in their future endeavors. Thank you for taking the time to read through our annual report. I hope it allows you to discover all that is being achieved here at The Florida State University College of Education. All my best,
Marcy P. Driscoll, Ph.D. Dean, College of Education Leslie J. Briggs Professor of Educational Research

Select Partnerships and Initia FSU-Teach
Learning Systems Institute
Launched in 2007, FSU-Teach is administered jointly by the College of Education and the College of Arts and Sciences at Florida State. The program is modeled after UTeach, the highly successful program at the University of Texas at Austin. FSU-Teach is funded by one of only 12 grants awarded to U.S. colleges and universities by the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI) and the Helios Foundation. FSU-Teach scholars hail from disciplines including mathematics, biology, chemistry, geosciences and physics. Students graduate with two majors in four years, one in the content area and one in education. The unique nature of the program provides students with hands-on classroom experience within their first two semesters. Notably, FSU-Teach is one of the programs lauded by President Obama in recent remarks praising initiatives supported by the National Math and Science Initiative, Texas Instruments and the Dell Foundation that help prepare a new generation of math and science teachers.
Founded in 1969 by College of Education professor Robert M. Morgan, the Learning Systems Institute (LSI) is a multidisciplinary organization dedicated to bridging the gap between research and practice in education and training. The institute develops practical and workable solutions in learning and performance based on solid research. It is one of the largest contributors to contract and grant funding at Florida State. Since its inception, LSI has maintained a strong partnership with the College of Education. Currently, more than a dozen College of Education faculty members are associated with LSI and administer projects spanning a wide range of issues. In addition to research faculty, the College provides LSI with graduate students who serve in the vital role of research assistants. In October 2009, the College of Education and LSI celebrated the success of their alliance through a conference marking the 40th anniversary of LSI and commemorating the life and career of Morgan (1930-2009).

Providing Research Support Through Service:
The Office of Researc By Emily Hudson
As university budgets have tightened, the need to obtain external funds to support faculty research activities has become critical. In 2010, Dean Driscoll decided to revamp and expand the College’s Office of Research to meet this need. The office, which was previously a team of two overworked grant managers, grew into a six-person team with several graduate assistants almost overnight.
“The revamped Office of Research is committed to providing faculty with outstanding support in obtaining external funding and outstanding service in administering funded projects,” said Robert Reiser, Associate Dean for Research. “The Office is diligent and eager to see the faculty receive research funding to further their efforts to solve educational problems and improve the quality of instruction and learning.” Some of the major responsibilities of the Office of Research are to assist faculty with finding grant opportunities, find research partners, prepare grant proposals and to help faculty manage the grant once it is awarded. According to Reiser, preparing successful grant proposals is a difficult process. Proposals must be very well-written, persuasive and a detailed budget must be created. Funding agencies and the university have a wide variety of rules and procedures that must be followed and a plethora of forms and other documents must be prepared and submitted. These tasks can be daunting without adequate support. The same need for assistance holds true after a faculty member receives grant funding; managing the budget, hiring staff and processing travel and purchasing requests are among the many tasks that Office of Research staff manage for faculty.
Reiser hopes to see a rise in the number of grant proposals submitted and grants awarded over the next few years. His staff has put together some baseline data that provides a measure of all College of Education grant activity over the past five years. “We hope to see a boost in grant activity,” says Reiser. “We would like to see a substantial increase in the number of proposals and the number of awards. We would like to see the amount of award dollars increased too.” Consistent improvement in the quality of service the Office provides is another top priority. “This year one of my goals is to develop a close relationship with the faculty so that the faculty feel very secure when they come and talk to us,” says Russ Walker, OoR office administrator. “Our staff is eager to continue their work to support the faculty in obtaining funding for research activities that will improve the quality of instruction and learning for a wide variety of learners,” says Walker.
The Office of Research is committed to providing faculty with outstanding support in obtaining external funding and outstanding service in administering funded projects.

Investing in Education
State funding for higher education has been on the decline for the last several years, causing unfortunate but necessary increases in tuition across the country. Helping students offset expenses through scholarship support is a priority for the College of Education. Scholarships reward high achievement and enable deserving students with financial need to develop their gifts and experience careers and futures they might never have known. We extend our thanks to the more than 1,300 donors who gave over $3.1 million for fellowships, scholarships and other programmatic support in the 2010- 2011 year. The following page recognizes those who gave $500 or more, but our success reflects the culmination of all levels of support.
Financial Support for College of Education Students, 2010-2011: Percentage of COE students receiving non-scholarship financial assistance (loans and grants): 57% Percentage of COE students receiving need-based financial assistance: 51% Percentage of COE students receiving any combination of grants, scholarships or loans: 80%

College of Education S
Educational institutions in the world over function today in complex environments marked by changing social
and political expectations, rapid advancements in technology, an increasingly diverse constituency, economic instability and indistinct boundaries between local, national and international concerns. In such circumstances traditional modes of operation, while not without continuing value, are unlikely to offer adequate responses to such new challenges. To successfully navigate these new challenges and realize the opportunities they represent, we must have the courage to chart a clear course grounded in the best of our values and traditions, informed by a clear-eyed assessment of our circumstances, and oriented by our highest aspirations for the communities, students and professions we serve. It is in this spirit that we offer the following strategic plan for the Florida State University College of Education.

2010-2015 Draft Strategic Plan for the College of Education is the culmination of a year-long process of careful reflection and input from faculty, staff, and alumni. In early 2010, the department chairs, assistant and associate deans and Dean’s Management Team, under the direction of Dean Marcy Driscoll, drafted a set of goals and directives for the College. These objectives were then submitted to the faculty and staff for review and comment at the Fall 2010 All-College Meeting. In September 2010, Dean Driscoll formed the Strategic Planning Committee and charged it with the task of formulating a five-year strategic plan informed by faculty and staff comments on that preliminary draft. That Strategic Planning Committee, led by Diana Rice, comprised of 13 members of the faculty and staff, met regularly during the Fall and Spring semesters of the 2010-2011 academic year. The resulting set of goals, objectives and action plans coherently aligned with a revised statement of the mission, vision and values of the College of Education.
Faculty and staff comments were solicited in the form of a college-wide survey conducted in January. Input from alumni, retired faculty and staff and donors was also solicited in a workshop held February 2011. The completed document contains six goals, specific objectives within each goal and concrete action steps to be taken that will lead to achievement of the objectives. It represents the Committee’s best effort to reflect the collective wisdom of our colleagues, alumni and constituencies in responding to the Dean’s charge. This is expected to be a living document that will be reviewed annually, and should provide a useful framework for future action. The outcome of this strategic planning process has provided the College’s fundraising team, Faculty Advisory Board and Staff Advisory Board with input on areas the College should focus on in 2012 and beyond. The College is now making progress on developing a fundraising plan and developing implementation strategies for the strategic plan and President Barron’s Big Ideas. 39
Design Ideation Revealed:
Morgan Studio
The Transformation of the
By Emily Hudson
amed after Robert M. Morgan, a scholar known for founding the N Instructional Systems graduate program and for founding and directing
the Learning Systems Institute, the Morgan Instructional Systems MultiMedia Studio was established in 2009. The Studio was constructed to provide a versatile computer and media lab for Instructional Systems (IS) courses, teaching and learning, events, application opportunities and resources for specialization in digital production and dissemination. About a year after the Studio debuted, it became apparent that the advancements in technology had progressed to a degree that the Studio needed to be updated. Robert Reiser, Associate Dean for Research, led a team in search for a redesign of the space. Valerie Shute, Professor of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems, worked with Reiser and explains, “One big idea underlying our new Morgan Studio space is that learning is not simply individualized, but a highly social, context-dependent and collaborative endeavor.” Jim Dawkins, Assistant Professor in the Department of Interior Design, was selected to take the lead on the redesign. “The new design originated with the idea that the existing space be transformed into a studio that could meet a larger vision of accommodating new teaching and learning needs,” said Dawkins. Reiser and Shute provided Dawkins with an overview of their program,

how students interact with technology, specifically gaming technology, and how students were doing their work in a more social environment. From there, Dawkins did imagery research on similar spaces, took measurements and photos of the Morgan Studio and began sketching views of different space layouts dependent on the various functions accommodated by the space. “After refining the vision for the space, it was just a matter of ‘installing’ the idea via some selective demolition, paint, trim, and furnishings,” noted Dawkins on the development of the project. Steve Conner, Director of Business Operations, was responsible for purchasing and installing the adaptable furniture and technology to allow the finishing touches to be made to the space. Excitement of the redesign is spreading throughout the Stone Building.
Shute, who uses the space for her research meetings, says, “After more than a year of cleaning, sketching, painting, building, furnishing, refurnishing, etc., we now have a space that is fostering co-creative processes and social engagement. Its multi-purpose design allows the space to be used as a meeting room, a working space, hangout area, presentation venue, and more. It’s a wonderful space and I’m very grateful for everyone who made it possible.” Alumni and faculty of the Instructional Systems program have been instrumental in the orchestration of the Studio. Courtney Stombock, Assistant Dean for Development, concludes, “The Instructional Systems alumni and faculty have been tremendously dedicated to this project. Over the last seven years, they have made generous gifts and sought for grants to make this possible. It has been such a pleasure for me to work with them and see this project come to fruition in a more impressive way then we envisioned.”

FSU-Teach Graduates Inaugural C By Amber Smalley
Katherine Aplington, a math teacher at Godby High School in Tallahassee, is among the four members of the inaugural class of students to graduate from Florida State’s acclaimed FSU-Teach program.
Aplington cannot remember a time when she did not want to teach. “I love witnessing ‘Aha’ moments. For me, teaching isn’t a career, it’s a calling.” Launched in 2008, the innovative and collaborative program was designated to increase the number and retention of high-quality science and mathematics teachers from grades 6 to 12. FCR-STEM core funding from the Florida Legislature, combined with assistance from private grants and philanthropy, helped launch FSU-Teach. Gifts to the program help cover tuition for the introductory teaching courses, offset some costs associated with working in the classroom, and enhance the mentor teacher relationships for students.

needs school,” said Aplington. “I have a deep understanding of teaching because the program allowed me to teach almost every semester beginning with my freshman year.”
“FSU-Teach is designed around the premise that students need a deep understanding of their content and extensive experience in teaching that content in order to develop into an effective mathematics and science teachers,” said Sherry Southerland, Co-Director of FSU-Teach. “Watching our graduates succeed as the move into the classroom for themselves lets us know we are on the right track.”
FSU-Teach provides continued support for its graduates by offering both face-to-face and online support through regularly scheduled professional development sessions to help these new teachers overcome everyday challenges in the classroom.
Once mature, FSU-Teach is expected to graduate about 50 STEM teachers a year to help increase the quantity and quality of math and science teachers in critical shortage areas. “The FSU-Teach program gave me the confidence I needed to be a successful teacher in a high-
“We are deeply proud of the academic and professional success of our first class,” said Ellen Granger with the Office of Science Teaching Activities. “We knew we had an educational model that would create high-quality science and mathematics teachers that are now teaching in critical shortage areas in the state of Florida and other areas of this country.”

Farewell
A Fond
By Jennifer Chavis
n the late 1970s, the State of Florida offered incentive Igrants to nationally ranked state university programs.
One of the hires at the time was Joseph Beckham. He was an assistant professor and research associate with the Higher Education Finance Research Institute at the University of Pennsylvania when he applied for the position. Beckham joined the Florida State faculty in 1980 specializing in education law, policy and finance. “When my dean at the University of Pennsylvania learned I was leaving for Florida State, he sent a letter to then President Bernie Sliger accusing the university of raiding his faculty,” Beckham recalls. Sliger met with Beckham once he arrived at Florida State and showed him the letter. “He said he always relished getting a letter like that from another institution, because it confirmed that Florida State had made a good hire.” In December 2011, Joseph Beckham, Allan Tucker Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, retired after over 30 years of service to Florida State University. Beckham took on many responsibilities during his career at Florida State. He served as head of the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies (1988 to 1993), chair (1999 to 2001), and interim chair (2005-06). Beckham also served as Florida State’s Faculty Athletic Representative for five years.

“In 2005 I was ready for new challenges and this role gave me plenty of them. I came away with a greater appreciation for the dedication of student-athletes, coaches, and staff in our intercollegiate athletics program. I also gained a fair amount of insight into the complexities of harmonizing intercollegiate athletics with the larger purposes of a major university,” Beckham recalls. In addition to his appointment to a number of state and national boards representing educators and attorneys, Beckham was president of the National Organization on Legal Problems of Education in 1991 and was recognized with the McGhehey Award for contributions to the field of education law by the Education Law Association in 1996. He was recognized with the Ross Oglesby Award for service to FSU in 1999 and named Allan Tucker Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies in 2001. His publication list is extensive and he is a member of several editorial boards, including the editorial board of the Journal of Law and Education and the editorial advisory committee of West’s Education Law Reporter. From 2006 to 2010, he was Florida State’s Faculty Representative to the NCAA and ACC and chaired the University’s Athletic Board. Through all of his many accomplishments, Beckham
says, “I was fortunate to come to FSU during a ‘golden’ age of expansion and development, in which we were all engaged in realizing the institution’s desire for heightened status as a research university.” Upon learning of Beckham’s plans to retire, the Educational Leadership and Policy Studies program and the Higher Education Student Association hosted a retirement luncheon to celebrate his decades of service to Florida State. Approximately 80 students, faculty, staff and alumni gathered to honor Beckham at the event held in the University Center Club. “I was overwhelmed. It was extraordinary to have so many former students and members of the Florida State faculty present for the event, together with many of our current graduate students. The testimonials, thankfully, were short and a few anecdotes that were not that flattering helped me keep perspective. It gave me plenty to reflect upon and is helping to bring closure to my service at FSU,” Beckham says. “I don’t really have any regrets and feel that the university has been extremely good to me, but I do occasionally think I could have lightened up a bit more. I may be a bit too serious at times. In addition to
telling me to “stand up straight,” my mother used to tell me to “smile more.” I will work on both her admonitions in retirement.” To honor Dr. Beckham’s legacy, the Higher Education Student Association suggested the creation of a scholarship fund in his honor. As a display of his continued commitment to students, Beckham decided to provide the initial funding to establish The Joseph C. Beckham Endowment for Education Policy Studies. This fund will be used to provide travel support for deserving graduate students who want to attend and make presentations at national conferences related to their field of study. He hopes that alumni, friends, and former students will match his contributions to the fund to provide opportunities for students to showcase their work and develop their research skills. Dr. Joseph C. Beckham will be missed by all here at the College of Education and Florida State University. We thank him for many years of service and wish him a happy retirement.
