National Council on Measurement in Education Award
Allen Cohen receives national award for career contributions to educational measurement Allan Cohen, director of the Georgia Center for Assessment and the Aderhold Professor of Research Methodology in the University of Georgia College of Education, has been named the recipient of a national award for his career contributions to educational measurement. Cohen will receive the 2012 Award for Career Contributions to Educational Measurement from the National Council on Measurement in Education at the annual meeting. Cohen, whose center handles many of the state of Georgia’s standardized school tests, is widely respected for his work in the field. Recently, he led a team of UGA researchers in developing a new statistical method for measuring the growth of students’ problem-solving skills in mathematics. The new method enables researchers to simultaneously measure both the different ways that students can reason about individual questions on a mathematics test and their overall growth in mathematics ability. Current methods for detecting growth of students’ skills in math by score-level analysis may fail to reflect subtle changes that might be evident at the item level, said Cohen. The new method combines an analysis of individual performance on each test question coupled with methods that provide a deeper analysis of the differences in reasoning that students use to answer each test question. The work earned Cohen and his colleagues the 2011 Award for an Outstanding Example of an Application of Educational Measurement Technology to a Specific Problem from the National Council for Measurement in Education. The team included UGA colleague Seock-Ho Kim, a professor of educational psychology; lead author Sun-Joo Cho, a UGA College of Education doctoral graduate and now assistant professor of educational psychology at Vanderbilt University; and Brian A. Bottge, the William T. Bryan Endowed Chair in Special Education and Rehabilitation Counseling at the University of Kentucky. Cohen has also been director of the College of Education’s Institute for Interdisciplinary Research on Education and Human Development since 2010. He joined the UGA faculty in 2003 after 24 years as a faculty member and testing expert at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

American Educational Research Association Awards
Three College of Education faculty members to be honored by AERA Three College of Education faculty members—Donna Alvermann, Peter Smagorinsky and Jonathan Templin—will be recognized for their work at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association.
Alvermann, a UGA Distinguished Research Professor in the department of language and literacy education, has been named a 2012 Fellow of the AERA in recognition of her exceptional scientific and scholarly contributions to education research. Alvermann has been recognized for her work many times during her nearly three decades as a UGA faculty member. She was named 2010 Southern Regional Education Board Mentor of the Year for the Compact for Faculty Diversity Institute on Teaching and Mentoring. She received the William S. Gray Citation of Merit from the International Reading Association for her outstanding contributions to the field of reading education in 2006. She was elected to the Reading Hall of Fame in 1999 and is a recipient of the National Reading Conference’s Oscar Causey Award for Outstanding Contributions to Reading Research, the Albert Kingston Award for Distinguished Service, the College Reading Association’s Laureate Award, and the H.B. Herr Award for Contributions to Research in Reading Education. Alvermann’s research focuses on youth’s multiple literacies in and out of school. She co-authored or edited two books in 2010, Bring It to Class: Unpacking Pop Culture in Literacy Learning (Teachers College Press) and Adolescents’ Online Literacies: Connecting Classrooms, Digital Media, & Popular Culture (Peter Lang Publishing). Donna Alvermann
She co-edited the Reading Research Quarterly from 2003-07 and was appointed to the RAND Corporation/U.S. Department of Education’s Reading Research Study Panel in 2000. She was elected president of the Literacy Research Association in 1991 and was named a Spencer Research Foundation Mentor from 1997-98. She co-directed the National Reading Research Center, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, from 1992-97. Alvermann joins six other College of Education faculty members previously named Fellows of the AERA. UGA Distinguished Research Professors Leslie Steffe, of mathematics education, and Peter Smagorinsky of language education, in 2010; Distinguished Aderhold Professor Judith Preissle, of lifelong education, administration, and policy, and Jeremy Kilpatrick, a Regents Professor of mathematics education, in 2009; Mary Atwater, of science education, and Roy Martin, professor emeritus of educational psychology, who were inaugural Fellows in 2008.

American Educational Research Association Awards Smagorinsky, a UGA Distinguished Research Professor also in the department of language and literacy education, was named recipient of the 2012 Sylvia Scribner Award which recognizes work by a Division C member that has significantly influenced thinking and research in the field of learning and instruction. In addition to the Scribner award, Smagorinsky was named Outstanding Reviewer for 2012 for the AERA journal, American Educational Research Journal. He was previously named Outstanding Reviewer of AERA publications in 2011, 2008, 2007 and 2006.
Peter Smagorinsky
On the national level, Smagorinsky has directed all of the research entities of the National Council of Teachers of English: co-editor of Research in the Teaching of English, chair of the Research Foundation, chair of the Standing Committee on Research, president of the National Conference on Research in Language and Literacy, co-chair of the Assembly for Research, and two terms as chair of the Research Forum. Through these capacities, Smagorinsky has worked to open the field for broader participation and instituted programs and efforts to foster the development of the next generation of researchers.
Templin, an associate professor in the department of educational psychology and instructional technology, was named the recipient of the 2012 Significant Contribution to Research Methodology Award for his book, Diagnostic Measurement: Theory, methods and applications. Templin is one of the three co-authors on this major text in psychometric theory. The book is the first text that describes a new class of psychometric models that seek to provide test takers and their teachers with informative and useful feedback from standardized tests, potentially changing the way large scale testing is conducted throughout the country.

Dillard, who joined the UGA faculty in January as the first Mary Frances Early Professor of Teacher Education, will receive the 2012 Distinguished Contributions to Gender Equity in Education Research Award. It is given in recognition of distinguished research, professional practice, and activities that advance public understanding of gender and/or sexuality in the education community. Dillard’s major research interests include critical multicultural education, spirituality in teaching and learning, epistemological concerns in research and African/African-American feminist studies. Most recently, her research has focused in Ghana, West Africa, where she established a preschool and an elementary school. Dillard has received many awards during her career including the Ohio State University Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching (1999), the Washington State University College of Education Distinguished Alumni Award (1997), the Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian Award from the Columbus (Ohio) Education Association (1997), and the Outstanding Service Award from the Ohio Teaching Leadership Consortium (1996). She has authored one book titled, On Spiritual Strivings: Transforming an African-American Woman’s Academic Life (Suny Series in Women in Education, 2007), and a dozen articles for leading journals in her field. Please join us for a cocktail reception on Saturday, April 14, 2012 from 6 to 8 p.m. to honor Dr. Dillard and our other award winners. Vancouver Convention Centre, West Room 217-218
