CollegeUpdate:

A Celebration of Student Leadership

Summer 2015CO L E G of ED U C A T I NL E O

The mission of the College of Education at Penn

State is to deepen and extend knowledge about the formation and utilization of human capabilities.

We’re pleased to provide this update on ways we are fulfilling this mission through the work of the talented students, alumni, faculty and staff that comprise our College. I hope you enjoy reading about the progress we made in 2014 and are inspired by what our students are doing to provide leadership for the College and the larger University.

In these pages you will read about some of these remarkable student leaders, including Allie Goldstein, a doctoral student in higher education who serves as the governor-appointed student member of Penn State’s Board of Trustees; and hard-working undergraduate students Loretta Lowman and Philip Chew, who have achieved great success both in and out of the classroom.

Leadership among our students also manifests itself in the form of our very active Education Student Council, which works to connect students to many different facets of the College. The Council has several outreach initiatives, including the Education Ambassadors, whose members share what it’s like to be a student in the College of Education with prospective students, alumni, donors and others. I’ve been particularly impressed by how skillful these student leaders are being about identifying their successors.

They realize they will be in their leadership roles for a relatively short period of time and that lasting success presupposes continuity in strong leadership,

Of course, great leadership also can be found among our faculty and staff, as evidenced by the research being done and the initiatives that have been launched. The College Update and the Sponsored Research sections include information about some new initiatives that make our College stand out among our peers.

Our fundraising efforts continue to enjoy great success in part because we assign a high priority to being good stewards with the gifts we are privileged to receive. The College is served by a very strong institutional advancement team along with dedicated volunteers led by Dave and Barb Kucharksi.

We continue to find that our alumni and friends become engaged as they learn more about the exciting work going on within the College. We welcome this engagement and look forward to raising the College to even higher levels of performance. Our College’s updated strategic plan for2014-15 through 2018-19 outlines the important agenda and attractive opportunities that lie in front of us. I believe we have developed a strong and compelling vision for the future, and we are hard at work putting the plan into effect. The complete plan along with a summary version can be viewed at http://www.ed.psu.edu/internal/strategic-plan-2014 online.

I welcome the opportunity this publication affords to express my thanks for the philanthropic support we receive and to note its key impact on what we are able to accomplish. In these pages, we say “thank you” to our supporters and share insights into how our alumni and friends help us achieve great things.

On Page 6, you can read about the tangible impact of past gifts. On the page facing this one, you can learn how additional gifts would enable us to advance the College’s initiatives in a number of new areas. As always, if you have any comments or feedback, please be in touch by emailing edrelations@psu.edu. Thank you for your interest and support and please join me in looking forward to what the future holds for the College and the field of Education.

Dean’s Message

Penn State College of Education Update 1

All of the colleges and campuses at Penn State recently

completed plans that are designed to help the University think carefully and strategically about the future, particularly over the next five years. Penn State has reached an important stage in its planning efforts, and President Eric Barron is deeply committed to building a vision for the future that is informed by a broadly participative planning process involving many points of view.

The College of Education has participated by identifying a number of key priorities for the future, including innovation in teaching and learning; the reduction of disparities in educational opportunities and performance; and the enhancement of learning opportunities in online environments. Several key areas of the curriculum also have been singled out for special attention: science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education; learning sciences; prevention and intervention sciences; education and civil rights; and language and literacy education.

Our enduring commitment to STEM education builds on existing initiatives. The learning sciences connect mathematics and science education with educational psychology, cognitive science and the College’s longstanding leadership role in technology and design. This initiative will

build bridges between these areas of the College and make connections with other parts of the University.

The College is placing new emphasis on what have become known as the prevention and intervention sciences. The goal is to find ways to be helpful to students of all ages who are facing physical, cognitive or emotional impediments.

There are new faculty members in the College with interests and expertise in education and civil rights, and the College hosted a major conference on this topic in 2014. The emerging scholarship in this area is closely connected with pressing public policy issues such as immigration reform and affirmative action.

The College recently opened a new laboratory that is designed to help faculty and students blend literacy learning, language and cultural identity. There are opportunities for students to pursue interests in teaching reading and writing to linguistically diverse audiences of all ages. The program in World Languages Education is similarly

attuned to broadening cultural awareness through the use of different languages in pedagogical settings.

These efforts build on the College’s deep commitment to reaching out to underrepresented/underserved students. The College’s Office of Multicultural Programs works closely with the College’s Diversity and Community

Enhancement Committee to develop programs and initiatives in this area. Recent efforts have focused on American Indian education; disability studies; LGBT education; and linguistic diversity. These programs and initiatives are informed by studies that are providing new insights into how best to meet students’ needs.

These initiatives come at a time when Penn State and its peers face a challenging financial climate. Penn State is very deliberately placing strict limits on tuition increases given the difficulties families already face as they attempt to pay education bills. These limits on tuition growth make philanthropic support all the more important as the College and University seek to reach the lofty goals that have been set thanks to the strategic planning process.

“I can’t stress enough the importance of how financial support from our alumni and friends benefits current students and positions us to meet the needs of future students,” said Dean David H. Monk.

Strategic initiatives point to new opportunities

The College’s Science Education Program trains students to become teachers in biology, chemistry, Earth & space science, environmental education, general science and physics.

2 Penn State College of Education Update

When Penn State students are motivated, the sky is the limit for what they can do. Students in the College of Education are no

exception. Three years ago, a few students got together and revived the College’s Education Student Council (ESC), a group that had gone dormant. Today, the Council is an active, thriving group of student leaders, dedicated to keeping students and the administration connected.

“My freshman year, I and another member of the University Park Undergraduate Association who since has graduated were asked to help rebuild the Council,” said Emily Miller, the current ESC president. “I helped select our first president and vice president, Marcy Herr and Andrew Cordrey. Our meetings started in Marcy’s apartment with about five of us trying to figure out what our vision was going to be and how we would build a lasting council that could remain strong after we all left.”

The executive board meets every other week and consists of five students: Emily Miller, president; Taylor Manalo, vice president; Heather Grimaldi, outreach chair; Rachel Krott, treasurer; and Sarah Hanrahan, secretary. The full Council meets on the off weeks, and consists of about 20 members, with a lot of overlap between the planning board and the Education Ambassadors.

One of the most important goals of the ESC is to connect current students with the leadership of the College, which is done through Roundtables held two or three times each semester. All members of the Council are invited to attend, as well as representatives from other organizations from within the College of Education.

“These meetings benefit the College greatly

because the students are provided with the opportunity to share their concerns and ideas with the deans directly,” said Grimaldi. “Topics from our most recent Roundtable include the effectiveness of freshman seminars, special living options, better visibility of majors such as Education and Public Policy, and Rehabilitation and Human Services, and concerns with placement timing for course blocks and student teaching. Additionally, the deans provide an update on news from within the College.”

Last year, the ESC started Donuts with the Deans. “People can come between classes and mingle with other students, the deans and advisers. It’s a nice way for people to talk to other people in the college.”

The idea of starting an Ambassadors group came about through conversations the Council leadership had with the deans. “There are so many organizations that show the whole University, but the College of Education also has

some unique things to offer that people within the College know a lot about and can share,” said Manalo. The Ambassadors attend a variety of functions aimed at prospective students, alumni, donors and others, to share what it’s like to be a student in the College of Education today.

Those initial meetings three years ago have led to the creation of what has become today a vibrant organization poised for success and longevity.

“We think that we have amazing people on the Council right now that are going to make that happen and it’s going to be even better than it was when it started,” Manalo said.

Penn State College of Education Update 3

A new initiative of the Penn State College of Education Student Council (ESC), called

the Education Ambassadors, is creating connections among students, alumni and prospective students through a partnership with the Office of Development and Alumni Relations and Student Services.

Education Ambassadors are student representatives who communicate to the public the scope of the education field and its impact on the global society; create an awareness of the academic programs and career opportunities available to the College of Education students; and share stories of current student life at the College of Education with alumni, donors and prospective students through various means.

Ambassadors also facilitate alumni and donor functions, give tours of the College to alumni and prospective students, and partner with Student Services to help accepted students make a decision to join the College.

“We’re delighted to see our students step so effectively into these leadership roles. Students are uniquely able to represent the College since they have first-hand knowledge of what is happening on the ground,” said Dean David H. Monk. “We’re very grateful for these students’ energy, commitment and willingness to be helpful, and encourage them to continue serving as our ambassadors once they graduate and become Penn State alumni.”

According to Phil Hoy, the assistant director of Alumni Relations who oversees the Education Ambassadors, the initiative benefits

students because they have more opportunities to learn about the College and have increased access to the deans, offering ideas that aim to improve student life.

Hoy said the initiative also is advantageous to students because of their increased access to alumni, which can help them with career choices and job searches.

“Our alumni are excited to talk with current students at College of Education events. Alumni are always amazed at the opportunities students currently have including study abroad, linked placement and leadership opportunities through student organizations,” Hoy said.

“The Ambassador group gives me the opportunity to help inspire other individuals to develop and follow passions for education. I am beginning my goal of advocating for education before even graduating from Penn State,” said Taylor Manalo, a junior in Childhood and Early Adolescent Education and a co-founder of the Ambassadors.

n Allie Goldstein is highly skilled at time-management. She has to be. The third-year doctoral candidate serves as the managing editor for Higher Education in Review. She also is a co-adviser to the Penn State Archousai Chapter of Mortar Board, serves on the Financial Literacy Advisory Board, and is a volunteer academic adviser for the University of the People.

Last July, Goldstein also became the governor-appointed student member of the Board of Trustees, as recommended by the Student Trustee Selection Committee.

“I was really surprised, and quite honored to find out the students had selected me as someone they trusted to serve in this capacity,” said Goldstein. “All of the students on the selection committee are leaders who are invested in the future of Penn State. They are individuals who I look up to both personally and professionally. For them to instill such faith in me is something I find humbling and recognize as meaningful.”

Goldstein sees her trustee role as complementing her doctoral pursuits, because she is passionate about student development.

“Being a trustee presents me with the incredible opportunity to see how universities function, and to be a part of that decision-making process. Being the student representative has allowed me to connect to my peers, and to learn what it is that matters most to them,” she said.

Goldstein, of East Rockaway, N.Y., is planning to do her dissertation on the outcomes of engagement and connectivity for online learners.

“There’s a difference between offering classes online and offering the full college experience in an online environment. I’ll be looking primarily at residential institutions that have developed online campuses, to learn what makes students who study from a distance feel connected to their institution,” Goldstein said.

While Goldstein is knowledgeable in many areas, she remains steadfastly open to learning from those with different perspectives, to broaden her perspective. She has had several mentors, and has observed many different leadership styles.

“I don’t think there is any exact formula for being a good leader. Leaders can be quiet, or outgoing; good at delegating, or best when doing the work themselves,” she said. “I try to be the type of leader that takes the time to connect with others and never claims that my answer is the only or the best answer,” she said. “I have learned so much through the relationships I’ve built with others, and not only do I think that has helped me to grow as a leader, but it has made the experience all the more meaningful.”

Ph.D. Candidate — Higher Education

“I am fortunate to have been a part of the great educational experience that Penn State’s Higher Education Program provides. I feel that serving as the student member of the Board of Trustees awards me the opportunity to act in the best interests of the students while teaching me valuable lessons outside of the classroom.”

Penn State College of Education Update 5

Loretta LowmanSenior, Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate degree program in Special Education and Curriculum and Instruction

n Loretta Lowman’s journey to Penn State began when she was accepted to attend the Summer College Opportunity Program in Education (SCOPE). Though nervous about taking college classes as a high school student, she excelled in the classroom because of a supportive staff that pushed her academically and encouraged her to believe in herself. “My SCOPE experience has shaped me into the capable and intelligent woman I am today. I was able to grow both academically and socially within the SCOPE program,” she said.

As the first person in her family to be accepted and to attend college, Lowman chose to study special education in the College of Education at Penn State and was selected as the recipient of the John Gilmartin Trustee Scholarship award.

She credits her passion for special education to her elementary school teachers who taught her to be confident, despite her learning disability. “They provided so many authentic ways of learning in the classroom that I finally realized that I was competent and capable of learning,” she said.

Lowman’s main career goal is to give back through teaching and have the same impact on her students that her teachers had on her. “When I started at Penn State, I thought I would just be learning how to teach, but I have learned so much more. Not only will I be equipped to successfully serve my students by providing them a quality education, I will be able to do so in a manner that values them.”

As the scholarship recipient, she believes that saying “thank you” is simply not enough. When Lowman graduates in May 2015, she plans to pay it forward by supporting her students. “I will help those who were in my position get to where I am today,” she said, “I will provide the same support that was given me to get them where they need to go.”

Philip ChewSenior, Education and Public Policy

n It’s not uncommon to hear graduates entering the job market

say they want to give back to the community or help underprivileged youth. Philip Chew’s goal is to write educational policy that would lead to some of each. The Education and Public Policy major in Penn State’s College of Education is well on his way. A Summer 2014 internship afforded the Queens, New York, native who transferred from the State University of New York Geneseo ample exposure to the operations and process of New York City’s education system. “They were taking applications for a learning partners program that takes schools that are strong in one of 16 self-identified focused areas and partner them with two schools that want to grow in those same areas,’’ Chew said. “I developed a dashboard to help profile the schools and the applicants to see what the demographics of these schools are, what their strong suits are, what our reviewers are saying about these schools. And when students applied to colleges, I was part of the process of developing a system that streamlined that process.’’ From that, he gleaned information that thrust him into a senior-year process of designing a research proposal to explore the validity and reliability of New York City’s Specialized High School entrance exams. Conducting research to contribute to substantial and significant changes in high school and college admission policies is his ultimate end result. Whether he returns to examine the inner-city educational process or to convey it – he might first be asked to teach, he said – he’s clear on his mission and vision: “My aim is to develop my understanding of psychometrics to expand my thinking on testing and school-admission policies,’’ Chew said. “I think ideally it was to be able to change the way we view standards and how we tie assessments to standards.’’

6 Penn State College of Education Update

High-quality education is the key to a promising future. It builds character, boosts confidence and opens doors of opportunity. It improves society and

produces leaders. It charts a bright future and gives birth to innovation.

For all of these reasons and more, education is a worthy investment, one that many alumni, faculty, staff and friends chose to support during For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students. All of these gifts and pledges have benefited numerous students in the College of Education.

In his final report on the campaign, Dean David H. Monk said the generous gifts from alumni and friends throughout the seven-year “For the Future” campaign, which ended officially on June 30, 2014, are moving the College to unprecedented levels of excellence.

“The resulting scholarships make it possible for us to recruit and retain highly talented students who otherwise would have been denied a Penn State education,” said Monk. “We celebrate these students’ successes and delight in observing their entrance into so many parts of the vast field of education. The achievements of the campaign also strengthened the faculty and the richness of the educational experience for our students.”

Through the campaign, the College raised more than $32.8 million and dramatically increased the number of positive impacts on students. In the 2006-07 academic year, the first year of the

campaign, $530,000 in scholarships were awarded from endowments. During 2013-14, the College awarded more than $800,000 in scholarships. In addition, the College was able to increase the average scholarship amount from $1,300 to $2,200, an increase of nearly 70 percent.

The gifts received throughout the campaign have real-world impact. They have been used to support 15 graduate assistantships, countless scholarships, program development, faculty support and facility improvements.

In addition, 46 new endowments were established in the College during the “For the Future” campaign through outright gifts, pledges and documented estate gifts.

Support from alumni, friends benefits students

Scholarship recipient Bryan Testa, in a thank-you note to a donor: “I wanted to personally thank you for the generous donation to create my scholarship. It truly will aid me in my advancement to become a professional educator. The scholarship means an incredible amount to me. It has given me the opportunity to further my education and to continue to push myself in the right direction.”

These initiatives come when funding for external grants and contracts has become extremely competitive. Faculty in the College responded admirably to these funding challenges and are developing innovative proposals that are highly rated by the funding agencies. The new faculty members being recruited into the College are

seriously committed to both research and the delivery of high quality professional preparation programs for students. The College is well-positioned to continue playing a leadership role in the world for cutting-edge scholarship that answers important questions about practice.

Dean Monk recently observed, “Penn State is one of

the top research universities in the world, and the members of our faculty in the College are unparalleled in their efforts to generate new knowledge that transforms the lives of students of all ages. The benefits redound to the larger society and justify the investments being made by both public and private funding agencies as well as by our alumni and friends.”

8 Penn State College of Education Update

The College of Education is working to increase the number of teachers with expertise in

educating students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

The College has expanded its special education and autism program to include the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) Endorsement.

This addition is intended to improve teachers’ skills in dealing with complex classroom settings and to assist them in gaining expertise in effectively educating the growing ASD population through specific coursework, relevant field experience and research.

“I wanted Penn State to be a part of alleviating the shortages of teachers that have expertise in ASD,” said Pam Wolfe, associate professor of special education and director of the program. “We are really well-suited because the College of Education combines research and teaching very well, so it’s a perfect opportunity for individuals to get feedback on research and to let them practice excellence in teaching.”

More children in the state and the nation are being identified as having ASD than ever before, according to Wolfe. With this endorsement, teaching professionals could increase their marketability because

schools have a great need for expertise in the area of ASD.

“The competencies that the students are getting in the courses are ones that are shown to be research-based and effective for individuals with ASD,” Wolfe said. “The endorsement is heavy on empirical evidence, so the program uses standards from Council for Exceptional Children, the National Autism Center and other research.”

The program overlaps

with the preexisting postbaccalaureate Certificate in Educating Individuals with Autism. The endorsement program can be completed in one academic year and one summer, according to Wolfe.

Field experiences are integrated throughout the coursework. Additionally, research is incorporated into the field experiences.

Tutoring through technology: Education is online in the College of Education Penn State students gained hands-on experience with English language learners (ELLs) during virtual tutoring sessions in the College of Education’s Educate room. During the tutoring sessions, Penn State students help elementary and middle-school students from the Hazleton One Community Center in Hazleton to develop their language, literacy and math skills. The online tutoring sessions are a part of the College of Education’s course titled CI 280: Teaching English Language Learners (ELLs).

“CI 280 was developed as the result of a state mandate that requires all education majors (and others entering related fields) to take a course related to working with ELLs,” said Megan Hopkins, assistant professor of education.

CEAED program option earns nationally recognized accreditationAn option in the Childhood and Early Adolescent Education (CEAED) program in Penn State’s College of Education recently received high marks from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the primary accreditation agency for teacher certification. The pre-kindergarten through fourth grade (PK-4) option passed the comprehensive evaluation with NCATE’s highest rating, nationally recognized with no conditions. This means the program was accepted without any further actions required.

Stephanie Knight, associate dean for undergraduate and graduate studies, said the accreditation process is extremely rigorous, but tremendously important.

“Receiving this accreditation allows graduates of our programs to easily transfer their credentials to other states as teachers or administrators because it is based on a set of standards that are common to the profession,” Knight said.

New study-abroad course focused on disability is only one of Its kindThe College of Education recently announced a new study-abroad course that will take place in Ireland in June 2015. The course, which is titled “Culture and Disability,” is unique at the University.

“This four-week course is the only study-abroad program at Penn State that is focused specifically on disability,” said Kathleen McKinnon, associate professor in the College’s Educational Psychology, Counseling, and Special Education (EPCSE) department.

Wendy Coduti, assistant professor in EPCSE, is coordinating the course to Ireland with McKinnon. She said offering a study-abroad experience like this is significant because people with disabilities are considered the largest minority globally, making up 15 percent of the world’s population.
