Overview
This new year brings many challenges. In a constantly changing political environment when it involves the Education field, it seems we are asked to do more and more with our students as we hold them accountable as future teachers to ensure higher and higher k-12 student achievement.
Within the above context, at the School of Education (SOE) we are attempting to construct a new "public identity," where service, community outreach and engagement become the norm, in addition to the regular excellent teaching and research that faculty conduct at the SOE.
This year we are consciously attempting to build deeper community relationships. We are working hard to build a new and revitalized conceptual framework as well as toying with the idea of restructuring how we do field placements. More to come in the near future! As we prepare for our accreditation visit in the Spring we are busy collecting data to support the kind of intellectual and practical scholar practitioner work and the work we do at the SOE.
Our research is on-going and ranges from issues of service learning, to the relationship of Barack Obama to Education, to STEM (Science, Engineering, Technology and Math) concerns, early childhood and diversity issues and much, much more. This year we will be presenting to the Commission of Higher Education our Doctorate proposal in Educational Leadership. Fingers crossed. Hopefully by my next report, we will have a doctorate possibility in Education at IPFW.
As usual, we urge you to join us in helping to build our community of teacher leaders. Till next time...
