Faculty Profile“A lot more to math than justgetting the answer”Pete Kloosterman’s career has been about diggingdeeper into how students learn mathematicsIt’s quite common for a new classroomteacher to enter the firstclassroom with an idealistic view ofthe impact he or she will have.“When I left college, my thought wasI was going to be the greatest calculusteacher in high school ever,” said PeterKloosterman, the Martha Lea and BillArmstrong Chair for Teacher Educationand a professor of mathematics educationin the IU School of Education.Kloosterman had earned his degreefrom Michigan State University andheaded to teach in an alternative highschool in Madison, Wisc. The schoolhad wide range of students but wasknown as a safe place for students whohad experienced trouble while in otherlarge public schools.“I had classes where 25 percent ofthe kids would have been arrested inany other school in the district,” Kloostermansaid. “But because we were in asmall environment where there wasn’tanybody hassling them and they wereaway from the bad influences, mostly,things worked out well.”Soon, Kloosterman’s work in the mathdepartment—where for several years,he constituted the entire faculty—turnedto working with struggling students. “Icame to really appreciate those kids,”he said. “Most of my high school teachingwas really focusing on working withkids who had bad experiences in mathematicsand how to turn them around.”The early teaching experience hasshaped the direction of Kloosterman’swork as a faculty member in the Schoolof Education, where he joined as aninstructor in 1984, becoming an assistantprofessor in 1985. It has driven himto understand the ways students learnand how many different methods mighthelp those struggling in math. It’s partof his mission, now that he’s responsiblefor teaching teachers to enter the K-12classroom as he did for eight years beforeearning his master’s and PhD at theUniversity of Wisconsin. Should he enterthat high school classroom again now,he said he’d be a much better teacherbecause of how much more he knowsabout different ways of teaching.“There’s a lot more to math than justgetting the answer,” Kloosterman said.“There are lots of different ways to lookat most math problems.”That reasoning is behind his secondmajor project to look at student performanceacross the country in mathematicsfunded by the National ScienceFoundation (NSF). The NSF has granted$1.3 million for a project examiningdata from the National Assessment ofEducation Progress, or NAEP, to comparehow current U.S. students fare inrelation to their peers of three decadesago. The three-year study will alsoexamine how performance may link tospecific math curricula and courses highschool students take.“It looks at how achievement haschanged in mathematics over the last30 years and how that relates to whathas been taught—where we are doingbetter and what topics in math we stillneed to improve on,” Kloosterman said.The grant continues Kloosterman’swork towards understanding longitudinaldata on U.S. student mathematicsperformance.

But it’s also to tell the story ofwhat’s going on in schools.”Telling the story is especially important,he said, because much of whatis happening well in teaching mathgets muted by stories about how U.S.students are faring poorly compared toother countries. In fact, while achievementof high school students in the U.S.has been relatively stable, elementaryand middle school students are doingmuch better than 20 years ago. “Weneed to document the things that arebeing done well so that they don’t getlost in all the calls for change.” Kloostermansaid.As the Armstrong Chair, a role heassumed in the fall, Kloosterman isworking with some of Indiana’s bestclassroom teachers. Armstrong TeacherEducators are nominated by superintendentsand principals based on apattern of outstanding teaching andschool leadership. They take part inprofessional development opportunitiesand work with IU faculty and students.With these elite educators, Kloostermanhas found he’s still finding new waysof looking at learning math. Recently,one of the teachers showed videotapeof a Japanese student in her classroomworking a math problem alongside aU.S. student.“The Japanese kid was doing subtractionvery differently than an Americankid was doing it,” he said. “And towatch that kid and understand what hewas doing and how he was thinking,that’s really been a wonderful thing forme to do.”Winner, runner-up, nearly allfinalists for Indiana Teacher ofthe Year are alumniWhen the Indiana Department ofEducation announced the list of finalistsfor state teacher of the year, theIU School of Education had an 80percent chance that one of its ownwould be the winner.So it was only a bit of a surprisewhen, in early October, Stacy McCormack,physics teacher at Penn HighSchool in Mishawaka and a 1999graduate with a BS in science educationfrom IUB learned she had wonthe honor of 2011 Indiana Teacher ofthe Year. The IU School of Educationalso named McCormack an ArmstrongTeacher Educator earlier in2010. McCormack is now the state’snominee for 2011 National Teacher ofthe Year.In addition, the runner-up forTeacher of the Year is also an IUSchool of Education alumnus. JamilOdom of Mary Bryan Elementary inMSD of Perry Township, MS‘05, inelementary education from the IUSchool of Education in Bloomington,earned that honor.IU School of Education graduatesmade up most of the finalists for IndianaTeacher of the year. Eight of the10 finalists announced in Septemberare alumni of the IU School of Educationcore campus of Bloomington andIndianapolis.”The IU School of Educationhas had a long history of preparingexcellent teachers,” said IU School ofEducation Dean Gerardo Gonzalez.“We are very proud of our graduatesand the difference they’re making inIndiana classrooms. McCormack andOdom richly deserve the Teacher ofthe Year honors for which they havebeen selected.”An Indiana Department of Educationcommittee comprised of departmentpersonnel and external communityand education leaders – includingformer Teachers of the Year awardwinners – selected McCormack as theStacy McCormackJamil OdomTeacher of the Year after interviewingten finalists in September.“I’m absolutely honored anddelighted to represent the phenomenalteachers of the state of Indiana,”McCormack said. “In all grade levelsand in all schools Indiana educatorsexemplify dedication and passion. Noother group of people work harderthan teachers, and it’s my joy to sharewith others the amazing work beingdone in every school across our state.”Chalkboard • 5

a single caregiver; and feeling states, the general expression ofhappiness or unhappiness, sleepiness or being asleep, or expressinglittle feeling at all.“I would focus on infants, often one infant over several days,or one or two infants over several days,” McMullen said, “to seehow is Dexter, how is Daniel, how is samantha feeling, what is shedoing, is she in somebody’s arms, is she alone, is she engaged witha group?”on average she found the infants were in child care more than8 hours a day (some more than 9-and-a-half hours a day, others aslittle as 4-and-half hours a day). Mostly, the children were happyand engaged. they slept a little less than two hours a day.But what surprised McMullen — and other researchers reviewingher findings — was a notable difference in centers that practiceda particular type of infant care. In three of the centers whichMcMullen said followed a “social constructivist” model of practice— with teachers encouraging learning by facilitating a proper experiencemeeting each child’s needs — infants displayed markedlydifferent behavior. the behavior stood in contrast to the oneclassroom that McMullen described as using a “behaviorist”model — treating each infant’s behavior as representing auniversal infant reaction rather than teachers taking care forindividual needs of the child.“In the three centers in which a more social constructivistmodel of practice was followed — what we could considerbest practice in the field — these babies were engaging inearly caring, empathy, friendship behaviors,” McMullen said.these are among the “prosocial skills” McMullen and otherresearchers say are what adults should encourage in babies.such skills also include helping, trust, self control, honesty,and comforting.With the vast amount of time babies are now spending inthese groups, McMullen said the findings are very important.“In the group where I didn’t see these behaviors, it was verydifficult to be in that group,” she said. “there was tension,there was stress, there was loud crying.” given a choiceamong the groups, McMullen said anyone would choose theother. “In the first group in which there were these caring, sharing,empathy skills — prosocial skills were being fostered and learnedand carried out,” she said. “there was much less tension, muchless stress, the environment itself was much calmer and pleasant. Itwas easy to be there.” Developmentally, the stress on the babieswould clearly make the longer days much harder, McMullen said.to make the prosocial environment happen, teachers literallyset the stage. McMullen said she observed intentional activitieson behalf of the teachers that made for a positive atmosphere.“this one teacher, she would come an hour before,” she said. “Itwas almost like she was setting a banquet for these guests whowould come. and she treated the environment that way. It was thiswonderful place for everybody to come and be.”What drove the teacher to take such actions was an establishedsense that each individual baby should receive respect and eachteacher should understand each child’s circumstance. “Knowingthe baby’s family, knowing that the baby might have some issuesgoing on in the family, that’s another aspect of the respect,”McMullen said. “contrast that with this other center, where theyhad as many as nine caregivers through the course of the day.they didn’t know the babies very well, didn’t know them as individuals.they did treat them as a herd, a pack.”so in the room where prosocial skills were taught and reinforced,when a baby cried the teachers took it as a sign of communication.teachers in the other room treated it as an annoyance,sometimes ignored. “If you’re going to develop prosocial skills,the teacher has to be somebody who is respectful of what thechildren are trying to communicate, and therefore she models thatshe’s responsive.”the findings about prosocial skills are a small part of a year’swork McMullen will publish as the book Portraits of Mindful InfantCare in the coming year. But they are a remarkable finding sincemany researchers and caregivers have dismissed the capacity ofbabies exhibiting and developing such traits. McMullen found inthis case, it might simply be a matter of giving infants the opportunityto develop such skills that will certainly affect their later years.“these behaviors put the babies well on their way to havingwhat they need to get along well as social beings,” she said.Chalkboard • 7

Alumni NewsSenator honors school led by alum, dissertation notedTwo alumni of the Indiana UniversitySchool of Education are amongthe four Indiana finalists for thePresidential Award for Excellencein Mathematics and Science Teaching(PAEMST), the highest recognitionthat a kindergarten through 12thgrademathematics or science teachermay receive for outstanding teachingin the U.S. Jan Koloszar of Kokomoearned a BS in elementary educationin 1976 from the IU School of Educationin Bloomington, adding an MS inelementary education in 1980 from theIU School of Education in Indianapolis.Julie Sigmund earned an MS in 2008 inlanguage education from the IU Schoolof Education in Bloomington.Amy Knerr, MS’03, from the IUSchool of Education at IUPUI, won thenational award for the state of Indianafor 2009.On October 20, U.S. Sen. Dick Lugarjoined Dr. Tony Bennett, IndianaSuperintendent of Public Instruction,to present Franklin TownshipCommunity Schools Corporationin Marion County, the third LugarEducation Patriot award and honorthe IU School of Education alumnuswho leads the corporation. The awardhonors a school, school corporation, oreducation leader who has demonstratedleadership and initiative in improvingthe academic achievement and careerpreparation of Indiana students.This year’s award honored a schooldistrict that has begun to turn aroundits student performance in just a fewshort years. A news release from SenatorLugar’s office cites the turning pointas when it hired Walter Bourke, whoearned a master’s in secondary educationfrom the IU School of Education inIndianapolis in 1984, adding an EdD ineducational leadership and curriculumand instruction from the IU School ofEducation in 1993.“Franklin Township’s journey beganwhen Dr. Walter D. Bourke assumedWalter Bourkethe leadership for the Franklin TownshipCommunity School Corporation in2006” the release read. “In July of 2007,he assembled a new administrative educationalteam to address instructionalchallenges faced by the district.”As an indication of just how farBourke has led Franklin Township, in2006, the Center for Evaluation andEducation Policy (CEEP) at the IU Schoolof Education published a report thatnamed the corporation the fourth mostunderperforming school district in thestate. Two years later, the IndianapolisBusiness Journal ranked Franklin Township2nd for growth in Mathematics andtied for 4th place for growth in English/Language Arts. Spring 2010 ISTEP+gains exceeded the state in every contentarea and at every grade level. Theoverall ISTEP passing rates are up by anaverage of 8.5 percent in mathematicsand language arts. Franklin Central HighSchool’s graduation rate has improvedfrom 70 percent to a projected 87 percentfor 2010.Lugar praised Franklin Township’sefforts and results in the news release.“Franklin has shown what is possiblewhen a community comes togetherwith intention and focus to improveschool performance and better meetthe needs of the students they serve,”Lugar said. “I look forward to closelyfollowing Franklin Township’s futureachievements.”John HouserThe Institute for Education Leadershipin Washington, D.C., is citing as amajor contribution to the field a studyby a recent Indiana University Schoolof Education PhD graduate suggestinga relationship between higher participationin extra-curricular programs andbetter grades at an Indianapolis communityschool.School psychology doctoral graduateJohn H. Houser’s dissertation analyzedparticipation and grades duringthe 2008-09 school year at GeorgeWashington Community High School(GWCHS), a full-service communityschool. For that year, the students whohad a higher participation rate in extracurricularactivities also had a highergrade-point average.“There’s certainly a relationship goingon between participating in theseprograms both offered by the schooland the community and how that relatesto how they’re doing academically,”Houser said.The Institute for Education Leadershipissued a news release noting Houser’sfindings. The organization directsthe Coalition for Community Schools,which promotes the community schoolconcept. It honored GWCHS with thefirst National Community School Awardin 2006.

Asmany as 60 student-interns work in theschools for 14 weeks each semester.Houser found participation ratesvaried by race/ethnicity and gender,with one group participating at a higherlevel and showing a higher grade-pointaverage.North Idaho College namedSheldon C. Nord, PhD‘97, in highereducation, as its vice president forstudent services in September. Nordhad been the CEO of Universitas PelitaHarapan in Indonesia. “NIC studentsand Students Services staff have setthe bar high in being innovative and responsiveto students’ needs,” Nord saidin a news release from the university. “Ilook forward to working with the staffand students to continue the good workof collaboration with faculty and othersto enhance the NIC student educationalexperience.”Nord was CEO of Universitas PelitaHarapan, an 11,000-student university,from 2007 until last fall. He was the firstnon-Indonesian president of any universityin that country. In that position, hesupervised several campus leaders.From 2003 to 2007, Nord was vicepresident for student affairs at EasternOregon University and was dean ofstudents at Weber State University from2002 to 2003.School of Educationwraps successful partof IUB’s “Matching thePromise” campaignThe IU School of Education reached its$11 million goal with the close of IndianaUniversity’s seven year “Matching thePromise” fundraising campaign for theBloomington campus. The effort startedon July 1, 2003 and closed on May 31,2010. Indiana University initiated thecampaign to provide scholarships andfellowships, provide funding for facultychairs to attract and retain leading academictalent, and to construct high-qualityteaching and research facilities.The School of Education’s ExecutiveDirector of Development and AlumniRelations Sarah Baumgart (now retired)said the “matching” part of the campaign’stitle helped spur donor generosity.Indiana University provided matchingmoney for contributions that supportedstudents. “Donors loved knowing thattheir gifts could be maximized,” Baumgartsaid.For the School of Education, suchdonations have created some excitingopportunities.

Impact abroad:building global partnershipsto improve teachingand learningWe’re seeing some verytangible resultsIn areas of the world where thecomplexity of societal problems ismatched only by the need to solvethem, signs of progress are measuredin incremental steps. as such,positive changes can sometimes seemhard to see. approaching a decade sincethe terrorist attacks of september 11,2001 that launched the latest war on afghanistan’ssoil, much of the U.s. foreignpolicy debate centers on exactly what haschanged for the good since.of course, what makes the headlinesare the signs that peace is not yet athand. “We hear a lot about the war,”said terry Mason, professor of curriculumstudies at the IU school of Education.“But what people don’t hear a lot aboutis the development work that’s going onover there.”Mason directs the center for socialstudies and International Education(cssIE), established more than 40 yearsago as the social studies Developmentcenter. It has several ongoing projects,but likely none as potentially challengingas the higher Education Project inafghanistan. Funded by the U.s. agencyfor International Devel-opment (UsaID) startingin 2006, the officialclose of the project is inJanuary 2011. comingto that deadline date,Mason said there hasbeen progress.“When you begin something like this,it seems so overwhelming and vast andcomplex that you wonder if you’re ever reallygoing to see anything come of it,” hesaid. “But now, almost five years in, we’reseeing some very tangible results.”the project, coordinated with thecountry’s Ministry of higher Education,and working with 18 institutions offeringfour-year teacher preparation programsin afghanistan, seeks to better prepareuniversity faculty while also establishingteacher education and certificationstandards. as part of the program, 12afghan teacher educators earned master’sdegrees at IU from 2007 to 2009. “We’reworking with people who are training theteachers,” said Mitzi Lewison, professor ofliteracy, culture and language education.Lewison coordinated the curriculum forU.S. Ambassador Tim Roemer, left, and Terry Mason with a group of studentsin Delhi, India during the “Project Citizen Student Showcase” on Oct. 25.the master’s degree program and oversawstudent academic progress.Mason said efforts to reform highereducation centered on teacher educationin part because of the immense needsin afghanistan. “We can’t do everythingall at once,” he said. “so the objectiveis to improve teaching and learning inteacher education. and that has to dowith developing curriculum, content materials,teaching methods, and providingresources so that institutions can accessthe internet, all sorts of things.”Lewison said the work involved practicalaspects for faculty preparing classroomteachers, but also other elementsaimed at helping the broader educationalenvironment. “some of the training is forpeople who are teaching English in theschools,” she said, “but other parts arecoUrtEsy tErry MasoN10 • Chalkboard

We’re presentingtypical issues that happen in afghanistanand how students might talk about thatin ways where they respect multiple viewpoints.It’s been pretty darn interesting.”the results are evident. Last March,Lewison and Mason attended a graduationceremony at Kabul EducationUniversity for 41 afghans earning master’sof education degrees, including thosewho studied at IU. teacher educatorshave also formed an association for mathand science teachers across the countrysponsored by the higher EducationProject. Math education professor Enriquegalindo joined Mason for the association’sfirst conference in august.“It’s really the afghan teacher educatorsthemselves that are creating andsustaining this organization,” Mason said.“We sponsored their first conference, theyadopted a set of bylaws, they electedofficers, and they had a chance to shareideas about math and science teaching.It was really the culmination of the workon math and science teacher educationcurriculum that we’ve been doing for thelast five years.”Looking over the teachers gathered forthat event, Mason felt afghan educationtook a large step forward. “seeing everyone— 250 participants who constitutedbasically all the math and science teachereducators in afghanistan — all in oneroom,” he said.,“you really got a sensethat something powerful was occurring.”that sense is also present in othercssIE projects. Providing professionaldevelopment for all middle school mathand science teachers in Macedonia hasbeen the focus of another UsaID-sponsoredgrant. since 2006, faculty fromthe IU school of Education have traveledto Macedonia to conduct workshops topromote inquiry and project-based teachingmethods in those subjects. Masonand cssIE are also continuing longstandingwork through the civitas InternationalEducation Exchange Program. the IUschool of Education became involvedwhen the U.s. Department of Educationstarted the first exchanges in 1995designed to pair educators from EasternEurope, the former soviet Union, africa,asia, and Latin america with counterpartsfrom the United states. the school ofEducation began exchanges with Latvia,Lithuania, and Estonia, then expanded toMalawi and India in 2008.In october, Mason joined U.s. ambassadorto India tim roemer, the formerU.s. representative from Indiana’s 3 rdDistrict, for a celebration of student workproduced by participants in “Project citizen.”that program encourages studentsto examine public policy issues in theircommunities and recommend solutions.Mason said the display was impressive —particularly to the ambassador.“sometimes in those situations, publicofficials agree to come to events like thisbut they usually make a very perfunctoryappearance — just shake some hands andleave,” Mason said. “Well, ambassadorroemer stayed around. he met with allthe kids, reviewed and discussed theirprojects, delivered an inspiring speechand handed out awards.”Mason added that the ambassadorwas glad to see his home state institutioninvolved in such important educationalwork in India. “In terms of the future ofU.s. foreign policy in that region, they’relooking to India to be a stabilizing force,”he said. “When you consider afghanistan,Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other countriesin the region, India — although it haschallenges — is certainly the most stable,certainly the most rapidly-emerging as aworld economy.”so with such importance placed in thecountry, the effort has hit the ground running.a delegation from India and Malawi— a developing country in southeastafrica — spent several days in the U.s. tostart the exchange in 2008, stopping inWashington, D.c. to meet with congres-“Seeing everyone —250 participants whoconstituted basicallyall the math and scienceteacher educatorsin Afghanistan –– allin one room.

Ultimately,the English teachers will learn methodsthat might help close the gaps betweenneighbors. “the idea is to help theseteachers develop teaching strategies thatwould focus on issues of interest to botharmenian students and turkish students,for the ultimate purpose of helping reconcilethe differences between the citizensof those countries.”the work there will be amidst definitetensions, Mason said. Despite that, hesaid many people from the two nationsshare the will to find a way past the differences.and after all, he can reflect onprevious experiences and know that manydifficulties can be overcome. the successof the afghanistan higher EducationProject has provided an encouragingblueprint.“It’s really gratifying to see that manyobstacles have been overcome and thatwe are making a significant impact in theways that these higher education institutionsare being run,” Mason said.coUrtEsy MItZI LEWIsoN12 • Chalkboard

Alumnus, former faculty member onthe front lines of his research topicAlumni ProfilecoUrtEsy chUcK carNEyNowhere in the U.s. is more known forthe struggles over illegal immigrationthan the state of arizona. an estimated halfmillionundocumented immigrants are there.and because of recent events, an IU schoolof Education alumnus said they and otherLatinos in the state are traumatized.From a research standpoint, carlos ovando,Ma’69, PhD’78 couldn’t be in a betterplace. a professor of curriculum, instruction,educational leadership and policy studiesat arizona state University, ovando enjoysa rich laboratory of data virtually in his frontyard. his primary research focus is factorsthat contribute to the academic achievementof language minority and ethnically diversestudents. Because of what’s happeningin arizona now, he’s studying such factors onthe other side of the U.s.-Mexican border.In June, the arizona legislature passedand the governor signed arizona senatebill 1070, known as the “support our LawEnforcement and safe Neighborhoods act.”championed by supporters of crackingdown on illegal immigrants, it requires anyimmigrant 14 and older in the country forlonger than 30 days to register with thefederal government. those aliens must carrydocuments at all times. Failure to registeror lacking proper documents can bring apunishment from $100 and 20 days in jailfor a first offense to 30 days detention for asecond offense. critics call the law draconianand a measure that institutionalizes racialprofiling by law enforcement.ovando said the law is having an effectin Mexico few have really considered. “theMexican government has identified thestates that export a lot of Mexicans to theU.s. in large numbers,” ovando said. “If yougo to these towns, you see mostly womenand older people, sometimes children; butthe men are here (in the U.s.).” Families thathad been raising their children in the Unitedstates have split, leaving the men on theU.s. side to earn money, fearing if they goto Mexico they’ll never be able to return.Largely U.s.-educated students are turningup in larger numbers in Mexican schools.“this is a brand-new dynamic,” ovandosaid. “What we discovered is that theMexican system is not prepared to deal withthese kids.”through his work in the school of trans-border studies at arizona state, ovando islooking into these problems resulting fromthe stiff legislation. students who may beculturally american are returning to Mexicanschools — if they can get in (school is notfree and compulsory in Mexico) — andstruggling. “historically, if you left Mexicofor the U.s., instead of seeing you as sort ofan economic warrior or somebody out theredoing the best you can to help your people,you were kind of put down by those whostay,” ovando said. as a result, the bi-culturalstudents are often shunned in their homecountry — just as they have been turnedaway by the U.s. ovando is now researchingthe the plight of these students. “We’rearguing that these kids should be valued forthe cultural capital they bring,” he said.ovando is aware of the struggles a newstudent can face in a new land and thereason cultural capital should be valued.as a pre-teen, he moved from his nativeNicaragua to Middlebury, Indiana, a hamlettucked between angola and Elkhart in farnorthern Indiana, just south of the Michiganstate line. among his first experiencesas a native spanish-speaking 12 year oldwas receiving a paddling in the principal’soffice for speaking spanish during class. hisfather, once the chaplain to the Nicaraguanpresident, sent ovando to Bethany christianhigh school in goshen, spurred to make themove after ovando said a member of hischurch reported him hanging out at a localpool hall.the positive influence of an educator witha different viewpoint made the difference.“I found a teacher who really appreciatedme and respected what I had linguistically,”ovando said. he remembers the teacher— rosemary Wise — fondly for recognizinghis potential. “It was my first momentthat sort of sparked my interest in the worldof ideas,” he said. soon after, he earnedthe second-highest score on a statewidespanish test. scholarship offers arrivedfor college, leading him to attend IndianaUniversity Bloomington for master’s and PhDwork. ovando received a PhD in curriculum,instruction and international comparativeeducation in 1975, a master’s degree inLatin american studies and political sciencein 1973, and a master of arts in teaching inspanish in 1969 at IUB.Carlos Ovandoafter completing his doctorate, ovandojoined the faculty at the University of alaskain anchorage, then went to the Universityof southern california and oregon stateUniversity. then ovando said he got a callfrom IU school of Education faculty memberNorman overly, his dissertation director. “hesaid ‘come back home,” ovando said. sohe joined the faculty in the department ofcurriculum and instruction, eventually risingto become chair. “It was a very sweet and affirmingkind of experience for me,” he said.“It allowed me to think freely here, unfetteredby a lot of things.”after distinguishing himself as IU faculty,earning two teaching excellence awardsfrom the school of Education, ovandojoined arizona state in 2001. there he hasdistinguished himself through his researchon the effects of globalization on educationreform. he’s worked on several internationalprojects, including serving as a consultant ina cooperative initiative between Mexico andthe U.s. to promote the teaching of Englishin Mexican public schools.the rise to distinguished professor andresearcher from Nicaraguan immigrant isone of the reasons the Indiana UniversityLatino alumni association awarded himwith the Distinguished Latino alumni awardin october. “Dr. ovando exemplifies thepotential of what IU graduates can achieve,”said gavin Mariano, of the Latino alumniassociation. “his commitment to educationand support for the Latino community,among other factors, made him a perfectfit for what the Distinguished Latino alumniaward stands for.”ovando credited his IU experience withgiving him the start. “I was a full-time studentin every one of the programs that I didhere, so I felt privileged to be able to sortof incubate in Bloomington,” he said. “It’s anice nesting environment.”Chalkboard • 13

News BriefsGrant supports PBL research, IUPUI faculty and staffsupport technology useThe U.S. Department of Education hasselected the Indiana University School ofEducation to receive $749,853 to createa teacher education curriculum supportingproblem-based learning (PBL).The unique program called “PBL-TECH:Using Web 2.0 Tools and Resources toSupport Problem-Based Curricular Innovationsin Pre-Service Teacher Education,”will partner IU with the Auburn UniversityCollege of Education and the College ofEducation at New Mexico State Universityover the next three years. The project’s goalis to increase new teachers’ ability to usethe latest technology with problem-basedlearning techniques at the three institutions,while establishing the latest teachinginnovations in the programs and then disseminatingthose resources and strategiesin different parts of the country.“We thought that synergy and collaborationof three institutions in disparate areasof the country focusing on three differentteaching populations would really strengthenthe grant proposal,” said Thomas Brush,associate dean for teacher education andassociate professor of instructional systemstechnology at the IU School of Education.“We were looking to expand the reach ofthis to a broader audience throughout thecountry.”Middle schools across the countryare suspending children with alarmingfrequency, particularly in some large urbanschool districts, where a third or more oftheir black male students are suspended ina given year, according to a study release inSeptember by education researchers DanielJ. Losen of the Civil Rights Project andRussell Skiba, director of the Equity Projectat Indiana University, and distributed by theSouthern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).Skiba directs the Equity Project at IndianaUniversity’s Center for Evaluation andEducation Policy (CEEP) in the IU Schoolof Education. Losen is a senior educationlaw and policy associate at the Civil RightsProject at the University of California LosAngeles.The study found that African-Americanchildren are suspended far more frequentlythan white children in middle school, causingthem to miss valuable class time duringa crucial period in their academic and socialdevelopment.Russ SkibaIn a national sample of more than 9,000middle schools, 28.3 percent of black males,on average, were suspended at least onceduring a school year, nearly three timesthe 10 percent rate for white males. Blackfemales were suspended more than fourtimes as often as white females (18 percentvs. 4 percent). For all students in the schoolsexamined, the suspension rate was 11.2 percent.Hispanic males faced a 16.3 percentrisk of suspension.A recently-published report on bestpractices in “internationalizing” teachereducation noted the Cultural ImmersionProjects at the Indiana University Schoolof Education as an innovative programamong three profiled. “Internationalizationof Teacher Education: Three Case Studies”is a publication of NAFSA: Association ofInternational Educators written by CharlotteWest.Cultural Immersion Projects in KenyaWest noted that around a quarter ofall IU School of Education undergraduatestudents participate, and it’s the thirdlargeststudy abroad program on the IUcampus.”As new teachers graduate fromschools of education, their task is not onlyto adopt a global perspective in their instruction,but also to transfer that awarenessto their own K-12 students,” West wrote.The Cultural Immersion Project’s OverseasProject sends student teachers througha rigorous program, including a preparatoryphase spanning at least two semesters, followedby a minimum of 10 weeks of studentteaching in Indiana. Students then travelabroad for eight weeks of full-time teachingin a host-nation school, coupled with communityparticipation, cultural study, servicelearning and academic reporting. Studentscan choose from 15 countries, ranging indiversity from Australia to Turkey to Walesto Ecuador.Faculty and staff from the IU Schoolof Education at IUPUI spent three daysin Shelbyville in early June to cap off afew months of working with teachersto more effectively use technology.

In the firsttwo-page edition in 1951, Dean Wendell Wright wrote that it would come out “semi-occasionally.”“We’ll tell you what we are doing,” he concluded. the first issue also included a note aboutthe just-forming IU school of Education alumni association. Chalkboard evolved into a magazineformat by 1980.While the actual teaching technology the magazine is named for is now rarely used—the IUschool of Education buildings have almost no chalkboards—the name remains on our magazine.For six decades, our graduates have received the publication they’ve known as Chalkboard. Muchof the 102-year history of the IU school of Education has been well-preserved in its pages. thename should remind us that we are continuing to build upon the achievements of those whocame before.28 • Chalkboard

Around 150 participated in the second annual JRDA program, a summer program to promote math,science, teamwork and other skills created by Jomo Mutegi, associate professor of science education, and Crystal Hill, assistantprofessor of math education at the IU School of Education in Indianapolis.The four-week camp at six Indianapolis community centers involved between 15 and nearly 40 youths from 4th through 6thgrade. The participants participated in a role play as rocket building “cadets,” each assigned particular roles as they built rocketsfrom kits. Examining the data from different designs and alternative engines, the teams extrapolated the model rocket informationto figure out what they’d need to consider when building a rocket to actual scale.
