Dean’s PerspectiveOur alumni continue to impressby Gerardo M. Gonzalez, Dean, <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>eric rudd“...a wonderfultestimony to ourfaculty and quality<strong>of</strong> students.”Every fall, we have wonderfulopportunities to celebrate ouroutstanding alumni. It’s an annualtradition that’s never tiring. We think theexcellence <strong>of</strong> our institution is very muchreflected by the achievements <strong>of</strong> ouralumni. This fall was a particularly finereflection.In the early fall, we always hold the<strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>’s DistinguishedAlumni Award ceremony, honoringalumni nominated because they haveespecially made a mark in their fields. Soas you can see on (p.10), this year’s groupis exceptionally well versed in leadershipfor both higher and secondary educationas well as educational technology.Then there is what has been an Octobertradition—well, for the last two yearsanyway—when one <strong>of</strong> our alumni isselected as <strong>Indiana</strong>’s Teacher <strong>of</strong> the Year(p. 7). This year, Huntington’s MelaniePark BS’93, MS’01, became the secondconsecutive alumna to earn the award(with <strong>Indiana</strong>polis teacher Lisa Steele,MS’96, a finalist this year as well).You may recall last October that StacyMcCormack, BS’99, <strong>of</strong> Mishawaka wasthe Teacher <strong>of</strong> the Year and Jamil Odom,MS’05, <strong>of</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong>polis was namedrunner-up. In fact, since the program’sinception in 1968, 20 IU alumni havebeen recipients <strong>of</strong> this incredible award.We place superb teachers across thecountry, but this recognition is a wonderfultestimony to our faculty and the quality<strong>of</strong> teachers we place in our home state.And in this issue <strong>of</strong> <strong>Chalkboard</strong>, you’llread about another outstanding graduate,Sarah McVey, BS’11, who took advantage<strong>of</strong> our award-winning Cultural ImmersionProjects by teaching at the ChristelHouse Academy in India and cameback more than just impressed by herexperience (p. 6). In fact, her school inBangalore was so taken with her that they<strong>of</strong>fered her a teaching contract to returnas a faculty member in August. She is nowteaching on the other side <strong>of</strong> the world,where she helped create a first-<strong>of</strong>-its-kindspecial education program at the school.Of course, we are also responsible forproducing some <strong>of</strong> the top leaders ineducation. IU recently recognized one <strong>of</strong>those, Sue Talbot, BS’66, MS’71, EdD’92,IU presented her with its DistinguishedAlumni Service Award in November(p.4), recognizing her long career thatincludes service as an IU trustee andrecognition as 1978 <strong>Indiana</strong> Teacher <strong>of</strong>the Year and a 1984 <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>Distinguished Alumni Award recipient.To our north, Carole Ames, MS’68 whogot her start here working both with educationalpsychology and student servicespersonnel faculty, has just retired aftera long and distinguished tenure leadingthe Michigan State <strong>University</strong> College <strong>of</strong><strong>Education</strong> (p. 17).The reason we have so many outstandingalumni is because <strong>of</strong> the outstandingwork <strong>of</strong> our faculty, the innovative nature<strong>of</strong> our programs, and the continuing support<strong>of</strong> our alumni and friends. The coverstory <strong>of</strong> this issue focuses on how weare looking forward as the InstructionalSystems Technology department, longaccustomed to leading change with thelatest developments, gears up for its latestmove into the future (p. 14). Apropos <strong>of</strong>its history <strong>of</strong> thinking ahead, it is the firstIU program to <strong>of</strong>fer a doctorate degreeentirely online.So, I hope this issue <strong>of</strong> <strong>Chalkboard</strong>gives you a sense <strong>of</strong> pride. We certainlyare very proud to share the achievements<strong>of</strong> our alumni with you and show howwe’re preparing the next generation <strong>of</strong>educational leaders.<strong>Chalkboard</strong> • 1


HighlightsFaculty honored with Fulbright, national social studies council awardsThe U.S. State department and the J.William Fulbright Foreign ScholarshipBoard selected two IU <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>faculty members for Fulbright Specialistawards this summer and fall. Both pr<strong>of</strong>essorsare consulting in countries hoping t<strong>of</strong>urther develop higher education after atumultuous history.Vasti Torres, pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> educationalleadership and policy studies and director<strong>of</strong> IU’s center for Postsecondary research,spent 21 daysin South Africain late Septemberand earlyOctober.RobertArnove, chancellor’sPr<strong>of</strong>essoremeritus and aleading scholar<strong>of</strong> comparative Vasti Torresand internationaleducation,completed threeweeks <strong>of</strong> work inArgentina in July.The selectionsare just a yearafter Arnove,the Victor M.H.Borden Pr<strong>of</strong>essor<strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>al Robert ArnoveLeadership andPolicy Studies, spent time working as aFulbright Specialist last fall, also in SouthAfrica.Torres was based at <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> theFree State in Bloemfontein, located inthe central part <strong>of</strong> South Africa, but alsodelivered presentations at other placesacross the country and presented a keynoteaddress to the South African councilon Higher <strong>Education</strong>, focusing on issues<strong>of</strong> student success. She spent much <strong>of</strong> hertime working with researchers on developinglong-term studies on college studentexperiences and development. The <strong>University</strong><strong>of</strong> the Free State submitted a Fulbrightgrant request for Torres to return after shevisited South Africa last year to speak ondiversity and student development issues.“While I was there, I realized that theywere using U.S. theories—old U.S. theories,”Torres said, regarding how SouthAfrican institutions were examining studentsuccess. “I made the comment that I hadsome concerns about their use <strong>of</strong> U.S.theories, because the context was just sovastly different. They need to create theirown understanding about their studentsand not just use theories from outsideSouth Africa.”Arnove returned to Argentina thissummer at the request <strong>of</strong> the National<strong>University</strong> Tres de Febrero in Buenos Aires.Arnove has frequently worked with Argentineinstitutions over the last 15 years,four times serving as the UNEScO chairin Higher <strong>Education</strong> at Palermo <strong>University</strong>and helping to found the Argentinecomparative <strong>Education</strong> society. during hisFulbright Specialist program, Arnove delivereda conference paper and a separateseminar on comparative education; helpedwith the preparation for the XV World congress<strong>of</strong> comparative <strong>Education</strong> Societies,which will be held in Buenos Aires in June2013; and mentored graduate students ontheir theses and dissertations, somethinghe did during his previous appointments.Arnove said working with the graduatestudents was particularly important to helpbuild higher education faculty in Argentina,where military rule in past decadesstifled growth. “Some <strong>of</strong> them were formeruniversity presidents and university deans,but because <strong>of</strong> the military dictatorship,they’d been in exile or in jail,” he said.“So now they’re coming back to get theirdegrees.”Arnove has won numerous service andteaching awards from IU and has servedas a visiting scholar in many countries,including china, Spain, the dominicanrepublic and Brazil. He is the author <strong>of</strong> TalentAbounds: Pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>of</strong> Master Teachersand Peak Performers, a book detailing howthe best teachers in disciplines rangingfrom music to mathematics to culinary artsconduct their work to produce the topperformers in their fields.The National council for the SocialStudies (NcSS) has awarded MarilynneBoyle-Baise, pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> curriculum andinstruction,with its 2011Jean dresdenGrambs careerresearch inSocial StudiesAward. Theaward recognizesresearcherswho havemade extensiveMarilynne Boyle-Baisecontributions toknowledge concerning significant areas <strong>of</strong>social studies education.“I’m honored and thrilled,” Boyle-Baisesaid. “I know that there are a lot <strong>of</strong> colleagueswho do research on a very highcaliber, and I’m honored to be consideredamong that group.”The honor from the NccS is named forpioneering social studies researcher Jeandresden Grambs, who was among the firstto show that American textbooks discriminatedagainst female children. It adds tothe recognition honors Boyle-Baise haspreviously received for her outstandingwork, including being named a John GlennScholar in Service Learning, a nationalrecognition <strong>of</strong> service learning scholarshipthat advances the field. It is awarded toone or two scholars annually by The OhioState <strong>University</strong>.“The award is essentially about extensivecontributions to the field <strong>of</strong> socialstudies education and, for Lynne, thereare many,” said Shaun Johnson, assistantpr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> elementary education atTowson State <strong>University</strong>. Johnson is a formergraduate student <strong>of</strong> Boyle-Baise whonominated her for the award.“Several <strong>of</strong> her colleagues stepped forwardon relatively short notice to lend theirsupport. I was pleased to read <strong>of</strong> her manycontributions from other scholars in thefield, some <strong>of</strong> which I was only learning asI read,” Johnson said. “For me, however,another reason for the nomination waspersonal. Lynne has this amazing abilityto treat those under her tutelage as colleagues,giving as many ideas as she takes.I will always consider her a close friend andwas happy to nominate her for the award.”A member <strong>of</strong> the <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>IU MEdIA rELATIONS, cHUck cArNEy, ANd LyNNE BOyLE-BAISE2 • <strong>Chalkboard</strong>


Second consecutive alumna named<strong>Indiana</strong> Teacher<strong>of</strong> the Yearseeks to be memorableto studentsHuntington’s Melanie Park, BS’93, MS’01,brings creativity to the classroomGetting many students to learn <strong>of</strong>tenmeans reaching them where they live.For <strong>Indiana</strong>’s <strong>2012</strong> Teacher <strong>of</strong> the year,it’s a creative challenge she relishes.“I’m always looking for ways to hook theirmemories—I call them ‘memory hooks,’”Melanie Park said. Park learned in a surpriseassembly at riverview Middle <strong>School</strong> inHuntington on Oct. 10 that she had earnedthe Teacher <strong>of</strong> the year honor. A readingremediation teacher for grades six througheight, Park has developed her memory hooksas something that will appeal to a middleschooler.“I do things like write raps to help themremember how to structure their paragraphs,”she said. She recently provided an example<strong>of</strong> writing a simile with a sentence describingdirty skin “as smelly as SPAM,” referringto the gelatinous, pink pork-derived productavailable in a can. While some may considerit a delicacy, many describe it as having asmell much like moist cat food. For her class,Park opened her own can <strong>of</strong> the meat and letevery student who wished get a good whiff.“And the nice thing about middle school isyou can be really crazy like that, and the kidslove it,” Park said. “So I do bring a lot <strong>of</strong> thatcreativity into my classroom just to be surethat they remember.” The point—rememberingthe power <strong>of</strong> a simile, pungent as a SPAMcan with a freshly peeled-back lid.An effective teacher is one that willcertainly be memorable, a fact the stateschools superintendent noted in awarding thisyear’s Teacher <strong>of</strong> the year. “(Park) believes allstudents—regardless <strong>of</strong> their life circumstances—canlearn,” said Tony Bennett, <strong>Indiana</strong>’sSuperintendent <strong>of</strong> Public Instruction in anews release from the <strong>Indiana</strong> department <strong>of</strong><strong>Education</strong>. “And she is aneffective and inspirationalteacher that her studentswill always remember.”Park said being ateacher who can make an Melanie Parkimpression is important inher classroom, where studentsmay be as much as three grade levelsbehind in reading. “I need for my students togrow multiple grade levels in one year to getthem caught up, especially before they go tohigh school,” she said.Preparation with multiple grade levels hashelped Park. “Every experience I’ve had inteaching has led me to this position,” shesaid, “and I really feel like I’m now where I’mtruly called to be.” Park started teaching firstgrade, moved to sixth grade and coordinatedgifted and talented curriculum for firstthrough fifth grades. She said she learned thedifferent techniques needed at each level,the specialized teaching needed for someand the proper uses <strong>of</strong> data to gauge studentprogress. “It’s been wonderful to look backon how each <strong>of</strong> those experiences helped meevery day in my classroom.”In earning the award, Park joined a distinguishedlist <strong>of</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong> Teachers <strong>of</strong> the yearwith IU <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> backgrounds,such as last year’s recipient, Stacy Mccormack,BS’99, a physics teacher at Penn High<strong>School</strong> in Mishawaka, Ind. Last year’s runnerupfor the honor was also an IU alumnus,Jamil Odom, MS‘05, <strong>of</strong> Mary Bryan Elementaryin Metropolitan <strong>School</strong> district <strong>of</strong> PerryTownship. This year’s finalists also includedIU <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> alumna Lisa Steele,MS‘96, an eighth grade language arts teacherat Eastwood Middle <strong>School</strong> in the M.S.d. <strong>of</strong>Washington Township. Overall, Park is among20 <strong>Indiana</strong> teachers <strong>of</strong> the year holding an IU<strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> degree.Park’s connection to the <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>runs even deeper. Her husband, StephenPark, earned a biology education degreeat the <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> in 1994 and wasnamed an Armstrong Teacher Educator in2000. The Armstrong program recognizesoutstanding <strong>Indiana</strong> teachers every year whoparticipate in pr<strong>of</strong>essional development andother programs at IU.“IU gave me a well-rounded curriculum,”Park said. “IU made sure that I understoodmy content area well. It also did a wonderfuljob <strong>of</strong> teaching me the instructional practicesI need.” Park noted several lessons shedraws upon from her IU experience, includingpromoting diversity in a classroom wheremost <strong>of</strong> the students look mostly alike, dealingwith discipline issues and designing creativeinstruction. “I really entered teaching understandingexactly what would be expected <strong>of</strong>me and how to develop curriculum, but it alsogave me the content area knowledge to feelconfident doing that.”Hear fromMelanie Park inthis video.<strong>Chalkboard</strong> • 7


Second year <strong>of</strong> IUPUI Ghanateaching project produces“life-changing” experiencesDawn Whitehead (R)Darci Speakman (L) with studentsPerhaps one <strong>of</strong> the best tributes to thesuccess <strong>of</strong> the relatively new crosscultural<strong>Education</strong> Program in Ghanacomes from the story <strong>of</strong> a student who had ahard time with the cross-cultural part.dawn Whitehead, director <strong>of</strong> curriculuminternationalization at IUPUI and adjunct assistantpr<strong>of</strong>essor for the <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>,heads the program and tells any potentialparticipant that the differences between thecultures can be stark. One IUPUI student, inparticular, had a hard time with the sometimesAmerican-perceived stern mannerGhanaian teachers handled their pupils andthe independence they granted them duringunsupervised breaks. Whitehead recalled itwas a constant point <strong>of</strong> discussion duringnightly debriefings with program participants.“you wouldn’t think she would have aninterest in going abroad again,” Whiteheadsaid. “I think in October, she wrote to meand said, ‘do you have any information onhow I could find a job teaching internationally?’”That <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> alumna isnow teaching in chile.So after just two years, the cross-cultural<strong>Education</strong> Program in Ghana is influencingteachers both at home and abroad. Thesecond group <strong>of</strong> participants traveled toteach in the Morning Star <strong>School</strong> in Accralast summer. The IUPUI program is opento all majors, but is a <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>program that seeks education students toteach, earning credit for an “educationalfoundations” course. In the k–9 school, the<strong>Indiana</strong> students work with Morning Starfaculty in teaching classes, assisting in othersand generally working in the school overthe course <strong>of</strong> three weeks.“The main goal is for participants tohave an experience working with students,other colleagues <strong>of</strong> a different culture andlearning how those differences make iteasier and how those differences make ittougher,” Whitehead said. “In our globalizedworld, we know that our students—even in classrooms in <strong>Indiana</strong>—are going towork with students from all over the world.So this gives them a leg up.”Before leaving the country, studentsat IUPUI must participate in orientationsessions to help prepare them for theimportant cultural differences. Whiteheadsaid that preparation followed by the onsiteexperience gives them an importantgrounding for their teaching, particularlygiven the rise in immigrant populations inmany school districts. “They have to learnhow to communicate, understand thosenuances <strong>of</strong> interacting,” she said. “One <strong>of</strong>the main goals is preparing them for that. Ithelps them have a better insight into some<strong>of</strong> their students who are coming into theUnited States.”“Going to Ghana was one <strong>of</strong> the mostamazing experiences I have ever had,” saiddarci Speakman, an art education major.Whitehead said Speakman’s experience, inparticular, allowed her to explore how Ghanaianteachers differentiate between their“arts” and “arts and crafts” curricula. “Itprovided me with a sense <strong>of</strong> Global Awareness,gave me a heart for people living inother countries and helped me to appreciateeven more all that I have here in thestates,” Speakman added. “I loved gettingto know david and Israel, the two teachers Iworked with. during my time with these twoteachers, they introduced me to new ways <strong>of</strong>thinking, new foods and an entirely differentculture. They also spent time showing mecreative ways to work with new art materials.Ghana was amazing. I can’t wait to goback.”“The program enabled me to be immersedinto an entirely different culture thatI was able to live and teach in,” said rossBrinkoetter. He was so taken with the experiencein 2010 that he returned last summer.“The Morning Star <strong>School</strong> administrationtreated me like a son, and the staff treatedme like an equal,” he said. “The happiest <strong>of</strong>the many happy moments <strong>of</strong> the experiencewas when we had lunch with the administrationand staff, and I walked toward mystudents’ class to say my farewells. As soonas one student saw me, they began shoutingmy name, and all <strong>of</strong> the students left theirclasses and came to greet me. I felt like arock Star!”And while it may be immediately clearor simply something that becomes so afterreturning home, Whitehead said she hearsfrom students what an impact it’s had onthem.“Many <strong>of</strong> them have emailed and said‘this changed my life,’” Whitehead said.8 • <strong>Chalkboard</strong>


Program exposes teachers,youth to “critical” languagesA Startalk session at a Bloomington parkOver the summer in Bloomington, studentsin community summer programswere surprised and excited about the handsonactivities in the non-traditional languagelearning courses in which they participated.These activities included making a freshMiddle Eastern salad, shopping in an Egyptianmarket, exchanging money and studyingtraditional art and culture. The children hadfun while becoming more culturally awareand acquiring new language skills.In fact, the pay<strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> a tasty Arabic-stylesalad was quite an incentive for students involvedin the “STArTALk” summer programsat several community sites including theBanneker center, the Monroe county PublicLibrary and Girls, Inc. Martha Nyikos, associatepr<strong>of</strong>essor in the Literacy, culture andLanguage <strong>Education</strong> department, directedthe summer program funded by a federalSTArTALk grant. STArTALk formed aroundfive years ago with the goal <strong>of</strong> increasingthe number <strong>of</strong> Americans learning, speakingand teaching what the government terms as“critical need” foreign languages.“The thrust <strong>of</strong> this program was to trainpotential teachers who speak Arabic orTurkish how to teach youngsters from 3 to12 years <strong>of</strong> age to engage with the languagein meaningful ways and to interest teachersin graduate certification programs as well,”Nyikos said.Nyikos’ project focused on teaching Turkishand Arabic (other STArTALk projects onthe IU campus during the summer focusedon chinese, Hindi and Urdu) and attractedparticipants from across the country. The 12instructors were a diverse group that includedteachers, graduate students and pre-serviceteachers from as far away as New york andWisconsin. The instructors began the programwith coursework online before meeting inBloomington for a three-week campus residencyprogram.Nyikos’ grant is unique among theSTArTALk grants in its focus on developmentalneeds <strong>of</strong> teaching children anotherlanguage at such an early age (pre k–6) andits promotion <strong>of</strong> language program advocacyin other communities. Each participant wasto leave with a plan to start a community languageprogram similar to the existing Bridges:children, Languages, World project sponsoredby the center for the Study <strong>of</strong> Globalchange at IU. Nyikos is the Bridges pedagogicalcoordinator and partners with the center,which in turn partners with several languagedepartments and Title VI centers on campus toprovide volunteers to teach languages in freecommunity programs. In particular, the new IUcenter for the Study <strong>of</strong> the Middle East participatedin this grant project through two instructorswho worked in language focus groupsto ensure linguistic and cultural authenticityin teaching and materials design. curriculummaterials are now being posted to a Web sitefor free access.The key element during the residency wasthe twice-weekly community center teachingsessions, during which teachers would go toone <strong>of</strong> the designated sites to conduct theirlessons. “We knew that teaching in unstructured,fluid community environments wouldchallenge any seasoned language teacher,”Nyikos said. “But the special challenges metby our STArTALk grant teachers functioned tobring a very special brand <strong>of</strong> collaboration tothe teaching sites.”As is natural in a free summer program, kidswould come and go during the sessions andthere might be a wide age range within thegroup. “The participants collaborated in theirdaily lesson planning to make lessons engaging,interactive, hands-on and linguistically richand culturally informative,” Nyikos said.That was part <strong>of</strong> the point, according toNyikos. The program was designed to be“site responsive,” meaning the teacherswould use strategies to handle the demands<strong>of</strong> what types <strong>of</strong> students they had, thefacilities where they were conducting thesessions (one was at a park picnic shelter) andeach agency’s expectations for the groups<strong>of</strong> youngsters. The teachers created lessonplans that revolved around culturally centeredthemes, which included ethnic food, localmarkets and currency, and traditional folk artsuch as ornate Turkish tiles. Teachers gainedkey teaching insights through collaboratingwith their peers and sharing which languagelearning activities particularly engaged theirstudents. “Many students learned how to bargainat an Arabic market using local currency,locate key cities in Turkey and use an Arabicgrocery list while shopping. The childrenparticularly enjoyed designing a passport inwhich they received a stamp each time theysuccessfully used Arabic,” Nyikos said.One <strong>of</strong> the teachers said that was the bestaspect <strong>of</strong> the program. “I was a teacher for16 years,” said Heidi Torres <strong>of</strong> Goshen, Ind.“The reality is a lot <strong>of</strong> teaching is about whathappens when you finally get to the classroom.It’s ‘OTJ’—it’s totally ‘on the job.’ Andso you find out, ‘oh yeah, that theory soundsgreat in a book but it works very differently inreal life.’”Both teachers and students walked awaywith valuable skills from the summer experience.“These languages aren’t commonlytaught in schools,” Nyikos said. “With theconstant cutting in funding, the children don’t<strong>of</strong>ten have an opportunity to learn a foreignlanguage—let alone languages outside theIndo-European language family. Many <strong>of</strong> thechildren and site supervisors were fascinated.The children enjoyed the challenge<strong>of</strong> learning through a new language and feltempowered by being able to say things in adifferent language.”<strong>Chalkboard</strong> • 11


News BriefsProjects touch afghanistan, turkey, armenia; first Jacobs educators GroupIn advance <strong>of</strong> a new project about to startin Kabul, Afghanistan, the chancellor <strong>of</strong>Kabul <strong>Education</strong> <strong>University</strong> came to the<strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>University</strong> Bloomington campusSept. 5–9 to visit with IU President MichaelMcRobbie, faculty from the IU <strong>School</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> and staff at the Center forSocial Studies and International <strong>Education</strong>(CSSIE). The U.S. State department recentlyawarded cSSIE nearly $3.5 million to developand implement a master’s degree in Englishlanguage teaching at kabul <strong>Education</strong><strong>University</strong>.Following a week <strong>of</strong> discussion aboutproject plans and possibilities, chancellorAmanullah Hamidzai expressed greatconfidence about the new project when askedabout what he had hoped to accomplish.“It’s not a hope—we have accomplished itbecause our partnership will go on for themaster’s in TESOL (Teachers <strong>of</strong> English toSpeakers <strong>of</strong> Other Languages),” he said. “So,we got a commitment from the president, acommitment from the department and wehave established quite a lot <strong>of</strong> infrastructure.So, in March, we will start the program.”The State department grant is $3,487,454for a three-year project directed by two IU<strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> faculty members. TerryMason, pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> curriculum and instructionand director <strong>of</strong> cSSIE, and Mitzi Lewison,pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> literacy, culture and languageeducation, have been involved in Afghanhigher education for several years. The newproject will build on the previous work, whichestablished the first master’s degree <strong>of</strong>feringin education at kabul <strong>Education</strong> <strong>University</strong>and brought Afghan educators to IU forfurther study. representatives from the Statedepartment as well as Afghanistan-basedprogram manager for the IU project JerradLanglois were also in Bloomington for theweek <strong>of</strong> meetings.With that track record and what he knows<strong>of</strong> IU faculty, Hamidzai said he’s confident <strong>of</strong>his institution’s future. “I found them (faculty)very enthusiastic, very interested and it seemsto me they have an objective to do somethingthere,” he said. “I think things will go verywell.”A group <strong>of</strong> 50 teachers—25 each fromTurkey and Armenia—spent six weeks onthe <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>University</strong> Bloomington campusas part <strong>of</strong> a U.S. Embassy-sponsoredprogram to help the teachers learn newtechniques for the classroom and new ideasfor diplomacy. The Turkish–Armenian SummerTeaching Institute was another project <strong>of</strong>cSSIE with the participation <strong>of</strong> IUPUI’S centerfor Urban and Multicultural <strong>Education</strong> (cUME).The focus was largely on how to help theteachers bring more student-centered learningto their classrooms. All were middle and highschool English teachers in either Armeniaor Turkey. Embedded in the pr<strong>of</strong>essionaldevelopment institute was a goal <strong>of</strong> allowingeducators from countries with a long history <strong>of</strong>strained relations to learn about each other.Turkish and Armenian teachers present aproject before the group.“We just hope that they learn to livetogether, to communicate with one anotherand to appreciate each other as they developpersonal and pr<strong>of</strong>essional relationships,” saidMason.The project came to IU after a successfulbid for a project sought by the U.S. Embassies<strong>of</strong> Turkey and Armenia. The embassies wanteda program that would both show how currentapproaches to English language teaching canbe used to develop critical thinking skills andbuild tolerance among adolescent students.After getting the project bid, Mason, cSSIEassociate director Arlene Benitez and robHelfenbein, associate pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> curriculumstudies at the IU <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> in <strong>Indiana</strong>polis,traveled to the countries briefly to geta better idea <strong>of</strong> the teaching environments <strong>of</strong>the project participants.The peoples <strong>of</strong> Turkey and Armenia haveendured a centuries-old conflict, and the governments<strong>of</strong> each nation do not have formaldiplomatic relations. Within the walls <strong>of</strong> IU,participants were more than simply diplomatic.“We started here as two groups: a Turkishgroup and an Armenian group,” said Turkishteacher Alper Etyemez. “Now we have turnedinto a single group. Thereis no Turkish group orArmenian group; we are alltogether.”you can hear morefrom the teachers and see See a featuremore about the program video on thein a short video on the IUTurkish-Armenianteaching institute.<strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> Vimeochannel: http://vimeo.com/iusoe/turkish-armenianinstitute.The <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>will benefit from two gifts from theestates <strong>of</strong> noted <strong>Indiana</strong> artist and teacherLavon Whitmire, BA’29, and educationleader Dorothy Prince Barnett, EdD’62.

A bigfirst for <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>University</strong>from the <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>’sinstructional systemstechnology departmentmore online <strong>of</strong>ferings, continuing spread <strong>of</strong> influence for the programcomputers and electronic instruction are such athing <strong>of</strong> the present, it’s hard to remember whenit wasn’t a part <strong>of</strong> education in the past.It’s something chair <strong>of</strong> the IU <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>’sInstructional Systems Technology (IST) departmentTed Frick can certainly recall. When he joined the IST facultyin 1983, the department was seeking simply “a computerperson,” Frick said. “They were looking for somebody whocould do something with a computer curriculum.”Until that time, students at the IU <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>had just a little exposure to computer-assisted education,mainly through the PLATO terminals—boxy, plasma-screendevices that ran educational programs from a networkedmainframe computer. But in the early ’80s, the Apple II wasemerging and the IBM personal computer was beginningto take hold in the market. Frick arrived with the chargeto create a curriculum for IST on teaching and learningwith computers.“We were dealing then with adults who hadn’t grown upwith computers, so we really had to start at the beginning,”Frick recalled about his course, computers in <strong>Education</strong>. “Iremember telling a group <strong>of</strong> teachers in a summer class, ‘Idon’t mean to insult you, but the stuff I’m teaching you, it’sgoing to be taught in the fourth grade before you know it.’And it’s now true.”Indeed, the basics taught then are undoubtedly secondnatureto an elementary school student today. And theIST “computer curriculum” is much smarter than a fourthgrader.In August, <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>University</strong> and the IST departmentmade history when the <strong>Indiana</strong> commission for Higher<strong>Education</strong> gave its approval for a completely online doctorate.The doctor <strong>of</strong> education degree (Edd) in IST is the firstIU doctorate <strong>of</strong>fered completely online. The Edd online<strong>of</strong>fers the same content as the on-site degree program butallows many more opportunities for working pr<strong>of</strong>essionalsand others to earn the degree.“The IST program has an outstanding international reputationfor quality and innovation,” <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> deanGerardo Gonzalez said when the program approval came.“Our graduates are employed in leadership positions in avariety <strong>of</strong> settings throughout the world. The new onlinedegree will make available a program with a proven trackrecord to people we could not have reached otherwise. It is,in itself, an application <strong>of</strong> the innovative teaching for whichour faculty is known.”And the program builds upon the department’sstrengths, touching education in a variety <strong>of</strong> ways. Thedepartment’s longtime slogan is “We improve human learningand performance in diverse contexts.” The work faculty,staff and students conduct proves it. The IST departmentprepares practitioners and researchers to build and testprocesses, products, systems and services for use in educationand workplace settings. That preparation allows themto conduct analysis, design, development, evaluation andimplementation and management. research crosses disciplinesand focuses on theories for instructional design andworkplace learning and performance improvement.Edd students, online and in-person, will learn to applythese theories to solve practical problems. They will learnresearch skills to conduct needs analyses, do formative evaluationand usability testing, and measure learning achievementand improvement <strong>of</strong> human performance on the job.“The program will prepare people to go out into thefield,” Frick said. “They could be in a variety <strong>of</strong> roles andsettings—not just k–12, but corporate, business andindustry, government, military, nonpr<strong>of</strong>its, and schools anduniversities. We expect our Edd graduates to be managersand leaders to help organizations solve problems—whetherthey’re instructional problems or human performance problemswhere instruction is not needed.”If that sounds broad, it’s intended to be. That’s preciselythe value graduates have found in the IST program. “What Ilearned from this department is not just a small perspective14 • <strong>Chalkboard</strong>

A past vice president <strong>of</strong> the korean Societyfor <strong>Education</strong>al Technology and past president <strong>of</strong> the koreanSociety for Learning and Performance, he researchesmany areas including distance education, e-learning andsupport systems for creativity. He visited his old campus recentlyto deliver a talk on the move toward digital textbooksin korea. “They emphasize the broad context,” Lim said<strong>of</strong> the <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> IST faculty. “It is not just aboutusing technology itself, but how we use technology in terms<strong>of</strong> designing or in terms <strong>of</strong> using technology for educationpurposes.”That’s a tone set some time back by the faculty. TheIST department traces its history back to the 1920s andhas been part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> since the 1940s.The former Audio Visual department at IU began to expandhow it viewed media simply as a product to delivereducational elements. Instead, in the 1950s, faculty withbackgrounds in sociology, psychology and measurementbegan arriving to increase study <strong>of</strong> educational technologyin a broader sense. Faculty member Bob Heinich proposeda department name change in the late ’60s to InstructionalSystems Technology, stressing that “systems” was a necessaryelement to reflect that faculty would now be researchingnot just the way to make technology work in educationbut how it works and whether it works.“Technology is the process <strong>of</strong> solving problems,” saidBarbara Bichelmeyer, IST faculty member and associate vicepresident for academic planningand policy at IU. In her administrativework, Bichelmeyerdraws on her knowledge<strong>of</strong> instructional systemstechnology to addressproblems and opportunitiesthat impactteaching and learningacross the sevencampuses <strong>of</strong> IU. Mostrecently, she has takenon the responsibility <strong>of</strong>leading the newly createdIU Office for Online <strong>Education</strong>.“The problems that wefocus on in IST always havetwo sides. From one perspective,you could say that we solve problemshaving to do with the performance <strong>of</strong> educationalsystems. From the other perspective, youcould say that we solve problems to ensure that educationprepares people for successful performance beyond theclassroom. Either way you look at it, we’re concerned withthe links between education and successful performance.“Faculty members have since continued exploring thesystemic approach to how technology impacts and enhances(or impedes) education. Since 1988, IST Pr<strong>of</strong>essorcharles reigeluth has conducted such research as part <strong>of</strong>“The program willprepare people to go outinto the field. They couldbe in a variety <strong>of</strong> rolesand settings—not justK–12, but corporate,business and industry,government, military,nonpr<strong>of</strong>its and schoolsand universities.”<strong>Chalkboard</strong> • 15


“It is time to stretchtoward the edges <strong>of</strong>learning from those <strong>of</strong> ustinkering on the shoresto those whose learningapproaches are totteringin new directionsand even landing intotally extreme oralien lands.”the <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> faculty. His focus on a “paradigmchange” in education takes him across the world, includinga recent month-long trip across East Asia. reigeluthpreached there what he practices—he’s had a longrunningproject <strong>of</strong> implementing change at <strong>Indiana</strong>polisMetropolitan <strong>School</strong> district <strong>of</strong> decatur Township (see theSpring/Summer 2007 issue <strong>of</strong> <strong>Chalkboard</strong>). He told educatorsin china, Japan and korea that a change in mindsetis key to implementing a systemic change. “People can’tenvision a school that doesn’t have grade levels, coursesor grades,” reigeluth said. “Those are all things that arevery tied up in our image <strong>of</strong> schooling. We need to helppeople to rethink what education can and should be like.”Among the most recent efforts to build on theknowledge <strong>of</strong> what works is a new journal started largelythrough the work <strong>of</strong> Elizabeth Boling, pr<strong>of</strong>essor in ISTand associate dean <strong>of</strong> graduate studiesfor the <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>. Bolingfounded the International Journal<strong>of</strong> Designs for Learning,co-sponsored by <strong>Indiana</strong><strong>University</strong> Scholarworksand the Association for<strong>Education</strong>al communicationsandTechnology (AEcT),to give instructionaldesigners an idea <strong>of</strong>the field’s body <strong>of</strong>design knowledge,allowing instructionaldesigners toexperience manydesigns. “If you area student in productdesign, your classroom is full<strong>of</strong> examples,” Boling said. “youcan buy a book <strong>of</strong>f the shelf—‘the100 best product designs <strong>of</strong> the last20 years.’ We simply don’t have that tradition.”The peer-reviewed journal first published last year gives aplace to share “precedent materials”—detailed descriptions<strong>of</strong> what people are actually creating in the field.Boling’s work earned her the 2011 Presidential Awardfrom the Association for <strong>Education</strong>al communications andTechnology (AEcT) during the international conventionheld in November.And certainly among the most prolific proponents <strong>of</strong>thinking <strong>of</strong> new ways to teach and learn is IST Pr<strong>of</strong>essorcurt Bonk, author <strong>of</strong> the 2009 book, The World Is Open:How Web Technology is Revolutionizing <strong>Education</strong>. By theIST department’s calculation, Bonk delivered 110 talks in2010 and has given more than 1,100 presentations on thechanging world <strong>of</strong> education and technology. A Januaryevent in Washington, d.c., called “cyberLearning Talks,”sponsored by the National Science Foundation, Stanfordresearch Institute and National Geographic, will featureBonk’s presentation “Stretching the Edges <strong>of</strong> Technology-Enhanced Teaching: From Tinkering to Tottering to TotallyExtreme Learning.” “It is time to stretch toward the edges<strong>of</strong> learning from those <strong>of</strong> us tinkering on the shores tothose whose learning approaches are tottering in newdirections and even landing in totally extreme or alienlands,” Bonk wrote in the description <strong>of</strong> his session.Tom Brush, pr<strong>of</strong>essor and associate dean for teachereducation, has focused his work on how teachers andstudents use technology for better learning throughinquiry. That work has blossomed particularly throughthe creation <strong>of</strong> the Jacobs Teacher Educator program(p. 13) that promotes teachers using technology. AssistantPr<strong>of</strong>essor Anne Ottenbreit-Leftwich is focused particularlyon how teachers best integrate technology into the classroom,as is Associate Pr<strong>of</strong>essor krista Glazewski who alsostudies problem-based learning in a tech environment.Looking more at the system <strong>of</strong> instruction in workplacelearning, Assistant Pr<strong>of</strong>essor ray Haynes examines organizationaleffectiveness, while Assistant Pr<strong>of</strong>essor yonjoocho focuses on “action learning,” where a participantstudies his or her own actions and experiences toimprove performance.Frick wrote Restructuring <strong>Education</strong> Through Technologyin 1991, part <strong>of</strong> the Phi delta kappa “Fastback” series(now on the Web at https://www.indiana.edu/~tedfrick/fastback/fastback326.html). Many <strong>of</strong> the possibilities forusing technology in education, which he envisioned adecade ago, are now being realized. The online doctorateis now the latest from a department that is researchingthe latest thing in education. And it speaks to what all arelooking for in instructional systems technology, he said.“It’s about solutions.”16 • <strong>Chalkboard</strong>


Alumni Pr<strong>of</strong>ileAlumna leaves behind18 years <strong>of</strong> achievementleading MSU College<strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong>Being a higher education administrator can be a hectic, all-consumingrole—one that’s not for all. One Chronicle <strong>of</strong> Higher <strong>Education</strong>story estimated the average dean’s tenure at five years. So a deanwho has led a college for 18 years must have done something right.Most at the Michigan State <strong>University</strong> College <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> wouldpoint to many things Carole Ames has done correctly and well. Ames, whoearned her master’s in college student personnel administration from theIU <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> in 1968, became dean at MSU in 1993. In August,she retired from the deanship after seeing the college through numeroustransitions and initiatives and guiding it to become one <strong>of</strong> the best colleges<strong>of</strong> education in the country.“The faculty here is outstanding,” Ames said. “They’ve been very supportive.They’re interested in doing new things and trying new things, andthe college is very well supported on the campus and highly regarded. In allthese years, I’ve really never been interested in going somewhere else.”“She is all about excellence,” said MSU Provost Kim Wilcox uponAmes’ retirement. “People believe that she has the right values and rightaspirations for the college and university.”Perhaps what has made her a successful leader is the fact that sheunderstands what goes into teaching and learning. Ames’ undergraduatedegree at <strong>Indiana</strong> was psychology. “So what do you do as a psychologymajor?” she said. “You have to go to graduate school, right?” Having taken acourse in education, she was drawn to the <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> and enteredthe College Student Personnel Administration program (what is now theHigher <strong>Education</strong> and Student Affairs program). But even while learningabout higher education leadership, she shifted much <strong>of</strong> her focus ontoeducational psychology.“I actually started looking at jobs within the field <strong>of</strong> higher educationand did some interviews to be a dean <strong>of</strong> students and things like that, and Idecided that was not for me,” she said. She had been a research assistant to<strong>Education</strong>al Psychology Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Bill Lynch and accepted an opportunityto join him as he started the new Center for Innovation in Teaching theHandicapped at IU. “I worked full-time as a research associate for aboutthree years,” Ames said. “And that was a great experience because I didn’thave any intention at that time <strong>of</strong> going on and getting a PhD. I didn’tknow what I was going to do.”But, she moved with her husband as he took a job at Purdue <strong>University</strong>,first working as a project coordinator for a federally funded program fortwo years. Then she decided she wanted to do her own research, leading herto enter the psychology doctoral program at Purdue. Her psychology andeducational background led her to study why people learn.“My research really focuses on motivation—how teachers, classroomCarole Ames“I think being a dean, you use alot <strong>of</strong> the things that you knowabout motivation.”structures, schools can enhance or diminish the motivation <strong>of</strong> kids tolearn,” Ames said. Her work made her a leading scholar on social andacademic motivation while a faculty member at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Marylandand <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Illinois. In 1993, she began putting that researchknowledge into practice as she left the position <strong>of</strong> chair for the <strong>Education</strong>alPsychology department at Illinois to become the MSU College <strong>of</strong><strong>Education</strong> dean.“I think being a dean, you use a lot <strong>of</strong> the things that you know aboutmotivation,” Ames said. “Most people here are motivated, but you can setcertain things up that make people less interested in the whole communityor make them much more interested in their own individualistic goals.”In her tenure, Ames has motivated faculty and staff to develop neweducation initiatives both in Michigan and around the world. A primaryfocus has been urban education, particularly in Detroit. A program bringsDetroit students to MSU to major in education in exchange for becominga Detroit teacher for three years after graduation. Another brings Detroitstudents to campus for a six-week “academic boot camp” during the summer.And MSU teacher preparation students teach and work in Detroitnon-pr<strong>of</strong>its during the summer. Ames is particularly proud <strong>of</strong> otherinitiatives sending students abroad to engage other cultures in educationalopportunities.In all, it’s been a full 18 years—the longest tenure <strong>of</strong> any MSU dean. As<strong>of</strong> now, she’s on leave until next academic year. What’s next includes somepossible collaborative work, but also catching up from the hectic pace <strong>of</strong>institutional leadership. “I will have some time that I don’t have a calendarevery day that’s completely filled,” Ames said. “I have some ideas, but Idon’t have to have the rest <strong>of</strong> my life planned.”<strong>Chalkboard</strong> • 17

Honor Roll<strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> supporterlinks his success to long relationship with pr<strong>of</strong>essor emeritusby Doug WilsonRobert Draba, BS’68, didn’t have a sense <strong>of</strong> his future potential orwhat he wanted to do after high school until getting to know his9th grade social studies teacher.As as a high school student, Draba experienced the impact <strong>of</strong> a teacherwho believed in his or her students and, as a result, cultivated their talentsand interests. And in college, he learned the value <strong>of</strong> the education he couldget close to home at <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>University</strong>.While countless people have had their lives changed by a favorite teacher,Draba’s story is particularly special in a couple <strong>of</strong> ways. One is that heand that teacher, IU <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Emeritus John Patrick,have continued to be important in each other’s lives throughout the 50 yearssince they first met. Another is that Draba has made a major commitmentto helping other students receive the kind <strong>of</strong> opportunity that he had at IU.In September, Draba, now a trial attorney in the Antitrust Division <strong>of</strong>the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong> Justice in Washington, D.C., was inducted by IUPresident Michael McRobbie and IU Foundation President Eugene Templeinto the <strong>University</strong>’s prestigious Presidents Circle, which recognizes IU’stop philanthropic leaders who give more than $100,000. Draba’s specialguest at the induction was his old friend and mentor, Patrick, who taught inthe IU <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> for 37 years before retiring in 2004.“This is a thrilling day,” Patrick said after the event. “I couldn’t sleep lastnight I was so excited to come here.”Draba was 14 years old when he met Patrick, his world history teacher,in a basement classroom at Roosevelt High <strong>School</strong> in East Chicago.Patrick, in his first year as a full-time teacher, was just 24 at the time. Aformer Roosevelt student, Patrick arrived at the school determined to shakeup the place academically. After serving as president <strong>of</strong> the National HonorSociety at Roosevelt, Patrick attended an Ivy League school, Dartmouth,and found he was far behind most other freshmen.“I really had to catch up to avoid flunking out,” Patrick said. “I ended upas an honor student; but when I first got there, I was shocked.”Upon his arrival at Roosevelt High, Patrick created the school’s firstworld history class and started a history club that met twice a month in thebasement <strong>of</strong> his parents’ home, where he still lived. Draba was one <strong>of</strong> thecharter members <strong>of</strong> that club, which read and talked about such topics asRussian history and the evolution <strong>of</strong> revolution, the origin <strong>of</strong> democracy,and Greek and Roman history. Draba became fascinated with great booksthe club was reading, especially Native Son by Richard Wright, and Patrickrecognized that he had a student <strong>of</strong> unusual ability in Draba.“I’ve always felt that all <strong>of</strong> our lives are influenced by certain people.They move us in directions that are very significant, and John Patrick wasextremely important to me,” Draba said. “John believed in us. He had a lot<strong>of</strong> confidence that we could do these things. That gave me a new image <strong>of</strong>myself and the belief that maybe I could really succeed in the world <strong>of</strong> ideas.In many ways, I think I had him in the back <strong>of</strong> my mind as I went throughmy career and hoped that I’d arrive at this day when John would say he wasvery proud <strong>of</strong> what I have done.”“There are many highlights in my long career in education, but right atthe top <strong>of</strong> the list is the experience I had at the beginning, during my firstRobert Draba and John Patrickthree years as a teacher, being involved with students who were thirsty tolearn but didn’t know where to turn to get the water,” Patrick said. “Thatconvinced me that my life should be in education.”Upon graduation from East Chicago Roosevelt, Draba set out to be ahistory teacher because he wanted to do for other students what Patrickhad done for him. He started by taking classes at an extension <strong>of</strong> IU in EastChicago, and later, he took classes in the <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> at nearby<strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>University</strong> Northwest in Gary before graduating in 1968 from IUBloomington, where Patrick had been hired the year before. Draba laterreceived a PhD in education and an MBA from The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Chicagoas well as a law degree, cum laude, from Loyola <strong>University</strong> Chicago.“At IU, I got a first-class education at bargain-basement prices. It reallylaunched me in a lot <strong>of</strong> ways,” Draba said. “Although I really enjoyed mystudies at The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Chicago and Loyola <strong>University</strong> Chicago, it was<strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>University</strong> that really made a decisive difference in my life.”Following service as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Philippines, Drabareturned to East Chicago and was hired as a teacher with the Gary Community<strong>School</strong> Corp., where he taught English, journalism and reading fornearly 10 years. He later worked as a vice president for administration andassociate pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> medical education at Chicago Osteopathic HealthSystems, now known as Midwestern <strong>University</strong>, and as executive director<strong>of</strong> the American Osteopathic Association before getting his law degree andbeing selected through the Honors Program <strong>of</strong> the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong>Justice.Draba has been a donor to the IU <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> for many years.In 2010, he stepped up that commitment with a $120,000 endowed giftthat will permanently provide scholarship support to students at the <strong>School</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> who are focused on language arts. In the years to come, Drabaplans to add to this endowed gift.“I am very, very concerned about kids who don’t have the means toattend college,” Draba said. “I was able to graduate with minimal debt andbe on my way. I want other students to have what I had at IU. I receivedtremendous value for the money. Arguably, my IU degree was the mostimportant thing in my life because it made everything else possible.”28 • <strong>Chalkboard</strong>
