College Assists in Preparation of Report on Student
Achievement for Detroit Mayor Kilpatrick
WSU President Irvin Reid (left) and Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
Last October, in an effort to
improve educational services
to the children of the City of
Detroit, Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick
asked members of the community to establish several task
forces charged with preparing
“white papers” of recommendations to achieve this goal.
The mayor identified five areas
he deemed to be most important to this effort: student
academic achievement, school
governance, parental involvement, technology, and charter
schools.
Mayor Kilpatrick asked Wayne
State University President Irvin
D. Reid to establish and chair
the task force on student
academic achievement and to
provide the white paper on this
issue. Reid invited a number
of respected community and
educational leaders to participate, and appointed College
of Education (COE) Dean Paula
Wood to guide the task force
in researching and writing up
their findings. Dean Wood
created an advisory committee
made up of WSU faculty to assist
in accomplishing this task.
Because the mayor was
eager to have the report in a
timely manner, the task force
and the advisory committee
met several times in just a
few short weeks. The result:
In November, 2003 a report
entitled “White Paper on the
Academic Achievement of the
Youth of the City of Detroit”
was presented to Mayor
Kilpatrick by President Reid.
The detailed report presented
recommendations, anticipated
outcomes and a discussion on
each of four topics: I. More
Than Just the School Day; II.
Items to Support Instruction;
III. Developing Effective Teachers;
and IV. School Structure. Each
topic had subtopics, and
throughout the document ran
the themes of the importance
of continuity, community,
commitment and curriculum.
Dean Wood said of her
experience on this project and
the resulting white paper, “We
were honored to be asked by
the mayor to be involved in
this important work, and I
was especially honored to be
asked by President Reid to
coordinate the project. The
contributions of WSU faculty,
Detroit Public School educators and other members of
the community on the task
force and the advisory committee

The Harriet Maria Scott Memorial Window
BY WILLIAM P. SOSNOWSKY, PROFESSOR EMERITUS, COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
The college is grateful to Dr. William Sosnowsky for his exceptional effort in researching
and writing this historical account of Harriet Scott, the second principal (dean) of
what became the Wayne State University College of Education. In this article, Dr.
Sosnowsky focuses on the stained glass window that adorns the Education Building’s
east foyer. The window was created in Scott’s honor.
We begin in 1854 with the birth of Harriet “Hattie” Scott in Terre Haute,
Indiana In 1873, she enrolled in the Indiana State Normal School (ISNS - now
Indiana State University), which had opened in 1870. After graduating from
ISNS Scott taught in Terre Haute’s public schools, and in 1880 she accepted an
appointment to the ISNS faculty. In 1883, Scott’s teacher and mentor at ISNS,
Amanda Parker Funnelle, urged Harriet to come to Michigan to assist her with
the Detroit Normal Training School she had recently established.
When Funnelle resigned from Detroit Normal Training School in 1886, Scott
succeeded her as principal and remained in that position for nearly 13 years. She
thus became the second principal (dean) of what became the Wayne State University
College of Education. Scott resigned her position in 1899 and moved to California,
where in 1906, she died at the age of 52 at her mother’s home.
In 1907, the Detroit Normal School Alumni Association president appointed a
committee to plan a memorial to Scott. It was decided that the memorial should
be a stained-glass window portraying components of teaching, knowledge and
education. In 1908, a subscription was opened among Detroit teachers to raise
money for the window, and donations were received from 283 individuals, ranging
from 50¢ to $10, for a total of $863, including $200 from the alumni association.
From 1909 to 1910, designs for the memorial were sought from the Tiffany and
the Church Glass & Decorating companies, both of New York. The latter was chosen,
having shown immediate interest and devoting much time to the effort. The
designer (and company president) was the American artist Caryl Coleman.

were enormous. I believe we
developed a report that, if it is
used as a template, will clearly
contribute to the improved
academic achievement of Detroit
school students. This is not to
say that it would be an easy task;
many of the recommendations
would require an enormous
commitment of time and
resources. It was exciting to
work with a group of individuals so enthusiastic about and
dedicated to this important
undertaking.”

WSU Community Mourns Loss of Two
Valued Members of the University Family —
Mildred Jeffrey and Alma Young
The WSU community, the city
of Detroit, the state of Michigan,
and indeed the country, lost
a champion of social justice
when Mildred (Millie) Jeffrey
passed away on March 24,
2004, at age 93.
Millie Jeffrey was a member
of the WSU Board of Governors
from 1974 to1990. After her
service on the board, she
continued to dedicate much
of her time to being an
“ambassador” for the university.
For more than 60 years Millie
tirelessly fought social injustice
and was a champion for equal
rights for minorities, women
and workers. In 1944 she
became the first woman to
head the United Auto Workers’
Women’s Bureau, and
throughout the 1950s and
1960s she was involved in
the civil rights movement.
She founded the National
Women’s Political Caucus in
1971 to help women succeed
in politics, becoming the catalyst behind generations of
female politicians. In 2000,
President William Clinton
presented Jeffrey with the
nation’s highest civilian honor,
the Presidential Medal of
Freedom.
“Millie Jeffrey was without a
doubt one of the most
extraordinary women of her
generation,” said COE Dean
Paula Wood. “She was the
consummate egalitarian: in
her eyes, everyone was equal,
from the president of the
United States to the hardworking factory laborer.
Without Millie’s efforts, the
lives of many, many people–
and the generations that
followed–would have been
very different.”
Throughout her life, Millie
displayed remarkable energy
and humor while constantly
forging ahead to accomplish
her goals on behalf of others.
We join Millie’s family and friends
in mourning her passing and
also in celebrating her extraordinary life and legacy.
A celebration of Millie Jeffrey’s
life will be held on campus on
June 26, 2004.
The university community also
mourns the unexpected death
of Alma H. Young, dean of the
College of Urban, Labor and
Metropolitan Affairs (CULMA)
at her home on March 14, 2004.
Dean Young joined the
faculty at Wayne State
University in 1997 as the first
Coleman A. Young Professor
of Urban Affairs chair in CULMA.
In this role she helped to link
the college with the community, finding ways to create
healthy neighborhoods,
affordable housing, better
jobs and to improve relations
between neighbors and
community groups. She
became CULMA’s dean in
January 1999, where she
continued her dedicated
service on these issues while
ably administering the college.
The contract was signed in
1911 agreeing that for the sum
of $700 a 4-foot-by-9-foot
stained-glass window would
be created with opalescent
glass depicting an allegorical
subject, to be set in place in
the Normal School. The allegorical subject--the Education
of Women--is characterized by
Teta, a profoundly learned
teacher instructing Lioba, a
student at Winburnia, an eighthcentury school for women in
England. The window’s image
of Teta immortalizes Harriet
Scott’s likeness, and the student
Lioba symbolizes all of Scott’s
pupils.
Intended for installation in
the old Washington Normal
School building, this could
not be accomplished because
it was deemed unsafe to open
a wall to accommodate the
window. In 1914 a new building,
the Martindale Normal Training
School, was completed, and
the memorial window was to
be installed in the library. But
the building architects had made
a square top for the window
opening instead of a round
top! The artist had to resolve
this problem, and the window
was finally installed. In lieu of
an unveiling ceremony, the
alumni association published
a booklet that contained
Dean Wood said of her
fellow dean, “Dean Young
was an exceptional colleague.
Her breadth of knowledge
and her insight into so many
issues is sorely missed, as are
her quiet competence, grace
and dedication. Her tragically
premature death is, and will
continue to be, keenly felt by
all of us.”
A memorial service for Dean
Young, attended by many in
the university community as
well as her family and friends,
was held on March 20, 2004,
at the Cathedral Church of St.
Paul in Detroit.
The College of Education
mourns the loss of these two
remarkable women. ■

are no known copies of the

The Martindale building,
later named Detroit Teachers
College, was eventually razed.
The window was removed
before demolition and stored
at Wayne State University until
1981, when it was rediscovered,
restored and placed in the east
foyer of the College of Education
building as part of the college’s
centennial celebration.
Take a moment the next time
you enter the east foyer of the
Education Building to admire
this artistic and beautiful
window, which represents so
much history and immortalizes
the memory of its namesake. ■

WSU Charter Night
November 8, 2003
Ford Conference and Event Center
Dearborn, Michigan
President Irvin D. Reid and other university officials
greet alumni, faculty and friends of the College of
Education at Charter Night, a black-tie event held
annually each fall to thank donors to the university
and to welcome them as members of the
Anthony Wayne Society.
IT Poster Presentations
The Instructional Technology (IT) program hosted its fall term
“poster session” on December 13, 2003, during which the 13
graduating IT master’s degree students displayed their terminal
projects. This event, held each term, showcases the talents of IT
students and the unique projects that they complete to fulfill
their final degree requirements. The projects are very diverse and
reflect the program emphases: K-12 Technology Integration,
Performance Improvement and Training, and Interactive Technologies.
The December 2003 presentations included:
• A training program introducing Macomb Community College
faculty to distance education encompassing both technical
issues and distance education design strategies (by Amy Pawlusiak).
• A course that provides the fundamentals of project management
by building upon the use of group activities, games, discussion
and video (by Esther Jackson).
• An interactive multimedia tutorial titled, “Mole D. Cheese’s
Lab Safety Tutorial for High School Chemistry Students”
(by Michael Pituch).
• A project in which students wrote, directed, and produced
digital films that were subsequently sold to support the

standards throughout
their academic careers.
Charles, who attended North Farmington High
School in Farmington Hills, Michigan, exemplifies this
description. A member of the Golden Key Honor Society,
he has excelled academically, and graduated in May
magna cum laude with a 3.88 GPA. He received a WSU
Presidential Scholarship and the Carol Ann Albertson
Memorial Scholarship from the College of Education.
As a four-year member of WSU’s cross-country
team, he was an NCAA Division II Coach’s Association
Academic All-American in 2001 and 2003. He had the
sixth highest GPA of all cross-country runners in the
country last year, is a three-time Academic All-GLIAC
selection, and a three-year member of the “Warrior
Elite,” which consists of student-athletes with GPAs
of 3.5 or above.
Charles’ contributions to the university and the
community are equally remarkable: as a participant
in the Detroit fundraiser “Walk as One” on Belle Isle,
the Motor City Makeover trash-clearing effort, and as
a volunteer tutor at the Detroit Lions Academy in Detroit.
He has also been a volunteer tutor at schools in Ferndale,
a driver for Farmington Area Goodfellows Canned
Food Holiday drive, and has tutored students in the
WSU Department of Mathematics. As president of
the Society of Armenian Students at WSU in 2003,
Charles promoted awareness of the 1915 Armenian
genocide, raised funds for a medical center and
hospital in Armenia, and spearheaded a donation
to the Armenian Community Center in Dearborn
in memory of the 1915 genocide.
Charles completed his student teaching in math at
Beaubien Middle School in Detroit and in English at
Southfield High School. His immediate career goal is
to teach English or math at the secondary level. He is
proud that his parents and an uncle are also WSU
graduates, and states, “My role models and heroes have
always been my teachers, especially my mother. I will
never lose sight of my most important goal: to do what
my teachers have done for me by actively engaging
and inspiring students with the hope of giving them
the courage and tools to follow their own dreams.”
Charles’ accomplishments illustrate the best of his
graduating class. As an exemplary representative of the
WSU undergraduate student body, the college is proud
that Charles is one of its alumni and congratulates him
on being selected the 2004 Howard A. Donnelly
Award recipient! ■
First Annual Student Technology Day Conference
The College of Education (COE) hosted its first annual
Student Technology Day Conference in the McGregor
Memorial Conference Center on February 25, 2004.
This half-day event provided close to 200 preservice
student teachers the opportunity to learn about technology for teaching and learning as well as the chance
to participate in a professional conference.
The Consortium for Outstanding Achievement in
Teaching with Technology (COATT) helped support
this activity, which was specifically designed for preservice
student teachers. Conference sessions included presentations by faculty, students, alumni and staff on topics
ranging from digital storytelling and e-portfolios to
demonstrations of SmartBoards and handheld computers.
Faculty presentations covered adaptive technologies,
university design for education, and integration of
technology in math, science, and reading literacy classes.
A wide variety of education technology vendors made
the conference exciting for many students. Over 50
students received various door prizes donated by vendors
and the college, including a digital camera, CD headphone sets, software, a computer scanner, and T-shirts.
Dean Paula Wood provided closing comments for
the conference and spoke to the students about their
role and responsibilities as leaders in education. She
also picked the winning raffle tickets for the door prizes.
Plans for the second annual Student Technology
Day Conference are already underway. Next year
the college hopes to expand the event to a full day,
featuring even more student technology projects,
faculty presentations, software demonstrations, and
hands-on workshops. Information on next year’s
event will be included in future COE newsletters
and online at www.coe.wayne.edu. ■
Elsie Babcock, Teacher Education lecturer, discusses classroom
technology innovations with attendees at the college’s first annual
Technology Day Conference.
Every spring the university hosts a Retiree and Employee
Recognition Program to collectively recognize and thank
all of the employees who are retiring and/or have been
at Wayne State University for 25 years or more. At this
year’s ceremony, held on April 23, 2004 in the Community
Arts Auditorium, the following College of Education (COE)
employees were honored for their many years of service
to the university and the college:
FACULTY RETIREES
David Blievernicht, PhD, associate professor of
Kinesiology, Health, and Sport Studies, retired at
the end of the 2003 fall term. He had been a faculty
member at WSU for 36 years, and taught courses in
Biomechanics and Health. Over the years students
appreciated his wide range of knowledge and even
the difficult challenge of his Biomechanics course,
as it prepared them for other coursework and their
chosen careers. We thank Professor Blievernicht for
his 36 years of service to the division, the college,
and the university, and wish him a long and healthy
retirement. Well-wishers can contact him at
[email protected].
Alvin Edelson, PhD, a senior lecturer in Instructional
Technology (IT), retired in August 2003, ending
over 30 years of service to Wayne State University.
Edelson began teaching IT classes in 1972 as part
of his appointment as a research assistant working
in the Dean’s Office of the college. He was involved
in the development of the university’s first attempt
at distance education, which consisted of educational television offerings. He also created the
instructional video specialization in the IT program,
as well as new courses in professional presentations,
critical viewing of television and media literacy. He
was the first in the college to deliver courses via
two-way interactive television, and was the first
editor of InTerface, the IT program’s newsletter. In
1996 Edelson received an Excellence in Teaching
Award from the College of Education and was a
recipient of an Emmy from the Michigan Chapter
of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
We thank him for all of his contributions to the
college and university over 30 years and wish him
well in his retirement.

“Baby Think It Over” Research Project
Cheryl Somers, PhD, principal investigator of the “Baby Think It Over” grant, and Maureen Gerwatowski, doctoral student
and research assistant and program coordinator for the grant, hold the infant simulators used in the “Baby Think It Over”
2 0 0 4
How can schools help teenagers learn about responsible sexual
behavior? That’s a question that Cheryl Somers, PhD, assistant
professor, Educational Psychology program, Division of Theoretical
and Behavioral Foundations, is trying to answer through a grant
that she was awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services. Her co-investigator is Shlomo Sawilowksy, PhD,
professor, Educational Evaluation and Research program. Her
program coordinator and research assistant is Maureen Gerwatowski,
a doctoral student in Educational Psychology. Their research goal
is to determine the effectiveness of the teenage pregnancy
prevention project, “Baby Think It Over” (BTIO).
Under the BTIO approach, teenagers experience caring for
a lifelike computerized infant simulator designed to provide a
realistic example of the responsibilities involved with parenting
infants. Although this has been a nationwide effort, very little
research on the impact of the program has been done, and the
results are mixed.
This federal grant allows the researchers to evaluate the impact
of BTIO on seventh and eighth graders of both genders, using
the traditional experimental approach in which one group of
teens experiences the “babies” and the other group does not.
Both groups are asked about their sexual attitudes, behaviors,
education, etc., and are compared before and after the intervention
and at later follow-up points to determine the effectiveness of
the experience in impacting attitudes and behaviors that are
related to avoidance of teen pregnancy.
The results of this study will be used to inform educators about
programming in schools, and whether or not the BTIO program
is cost-effective in terms of the results it produces. ■

COE Faculty Hold Diversity Workshop
ETC Gets a New Look
As part of the college’s ongoing efforts
to ensure that reflection on diversity
permeates all segments of its programs,
the College of Education (COE) faculty,
through the efforts of its Diversity
Committee, held a workshop last fall
devoted to diversity awareness. The
purpose of the all-day activity, held on
October 8, 2003, at Focus:HOPE in Detroit,
was twofold: 1) to further faculty and
staff members’ knowledge and sensitivity regarding issues of diversity, and
2) to further faculty and staff members’
skills in facilitating students’ commitment
to diversity.
The workshop included presentations
by two speakers. In the morning Jerry
Executive Director of the Detroit Branch of the NAACP, Heaster
Herron, director, Wayne State University
Wheeler, spoke at the October, 2003 Diversity Workshop for the
Honors Program, focused on the history
COE faculty and staff at Focus:HOPE.
of Detroit with an emphasis on the lives
and roles of different ethnic and racial
groups. In the afternoon session, Heaster Wheeler, executive director, Detroit Branch of the NAACP,
provided a short history of the NAACP and its current programs and issues, as well as a discussion
of the role of COE faculty in developing competent professionals committed to working with
diverse groups of learners. Small group activities, aimed at increasing faculty members’ awareness
of diversity issues and why they are important, were also held throughout the day.
The goals of the college’s Diversity Committee, which were developed and presented to the
COE faculty in February 2003, are: 1) to increase faculty and staff commitment to seeing that
issues related to diversity are an integral part of the college’s mission; 2) to increase the level of
knowledge, dispositions and skills related to issues of diversity in COE faculty, staff and students;
and 3) to develop a set of guiding principles related to diversity for preparing effective urban
educators. The committee is co-chaired by Sharon Elliott, EdD, assistant dean, Division of Teacher
Education, and JoAnne Holbert, EdD, assistant dean, Divisions of Administrative and Organizational
Studies and Theoretical and Behavioral Foundations. Committee members include the following
COE faculty and academic staff: Elsie Babcock, Keisha Hall, Michael Muise, PhD, Marc Rosa, EdD,
Sharon Sellers-Clark, Linda Tillman, PhD, Delano Tucker, EdD, and Rodica Vasiliu, PhD.
The Diversity Committee - guided by the goals noted above - will conduct additional activities
in the future such as presentations, readings, and discussions for faculty and staff; review of student
recruitment activities; discussions of curriculum; efforts to rebuild student organizations; and the
sharing of various resources and reading lists. Through these practices and more, the goal of the
Diversity Committee is to ensure that the college consistently and continuously affirms its theme:
The Effective Urban Educator: Reflective, Innovative and Committed to Diversity. ■
Important changes have occurred recently in the Education
Technology Center (ETC). With support from university Omnibus
funds, the college updated the computers and workstations in all
labs on the first floor of the Education Building.
The new computers are configured to provide the latest digital
tools to support students in the development of their educational
multimedia projects. Software such as Inspiration, Kidspiration,
Tech4Learning (ImageBlender, VideoBlender, MediaBlender),
Adobe Design Suite (Acrobat, PhotoShop, Illustrator, GoLive),
SPSS, Geometry Sketchpad, iMovie, iPhoto, iDVD, MovieMaker,
and the latest Microsoft Office suite are loaded on all the first
floor lab computers.
In addition, the computers all have CD-RW drives that enable
students to burn their project files on a CD. The iMac computers
also have DVD burners. The Omnibus grant also supported the
purchase of digital cameras and Palm handheld computers to be
used specifically for learning and development activities in COE
classes. These new tools have created a great deal of excitement
among students and faculty who teach their classes in the labs.
The ETC staff continuously strives to update and improve the
technology available to COE students so that these resources are
relevant to the learning taking place in COE classrooms. These
latest refinements have already proven extremely useful to COE
students. ■

WSU Capital Campaign: Wayne State University will
soon issue a public announcement about its upcoming
major capital campaign, which has been in the “silent
phase” for many months. This is the first comprehensive
capital campaign in the university’s history, and the
College of Education is a proud participant and
supporter of this effort. We will be asking our alumni,
friends, faculty and staff to help us reach our campaign
goals. Meanwhile, we remind you of just a few of the
college’s many programs and accomplishments:
• Over 80 percent of our graduates remain in
Michigan as teachers and school administrators.
• We have numerous partnerships with corporations,
foundations and nonprofit organizations, which
offer tutoring, mentoring and innovative curricular
programs where they are most needed: in urban
schools.
• We provide expertise in 37 areas of academic
specialization.
• Our current global outreach includes exchange
programs in Finland, Russia and South Africa,
preparing students to contribute to a global
society.
• We rank among the top 50 colleges in the United
States in external funding for service and research
projects.
• Our Alternative Pathways to Teaching program has
earned numerous national awards for its effectiveness in recruiting and preparing teachers from
underrepresented groups.
There are many more areas of accomplishment we
could highlight, and we will do so in future issues of
this newsletter. The next issue of The Educator will
detail the college’s goals for the capital campaign
and how your support will ensure a bright future for
the College of Education and the students, families,
and schools in southeastern Michigan.
Planned Giving: A Salute to the Doziers
Education has always been important to Wayne State
University alumni Tillman and Margie Dozier. “A teacher
gave me encouragement to attend college,” Tillman
says, “and I wanted to help others have the same
opportunities my degree gave me.” Margie states,
“At 16 I was ineligible for nursing programs offered
by hospitals, but WSU’s College of Nursing offered
me a chance. I want to pass that chance on to others
who want to study nursing.”
So “giving back” has played a prominent role in
the Doziers’ lives: to community, to family, and to
their alma mater. Tillman received bachelor’s (1958)
and master’s (1962) degrees from the College of
Education. Margie is a 1960 College of Nursing graduate. They “give back” through generous bequests to
the Colleges of Education and Nursing, helping future
teachers and nurses achieve their dreams. The Doziers
hope that others who learn of their commitment will
be inspired to follow their example and support WSU
with a planned gift as well. The Colleges of Education
and Nursing are grateful to the Doziers for their
continued commitment and generosity.
If you have any questions about the capital campaign,
want information about creating an estate plan that
includes the College of Education or about other giving
opportunities, please contact Joanne Osmer at
(313) 577-1664 or [email protected]. ■

disproportionately affect minority populations, and who made a significant contribution to education research
and development.”
AERA Outstanding Article Award: Tillman was also nominated for the AERA Palmer O. Johnson Memorial Award
for the “outstanding article published in an AERA journal.” Her nominated article, “Culturally Sensitive Research
Approaches: An African-American Perspective,” appeared in the December 2002 issue of AERA’s Educational Researcher.
50th Year Anniversary: In addition, Tillman assisted the WSU Law School with the planning of its activities commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision (see article on page 10). ■

50th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Delta Kappa Initiates
Education Decision
New Members
The historic 1954 Supreme Court decision that integrated the nation’s public schools is arguably the
most significant legal ruling to affect public education in the last century. On March 24 and 25, 2004,
the Wayne State University Law School, assisted by several units within the university, including the
College of Education (COE), hosted a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board
of Education decision. Local legal luminaries Judge Damon Keith of the U.S. Court of Appeals, Sixth
Circuit, and Dennis Archer, former Michigan Supreme Court justice, former mayor of the City of
Detroit and current president of the American Bar Association, were just two of the participants in
the commemorative activities.
Linda Tillman, PhD, associate professor in COE’s Educational Leadership and Policy Studies program,
served as the college’s representative on the event’s planning committee. She assisted with the creation
of a panel of well-known scholars who have done extensive work on the issues of Brown v. Board of
Education in the fields of education, law and history.
Professor Tillman moderated a panel during the Law School event, and also served as moderator
for New York University’s Brown v. Board of Education anniversary observance May 17 through May
19. In addition, she chaired a symposium at the American Educational Research Association’s (AERA)
2004 Annual Meeting in San Diego in April titled, “Schooling and Education after Fifty Years of Brown

resources at their disposal. Brady obtained funding through the
university’s Omnibus fees by emphasizing in a grant proposal the
College of Education’s (COE) commitment to creating an environment
that promotes the use and integration of new and emerging technologies
into teaching, learning, research and collaboration. She also explained
why it is necessary to prepare students to understand and utilize
essential technologies used in instruction and research.
The funds Brady received enabled the college to convert two classrooms
Teacher Education division faculty
in the Education Building into SMART (Shared Multimedia Access to
member Bob Pettapiece works
Resources for Teaching) classrooms that utilize an array of technologies
with students Maria Vega (left)
to aid faculty in the teaching and learning process. This technology
and Cetaura Rodgers as they utilize
includes interactive SMART Boards, which display what’s on a computer

screen, with desktop computer and Internet access as well. One of the
them in the SMART classroom
rooms has a SMART Board on a mobile cart, which contains equipment
in TED.
such as laptop computers (PC or Macintosh), DVD/VCR, document
presenter/camera, scanner, copier, printer, digital camcorder and DVD
burner. The SMART cart can be transported to other classrooms in the Education Building for training
or instructional purposes, or used in remote locations.
Adjoining the SMART classroom is the TED Student Support Lab (Room 226), which contains a
variety of equipment such as a TV, DVD/VCR combo, DVD burner, digital camera with accessories,
digital camcorder, printer, scanner, three laptop PCs with headphones, CD burner, and Plato software
that can be accessed from home. The latter is designed to aid students in preparing for their state exams,
especially in the areas of science, mathematics, and the social sciences. The lab also provides academic
and technology support, including preparation for the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification (MTTC),
resources for preparation for the Basic Skills and Subject Area Testing, material to assist TED students
with improving skills in mathematics, reading and writing (such as software, lessons, workbooks, and
practice materials); online study guides, online MTTC study guides, and a TED student support website.
The TED Student Support lab offers assistance via phone and one-on-one sessions during walk-in
hours. TED students can also send an e-mail to aj1214 @wayne.edu or call (313) 577-9677 to learn
more about the college’s new technology resources and how to obtain all the technological support
they need. ■

COE’s LLI Program Praised
By State Board of Education
A presentation regarding the
College of Education’s (COE)
very successful Limited License
to Instruct (LLI) pilot program
was made to the Michigan
State Board of Education at its
invitation on March 9, 2004
by COE Dean Paula Wood.

REGISTERING FOR CLASSES
DON’T BE GUILTY OF PLAGIARISM!
College of Education students are able to register for classes on the Internet at
www.pipeline.wayne.edu, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to midnight. You can
also use this website to print class schedules, apply for financial aid, and more.
Institutions of higher education around the country and the world are experiencing a
disturbing increase in plagiarism, due partly to the widespread use of the Internet.
The College of Education, which has a “zero tolerance” policy toward plagiarism
and other forms of academic dishonesty, is in the process of preparing a booklet
and online information for all students regarding this issue. In the meantime, specific
examples of plagiarism and academic dishonesty can be found in the university’s
Undergraduate Bulletin, the Undergraduate Student Handbook and the Student
Due Process Policy. Every student is responsible for reading these documents, which
are online at www.wayne.edu. Please be aware that all suspected incidents of
academic dishonesty and plagiarism will be taken seriously and investigated under
the Student Due Process Policy. Sanctions include course failure, probation, and/or
expulsion from the college. Make wise decisions about your academic work and
ask for instructors’ help when needed.

MORRIS HOOD, JR. PRE-EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Morris Hood, Jr. Pathways to Urban Teachers for Minority Scholars program,
designed to increase the number of minority male students who complete the
college’s teacher certification program, has a new pre-education component.
Under this new approach, 10 male students will be identified and recruited,
given specialized academic advising, and will participate in scheduled workshops
and seminars. When the students are admitted into the College of Education as
teacher certification students, eligible students are then accepted into the Morris
Hood, Jr. program as well. This makes them eligible for tuition assistance,
academic advising, tutorial support and personal skill enrichment through
leadership seminars.
Students interested in the pre-education component must be undergraduate
pre-education majors or potential MAT students currently completing prerequisite
courses for their teaching major and minor. If you fall into one of these categories,
contact Kevin Williams in the Division of Academic Services at (313) 577-1605,
[email protected] or in room 489 Education Buiding.
TED STUDENTS: NOTICE REGARDING NEW SCIENCE ENDORSEMENT
The Michigan Department of Education has established a new science endorsement
in Integrated Science (DI) to substitute for the current General Science (DX) endorsement. Admissions into the General Science (DX) endorsement program ceased
following the fall 2003 semester. Students who now have General Science as a
major or minor must complete the program by June 2007.
The Integrated Science (DI) endorsement at the secondary level can only be as
a major, not as a minor. Secondary students being certified in Integrated Science
(DI) can have only 50 credits in a group major (no minor) or 36 credits in a group
major combined with a minor in one of the science areas (e.g., biology, chemistry,
or physics). Students in the elementary program have two options: 36 credits in a
group major or 24 credits in a group minor. Students (elementary and secondary)
who are already certified may add a 36-hour Integrated Science endorsement to
their certificate. Contact your advisor if you have questions about this change.

COE Alumni Association Honors DPS CEO
with Distinguished Educator of the Year Award
The College of Education Alumni Association honored
Kenneth S. Burnley, chief executive officer of the Detroit
Public Schools (DPS), as its Distinguished Educator of
the Year at the annual Recess Night awards and dinner
dance at the Roostertail restaurant on March 27, 2004.
Appointed CEO on July 1, 2000, Burnley expressed
at that time that his main focus was student achievement:
to ensure that every child in the Detroit Public Schools
would succeed academically. Responsible for over 140,000
students in 259 schools and 10,000 employees, he also
manages a budget of approximately $1 billion.
Since his appointment, Dr. Burnley’s achievements
include:
• construction of 14 new schools, providing 586 new
classrooms and 11,000 new seats for students;
• addition of 3,500 early childhood education seats
and more than 400 all-day kindergarten classes;
• investment of $20 million in school security,
including implementation of an emergency
response plan, installation of cameras at all
high schools and middle schools, and hiring
225 security guards;
• establishment of a program in which new
teachers are mentored and assisted by
more seasoned colleagues;
• creation of a Leadership Academy for principals
and aspiring principals to develop their skills as
school leaders.
A native of Detroit, Burnley earned his BS, MA and
PhD degrees from the University of Michigan. Prior
to his appointment as the CEO of DPS, he served as
superintendent of schools/CEO in Fairbanks, Alaska,
and Colorado Springs, Colorado. His service to public
education spans 39 years, during which he has held
a variety of administrative positions and those of teacher
and assistant track coach.
In 1993, the American Association of School
Administrators named Dr. Burnley National Superintendent
of the Year. He serves on the national boards of several
educational organizations and foundations. Locally, he
serves on the board of directors for New Detroit, Inc.,
City Connect and Schools of the 21st Century. He also
devotes time to many service organizations, including
the United Way, Rotary Club of Detroit, Boy Scouts of
America and the Executive Club of Detroit.
Married to Eileen Burnley, general manager of Human
Resources for the City of Detroit, they have four children,
two of whom are college graduates and two who are
in middle school.
For his leadership abilities, his role in the progress
made in the Detroit Public Schools, his dedication and
commitment to children as demonstrated by his 39-year
career in education, the COE Alumni Association is
pleased to name Dr. Kenneth Burnley the association’s
2004 Distinguished Educator of the Year. ■

Phonathons Up
and Running Again
PACT Exchange
Program Event
Phonathons sponsored by the Office of University
Advancement conducted by WSU schools and colleges
were suspended for a while, but reactivated this past
fall. The new Phonathon activities, which are now held
at the studios of WSU’s public radio station WDET,
enable groups within a college to call former donors
to request renewed contributions to their programs.
The funds received are used to provide resources and
to support activities for the program’s faculty and
students. Several COE groups, including the College
of Education Alumni Association, took advantage
of the reactivated Phonathon program with very
successful results.
If you receive a Phonathon call, we hope you will
respond enthusiastically to the volunteer caller and
make a donation. Remember: you don’t have to be a
“big donor” to make a difference; modest contributions
are important too! We appreciate the generosity of all
of our Phonathon donors at all giving levels, and thank
the volunteer callers who make this activity a success. ■
Wayne State University (WSU) recently sponsored an
educational exchange program for representatives of
Parents and Children Together (PACT), a Detroit-based
multi-faceted early childhood intervention program,
to support Ethiopian immigrant families living in Netanya,
Israel. Held on May 11-12, 2004 this event, initiated
at the direction of WSU President Irvin D. Reid, was
co-sponsored by College of Education Dean Paula
Wood, School of Social Work Dean Phyllis Vroom,
and Bob Aronson, CEO, Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit (JFMD).
The program, one of the many PACT projects,
provided an opportunity for education, social work and
health care professionals to learn from each other by
exchanging information about best practices, educational
support, and community health services designed to
help children and families thrive and be well. The
program featured activities at a number of WSU centers
and departments, including the Early Childhood Center,
Speech and Language Clinic, College of Education,
School of Nursing, and School of Social Work, as
well as visits to Detroit area schools and social service
agencies, including Friend’s School of Detroit, the
Early Intervention Diagnostic Center, the Detroit Day
School for the Deaf, and Black Family Development.
The exchange program, developed to foster an
ongoing two-way relationship in which professionals
on both sides of the ocean learn from each other, was
coordinated by Marshall Zumberg, PhD, College of
Education and Kristin Kaylor Richardson, MSW, School
of Social Work, in collaboration with Amy Neistein,
JFMD Associate Director, Israel and Overseas Services
and Judge Helene White, JFMD PACT-Netanya Committee
Chair. Visiting Israeli delegates included parents,
administrators, and health care professionals affiliated
with the PACT program in Netanya, Israel. ■
IN MEMORIAM
We are deeply saddened to report the death on April
14, 2004 of retired College of Education (COE) faculty
member Dr. Edward Adamek. A professor of Guidance
and Counseling in the college’s Division of Theoretical
and Behavioral Foundations, Dr. Adamek was a highly
regarded member of the COE faculty from 1960 until
his retirement in 1990. He received his doctorate from
the University of Illinois, Champaign before beginning
his career at WSU. Following his retirement he moved
with his family to Washington State, where he was living
at the time of his death. He had recently moved to Lake
Forest Park, Washington where he enjoyed beautiful
vistas of Lake Washington and the Cascade mountain
range from his home. A memorial service was held for
him on April 24th in Seattle. Donations in his name may
Sharon Sellers-Clark (top) of COE’s Academic Services division and
Cetaura Rodgers, Social Studies Education MEd student, are just two of
the volunteers who helped during the college’s fall Phonathon activities.

developed for the College of Education.
Assistance is sought from COE faculty,
staff and students to identify special
programs and recurring events that
can be highlighted and where pictures
can be taken. Contact Mary Waker

PERSONALITY PROFILE:
WILLIAM P. SOSNOWSKY
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION PROFESSOR EMERITUS
The following is an imaginary interview with Dr. William Sosnowsky, professor emeritus and historian of the College
of Education’s Alumni Association, conducted by Amanda Parker Funnelle, the founder in 1881 of the inaugural
Normal Training Class that evolved into the College of Education. Funnelle’s questions are in bold.
“Personality Profile;” my goodness, that’s impressive! Why you? Probably because my alumni dues are
paid! Well, that, and I did write an informal history of the Education Alumni Association a while ago, and the
article about the Harriet Maria Scott Memorial Window on this newletter’s cover page. Miss Scott motivated
Normal School graduates to form (in 1897) what is now the WSU Education Alumni Association. Also, my wife
Frances (who also teaches in the college) and I created the Amanda Parker Funnelle Endowed Scholarship in
your memory, and I wrote a feature about you that appeared in the Spring 2003 issue of The Educator.
I am flattered and honored, but please tell us a little more about yourself. I was born in 1928 to parents
from the Ukraine who immigrated to Detroit before WWI. After graduating from Hamtramck High School in 1945,
I immediately enlisted in the Navy at age 17. I am the father of son William Michael and daughter Marynell.
William works for the K-Mart Corporation and Marynell works in computer technology in San Jose.
Tell us about your time in the Navy. I served on Admiral Byrd’s ship the USS Philippine Sea, which was
pulled from Mediterranean duty and sent on a journey to reach the South Pole on a mission called Operation
Highjump. I was Admiral Byrd’s helmsman for this journey; my responsibility was to keep the ship on a steady
course while planes were landing or taking off of the carrier for flights over the South Pole.
After your discharge from the Navy, what did you do? After leaving the Navy, I returned to Detroit in the
1950s. I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in clinical psychology and a doctorate in special education,
all from Wayne State University. I worked in the Detroit Psychological Clinic for the Detroit Public Schools, and
later became chief psychologist in the Grosse Pointe Public Schools. In 1968 I joined WSU’s Department of Special
Education faculty in the College of Education. After the college was reorganized into divisions, I became a
faculty member in the Division of Administrative and Organizational Studies’ Educational Leadership program,
where I remained until my retirement in 1992.
What have you been engaged in recently? Besides writing the article about the memorial window, I’ve
been re-reading A Place of Light, written for the “general” reader, which is the official history of Wayne State
University. At least that’s how it is listed in the last edition of the American Council of Education’s American
Colleges and Universities. I don’t agree with its conclusions, but it’s a fascinating and thought-provoking
account of how WSU came to be. I am also reading works on foundation mythology, and my library overflows
with purchased, though unread, books. Salman Rushdie’s Satanic Verses is on my nightstand now: what an
adventure it is in the English language (among other things, of course)! In Sacrificing Truth, Ben-Yehuda
Nacham of Hebrew University challenges a formidable historical and archaeological tradition; right or wrong,
he is the quintessence of intellectual integrity and courage. And, yes, I’ve read The DaVinci Code.
What about professional work? I was a state special education hearing review officer until last year. The
relatively short deadlines and lengthy reports, however, exhausted me. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals
upheld five appellate decisions based on my findings. And two of those decisions, further appealed to the
U.S. Supreme Court, were denied certification. It was very interesting, but demanding, work.
William P. Sosnowsky, professor emeritus of the College of
Education (COE) and COE Alumni Association historian.
College Shares
Technology Award
At its March 2004 Michigan Association for Computer
Users in Learning (MACUL) conference in Grand
Rapids, the Consortium for Outstanding Achievement
in Teaching with Technology (COATT), of which the
College of Education is a member, received the
President’s Award in recognition of COATT’s efforts
to further the use of educational technology for
Michigan educators. The college is proud to share
this award with COATT partners Spring Arbor University
and Eastern Michigan University (EMU). Previous
award recipients have included former Governor
John Engler and Senator Carl Levin. The award
plaque will be displayed at Spring Arbor, EMU
and WSU for a few weeks before ultimately being
permanently displayed in the COATT offices. ■
And your travel itinerary? Florence, Italy, during spring break of March 2003, our 15th sojourn there,
and Paris a few times in between. We’ve established many Florentine friendships, among them a 92-year-old
gentleman who is writing his third book in the past three years, and the coordinator of the Florence Iris Festival.
The Medici are familiars; we pay our respects to the family regularly at the Medici Chapel when we’re in the
neighborhood.
Tell us about your current interests and activities. The Etruscans, the founders of Rome, and the renewed
debate about whether or not the Etruscans were migrants to Italy. I am also a member of the Tuesday Group at
the Bluepointe Restaurant in Grosse Pointe. The group, philosophers all, includes two attorneys, a commercial
real estate broker, a stockbroker, and an architect. I’m the only educator and the youngest at 76. Listening to
them provides a remarkable historical perspective on Detroit, past and present. Also, Frances and I recently
attended an event celebrating Professor Leonard Kaplan’s Endowed Professorship: a grand and gracious
moment in the history of the College of Education.

Anything else before I take my leave? I am pleased that our stalwart College of Education continues its
excellence in teacher training, just as at its beginning 136 years ago. And, finally, for whatever reason I was
chosen to be highlighted in this column, I express my most grateful and heartfelt thanks for remembering me!
Thank you, Professor Sosnowsky, for all of the invaluable contributions you’ve made to the college
over many years!

Freedom Place After-School Enrichment Program
BREAKING NEWS!
As this issue of The Educator

Education was notified that the
following COE faculty members
have been granted promotion
and/or tenure this year:
Randall Gretebeck (KHS)
Alan Hoffman (TBF)

In 1992, Wayne State University (WSU) alumnus
Walter Cohen, a partner in the University Limited
Housing Association, had a great idea. The association
owns Freedom Place, a low-income apartment complex,
and Cohen decided the Freedom Place children should
be encouraged to aspire to, and be prepared for, college.
He approached WSU’s College of Education (COE)
about a partnership, which resulted in the establishment of the Freedom Place After-School Enrichment
Program, initially coordinated through the college’s
Division of Teacher Education and now through the
Division of Kinesiology, Health and Sport Studies.
Supported with funds from the University Limited
Housing Association, this after-school enrichment
program for 30 lower- and upper-elementary students
provides academic tutoring, technology skill-learning
and recreation activities for children living in the
apartments near the university’s campus. Program
highlights include:
• Academic Program - social studies, math and language
arts materials obtained from the Detroit Public Schools
help the children prepare for MEAP testing;
• Physical Fitness Program - exercise sessions utilize
pedometers and children learn about geography
as a part of their exercise.
Efforts to develop additional projects and to secure
other partnerships in the community are underway.
For more information regarding this program, please
contact Linda Jimenez (313) 577-5134 ([email protected]),
adjunct faculty member in COE’s Division of Kinesiology,
Health and Sport Studies (KHS). Sarah Erbaugh, PhD,
KHS assistant dean, is co-coordinator of the project. ■
• Cooking Program - use of cooking and baking
activities to teach math skills;
• Technology and Science Program - the children
most recently built a working solar-powered vehicle;
• Computer Literacy Program - upper elementary
students created their own e-mail addresses and
learned to routinely utilize e-mail;
Children involved in the Freedom Place After-School Enrichment
Program enjoy a Halloween party last October, one of many
activities in which they participate over the school year.

COLLEGE OF EDUCATION ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OFFICERS
AND EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS, 2003-2004
President’s Message: James Ellison,
President, WSU College of Education
Alumni Association
Outgoing COE Alumni Association
President James Ellison.
The dictionary defines the word
“leader” as an individual who
is out front: “a person playing
the principal role.” Leadership
is an extension of this same
definition, with the added
variable of “responsibility.”
When it comes to leadership
in education, the demands of
responsibility are multiplied.
Many people outside of
education seem to believe that
leading a school or school
district is easy, requiring not
much more than an engaging
personality, personal contacts
and patience with young
people. As all of us directly
involved in education know,
this is far from true. Even with
these qualities, the addition of
a master’s degree and beyond,
a minimum of five years of
teaching experience, vast
knowledge of the curriculum,
and a vision for the school
district, the day-to-day responsibilities are still daunting. The
federal No Child Left Behind
Act has increased these
O ff i c e r s
responsibilities as it increased
accountability, and thus leadership in our schools has
become even more important.
Because of his leadership in
these difficult times, the College
of Education Alumni Association
chose Kenneth S. Burnley,
Detroit Public Schools CEO,
to receive the association’s
Distinguished Educator of
the Year Award (see article
on page 13). We salute Dr.
Burnley for the many positive
changes made by his administration. We believe the young
people and other citizens of
Detroit are fortunate to have a
leader of his magnitude and
ability, and we extend our
congratulations for his many
accomplishments and our
thanks for his leadership. ■
