Endeavors - NIU College of Education
College of Education Endeavors Vol.7 /Spring 2008 Message from the Dean I greatly appreciate the support, encouragement, and care that you have given to the College of Education this year. Your support has helped our College remain vibrant and resilient in its efforts to move forward as a premier College of Education. As you will read in this issue of Endeavors, our students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends are truly amazing individuals who are all over the world, working to improve their communities. Their passion for education is contagious, and I have been energized and enlightened in my numerous meetings with alumni and friends over the course of the year. Lemuel W. Watson, Dean This year has also brought tremendous transitions for the university and the college. With a new dean, new leadership in four departments and two new associate deans, we proceeded with a strategic plan for the College and continued to prepare for our National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) visit. I am very pleased with the progress we have made this year and highly optimistic about what our future holds. Visit www.cedu.niu.edu u for more information about our strategic plan and other initiatives. This issue of Endeavors presents various stories about how NIU’s College of Education is changing the region and the world. Our faculty continue to work to obtain funding to support their research and outreach projects, some of which are highlighted in this issue. Each project reaffirms the College’s unique role in researching important issues and then sharing the results with the public to influence practice. As you’ll also see, the College is expanding its reputation as a valuable international partner and is bringing the benefits of those partnerships directly back to our students. Finally, we should all pause from our daily routines to give thanks for this wonderful life we have been given. The February 14, 2008, shooting reminds us that life is so very fragile. As we remember our losses and the families of those involved, we grieve deeply. But the many stories we have heard of grace and courage and compassion in the aftermath of this event have given us hope, fed our souls, and have made all of us so very proud to be a part of Northern Illinois University. Finally, the rapid pace and the energy extended to lead a College of Education are tremendous. Yet, from alumni gatherings to national board meetings, I am inspired by the stories I hear from so many of you. I am humbled and honored to be part of the NIU family, and I look forward to meeting more of you. Lemuel W.

Because of our affiliation with NIU, the legislators knew us and welcomed our views on a variety of issues and legislation related to education in Illinois.” Soon, Jacoby was chairing the Illinois Education Roundtable, a consortium of nineteen school leadership associations and organizations representing over 13,000 school leaders and 230,000 teachers and other personnel. He is also one of the principal contributors to the Burnham Plan for World Class Education, which calls for sweeping reform in school quality and accountability in Illinois. The Plan addresses a number of issues related to accountability, the quality and scope of education, and school funding and finance. With Illinois ranked 48th in the nation in terms of support for schools, the Burnham Plan seeks to boost achievement and develop a new, permanent revenue source for schools, providing a comprehensive solution to Illinois’ ongoing school quality and educational funding crises. Michael Jacoby, Illinois ASBO It has been said that in the business world, everyone is paid in two coins: cash and experience. What’s next for the field? Jacoby says that schools will face increasing calls for accountability and transparency. He anticipates that Illinois ASBO will be deeply involved in facilitating and helping schools analyze how and where they are spending their money as well as how they stack up with peer districts in terms of resource utilization and environmental issues. The Illinois Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) is concerned with both. Founded in 1952, Illinois ASBO is an association devoted to the School Business Management profession; those in this profession are most often thought of as “budget people,” but in reality they wear many different hats. Besides school finance, school business officials are involved in personnel issues, risk management, technology planning and transportation. There are currently 2,160 members in Illinois ASBO. About Illinois ASBO Founded: 1952 Mission: The mission of the Illinois Association of School Business Officials is to provide its members and stakeholders a comprehensive range of professional development activities and services. “Our role is three-fold,” says executive director Michael Jacoby. “We provide professional development for our members with over 100 seminars and conferences per year, we act as a voice for our members in legislative matters, and then we also develop and administer programs for schools, such as the Illinois Energy Consortium, the Illinois School District Liquid Asset Pool, and the Procurement Card program, all of which provide significant cost savings to districts through shared resources and streamlined services.” Membership: 2,160 members Executive Director: Michael A. Jacoby Phone: (815) 753-1276 Jacoby took the helm of Illinois ASBO in 2006, and one of his first charges was to step up the organization’s role in the policy arena. “Success was almost immediate,” says Jacoby. “People wanted us at the table and appreciated Email: [email protected] Website: www.iasbo.org 1 Impacting Practice and Policy Finding Their VOICE How do you measure the impact of an idea? of her personality that others outside of our family may not see. It conveys an understanding of her, of how she communicates, and of what she wants for the future.” For Traci Van Laarhoven-Myers and Toni Van Laarhoven, it is in their sister, Steffanie’s, reaction to a multimedia presentation of music, video, pictures, and slides that represent her likes, dislikes, needs, and dreams for the future. Empowering Students As a vocational coordinator at Waubonsie Valley High School, Van Laarhoven-Myers has assisted several students in the district with preparing their presentations, and the students’ responses have been “amazing.” “Personally, I am excited to see the responses to the presentations,” Van Laarhoven-Myers says. “I know how captivated and enthralled Steffanie was when she watched the first draft of her presentation, and I’m seeing the same reaction over and over again in our students.” Steffanie is a 46-year old woman who has “pretty significant developmental disabilities” and cannot communicate in traditional ways. Through Project MY VOICE (Multimedia for Youth to Voice Outcomes Individually Created for Empowerment), project directors Toni and Traci, along with NIU Professor Jesse “Woody” Johnson and graduate assistant Heather Johnson, have given Steffanie and others with developmental disabilities a “voice” for communicating who they are, what they like, what they dislike, and what they want for the future. Speech pathologist Danielle Kos and special education teacher Katie Neary, who are part of the Multi-Needs Team piloting the project at Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, Ill., are finding the same reactions with their students. “Watching Steffanie react to her presentation was so amazing,” says Van Laarhoven, an associate professor in the College of Education’s Department of Teaching and Learning. “She laughed and wanted to see parts of it over and over again. It really captures the subtleties Through MY VOICE, Kos and Neary work with their students to develop presentations that the students will use at their Individualized Educational Program (IEP) meetings. IEP meetings, which include the student and his/her parents, teachers, case manager, counselor, and related service providers, are used to gauge a student’s progress in meeting goals as well as formulate new goals and action steps for the future. Knowing the student’s needs, wants, desires, etc., is crucial in developing an effective IEP. “MY VOICE really empowers the students,” says Kos. “It helps communicate all the dimensions of their personalities. Their sense of pride is evident – when they see their entire presentation for the first time, their faces just light up!” “Because of MY VOICE,” says Neary, “our students can participate more fully in their IEP. The student is the most important person in the room, and their MY VOICE presentation helps everyone involved in the IEP understand what that student would like to accomplish during their school years and after.” (L-R) Traci Van Laarhoven-Myers, Elaine Leslie Baker, Steffanie Van Laarhoven, and Toni Van Laarhoven 2 ‘Phenomenal Support’ from College of Education NIU students who are majoring in special education are also a key part of the project. Last fall, NIU students began working with 13 students with special needs at Neuqua High School, 13 students from Waubonsie Valley High School, and four students from the STEPS program (the transition program in Indian Prairie School District). “The support and extra help that Toni, Traci, Woody, Heather, and the students from NIU have provided has been phenomenal,” says Neary. “We could never have accomplished all this without them. They thought of everything, down to the smallest detail. We have received great support.” “MY VOICE helps to eliminate some of the communication barriers for our students,” says Kos. “It empowers them to share their wants, needs, and desires, a right that everyone deserves. MY VOICE helps them do just that.” Katie Neary and Danielle Kos Multimedia is the Key The idea for Project MY VOICE came about when Van Laarhoven read and thought about other projects to help individuals with developmental disabilities communicate more effectively. The “Aha!” moment arrived when she realized that “Multimedia was IT!” She approached her sister, Traci, who has taught and worked with youth with developmental disabilities for more than a decade, to brainstorm the idea. Multimedia for Youth to Voice Outcomes Individually Created for Empowerment (MY VOICE) Partners: NIU College of Education’s Department of Teaching and Learning and Indian Prairie School District #204 (Illinois) Funding: $340,000, three-year grant from the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities Project Description: The project provides tool kits, training materials and instruction for pre-service teachers, in-service educators and parents to assist youth with developmental disabilities between the ages of 16-21 to create multimedia presentations that reflect their dreams for the future. Through these presentations, students communicate their needs and desires and are able to participate more fully in their Individualized Educational Program (IEP). The IEP provides a framework for developing action plans to help them transition out of the school environment and into the adult world. “We started planning the project, and then the opportunity to apply for grant funding came up. Everyone was excited about participating, and we decided to go for it. All the pieces of the project just fell into place.” One of those pieces was receiving a three-year, $340,000 grant from the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities to support the collaborative pilot project between Indian Prairie School District 204 and NIU’s College of Education. As a result, Van Laarhoven and her partners developed a huge binder of materials to help assess a student’s needs in eleven different life domains, such as communication, daily living, education, employment, recreational interests, health and safety, and interpersonal relationships. The grant also provided funding for hardware, software, and multimedia equipment for the school, as well as the specialized training the teachers needed to develop the students’ presentations.

Morgridge Endowed Chair Leads and Inspires It began in Carbondale, Illinois, with a group of deaf adolescents and an Apple IIe. • Completing a third-year assessment of the College’s Professional Development School and developing goals to enhance its effectiveness • Strengthening cross-departmental and interdisciplinary faculty collaboration in school-based work with partner districts With a background in speech pathology and education, Dr. Sharon Smaldino began working with socially and emotionally disturbed, deaf adolescents in a residential program. • Enhancing understanding of different learning styles and teaching techniques through colloquiums and symposiums featuring nationally recognized experts. “I realized immediately that I was in over my head,” she says. Undaunted, Smaldino enrolled in a doctoral program, just as the potential for technology as a classroom tool was accelerating. One morning, she lugged her PC (this was before laptops!) into her classroom of “ornery” adolescent students. They were fascinated. “Sharon clearly embodies the most important qualities in an endowed chair,” says Lemuel W. Watson, Dean of the NIU College of Education. “An endowed position is reserved for that professor who has a unique combination of extraordinary scholarship, outstanding service, and excellent teaching skills; Sharon is that rare individual. We are indeed indebted to the Morgridge family, whose generosity has allowed us to attract and retain someone of her caliber.” So, she brought it back the next day. And the next. Every day thereafter, she carried the heavy components from home to school and back again. Hooked on Technology Her heavy lifting paid off. “I found the hook,” she says. “Technology was what captured their attention and made them want to study.” Like her students, Smaldino became hooked on technology for teaching, and that has been her research focus ever since. Endowed Chair Makes the Difference An endowed chair is the key to attracting and retaining outstanding senior faculty. Those who establish endowed chairs are forever linked with the achievements of the faculty who hold the position. Earnings from endowed funds support salaries and help develop new courses, conduct collaborative research, and initiate international partnerships and scholarship. Faculty who hold chairs are models of intellectual engagement and commitment and are highly regarded in their fields. As NIU’s LD and Ruth G. Morgridge Chair in Teacher Education and Preparation, Smaldino focuses on the integration of technology into learning. She is not only exploring ways in which teachers use technology, but is also delving into how they make decisions about its use. She is investigating how teachers’ attitudes and approaches change as they become more comfortable with using technology. In addition to holding several national offices, Smaldino has maintained a personal scholarship agenda related to teacher education, technology and partnerships. She has published several articles and co-authored two books: Instructional Technology and Media for Learning (9th ed.) and Teaching and Learning at a Distance: Foundations of Distance Education (4th ed.). “I want to make it fun for everyone,” she says. “I want them to see the value of technology and to enjoy what they do with it. Technology should not be work; it should make work easier and more productive.” Scholarship and Service “Having this position allows me to pursue my research agenda while keeping me connected to students and colleagues,” she says. “I feel so very fortunate to have this opportunity.” Smaldino’s passion and vision are best illustrated in what she has accomplished during her tenure as Morgridge Chair, which includes: • Enhancing technology use and approaches to teaching in nine school districts by leading the College’s SchoolUniversity Partnership initiative • Expanding the use of technology by College of Education faculty through workshops and courses on the effective use of newer technology tools 4 Interactive Illinois Report Card Web tool provides side-by-side comparisons of schools’ progress and compliance. The IIRC site allows for comparison in any of a variety of categories, including students test performance, per-pupil spending, ethnic and racial diversity, enrollment, teacher qualifications, average salaries and levels of tax support. Users can choose up to 15 schools for comparison over a multi-year period. Confused about the ISAT or PSAE? Wondering if your child’s school is making adequate progress according to “No Child Left Behind?” Curious about which schools are on the Illinois Honor Roll? “This is a marvelous tool for parents and educators alike,” says Lemuel W. Watson, Dean of the NIU College of Education. “At a time when increasing emphasis is placed on accountability, data-driven decision making, and evaluation, the IIRC provides the information we need to ensure high standards and positive outcomes in the classroom. It is a comprehensive and easy-to-use data base that helps teachers and administrators at all levels improve curriculum and instruction.” Parents, teachers and administrators, and the public at large can find answers to these questions and many more on the web at the Illinois Interactive Report Card (IIRC) site: http://iirc.niu.edu. Created by researchers at NIU in partnership with the Illinois State Board of Education, IIRC offers an up to date, richly dynamic, and interactive resource that presents a vast array of information on Illinois schools and their students’ performance in a “one stop,” easily navigated site. Unique Tool for Comparison One of the most helpful aspects of the site is that it allows users to compare schools side-by-side, based on data that they select. “School-to-school comparisons are a very powerful way to permit teachers and parents to identify exemplary schools and see what they’re doing right,” says project director Harvey Smith, Assistant Chair in NIU’s history department. “There are a number of school assessment Web resources, but what makes the IIRC unique is collaboration with the schools and educators to design a very clear and useful data base that helps teachers and school administrators improve their classroom instruction.” Illinois Interactive Report Card web site 5 Impacting Practice and Policy The “Write” Words really teach in the twenty-first century,” was published by Houghton Mifflin Company.

Both Niemi and Ilsley received prestigious Fulbright Fellowships to pursue work in Finland. As a result, many College of Education faculty have visited the country in recent years, producing research publications, joint teaching endeavors and collaborative programs and grant applications. NIU and Finnish universities stand at the forefront of online course development. The Department of Counseling, Adult and Higher Education has a rich history of collaboration with China, dating to 1986, when a formal agreement providing for faculty and student exchanges was established. Shortly after, NIU and the Shanghai Second Institute of Education (SSIE) signed the first of several five-year agreements for such exchanges. Ilsley, who researches comparative aspects of civil society in Finland, China, and the U.S., believes the Finnish connection is vital to NIU and beyond. “By many accounts, the most successful education system in the world is found in Finland,” he says. “Finnish citizens are among the best educated, possess the greatest appetite for reading, they speak the greatest number of languages, and, simply put, have the most civil society on earth. We would do well to develop a better understanding of their systems and their culture.” In the coming years, exchanges of books, resources, students and faculty took place, along with the first of many study abroad trips to China. SSIE staff translated several adult education publications into Chinese, and NIU College of Education faculty co-authored with SSIE faculty scholarly manuscripts on adult education in China. In 1991, NIU hosted the first NIU/SSIE joint conference with attendees from seven countries. Over time, numerous students, faculty, and administrators have visited SSIE to study, teach, and strengthen the international bond between these diverse institutions and countries. Kenya Global Reach, Global Impact The College of Education and its students have benefited tremendously from our faculty’s international work and research. Following are brief descriptions of a few of the College’s international partnerships: A number of faculty members in the Department of Teaching and Learning (TLRN) are continuing their work in Kenya, concentrated in Mwala, a small village 90 miles southeast of Nairobi. Led by TLRN professor and Kenya native Dr. Moses Mutuku u and his colleagues, Dr. Maylan Dunn-Kenney y and Dr. C. Sheldon Woods, the group has been involved in various initiatives in this rural village, including constructing water dams and tanks, building a community library, and instructing villagers regarding the important role of family in a child’s education. They also worked with upper primary schools on disease prevention and trained teachers on the latest research in early childhood and elementary education and techniques for applying it to the classroom. The longer-term project goal is to influence the Kenyan government in the development of educational opportunities for rural areas. That tradition continues today, with Dean Lemuel Watson and Department of Counseling, Adult and Higher Education (CAHE) faculty members Dr. Gene Roth and Dr. Wei Hung traveling to China in October 2007 to meet with leaders at several universities and institutes. A number of CoE doctoral students accompanied them, presenting research papers at the Asian Chapter Conference of the Academy of Human Resource Development in Beijing and to network with their Chinese peers. International experiences such as these build international understanding and demonstrate the importance of global thinking in regards to research agendas. Sri Lanka and India Dr. Laurel Jeriss of the Department of Counseling, Adult and Higher Education is leading an effort focusing on poverty alleviation and capacity building in Sri Lanka and India. Developed in 2002, Project GROW (Grassroots Organizing by Women) is a collaborative effort involving the College of Education, NIU’s International Training Office, and the office of University Resources for Women with four prominent nongovernmental organizations (NGO) Finland Spearheaded by the late Dr. John A. Niemii and continued by Dr. Paul Ilsley, y the College has been working in Finland since 1985. Through numerous academic exchanges, 8 in Sri Lanka: Agromart Foundation, Centre for Women’s Research, Sarvodaya Women’s Movement, and the Muslim Women’s Research and Action Forum. Presidential Teaching Professor The projects goals are to build the capacities of NGO leaders, to alleviate poverty, and to strengthen women’s participation in grassroots democracy. In December 2007, Jeris led a student study group that visited and interacted with community development leaders, higher education faculty, and NGO partners to observe post-tsunami recover work and to develop a better understanding of the multiethnic contexts of both countries. This groundbreaking work, which emphasizes empowerment for responsible and active participation by women in democratic processes, is leveraging significant resources, expertise, creativity, and new technology. All partners envision that the project will have a tremendous multiplier effect on the communities and the regions. Professor Toni Tollerud, d codirector of the NIU Center for Child Welfare and Education and professor in the Department of Counseling, Adult and Higher Education, is one of the recipients of the 2008 NIU Presidential Teaching Professorships. Only three such professorships are awarded each year. Tollerud will hold this prestigious award for a four-year period, from July 1, 2008-June 30, 2012. Korea Toni Tollerud A professor at NIU since 1990, Tollerud has been involved in education and counseling for over 35 years. She has served as a director of the Illinois School Counselors’ Academy and is a past president of the Illinois Counseling Association. Adult and Continuing Education alumnus Kyung Hi Kim was the catalyst for developing the relationships between NIU and several Korean universities. In 1996, she assisted Ki-Hyung Hong, a well-known South Korean scholar, in planning an international congress hosted by Chung-Ang University in Seoul. Several NIU faculty members presented papers at the congress. In 1997, NIU returned the favor by hosting a study abroad program of 15 students from the university. Alumnus Kyung Hi Kim, who helped organize the program, went on to become a professor at Kyungnam University, and brought a study group of about 20 students to NIU in 2001. A collaborative study aboard agreement between NIU and Kyungnam University was formalized in November of 2002 in Korea, with then-Provost Ivan Legg and Dr. Gene Roth (CAHE) attending the signing ceremony. In 2005, Tollerud was a member of the committee that developed the Social/Emotional Learning Standards that are now part of the Illinois School Code. She has been an outspoken advocate for children’s rights and welfare, authoring legislation and conducting workshops on such issues as gender equity, youth and violence, and eating disorders. Tollerud’s honors include the American School Counselor Association’s 2001 Advocate of the Year Award, the 2006 Illinois Mental Health Counselors Distinguished Service Award and the 1996 Illinois Counseling Association Counselor of the Year. Numerous visiting professors and doctoral students from Korea have come to NIU as a result of these relationships. During a March 2008 trip to Korea, Dean Lemuel Watson and Dr. Gene Roth visited friends and colleagues at Kyungnam University and Chung-Ang University. They also met with several NIU College of Education alumni, including Hae Young Lee, Han Sik Shim, Kyung-Hi Kim and Min Byoung Chul. Colonel Hyo Sun Park, a doctoral student at Chung-Ang University, will be a visiting scholar in the College’s Adult and Higher Education program in fall 2008. Her work at the NIU Center for Child Welfare and Education includes strengthening services to post-secondary and college students and working with teachers, counselors and social workers to improve outcomes for wards of the state. The NIU Presidential Teaching Professorships were established in 1991 to recognize faculty who have demonstrated their commitment to and success in the many activities associated with outstanding teaching. The award provides budgetary support and release time for the enhancement of teaching skills. Following the fouryear fellowship period, the recipient is a permanently designated Distinguished Teaching Professor. 9 Impacting Practice and Policy New Associate Deans In the past year, the College of Education has welcomed two new associate deans to its administrative team: Dr. Carol Logan Patitu, Associate Dean Dr. Patitu joined NIU in 2007, coming from the State University of New York at Buffalo, where she was professor and chair in the Department of Student Personnel Administration.

Through a series of “First Person” articles for the Chronicle of Higher Education, Flynn, Kemp and Madrid are sharing their diverse perspectives as new faculty members in the college’s department of teaching and learning. Their first column, “On-the-Job Training,” appeared in the February 1st issue of the Chronicle, followed quickly by their observations about the campus shooting in the Chronicle’s February 29th issue. Columns will run on a periodic basis through their tenure decision. It takes . . . a deep commitment to the profession. – Samara Madrid Kemp came up with the idea for the column. He noticed that the Chronicle e always had interesting articles about conferences, careers, tenure, and other higher education issues, but lacked articles geared toward new faculty members. On an impulse, he called the editors and pitched the idea for a column written about – and by – new faculty. He was thrilled when the Chronicle e accepted the proposal. The process of collaborating on a column has worked very well. “We fell right into it,” Madrid says. “We don’t really write together that much. We decide on a common theme, write separately, and then pull [our pieces] together to make sure we are in fact individual and not repetitive. We really do try to ‘check’ our egos and accept that we are all just trying to help each other be better writers and make a stronger column.” In the end, we must all shake the sand from our sandals and journey on. – Joseph Flynn to be a researcher, a teacher, a mentor, an adviser, a member of the academic community.” Entering the professoriate, they say, brought a mix of emotions: excitement, fear, surprise, anticipation, and anxiety, all wrapped in the thrill of knowing that their years of study and hard work had paid off. But what does it mean to be a part of that community? Will I be successful in academe? Can I make the cut?? Flynn, Kemp and Madrid explore these and other questions as they work toward becoming tenured professors. But, the answers don’t come easily, and the process can be challenging. And, as Madrid wisely notes, “It takes daily practice, discipline, sweat, tears, and most of all, a deep commitment to the profession.” It is that commitment that fuels these fine young professors whose ambition and promise and professionalism make for inspiring reading. To follow along on Flynn, Kemp and Madrid’s journey, go to: www.chronicle.com and enter one of their names in the “search” box. The column is enriched by the writers’ different backgrounds along the lines of gender, race, regional perspective, etc. Their observations are authentic, insightful, and at times, painfully honest: “Is it possible to be filled with confidence and fear at the same time?” writes Kemp. “I have no idea where the fear comes from. Perhaps it is because I am learning to become a professor, and all that it entails, and more than I imagined. I am learning Drew Kemp, Samara Madrid, and Joe Flynn 11 Beyond the Classroom: Student Successes Diversifying Higher Education Faculty in Illinois Nicholas Concepcion was at a turning point. He had lost his job after the “dot com” implosion and wanted to work in higher education. To do so, he would need a master’s degree, which meant more schooling and more debt. He had almost decided to forego the career change when he learned about the Diversifying Higher Education Faculty in Illinois (DFI) program at NIU. The statewide initiative is designed to encourage people of color to pursue advanced degrees and positions in higher education at state institutions. Concepcion applied, was accepted, and earned his master’s degree in 2006. NIU has 15 DFI fellows enrolled in a variety of graduate programs. Brandon Taylor, assistant professor of instructional design and technology at Chicago State University, is a DFI fellow in NIU’s College of Education. Taylor says that the fellowship made a huge impact on his education and career path. “It was a very good program,” he says. “I met the most outstanding people, networked with senior faculty and administrators, and received a great education. It was a very positive experience for me.” “Being a DFI fellow has meant a great deal to me,” he says. “Not only has the fellowship provided the needed financial support to pursue my doctorate degree in instructional technology, but it also provided me with access to professional development, mentoring, and networking.” Taylor plans to publish a book within the next five years; his longer-term goals are to become a premier authority in his field and to hold the office of university president. Highly Competitive Fellowships Connections and Opportunities While students of color have made great strides in higher education in the last decade, progress in increasing the number of faculty of color has been much slower. According to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, the number of underrepresented minority faculty at four-year institutions grew by only 3.8% nationwide between 1995 and 2005. Angie Stuckey and her daughter, Tracey Stuckey-Mickell, are both DFI fellows. Stuckey is working on her Ed.D. in the Department of Literacy Education and Stuckey-Mickell is pursuing her Ed.D. in the Department of Educational Technology, Research and Assessment. Both are grateful for the mentoring, encouragement and financial support they have received. Recognizing the impact of a diversified professoriate, the Illinois General Assembly created the DFI program in 2004. Its goals are to encourage minority students to complete graduate studies, pursue research agendas and publish, with the larger purpose of enhancing the diversity of faculty and professional staff at Illinois colleges and universities. Only full-time students with demonstrated financial need receive these highly competitive fellowships, and recipients must agree to seek and accept a position in an Illinois educational institution. Stuckey says that the best thing “is the ‘belongingness’ you feel from being a part of a group of people with like minds.” Her long-term goals include establishing a non-profit group to serve the educational needs of underprepared adolescents. (L-R) Angie Stuckey, Tracey Stuckey-Mickell, Quincy Paden, LaMetra Curry, and Tammy Holmes Stuckey-Mickell points to the annual conference as especially helpful. “The conference gives us a chance to bond with developing scholars and successful professionals in higher education,” she says. “I have had the opportunity to meet with others who were facing obstacles similar to mine.” Her studies and networking have paid off: In June, Stuckey-Mickell will begin her position as Director of Nontraditional Learning at Moraine Valley Community College. The link to employment opportunities and contacts is key, says DFI fellow Tammy Holmes. “DFI has provided opportunities that I would otherwise not have been able to access,” she says. Quincy Paden, another DFI fellow, agrees, noting that the program has made a tremendous difference in his life. “Being selected for such a competitive program is one of the best things that has happened to me. DFI has afforded me the financial freedom to fulfill my educational dreams while simultaneously realizing my life goals.” 12 Doctoral Students: A Winning Tradition We extend congratulations to the following students whose nationally recognized accomplishments exemplify the College of Education’s high standards.

Doctoral student Jes Cisneros, Assistant Director of the NIU Honors Program, was selected as the 2008 AERA Division F graduate student representative (history and historiography) for his presentation on the use of instructional technology by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s. Cisneros was also invited to participate in the mentoring seminar for graduate students and new faculty and will help plan next year’s event. Leadership, Educational Psychology and Foundations Doctoral student Stacy Haack Kelly, y who will defend her dissertation in June 2008, has landed a job as a policy researcher with the American Foundation for the Blind, the premier national organization in the field of blindness and visual impairment. Kelly also completed two Ironman Triathlon competitions while pursuing her doctoral degree. Teaching and Learning Doctoral candidate Mary C. Brennan n co-authored “Critical Literacy and Multiliteracies in a First Grade Classroom,” which appeared in the July 2007 issue of Language Arts. Brennan’s research, which is supported by a Spencer grant, was presented at the NCTE convention in November 2007. 13 Alumni News and Events A Professor Who Changed My Life by Thomas L. Nolan, Jr. Being recently asked which professor influenced me the most, or made the biggest difference in my NIU experience, I reviewed some important events such as the dissertation defense and graduation. Part of the reason I wanted to be a full-time graduate student was the unique experience of being on campus: the people you meet, the meetings you can participate in, and the seminars you attend. Tom Nolan Bob kept me on task, asked the tough questions so my dissertation would read well, and made certain my committee was up to date and that I was prepared for them. In addition, Bob Mason supported each of his graduates when they moved on to the next phase of their life. He frequently would be on the phone with prospective employers extolling the virtues of his students. It worked – they got jobs. Robert Mason I learned from Bob Mason that there is a system, and it exists for a reason. He encouraged me to know the system, and then make it work for me. In the grand scheme of things, all of these experiences were invaluable lessons. My epiphany came with the selection of an adviser. As the deadline approached, I went to a meeting where refreshments would be served following the session so students could meet and chat with some professors. This is when I met Prof. Robert C. Mason. I asked him if he would consider being my adviser, and he said: “Not without your checking with other students about how I work and what I expect.” After chatting with a number of his past and then-current advisees, I was certain Bob Mason was the right adviser for me.

One of Korea’s best known intercultural educators, Byoung-chul is a businessman and founder of the Sunfull Movement, which aims to eliminate cyberbullying on the Internet. He is chairman of BCM Educational Group, which operates 34 English language schools and publishes English language materials. Byoung-chul is also the author of the bestselling cultural guidebook, Ugly Koreans, Ugly Americans. provided a national platform through which he taught English and raised awareness about social issues. He also initiated several English language contests with the goal of promoting friendship through the English language. Most recently, Byoung-chul launched the Sunfull Movement to eliminate cyber bullying on the Internet. Cyber bullying involves bullying through electronic media, including E-mail, cell phone and pager text messages, instant messaging, and defamatory Web sites. This form of abuse is particularly Byoung-chul Min Boyung-chul emigrated from Seoul, dangerous and cowardly, due to the South Korea to Chicago in 1975, where anonymity afforded by the Internet.

His vision is grand, but his enthusiasm is deep and Korean leaders asked Byoung-chul to return to Seoul to moderate the MBC-TV English Program; that program infectious. We applaud Byoung-chul’s efforts to create a more peaceful, global village and look forward to his continued success. Alumnus Named Western Michigan University President Dr. John M. Dunn n took over the reigns of Western Michigan University this past July 1st. He previously served as provost, vice chancellor and interim chancellor of Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, and was selected by unanimous vote of the WMU Board of Trustees. As an educator for over 30 years, Dunn was dean of the University of Utah’s College of Health before moving to SIU. Prior to that, he held positions of associate provost, assistant dean of Health and Human Performance, and chair of the Department of Exercise and Sport Science at Oregon State, where his career spanned 20 years. research papers and book chapters. He has held offices with numerous national organizations, including those of current president of the American Academy of Kinesiology and Physical Education and past president of the Research Consortium of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. Dunn earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education at Northern Illinois University. He is the nephew of Dr. J. Hubert Dunn, Professor Emeritus, Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education. John M. Dunn Internationally recognized for his research and writing about the long-term health of individuals with disabilities, Dunn is the author of more than 50 We extend warm congratulations to Dr. Dunn as he continues to serve the educational community as president of Western Michigan University. 15 Our Donors, Our Future Parker Receives Alyce Kramer Marcus Outstanding Educator Award The College of Education is pleased to announce that Dr. Jenny Parker, associate professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education (KNPE), has received the first Alyce Kramer Marcus Outstanding Educator Award. The award recognizes a professor who has influenced students, who instills a love of learning in her students, and who demonstrates a passion for teaching. The award was established by NIU alumnus Joyce Marcus, to honor her mother’s love of learning and special gift for teaching. Joyce and her mother, Alyce, look forward to meeting Dr. Parker. A student favorite since arriving at NIU in 1995, Parker is known for teaching extended (none less than three hours) classes with a pedagogy focus that provides real-world experiences and demand active learning. She teaches both within and outside of the traditional classroom, serving as a faculty advisor for TEACH House since 2003, where she shares her expertise to help residents explore a variety of teaching issues. For one activity, Dr. Parker developed “Games in the Classroom,” in which she helped students explore ways to make learning fun and engaging while avoiding some of the pitfalls of this type of activity. Jenny Parker, KNPE She also engages students in community service and fundraising activities; she regularly incorporates a class project to raise money for a community group or cause. Her students have held fun runs and bowling nights and have sent care packages to military service personnel. Students take the lead in all aspects of planning, developing, and implementing the projects, with Dr. Parker serving as mentor and advisor. Students rave about Dr. Parker and her teaching abilities, saying, • Alyce Kramer Marcus and Joyce Marcus • “Dr. Parker expects a lot, and she has a way of getting your best. Don’t take her class unless you’re ready to grow, because she’ll make you think. And, she’ll make you stretch outside your comfort zone.” • “I now try to set my standards to her level. To be able to teach in the creative, caring and educating manner that she taught me will be my unending goal.” • “You can just tell by the way she teaches her classes that she loves teaching. She has a way about her that makes learning fun and understandable.” • “She is not just my teacher, but my friend, and most of all, a person I look up to.” In all areas of teaching, Dr. Jenny Parker goes well above and beyond what might be expected. She provides students with open avenues to reach her and spends considerable time working with students who are having difficulties. Dr. Parker has devoted her professional life to the mentoring of future physical education and kinesiology teachers and in so doing has become a tremendous role model for her colleagues, as well. The College of Education extends sincere congratulations to Dr. Jenny Parker on being selected to receive the Alyce Kramer Marcus Outstanding Educator Award. “Her energy while teaching and for teaching is contagious.” 16 Forward, Together Forward In the days following February 14th, the same words of hope began to crop up on posters, banners, and marquees on the NIU campus and throughout the community: “Forward, Together Forward.” Loyal NIU alumni immediately recognized these words from the Huskie Fight Song, written in 1961 by Dr. Francis Stroup, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education. Stroup, 98, said he early on “cultivated a hobby of song writing with a particular interest in college songs.” Ten years after graduating from North Texas State University, he submitted an entry for his alma mater’s contest to find a fight song, and was surprised to learn that he had won. It remains the university’s song yet today. Stroup went on to compose songs for Drake University, Francis J. Stroup the University of Wyoming and the University of Chicago. His most popular ones include “Fight, North Texas,” and the Huskie Fight Song. Stroup and his wife, Marjorie, came to NIU in 1959, when he accepted a position as a physical education professor. The editor for the campus newspaper, the Northern Star, put out a call for an updated version of NIU’s fight song. Stroup listened to the tune several times, then applied his three-step technique (“Good songs must be easy to say, easy to sing, and easy to remember”) and began writing. The result was the “Huskie Fight Song,” which was officially adopted on April 30, 1963. It has been played and sung at countless athletic and alumni events in the 45 years since. Stroup retired from NIU in 1974. As a public school teacher, an Academic Instructor in the U.S. Air Force, and a college professor, he enjoyed a teaching career that lasted forty-five years. While at Southern State, he directed studies funded by the Ford Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education. Stroup is the author of two books and wrote a number of articles for professional journals. He was the first swimming coach at NIU and has been inducted in the Athletic Hall of Fame at both North Texas and NIU. “Forward, Together Forward” is also a fitting motto for Stroup’s relationship with fellow Professor Emeritus in the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education, Dr. J. Hubert Dunn. Dunn joined NIU just three years after Stroup, in 1962, after serving fifteen years at Washington Sate University as a physical education teacher and gymnastics coach; he retired from NIU in 1986. A World War II veteran, Dunn participated in the D-Day invasions of Northern France (Normandy) and Southern France as a Communications Officer aboard the USS Shubrick (destroyer). Dunn’s awards are numerous, including the honor of being the first J. Hubert Dunn faculty member in the College of Education to receive NIU’s Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award. He has been inducted into several Halls of Fame, including those of USA Gymnastics, Washington State University Athletics, and his beloved NIU Athletics. As colleagues, Stroup and Dunn not only taught and conducted research together, they also developed a deep friendship that continues to this day. That relationship led to their establishing the Stroup-Dunn Scholarship for graduate students in the department who are specializing in Biomechanics or Exercise Physiology. The endowment is a fitting tribute to their lasting friendship, their commitment to education, and their deeply held love for NIU.

Joan Popp Dr. Popp retired from the Department of Physical Education at NIU in August of 1995, after thirty-six years of service. A native of Middletown, Ohio, she taught at Capital University (Bexley, OH), and Valparaiso University before coming to NIU. Her education includes a B.S. in physical education/dance and zoology from Miami (OH) University, an M.A. M. Joan Popp from Ohio State University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Iowa, with an emphasis in body mechanics and kinesiology. At NIU, Dr. Popp not only taught classes, but also served on numerous committees, including the department and college curriculum and personnel committees, the University Academic Planning Committee, the University Council, and the Faculty Senate. She was president of the NIU Faculty Club and the Organization for Academic Women’s Equality. Dr. Popp held offices with many state and regional organizations, including the Northern District of the Illinois Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance; the Illinois Association for Professional Preparation in Health, Physical Education and Recreation; and the Midwest Association for College and University Physical Education. She received the Life Member Award from Delta Psi Kappa National Honor Society; the Physical Educator of the Year award from the Northern District of Illinois Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance; and the Honor Fellow Award, which is the highest honor bestowed by the Illinois Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. Dr. Popp’s philanthropy resulted from her own experience. She worked for a year after graduating from high school before attending college, and also worked at the university part-time and every summer to be able to afford college expenses. She knows how hard it is to work and keep up with academics, so she established the Dr. M. Joan Popp Endowed Scholarship to assist female students majoring in physical education, kinesiology or athletic training. “I consider it an honor to be able to help deserving students through this scholarship fund,” she says. “NIU has meant so much to me, and it has been my great privilege to be associated with this fine university.” In addition to her endowed scholarship, Dr. Popp has also established a charitable gift annuity, the proceeds from which will be added to her scholarship fund in the future. Dr. J. Hubert Dunn Dr. Dunn provided 24 years of dedicated service to NIU before retiring in 1986. He has received numerous honors, including NIU’s Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award, and has been inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame, the Washington State University Athletics Hall of Fame, and the Northern Illinois University Athletics Hall of Fame. With his colleague in the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education, Dr. Francis Stroup, he established the Stroup-Dunn Scholarship, an endowment to support graduate students specializing in Biomechanics or Exercise Physiology. (Read more about Dr. Dunn on the previous page.) Dr. Francis J. Stroup Best-known as the author of the lyrics to NIU’s fight song, “Forward, Together Forward,” Dr. Stroup provided fifteen years of service to NIU before retiring in 1974. His fortyfive year teaching career ran the full spectrum, from public school teacher to academic instructor for the U.S. Air Force to college professor. Dr. Stroup has authored two books and has been inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame at North Texas State University and at Northern Illinois University. With his friend and fellow KNPE professor, Dr. J.

Over the years, this “Double Huskie” couple (both graduates of the College of Education) have maintained strong ties to their alma mater, attending athletic events, alumni association gatherings, helping to host College of Education events, and volunteering their services for the college’s Alumni Council Board. Pat retired from teaching at Laidlaw School in 2001, and Dennis retired in 2002 after serving as a teacher, associate principal, and principal at various schools in Tinley Park. Dennis and Pat Gurney This “dynamic duo” has hosted several alumni events at their home in Chicago, and most recently hosted a gathering of college alumni in the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area. Pat and Dennis have volunteered countless hours at College-sponsored events, as well, greeting our newest alumni at the College’s post-commencement receptions and welcoming seasoned alums back to campus at the College’s Homecoming Tent festivities. For their continued dedication and unselfish service, the College of Education recognizes Dennis and Pat Gurney as true “Friends of the College.” Casey’s General Store of DeKalb, Illinois In preparing for students to return to campus after the tragedy of February 14th, the College of Education developed the idea of providing “food, beverages and friendly faces” at Hospitality Tables in five locations to welcome the students back to class. Calls went out to local businesses and restaurants, asking for donated items. When Tammy Fraedrich, manager of Casey’s General Store of DeKalb, received a phone call asking Casey’s to donate, she responded enthusiastically. Casey’s not only provided food and beverages, but they also generously volunteered to help host the hospitality tables. Regional Manager Debbie Faber, along with several Casey’s employees, helped to stock tables, hand out food and beverages, and offered a warm welcome to the returning students. Huskie Ribbon cookies and Red and Black doughnuts created by Sandi Jones were especially appreciated by all. The volunteers’ warmth and kindness was infectious, helping to ease the students’ transition back to campus. The generous spirit of Casey’s General Store and its employees was an unexpected and wonderful surprise – and one that was greatly appreciated. Their service and commitment to the College of Education truly exemplifies what it means to be a “Friend of the College.” 19 Our Donors, Our Future Julianna Gehant Memorial Scholarship Julianna Gehant Memorial Scholarship Contributors List Contributions as of May 15, 2008. Julianna Gehantt loved children, country music, and ballroom dancing. Most of all, she loved her tight-knit family and her homeland. Steven and Gail Adams Marguerite F. Key Alpha Upsilon Alpha Sara Lamberty Donald and Sheila Ary Richard and Ferne Landman While in high school, Julianna discovered her artistic side, participating in theater and making a portrait of her mother as a Christmas gift. More recently, one of her favorite pastimes was watching “Dancing with the Stars” with her mother; in fact, Julianna liked the program so much that she enrolled in a ballroom dancing class. That was typical of Julianna, who is described as a “go-getter” who pursued her goal of teaching with a keen enthusiasm. Susan V. Barkman Elizabeth C. Lane Frank and Marilyn Bazeli Richard and Holly Larson Before losing her life in the NIU campus shooting on February 14, 2008, Julianna was an active member of the NIU Veterans Club and a dean’s list student majoring in elementary education in the College of Education. She planned to teach second grade because she loved the innocence and creativity of that age. Family and friends describe her as smart, kind, conscientious, and courageous. She was a bright and highly motivated student who lit up a room with her smile and her positive attitude. She had a great sense of humor and an abiding love for children. Julianna served her country proudly for thirteen years and one month in the U.S. Army and the Army Reserves. She had joined the military right after high school and spent much of her young adult years traveling the world as part of an engineering unit. The 32-year-old soldier was promoted to Sergeant First Class (E-7) during the November 2007 board and had served tours of duty in Bosnia, Tonga, and Thailand, where she helped to build barracks and schools. Her military honors were extensive, and her experiences as a soldier influenced her career path. She took classes at military bases around the world and looked forward to the day when she would lead her own second-grade classroom. She was an outstanding leader, and had recently been selected to be one of only six instructors to teach for the military in Oahu during July and August of 2008. This scholarship is established to celebrate the life, the values, and the indomitable spirit of Julianna Gehant. Mary M. Bell Marnell W.
