4. Dean’s Office Report to the Faculty Maryann Santos de Barona

It is important that we know where we are today, why, where we are going, and for what purpose. We continue to deal with increasing issues each day that are more complex and require quicker responses than ever before. Our days are often focused on addressing these issues, but we are focusing on the details and not taking time to remind ourselves how all the things we are doing on a daily basis are moving us forward and making a difference. Just about every education dean that the Dean speaks with reports decreasing enrollments, and districts are talking about the challenges they are facing in filling teaching positions. Fewer numbers are entering the profession, a higher number is leaving, and a shortage is looming. Every college has decreasing enrollment. We participate in LEARN, the Learning and Education Academic Research Network, and the membership consists of other schools and colleges in education settings. LEARN informs legislators around particular topics. One page information sheets are put together and given to legislators for coordination between K-12 and higher education sectors, providing focus for a primer on preschool research. LEARN Deans make trips to Washington, DC and the Dean made this trip several weeks ago, along with another Indiana Dean and other deans from across the country. The group met with NSF and IES officials; as well as staffers from Indiana - all members of the Education and Workforce Committee; highlighted are members of Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education subcommittee. We encouraged them to support the Strengthening Education Through Research Act, and let them know what we are doing in our research efforts. We also met with staff from the Senate Appropriations Committee.

During the recent legislative session we tracked HB 1388 on teacher preparation accountability. A number of education deans, which included IU and Ball State, provided testimony on that bill and worked with our liaison to draft language for the bill. There were a number of folks in our College who assisted with this effort. The dean especially acknowledged Richard Frisbie, who was extremely helpful in reviewing and tracking the multiple drafts. While the perfect bill was not written, we do have a bill we can live with. Here on campus, much of the University’s energy this year has been focused on Big Moves with themes of accountability, affordability, and transformative education. While we were not specifically included in the Big Moves, we found places where we could fit well – our Big Ideas; the Dean was able to gain approval to use College resources for these. Earlier this year we spoke about moving to a new budget model that is more responsibility- centered and more dependent on enrollments. Our carry forward will be much more restricted, to around 15%, and we will have fewer discretionary dollars to work with. We have been able to secure some dollars and encumber them for initiatives such as the Launch the Future awards. Against this backdrop, our efforts are aligned with our strategic plans and what came from our retreats – STEM and Social Justice; doing our due diligence with our accrediting body; aligning our programs with the University’s core curriculum, as well as state requirements. There has been a lot to do and everyone has risen to the occasion. LEARNING This has been a transition year with Teresa Taber Doughty moving into Sidney Moon’s position. Teresa has moved quickly into her new role. We have a number of new programs, including the Special Education online Master’s program launching this fall. This is in partnership with Deltak, as is our LDT program. And, we are establishing a collaborative partnership with Special Education faculty at Purdue Calumet. Plans continue to move forward for the Learning Sciences major which is scheduled to launch in the fall of 2015. We have hired our first faculty member for this program, Toni Rogat, who is joining us this fall. ACCREDITATION Those of you in teacher preparation programs may have been part of discussions about the selection of a performance assessment for our teacher candidates. There seems to be a preference for edTPA. The Program Convener’s Council (PCC) is now videotaping all meetings so you can access their discussions on this topic. Adoption of edTPA will be voted on at the next PCC meeting. We continue to meet core requirements for Purdue’s Core Curriculum. RECRUITMENT Our Recruitment Committee is developing a strategic plan with short and long term strategies. Four recruitment videos were developed and are available for viewing; they are also part of the loop on the first floor monitor in Beering Hall. Many personal touches were made by Jimmy Parker, who visited about 100 schools and dropped off College items to

those admitted to the program. Teresa and others hand wrote more than 400 postcards of welcome to admitted students. There have been many campus recruiting events that are meant to highlight our programs. When we became aware of problems in the new common app, the Dean was able to lobby and make folks aware and in mid-cycle had changes made so that our majors could be more easily found within the app. We had to insist on gaining access and getting the solutions made. Admissions projected we would have only 81 students onboard by fall. This made us more determined to focus on recruiting. As of this morning we have exceeded the projections and have 104 students who have paid their admissions deposits and will be joining us. This group includes quite a few Presidential Scholars. The cycle will continue until May 1st. This validates the many efforts we have all made, but we are not yet where we need to be. We will be constantly looking at ways we can make a difference and increase the numbers. We have had quite a number of folks recognized recently, including: Charles B. Murphy Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award - David Eichinger Book of Great Teachers – David Eichinger, Peg Ertmer, and Bob Sabol Teaching Academy Induction - Carrie Wachter Morris IMPACT Fellows - Mike Yough 2013-2014, JoAnn Phillion and Jasmine Begeske 2014-

2015 Many thanks to Sidney Moon for her willingness to mentor both Teresa Taber

Doughty and Carla Johnson in their new positions. ENGAGEMENT This year we separated learning and engagement in the Associate Deans’ offices, with . Sidney Moon spending 50% of her time this year working in this area. The resulting increase in engagement activities led the Dean to request and receive approval for a half-time Associate Dean position to focus on engagement and global affairs. Carla Johnson is moving into this position in July but Sidney has been gracious in mentoring Carla the past several weeks. We have worked hard to insure a smooth transition. We have focused on building stronger partnerships with the Purdue Extended Campus (PEC) for fee-based learning and engagement programs. We are partnering with Wabash Valley Educational Center (WVEC) to expand programs for English Language Learners and STEM. Trish Morita-Mullaney, Carla Johnson, Lynn Bryan, and Kerry Hoffman have been involved and we have increased opportunities with superintendents in the 40 districts associated with WVEC. Many districts have reached out for help in a variety of areas; we now have a column in WVEC’s newsletter. In direct response to school requests, who want guidance in STEM, we have been developing more STEM related resources and opportunities including the development of the STEM Roadmap – an initiative focused on creating a K-12 curriculum STEM map. Our faculty are working with STEM experts across the nation, helping schools create for themselves more STEM opportunities for all children. The curriculum map will be completed by July. Carla Johnson, Lynn Bryan, Signe Kastberg, Laura Bofferding, Judy Lysaker, Alberto Rodriguez, and Tamara Moore are all part of this team. We are also partnering with IDOE and CATALYST for an upcoming event on May 20th, the Indiana STEM School Summit, looking at rolling out the STEM endorsement program from

the DOE, a project that has capacity for 100 participants; as of 10 days ago we were at full capacity. This summit will take place on campus in the DLRC for a full day. STEM Goes Rural remains important to what we do. All of the fellows from the 2013 cohort have been placed. We have recruited nine new fellows. This program is transitioning to state funding and we are working to develop a sustainable business model. As of today we can say the STEM Goes Rural will continue with us for the next two years and Woodrow Wilson will remain with us for those two years. Teresa Taber Doughty will take on many of the STEM Goes Rural initiatives and Kathy Dietz has agreed to serve as our recruitment coordinator. The Lily planning grant is moving forward with Lynn Bryan; this is a one year grant to plan a specialization program for students in the STEM discipline. Radio Disney and the ISTEM network have requested a number of Colleges to participate in some activities on the radio which focus children on real world problems. We expect that some of those activities will air in the future. IN PLANNING STAGES The Strategic Partnership Planning Committee has been meeting since fall to define the vision for a targeted strategic partnership with a school corporation and the COE. Department Heads have agreed to provide a course release for two faculty members to be engagement fellows and serve as feet on the ground within the school or School Corporation. The plan is for two faculty members to be in the partner district each semester. There will be an application process for these positions. We will release the call for applications the first week of May with applications due June 1st and decisions made by mid-July. The PD Portal is an exciting online engagement initiative that we think can involve large numbers of faculty in Professional Development, research, and outreach while increasing our visibility. We will talk about this more in the fall. GLOBAL AFFAIRS The College’s Study Abroad programs are some of the most robust across the campus. Our faculty were able to secure three SAIL grants this year; JoAnn Phillion-Honduras, Allen Talbert-Jamaica, and Kathy Obenchain-Romania. Seven programs are planned for this summer with 83 confirmed students. We have a group of faculty members who are planning a semester long Study

Abroad program in New Zealand. Our College is very involved through Gifted Education with the Colombia program,

and we are looking at the potential to bring some students over to participate in GERI’s activities soon.

Carla Johnson now serves on the Purdue Steering Committee for the initiative to create sustainable development in the Orinoquia region. They have begun developing externally funded international projects with support from organizations such as the US Department of State and USAID.

Anatoli Rapoport will be holding the second Benjamin Franklin Institute this summer. He is looking for host families for the participants. This is a four-week

summer institute and 45 students will be attending; 10 are from the United States and 35 are from various European countries. For 10 days they are expected to be hosted by a local family which is the most difficult part of this program. If you are interested in hosting an attendee, please contact Anatoli.

Jill Newton will be going to Africa. Our international outreach efforts are growing quite a bit. Last week the College

helped host Christie Vilsack from USAID and some faculty members, as well as some people from the community, were able to talk to her about their work. The feedback received from Ms. Vilsack was strong and she indicated how much she learned during her morning with us.

DIVERSITY While our efforts to increase diversity are moving slowly, including an explicit diversity expectation into job announcements appears to have helped. Many of the new faculty members joining us in the fall have strong interests in diversity and social justice. We thank Dorothy Reed for stepping up to assist with Lynette Flagge’s responsibilities while she was absent. SEARCHES We had a very successful search cycle this year:

EDST Charles Hicks Professorship – Ming Ming Chiu Measurement – Ann Traynor School Counseling – Amy Gaesser Ed Leadership – Matt Della Sala, Rachel Rogeman Learning Sciences – Tony Rogat Post doc – Aaron Rogat

EDCI Barbara I. Cook Chair – Wayne Wright Curriculum Studies – Stephanie Zywicki Cluster hire – Paul Asunda-Technology, Selcen Guzey-Biology, Minjung Ryu-Chemistry There are three hires to complete in the cluster hire; Physics Ed, Engineering Ed, and Agriculture Ed

EXTERNAL FUNDING Our external funding amount is $4M for this fiscal year, which is the second best in the last five years, with one-quarter remaining. We are continuing to have strong collaborations across campus. Keep up the good work. FACULTY DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT We have worked hard this year to improve our infrastructure to aid in your effectiveness. We developed a tier program called Launch the Future which will fund three Category I proposals; two on STEM and one on Diversity/Social Justice, at the $25K level:

Eric Deemer and Brenda Capobianco – “Preparing the Next Generation of STEM Innovators: Identifying and Contextualizing the Relationship Between Stereotype Threat and Identity Development Among Pre-Adolescents”

Youli Mantzicopoulos and Helen Patrick – “Measuring Teachers’ Subject-Specific Motivational Practices in Early Elementary Science Instruction Contexts”

Carol Hopkins and Trish Morita-Mullaney – “Leveraging the Lectura: Social Justice for English Language Learners in Rural Schools”

We believe these grants have the ability to move our College forward, and we are looking forward to continuing this program. In reading the tier II proposals, which are for $100K, we realized we needed to provide more clarity in the guidelines. We are making these changes and will reissue the program with proposals due in the early fall. We have a number of folks who are moving in some interesting areas with good potential. If you submitted a proposal and were not funded, talk to Jim Lehman to receive feedback, and then please resubmit. Our collaboration corner is getting good use, and we are happy it is fulfilling its purpose. GRADUATE RECRUITMENT AND SUPPORT We are looking at a competitive process to offer six academic year graduate scholarships to aid in graduate recruitment and we will continue to offer these as long as funds are available. We will take a closer look at the dollars available for moving the College forward. This will include some donor funding to support graduate travel, which is part of an endowment, and a new donor with a specific area of interest which is similar. This donor has talked about the importance these “unattached” travel funds played in his time as a graduate student. He has noted in writing that the Dean may surprise graduate students with these funds. We are now in discussions with the Provost’s Office about institutionalizing some multi-year College support for graduate assistantships – we are going through transitions with a new Provost coming in, but hopeful these discussions will continue to go well. There are clearly a lot of good things taking place in the College. The Dean wants to continue to hear from you - your ideas and concerns. We had an absolutely dynamite search cycle this year; we moved forward on every search while across campus many were frozen or cancelled. Our search committees started early, spread the word, got good candidate pools, and when we got candidates on campus they liked what they saw; our collaborative climate can extend their work in new ways. You have done a great job in finding some good colleagues to work with us. Some of our folks moving on to other ventures;

Roslynn Bol, Secretary, Counseling & Development Sidney Moon, Associate Dean for Engagement and Professor, Gifted, Creative, and

Talented Studies Maribeth Schmitt, Jean Adamson Stanley Professor in Literacy and Director of CLEAR Sydney Zentall, Professor, Special Education & Psychological Sciences

Each has contributed to the College in many ways, leaving lasting impressions. We wish them well in the upcoming retirement stage of their lives. Phil VanFossen announced that Holly Fiock has taken a new position as the Curriculum Coordinator for the LDT program, and they are pleased to have her on board.
