Letter from the DeanDear alumni and friends,

For many decades, College of Education faculty, students, staff and alumni have been ac-tively involved in improving education in Kentucky and around the world – but never beforelike now. In February 2010, the College launched a bold new initiative, the Kentucky P20 Inno-vation Lab (http://p20lab.org/), designed to transform, not just incrementally change, ourcurrent education system from preschool through graduate education with a focus on per-sonalized learning and world-class knowledge and skills. To ensure that every child – fromearly childhood through adolescence into adulthood – is well-prepared for life, meaningfulwork and citizenship, we know that all parts of the educational system must work together. UK President Lee T. Todd, Jr. believes “the P20 Lab will help ensure that our campus break-

throughs hit the ground in Kentucky and change lives in every community. It will provide aunique vehicle to deliver cutting-edge discoveries from UK’s 17 colleges into schools andcommunities across the Commonwealth.” In this issue, we are delighted to showcase individuals and groups who help us bring inno-

vation and breakthroughs into our collective educational future, such as COST: Consortiumfor Overseas Student Teaching; nationally-approved programs such as school psychology;new college and department leaders; award-winning students, faculty and alumni; and thefirst Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education symposium sup-ported jointly by the colleges of Education, Arts & Sciences and Engineering. You will discover how our efforts are attracting outstanding new educators and clinical profes-

sionals when you visit the College’s new website: http://education.uky.edu/. The site offers afresh look and feel that captures the visionary mission of the College and our vital work in thecommunity – through unique videos, interactive graphics, faculty pages, news stories and more. We use the term “community” broadly referring to our local, national and global communi-

ties and believe our greatest assets are our future, current and former students. We invite youto join with us in shaping the nature of the educational experience for future generations. Joinwith us in building strong relationships among students, educators and community – onesthat foster cultural competence and promote mutual trust and respect, and above all, onesthat make a difference.

Sincerely,

Mary John O’Hair, Dean

Near the state capitol inFrankfort, a crowd gath-ered at a press confer-ence the morning ofFebruary 2, 2010. Antici-pation filled the roomas some of Kentucky’s

most well-known names in educationstood to speak. “These are exciting times, but the reason

they’re exciting times is we’re finally going to an-swer a critical question,” Kentucky EducationCommissioner Terry Holliday said. “Why does itwork for some kids and not for others? And isn’tthat what this effort’s all about?”The effort Holliday spoke of is the formation of

the Kentucky P20 Innovation Lab. The Universityof Kentucky has committed $1.5 million over thenext three years to launch the lab, housed in theUK College of Education. UK President Lee T. Todd, Jr., in talking about

the effort, recalled conversations he had a fewyears ago. “I called some friends at Intel, somefriends at Cisco, some friends at Apple, and said‘What would you say to parents now who aresending their children to college? Where are thejobs going to be, because it sounds to me likeyou’re sending everything out of the country.’Every one of them, in three independent conver-sations, mentioned the word ‘innovation’ andsaid when you get to the manufacturing stage, it’snot going to be in this country. You’ve got to inno-vate the next thing, and then manufacture it. Sojust to be talking about a P20 Innovation Lab andPartnership for Next Generation Learning, it’s theright time to be talking about that here in Kentucky.”Mary John O’Hair became dean of the College

in August 2009, bringing the P20 Innovation Labmodel with her from the K-20 Center at the Uni-versity of Oklahoma, where she served as viceprovost of school and community partnerships.Over the past five years, schools participating inthe Oklahoma K-20 Center have seen increases instudent learning by 74 percent more than thestate’s average increase on the Oklahoma Aca-demic Performance Index (API), which includesstandardized tests, ACT scores and dropout rates. “To have [UK President Lee Todd] say, ‘Hey, col-

laboration with public schools is not a bad thing,it is our future,’ these are exciting times in Ken-

tucky,” Holliday said. “We really appreciate theuniversity stepping up to the plate with their commitment of not just dollars, but staff and support.”The heightened need to prepare Kentucky stu-

dents to thrive in higher education and the work-force was of major emphasis at the pressconference.“My good friend Commissioner Holliday just

got up and essentially said, ‘Why is it that wedon’t reach every kid?’ ” Council on Postsec-ondary Education President Robert King said.“The answer I think, in part, is well, we’ve neverreally had to. We didn’t have to because Americawas the leader in everything across the world forcertainly the better part of the 20th century. Andthat leadership has allowed us, in my view, to be-come rather complacent, and that complacency isnow being demonstrated, not by what we’redoing, but by what everyone else in the world isdoing. This challenge is America’s challenge, butit’s certainly Kentucky’s challenge.”The Kentucky P20 Innovation Lab is aligned

with the needs of the country to better preparestudents to find meaningful employment in theglobal marketplace. Many of today’s schools oper-ate much as they did decades ago. P20 organizersbelieve transformation can be accomplishedthrough building the lab as an incubator of ideas– a place to create and experiment and work to-gether to turn ideas into concrete practices. “UK’s commitment to the development of a

P20 Innovation Lab is a timely, bold and impor-tant step to assist in bringing the all-importantcomponent of relevancy to Kentucky’s class-rooms,” said Phillip Rogers, executive director,Education Professional Standards Board. The effort represents an unprecedented collab-

oration between the university and the KentuckyDepartment of Education, Council on Postsec-ondary Education, Kentucky Education Profes-sional Standards Board and Kentucky schooldistricts.“We can get to the kids and their parents in this

state with this type of a collaboration that you’reseeing,” Todd said. “I want to congratulate DeanO’Hair and the members of her faculty. She’sgoing to have about 17 colleges involved at theUniversity of Kentucky. That’s the only way towhip complex problems nowadays. You just haveto gang up on them. You’ve got to take thesethings on and get serious about them. I’m reallylooking forward to what comes next.”

Some of Kentucky’s top educa-tion leaders gathered at a Feb-ruary 2010 press conferenceannouncing the UK College ofEducation’s latest effort, theKentucky P20 Innovation Lab.Pictured (L-R) are Robert King,president, Council on Postsec-ondary Education; Terry Holli-day, commissioner, KentuckyDepartment of Education;Mary John O’Hair, dean, UKCollege of Education; Lee T.Todd, Jr., president, Universityof Kentucky; and Phillip Rogers,executive director, EducationProfessional Standards Board.

Kentucky Selected as National Education Innovation PartnerAnd, what has come next, even dur-

ing the Innovation Lab’s infancy, hasbeen significant. Kentucky was se-lected in April, along with Maine, NewYork, Ohio, West Virginia and Wiscon-sin, to lead the nation in developingtransformative educational practicesas part of the Council of Chief StateSchool Officers’ (CCSSO) Partnershipfor Next Generation Learning. TheCCSSO’s goals closely mirror the workplanned for the UK P20 Innovation Lab– helping states move from their cur-rent systems to a new design for publiceducation and influencing federal pol-icy to scale, support and sustain whatworks. The Kentucky Board of Educa-tion voted to support the Kentucky De-partment of Education’s commitmentto the CCSSO partnership through de-velopment of the UK lab on astatewide level. While housed and ledby UK in its College of Education, theeffort is being expanded to involveother Kentucky universities, other col-leges at UK and school districts fromaround the state.

“This is about issues we face in Ken-tucky education, and that are also facedin states across the country,” O’Hairsaid. “Information is now at students’fingertips and it is up to us, as educa-tors, to help them develop critical think-ing and problem-solving skills that will

enable them to take that informa-tion and apply it to real-world is-sues. This transformation ofpedagogy has not been fully ac-complished anywhere and Ithink it’s up to this innovationlab at a state, and now na-

tional, level to address the changing en-vironment in which we all work and live.It will start in areas that our top univer-sity experts know best, making the P20Innovation Lab the missing link be-tween cutting-edge innovation at theuniversity level and the P-12 setting.“As Commissioner Holliday said,

making a difference will require reach-ing into higher education institutionsacross Kentucky, including the 17 col-leges at UK, and seeing how we canembed what we understand, know andteach into our efforts so that we candisseminate that across our state andinto our P-12 system.”In June, 21 UK faculty experts were

approved to develop labs in the P20 Labframework. Ranging from technology toassessment, the faculty are co-directingthe labs with practitioners in the field,which experts say will ensure they areaddressing today’s most pressingneeds. The effort will embed UK even more

deeply into communities – impactingKentuckians from cradle to career.“I’m very excited to be in a state that

has the history and the experience to re-ally raise the bar in education,” O’Hairsaid. “I’m also very pleased to be at auniversity dedicating its resources andenergy to partnerships among schools,business and higher education to makea difference to every Kentuckian. Every-one can agree that it is up to us, as anation, to keep pace with the changesour world is experiencing. I believemuch of this can be accomplished byrefining how we are teaching children,even as early as pre-school, and howthat educational foundation is appliedas they enter careers.”


COST: Consortium for Overseas Student TeachingReflections on Learning While Teaching

Fall 2009 Student Teachers

<< Andrea Hinkel • Elementary Education • Geelong, Australia“This international experience has influenced how I feel about cultural variation in that

now I feel more than ever it is important to introduce children to various cultures. Even ifit is in small doses or small variations, those pieces of knowledge can do great things forthem and how they see the world. It also is important to make sure they understand thatno matter how different we are, we are all alike in many ways. We are all still humans.”

<< Rachel Hochgesang • Elementary Education • Berlin, Germany“I think the most rewarding part

of the experience is that I feel moreconfident in myself and my abilities.I truly became independent overhere. I moved to a place where I didnot know anyone, did not speak thelanguage and did not know muchabout the way of life. I not only sur-vived, but I thrived. I feel that now Ican do anything. I also learned howto respect viewpoints drastically dif-ferent than my own.”

<< Emily McGrew • Elementary Education • Berlin, Germany“This experience has taught me that you truly have to treat every child uniquely. No two

situations are the same and you should expect that each child is coming into your class-room with a different background and a different story to share. I believe that I havelearned how to interact with students who may not always understand the words you aresaying but are able to know what you are trying to tell them.”

School Psychology ProgramReceives NASP Approval

Receiving programapproval is often agrueling, time-con-suming processthat culminateswith a period ofwaiting during whichall hope is focused on

getting the good news.Earlier this year, the UK Col-

lege of Education program in School Psy-chology did just that, earning programapproval from the National Association ofSchool Psychologists (NASP).“We are very pleased to get full approval

from NASP,” said Tom Prout, professor in the Department of Educa-tional, School and Counseling Psychology and director of Programs inSchool Psychology. “We also are pleased that NASP did not ask tosend any additional documentation beyond the initial report. That is abit rare.”Thanks to the diligence of Prout and his programs’ staff, students

in the School Psychology Educational Specialist and Ph.D. programsnow will continue to have the opportunity to apply for National Certifi-cation in School Psychology. Prout also said that it is used for grant-ing certification from some states’ departments of education.The NASP has been granting program approvals as a specialized

professional association of the National Council for Accreditation ofTeacher Education since 1988. The group’s goal is to review and ap-prove school psychology graduate programs that prepare candidatesfor effective practice.For more information on the College of Education School Psychol-

Colleges of Education, Engineering andArts & Sciences Hold STEM SymposiumThe UK colleges of Education, Engineering and Arts & Sciences

held the inaugural STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics) Education Conference on Feb. 19, 2010. Throughpaper presentations, posters and roundtable discussions, facultyand students discussed numerous avenues for the enhancement ofSTEM-related education and creation of new partnerships and col-laboration across the STEM disciplines.“We are all here today to respond to making education relevant

for our students in STEM and across all areas,” College of EducationDean Mary John O’Hair said. “Beginning with this conference, we’relooking at ways to pull our efforts together, pool our resources andtarget our work to make a difference in Kentucky.”

Presentations given at the symposium included:• “Modeling-Based Inquiry in STEM Classrooms”• “Future Studies: Interdisciplinary STEM Education for SecondaryStudents”

• “Leveraging Technology and Visualization to Improve Learning viaFormative Assessment”

• “How Can We Use Distance Education/Learning in STEM Fields?”• “Successful Collaborations Between STEM and STEM Education –Forging New Paths Toward Securing Top 20 Status”

• and many others.

In the Fall of 1995, the UK College of Education jumped forward andjoined the World Wide Web. After years of advancements in technologyand design, the college continued its progression in mid-2008 with dis-cussions on how to improve its Internet presence. On October 8, 2009,the newest version of the College of Education debuted.The College’s Technology Committee was charged with developing a

plan for updating the content and look of the website, and established aWeb Leadership team under the guidance of then-Associate Dean Debo-rah Slaton. Led by Assistant Professor Justin Bathon, Information Spe-cialist Brad Duncan and the Instructional Technology Center’s Terry Edin,Stu Reedy and Bill Stilwell, a content management system was adoptedand a design created. Set up for significant departmental input and con-struction, the website then was built by staff members from every area ofthe college during the summer of 2009 to be ready for its unveiling inOctober.Nearly a year later, the website continues to grow and flourish. Sections

of the site are continually improved and information is updated as itchanges. And with the new site came a new Web address: http://educa-tion.uky.edu. We hope you will take the time and visit the new site for thelatest on the UK College of Education. We also encourage you to visit thealumni section at http://education.uky.edu/Community/alumni, and wehope you will help us continue to build it by providing updates on what youare up to and suggestions on how to make the site better.

Kentucky First Lady Jane Beshear Inductedinto UK College of Education Hall of Fame

As First Lady of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Jane Beshear has dedicated herself to anumber of causes statewide, but it is her commitment to education that has led her tobeing the newest inductee in the UK College of Education Hall of Fame.

“I am honored to be awarded a place in the University of Kentucky College of Educa-tion Hall of Fame,” Beshear said. “I’ve always believed the education of Kentucky’s chil-dren to be of utmost importance, and I am thrilled to be able to utilize my role as FirstLady to further this cause. The opportunity to stand beside so many of our state’s edu-cation pioneers in this Hall of Fame is truly humbling.”

Beshear received her bachelor’s degree from the UK College of Education in 1969and spent the first years of her career teaching at Woodford County High School. Whenarriving in Frankfort in the late 1980s with her husband, Steve, who was then lieutenantgovernor, she began working with the Kentucky Commission on Literacy to improveadult literacy rates. Her efforts in this area led to being honored with the Friend of Liter-acy Award by the Collaborative Center for Literacy Development, a unified effort amongthe literacy specialists from Kentucky’s eight public universities.

Beshear is the 42nd graduate to be inducted into the UK College of Education Hall ofFame since the first class in 1989.

With an ever-increasing demand for on-line distance learning programs by stu-dents at all levels, developing adequateprograms to meet the needs of these stu-dents has become a crucial enterprise. Toassist the professionals who now findthemselves creating these programs, theUK College of Education and UK DistanceLearning Programs have created the Dis-tance Education Graduate Certificate,which was awarded to the first group of 18recipients on Jan. 15.

The program, which offers coursesthrough the Department of Curriculumand Instruction (EDC) and Department ofSpecial Education and RehabilitationCounseling (EDSRC), requires 12 graduatecredit hours that can be completed withinone or two years, and all courses are deliv-ered in a distance education format.

“Distance education is quickly becoming apopular mode for delivery instruction in

higher education, and faculty and future fac-ulty need the skills necessary to deliver qual-ity programs so they can be competitive intoday’s marketplace,” said Belva Collins, pro-fessor in EDSRC. “The certificate gives stu-dents a credential to make them moremarketable and skilled as they search forjobs or seek promotion in higher education.”

The program is for anyone in higher ed-ucation or the private sector, includinggraduate and doctoral students; faculty;distance learning administrators; teachersdeveloping online programs; and govern-ment and private sector employees.

Almario Receives KentuckySexual Assault AwarenessAwardFor five years, UK College of Education doctoral student Maria Al-

mario has dedicated herself to advocacy and activism initiatives on be-half of women who are victims of sexual assault. As a result of herwork in this area, the Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programshonored Almario with a 2010 Sexual Assault Awareness Month Awardin late February.“I really think that violence against women is the contradiction to

any notion of fairness and equality,” said Almario, who received hermaster’s degree in counseling psychology from the College of Educa-tion in 2006. “It is the negation of basic humanity. Not acting againstthis type of violence is a way to tacitly condone it. This award is therecognition and validation of this ideology. It is also an invitation tocontinue contributing to its eradication.”A native of Bogotá, Columbia, Almario began her work as a

women’s advocate through volunteering with the Bluegrass Rape Cri-sis Center. While there she moved up within the organization from vol-unteer to special populations counselor/immigrant outreach specialistto long-term therapist.

National assessments reveal that manystudents score at or below the basic level inmath. However, thanks to a four-year, $2.3million Cognition and Student Learning grantfrom the U.S. Department of Education Insti-tute of Education Sciences (IES), University ofKentucky College of Education Professor BrianBottge will test new ways of improving thecomputation and problem-solving skills of allstudents, especially those with learning dis-abilities (LD).Bottge, who is the

William T. Bryan En-dowed Chair in Special Education, will help teachersuse an instructional method called Enhanced An-chored Instruction (EAI), which has proved effectivein his previous studies. Bottge and his colleaguesdeveloped the EAI methods from previous grants,including a $1 million IES development grant,while he was a professor at the University of Wis-consin-Madison. Although EAI methods were de-signed specifically for adolescents with LD, theyalso have been effective with students at allachievement levelsBy the time low-performing students reach

middle school, many dislike math and do not seethe purpose in learning it. By carefully embed-ding math concepts and skills in contexts thatinterest them, students realize how math canhelp them in their daily lives. EAI gives studentsopportunities to build their problem-solving skills and computational flu-ency together, with one reinforcing the other. The EAI modules Bottge

uses focus on fractions concepts and pre-algebraic concepts, which aretwo areas of mathematics students with and without LD find especiallydifficult to understand.Results of previous studies with EAI have shown that students im-

proved their math skills and attitudes toward math. At the conclusion ofa study, one student was particularly proud of his new skills. As Bottgeapproached the school entrance, the student shouted, “Hey Bottge, Isolved your problem.” Another student who earned perfect scores on thepost test and transfer task whispered to Bottge, “Don’t tell my parentsabout this. They will faint.”Along with co-principal investigators and fellow UK College of Educa-

tion faculty members Jane Jensen, Xin Ma and Michael Toland, and col-league Allan Cohen at the University of Georgia,Bottge will conduct large-scale studies to test the effi-cacy of EAI in middle school special education andgeneral education math classrooms. Bottge and col-leagues will show teachers how to use EAI with theirstudents and then measure its effects on mathachievement and classroom engagement.Bottge thinks the teacher role has been key in his

work with EAI. No matter what the instructionalmethod, its success depends on how well it is imple-mented. One of the most enjoyable aspects of his previ-ous studies, Bottge says, is getting to work withtalented, caring teachers. He is excited about makingnew partnerships with Kentucky teachers.

Professors Receive NTLIAward in Social Studies

It’s not often that a na-tional award is given to aresearcher numeroustimes, but that is exactlywhat has happened to UKCollege of Education As-sociate Professor KathySwan. Along with fellowCollege of Education as-sistant professor GerrySwan and colleague Mark

Hofer of The College of William and Mary, Swan was awarded the2009 National Technology Leadership Initiative (NTLI) Award in SocialStudies, the fourth time in the last six years she has been so honored.“Yes, it is very exciting,” Kathy Swan said. “Researching is pretty

lonely, at least for me, so it’s nice to come out of the research and writ-ing part and have your peers appreciate that work and appreciate it forseveral years.”The team’s paper was entitled “Measuring the Impact of Digital

Documentaries in a High-Stakes Testing Environment.” Swan and hercolleagues spent a week in two fifth-grade classrooms with teacherswho had one group of their students creating digital documentaries onIrish Immigration and the other groups working with the teachers’ tra-ditional curriculum. While they did not find that the moviemaking stu-dents performed any better on traditional pre/post-measures thanstudents who did not work on documentary projects, they did find thatstudents gained from the experiences.“The students’ work on the documentary project was evidence of

Authentic Intellectual Work,” Swan said. “We analyzed the documen-taries to establish what the students did gain and we found they did, infact, learn a lot.”

Ruble Receives Funding for Development of Services forChildren with AutismAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an av-

erage of 1 in 100 children in the United States has an Autism SpectrumDisorder. While over the last few years an increasing number of thesechildren have begun to receive early intervention services, researchshows that high quality and intensive intervention are critical for posi-tive outcomes.In an effort to improve the access to and receipt of high-quality serv-

ices, the College of Education’s Lisa Ruble and her co-investigators,Michael Toland, Lee Ann Jung and Jennifer-Grisham Brown of UK andJohn McGrew of Indiana University-Purdue University, received a pres-tigious two-year, $998,940 grant from the National Institute of MentalHealth as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Thegrant allows them to examine three types of professional developmentmodels of training and compare their effects on child and teacher out-comes.“Our goal is to improve children’s responsiveness to their educa-

tional programs by developing effective consultation services combinedwith technology as a means for training and coaching teachers regard-less of geographic location,” said Ruble, an associate professor in theDepartment of Educational, School and Counseling Psychology. “Thereis no one treatment that helps all children with Autism Spectrum Disor-ders, so we want to develop individualized methods of supplying teach-

ers with the means to provide the servicesthese children need.”Ruble already has found effectiveness

from a consultation intervention and will bebuilding upon these previous studies. Shesays that while the identification of AutismSpectrum Disorders is on the rise, the needfor more school personnel trained in autismwill continue to increase. Ruble’s team willlook at the students’ outcomes, somethingother consultation studies have rarelylooked at previously, and they will consultwith teachers to personalize interventions.“Personalizing interventions is essential,” Ruble said. “We are learn-

ing that children with autism are different from one another; while theyshare the label of autism, the teaching objectives and learning strate-gies will be different for each child.”The team will follow 25 children whose teachers receive online

autism training, 25 children whose teachers and parents receive con-sultation from the research team followed by in-classroom teachercoaching, and 25 children whose teachers and parents receive consul-tation followed by Web-based teacher coaching. Ruble also will evalu-ate the impact of these consultations on parental stress.With the current rate of diagnosis, autism is more common than

childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined. Anestimated 1.5 million individuals in the U.S. and tens of millions world-wide are affected by autism.For more information on Ruble’s research, visit www.ukautism.org.

Vacations are a time for people to rest, relax, travel andjust take a break from the regularity of daily life. However,for Vicki Sageser, a 2009 trip brought the opportunity tosave a life.During a visit to North Carolina in late July, Sageser and

her husband, Gene, were awakened by a commotion inthe hall of their hotel. A woman was screaming that herhusband was having a heart attack, so Sageser, a part-time first aid instructor in the Department of Kinesiologyand Health Promotion, acted quickly. She informed thosepresent that she was trained in first aid and CPR andasked permission to begin. The man’s wife agreed andSageser began the procedure she teaches to UK stu-dents every semester.“I told Gene and the others in the room that we needed to get the man

on the floor to have a hard surface on which to effectively do CPR,” saidSageser, who received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the UKCollege of Education. “They lifted him to the floor, and I immediatelychecked for signs of life. There were none, so I started compressions andbreaths like I had been trained.”After 15 minutes of a continuous cycle of 30 chest compressions and

two breaths, emergency personnel arrived.Ultimately, an Automated External Defibril-lator was required to revive the man’s heart.Although Sageser’s work did not restart hisheart, her ability to deliver CPR for such anextended amount of time delivered the oxy-gen needed to prevent any permanent braindamage.The family kept in touch with Sageser over

the course of the next week and relayed thegood news that after just a few days he was

awake and alert. He even was able to return home a week after the incident.Upon her return to teaching “Responding to Emergencies” at UK last

fall, Sageser said she would be able to relay the importance of the skillsher students will possess when completing the course.“In those instances, we do it no matter what,” Sageser said. “He was

in trouble and I reacted. I haven’t been able to tell my students what it islike to save someone using CPR before, but now I can.”

Stevenson Finds Success as PrincipalFor the past two years, Lexington’s Winburn Mid-

dle School (WMS) has met its federal No ChildLeft Behind yearly progress goals and has beenranked among the top 10 middle schools in Ken-tucky. This success is in no small part to the leader-ship of WMS principal and College of Educationalumna Tina Stevenson.“We are very focused on academics,” Stevenson

said. “It is important for all students to believe thatthey can be successful. We take pride in cheeringvery loud for our students.”Though Stevenson’s guidance and initiative lean

on programs that were in place at WMS prior to herarrival, she says that they have been able to stream-line the activities they provide. WMS is open Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. providing a safeenvironment for its students. Computer labs are openevery morning and the school partners with Parks andRecreation in the evening. Other activities include the TNT Academy, a tutoring program provided onTuesdays and Thursdays to students who need additional support.“I am working with young people at a stage in their lives when I can have a positive influence on

them,” Stevenson said. “The students at Winburn Middle School come from such diverse back-grounds. It is my job to teach tolerance and acceptance of those who may not have the same stan-dards or beliefs as others. We take pride in our accomplishments and celebrate our success.”Stevenson climbed the ranks from physical education teacher at Lexington Junior High School and

WMS to Martin Luther King Academy before returning to WMS as associate principal and now prin-cipal. While a teacher at Winburn, she also worked with the AVID (Advancement Via Individual De-termination) program, a curriculum designed to encourage students to matriculate to college.With all her success and dedication to education, the College of Education selected Stevenson as

its alumni honoree for the 2009 Lyman T. Johnson Torch of Excellence Award, which honors African-American students and alumni who exhibit faith, determination, hard work and academic excellence.

Morrison Shares Experience in New Orleans RecoverySchool DistrictTeaching in post-Katrina

New Orleans probably isnot something most, if any,teachers would ever imag-ine themselves doing. How-ever, that’s exactly whereJames Morrison found him-self in 2008.“It was just the chal-

lenge I was waitingfor,” Morrison said.“So, my first teachingexperience happenedthree years after UK ina place I never thought I’d live. It’s been an incrediblechallenge, but also a transformational experience.”Morrison’s original plans included the practice of

law. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in philosophyin 1999, he entered the University of Kentucky LawSchool in the fall of 2000. As much as he enjoyed theclassroom experience, Morrison decided that practic-ing law wasn’t for him and he enrolled in the post-bachelor’s certification program in elementaryeducation. Then his life took another path.Morrison ended up working with a small Boston

firm to design and implement collaborative workshopsfor Fortune 500 businesses to help them solve prob-lems, but he said that he just wasn’t fulfilled by thatwork. Then he came across teachNOLA, an organiza-tion that recruits certified and non-certified teachers tothe Recovery School District (RSD).According to teachNOLA’s website (www.teach-

nola.org), the organization “seeks the nation’s mostoutstanding certified teachers to significantly impacteducation by teaching in New Orleans public schools.This highly selective initiative recruits talented teacherswith an intense desire to drive the city's rebirth byboosting academic achievement for all students. Ourgoal is for every classroom in this city to have an effec-tive teacher that will stop at nothing to raise studentachievement.”As a recruiting tool for teachNOLA and as a way of

letting his alma mater know what is happening in theNew Orleans area, Morrison came back in 2009 togive a presentation on his experiences, saying thatthere are many things about the RSD that are ineffec-tive because young teachers are burning out quickly. But Morrison sees that he can make a difference de-

spite all the obstacles.“I’ve had more failure than success, and there are

many things my students need that I can’t provide, butmy students love to read and I can prove that manyhave gotten better at it,” Morrison said. “But the onlyway out is to recruit you all, and all the most talented,ambitious teachers and administrators from insideand outside the field of education. And retain them.”

Giving to the College – ScholarshipsOf all the ways donations to the UK College of Education can

make a difference, one of the most rewarding is giving to scholarshipaid. More and more often students tell stories of how they are notgoing to be able to attend college, but then a scholarship opportunityopened for them and changed their lives. So many have been strug-gling through the economy the past few years, but imagine beingtold you could not go to college because your family could not affordit. A college education is becoming more expensive, and it is begin-ning to look like a luxury to many cash-strapped families.

That is where scholarships come in. The College of Educationawards numerous undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellow-ships. In the 2010-11 school year, more than 30 students will receiveawards. Each one offers financial aid to education majors in a smallway. We need to increase the amount available in every one of ourscholarship funds, and we always welcome new scholarships, aswell.

The chart to the right illustrates the costs that Kentucky studentsincur when attending UK for one year. If the student is from out ofstate, the total jumps to approximately $27,500 for the year. Yourcontribution could make all the difference.

If you would like to contribute to one of our scholarships, or createa new one, please contact Valerie Sagan Overlan at (859) 257-2479 [email protected], or visit the online giving page on theWeb at http://education.uky.edu/Community/development.

Carol Chase Thomas Honors Former Instructor, Mentorby Valerie Sagan Overlan

Alma Lee Allen had a lasting influenceover the elementary special educationstudents she taught, over the Fayette

County (Ky.) Board of Education where she served many years as aspecial education consultant, and over countless aspiring special edu-cation student teachers at the University of Kentucky whom she super-vised as a cooperating teacher. One such student teacher was CarolChase Thomas. Thomas was assigned to Allen’s Maxwell ElementarySchool special education class for her student teaching placement in1974. It was the beginning of a wonderful and close friendship thatlasted almost 30 years.

Allen, known to her friends as “Pill,” became a true mentor andfriend, and she encouraged Thomas to continue her education byearning a master’s degree and then returning to UK for a doctorate inspecial education. As a student, Thomas would study at Allen’s houseand she often spent the night with her when visiting Lexington aftergraduation. Thomas and Allen took a number of trips together, includ-ing a three-week driving vacation down the Pacific Coast. WhenThomas’s mother passed away in the late 1970s, Allen became in

many ways her “adopted mother.” After Allen’s death in December of2003, Thomas established the Alma Lee Allen Scholarship in SpecialEducation. As part of Thomas’s strong sense of giving back, her recog-nition of the power of education, and her commitment to honoring thesignificant people in her life, she also has created scholarships at vari-ous other colleges and universities to honor her mother, father, god-mother and colleagues.

To best honor her friend and mentor at the University of Kentucky,Thomas stipulated that recipients of the Alma Lee Allen Special Educa-tion Scholarship should be those students majoring in special educa-tion who maintain a grade point average of 3.0 and demonstratefinancial need for assistance.

Thomas has taught at the University of North Carolina Wilmingtonsince 1983 and served as associate dean for academic programs for 15years. After 17 total years in administration, Thomas returned to a fac-ulty position to teach current special education majors and supervisestudent teachers. Thomas feels privileged to have the opportunity torecognize someone who had such a significant impact on her life in away that would continue Allen’s dedication to children with specialneeds and to help those who choose special education as a professionto realize their dreams.
