Currently, I am a junior at Bradley in the education department. I am just getting ready to novice teach.

Through these sessions I was able to gain knowledge about topics ranging from bully- ing to art projects currently being conducted Senior nursing student Jenny at some Peoria Public Schools. I enjoyed the Lapke discusses her poster poster sessions because I was able to get “Utilization of a Therapy Dog information from many relevant sources. for Animal-Assisted Activities Next on my agenda were the roundtable discussions. There were numerous choices in a Grade School.” Dr. Hwa Lee discusses her poster on topics. The first discussion I attended was “Bullying: Facts and Strategies.” Here, we discussed various statistics about “Assistive Technology Service to bullying, how we have been impacted by bullying, and ways to prevent Students with Disabilities: How bullying. My second roundtable discussion was about learning centers for are we Doing?” young children. Here, we talked about various classroom set ups and benefits to certain layouts. It was great to have current teachers at our tables to discuss set ups that have and have not worked for them. The Spring Celebration helped me grow as not only a future teacher but as a human being. It gave me topics to think about that I might never have considered on my own. I will definitely be attending all future Bradley PDS Partnership events!

MARK, ROOSEVELT, AND MANUAL BY DR. BOB WOLFFE For nearly 300 students at four Bradley PDS sites, education was a hit this spring through the use of baseball. Learners from Trewyn K-8, St. Mark School, Roosevelt Magnet School, and Manual Academy engaged in learning activities that use America’s favorite pastime as a theme. Using materials Liann Walgenbach, student teacher in provided by the Peoria Martha Willi’s third grade class at Trewyn third graders (above) and St. Mark Chiefs, students in grades St. Mark, sits with some of her students. seventh graders (below) enjoy the game. three through eight experi- enced lesson plans designed across grade levels and disciplines. The culminating activity was attendance at a Peoria Chiefs game on either May 6th or May 16th. While taking in the game and eating a classic meal of a hot dog, chips, and a soda, the students also experienced learning activities that use information that is generated each inning. Thanks to support from the Peoria Chiefs and the William T. Kemper Foundation- Commerce Bank, Trustee, learning scored a homerun for many students this spring! EARTH DAY SCIENCE (CONT.) Day 2, led by Trish Wojcik and Brittany Barron, focused on describing plant characteristics, especially herbs. Student pairs engaged in an activity where the “plant expert” described a picture of an herb to the “plant detective” who had to identify the actual herb from a selection in the classroom before describing additional information about it, such as texture and scent. Next, Keva Coates and Lauren Lemanski read aloud an Earth Day book and students classified recyclable and non-recyclable materials they had brought from home before making crafts using their recyclable materials. On Day 3, led by Anna Taylor and Madelyn Brandt, first graders observed red earthworms’ burrow tracks by viewing “worm condos” and learned that earthworms help aerate soil, move water through the soil, and break down plant material. The class held worm races, and the Science 301 class provided the first grade classes with an indoor compost bin. On Day 4, an Earth Day Celebration was held. Inside, students enjoyed making (and eating) soil cup treats, newspaper hats, and bracelets with UV light sensitive beads. Outside, they participat- ed in a plant growth (dress up) relay, a scavenger hunt, and pollen tag (freeze tag.) Science 301 aims to engage pre-service teachers with actual students so they can gain hands on experience and ideas for their future teaching. Thank you to the first grade teachers and students at Valeska Hinton for being great Earth Day partners! The mission of the Bradley PDS Partnership is to promote academic and professional development for P-12 students, pre-professionals, practitioners, and professors. SPRING 2014 PAGE 5 FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCES HONOR SOCIETY MEMBERS COLLECT ITEMS FORTREWYN K-8 SCHOOL BY DR. KENDRA BRANDES While temperatures early in the fall semester remained seasonably warm, predictions for an unusually cold and snowy winter sparked conversation among students in the Bradley chapter of Kappa Omicron Nu (KONu), a national honor society for Family and Consumer Sciences and other human service fields. The discussion brought to light the fact that “teaching supplies” often include basic items like dry socks, gloves, and other cold weather items. After discussing the idea with Trewyn K-8 Principal, Ms. Renee Andrews, a service project took shape as students planned to collect needed items to donate to teachers at Trewyn. Ms. Andrews discussed the fact that a wide range of items are needed throughout the school year and can include personal hygiene items like combs and toothbrushes as well as long sleeve t-shirts that can be worn under uniforms for warmth. The service project, organized by senior Rebecca Bucklin, began during the fall semester. Fellow KONu member Jessica Moehling assisted Rebecca by contacting members of Bradley’s Greek system for donations. Other KONu members manned tables in the student center to collect items from the student body. A small Christmas tree placed in the Family and Consumer Sciences office also served as a collection point and was decorated with donated mittens, gloves, socks, and hats. The collection process progressed well until November 17th when tornadoes destroyed homes and businesses in several area communities.

  • The History and Progression of Manual Rounds: a Structured Peer Observation Process for Teachers in Urban School Settings
    The History and Progression of Manual Rounds: A Structured Peer Observation Process for Teachers in Urban School Settings Jana Hunzicker, Bradley University Jenny Tripses, Bradley University Robert Wolffe, Bradley University Taunya Jenkins, Peoria Public Schools Martha Ewan-Skorczewski, Peoria Public Schools Patricia Chrosniak, Bradley University ABSTRACT: Research shows that half of all teachers working in urban school settings leave the profession within five years, and many who choose to leave are the ones who are most effective (Coggins & Diffenbaugh, 2013.) Manual Rounds, a structured peer observation process based on the established practice of instructional rounds, was implemented at Manual Academy in 2010 to strengthen teaching practices and enhance student learning experiences in the classrooms of teachers new to an urban school setting. Project improvements were made incrementally over three years’ time, with a different Manual Rounds model launched in the fourth year. This article offers an overview of instructional rounds before describing the history and progression of Manual Rounds from various stakeholder perspectives including administrators, experienced teachers, new teachers, and Bradley PDS facilitators. We believe the case study shared in this article will offer other school-university partnerships insight and ideas for designing and implementing their own instructional rounds processes. NAPDS Essentials Addressed: #3/Ongoing and reciprocal professional development for all participants guided by need; #4/A shared commitment to innovative and reflective practice by all participants. ‘‘Our new teachers could really use some help,’’ confided and sciences.
