Letter from the Dean

Dear 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 before like 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, our current 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 – from early childhood through adolescence into adulthood – is well-prepared for life, meaningful work 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 a unique vehicle to deliver cutting-edge discoveries from UK’s 17 colleges into schools and communities 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: Consortium for Overseas Student Teaching; nationally-approved programs such as school psychology; new college and department leaders; award-winning students, faculty and alumni; and the first 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 a fresh look and feel that captures the visionary mission of the College and our vital work in the community – 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 you to join with us in shaping the nature of the educational experience for future generations. Join with us in building strong relationships among students, educators and community – ones that foster cultural competence and promote mutual trust and respect, and above all, ones that make a difference.

Sincerely,

Mary John O’Hair, Dean

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 if it is in small doses or small variations, those pieces of knowledge can do great things for them and how they see the world. It also is important to make sure they understand that no matter how different we are, we are all alike in many ways. We are all still humans.”

<< Rachel Hochgesang • Elementary Education • Berlin, Germany Andrea Hinkel Rachel Hochgesang “I think the most rewarding part of the experience is that I feel more confident in myself and my abilities. I truly became independent over here. I moved to a place where I did not know anyone, did not speak the language and did not know much about the way of life. I not only sur- vived, but I thrived. I feel that now I Emily McGrew can do anything. I also learned how to 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 have learned how to interact with students who may not always understand the words you are saying but are able to know what you are trying to tell them.”

College Debuts In the Fall of 1995, the UK College of Education jumped forward and joined the World Wide Web. After years of advancements in technology and design, the college continued its progression in mid-2008 with dis- New Website 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 a Web 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 adopted and a design created. Set up for significant departmental input and con- struction, the website then was built by staff members from every area of the college during the summer of 2009 to be ready for its unveiling in October. Nearly a year later, the website continues to grow and flourish. Sections of the site are continually improved and information is updated as it changes. 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 the latest on the UK College of Education. We also encourage you to visit the alumni section at http://education.uky.edu/Community/alumni, and we hope you will help us continue to build it by providing updates on what you are up to and suggestions on how to make the site better. education.uky.edu 7 Three Named to Associate Dean Positions

18 University of Kentucky n College of Education Giving to the College – Scholarships

Of all the ways donations to the UK College of Education can In-State Student Costs 2010-11 - $16,400 make a difference, one of the most rewarding is giving to scholarship aid. More and more often students tell stories of how they are not going to be able to attend college, but then a scholarship opportunity opened for them and changed their lives. So many have been strug- gling through the economy the past few years, but imagine being told you could not go to college because your family could not afford it. 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 Education awards numerous undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellow- ships. In the 2010-11 school year, more than 30 students will receive awards. Each one offers financial aid to education majors in a small way. We need to increase the amount available in every one of our scholarship funds, and we always welcome new scholarships, as well. The chart to the right illustrates the costs that Kentucky students incur when attending UK for one year. If the student is from out of state, the total jumps to approximately $27,500 for the year. Your contribution could make all the difference. If you would like to contribute to one of our scholarships, or create In-state tuition a new one, please contact Valerie Sagan Overlan at (859) 257-2479 or Textbooks/semester [email protected], or visit the online giving page on the Web at http://education.uky.edu/Community/development.
