Congrats to Dr. Beth Rankin and Undergraduate Research Student Assistants (from the URSA Engage program) Augie Schoonveld, Grace Bliesner, and Ashley Parkinson.
These students have been working for the past two terms to assist Beth in collecting, transcribing, and coding qualitative data to analyze the effectiveness of the course ED 325: Trauma-Informed Care. The course prepares first-year teachers to work with students who have experienced trauma.

Earlier this week, the College of Education visited with the 2nd graders in Ms. Hilbourne's class at Creston K-8 school in Portland. We were treated to a lively lesson on finding (and building) shapes and arrays... with an occasional funny face thrown in for good measure. 😝 The lesson was led by Tia Knuth, who with a partner educator, Matthew Marchyok, is heading up a working group on how to get kids excited and engaged with mathematics. Their working group is part of our Equitable Accelerated Learning Project which supports efforts to identify and help reverse inequities in the state’s educational systems exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Congratulations to Dr. Sara Schley, Chair of the Department of Educational Practice and Research, for her presentation last week at the 2024 Oregon Digital Government Summit. Sara brought her expertise in teacher education and inclusive pedagogy to help government IT professionals better understand and reduce friction points that may hinder learning for individuals with disabilities. This included a discussion of how AI can be helpful in this process. Our thanks to Andrea Bellinger for some of these photos.
