2012 Annual Report - Penn State College of Education

Transforming Lives 2012 Annual Report

Dean’s Message

In 2012, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Summer College Opportunity Program in Education (SCOPE). SCOPE is an innovative program developed in the Penn State College of Education to encourage high-school students from underrepresented groups to think seriously about going to college and pursuing careers in education. SCOPE does more than encourage an interest in going to college. The program provides a four-week residential experience on the University Park campus for SCOPERS, as they are popularly known on campus, to develop skills and to have a complete collegiate experience. These students actually function as Penn State students while they are in residence and earn Penn State credit.

SCOPE can point to an impressive record of success. While we hope the graduates of SCOPE will return to the College of Education at Penn State to pursue their dreams of becoming effective educators, we are also happy when SCOPE students go on to other colleges and universities. In fact, quite a few SCOPE alumni do return to Penn State, and a sizeable proportion pursue their studies in the College of Education. The program has been in existence long enough now that there are SCOPE graduates who have also graduated from Penn State and who are now pursuing careers as educators in many branches of the field. You will find profiles of several of our SCOPE students in this annual report, and I trust you will agree that their stories are inspirational and speak directly to the transformative power of education.

Financial support for SCOPE comes from many sources, including the Office of the Vice Provost for Educational Equity. The College also provides support and sponsors the annual Cycle-Thon fund-raising event for SCOPE. Expenses and tuition total $3,000 for each SCOPE student, and the College is fortunate to have generous donors that have made commitments to help cover these and other program costs. We are grateful for this support and look forward to doing even more to forge pathways to college for high-school students from underrepresented groups who have demonstrated interest in the field of education.

SCOPE is just one program in the College that transforms lives. In fact, we celebrate daily the transformative nature of education through our research and preparation programs. Our academic programs change our students and prepare them to become agents of transformation for those they will reach in the future. The power of this work is truly exponential, and it is a great privilege to have this kind of impact.

The teachers, administrators, counselors, psychologists, and others we prepare are facing new and sometimes hard-to-anticipate challenges. We have a special responsibility to do everything possible to prepare these men and women for their futures in the field. Our resolve to achieve these goals has never been stronger, and we welcome your interest in and support for our work.

Sincerely,

David H. Monk Dean

SCOPE Helps Students See College Degree as an Opportunity

F

or some high-school students, going to college was always part of the plan. Their parents had saved up for it and had encouraged them to focus on that goal. When the time came to apply, they knew just what to do. For others, however, college was not a realistic goal. No one in their families had gone to college, so they had no reason to believe they would be any different.

The Summer College Opportunity Program in Education (SCOPE) aims to make the dream of attending college a reality for deserving high-school students throughout Pennsylvania and beyond who are interested in a career in teaching, counseling, special education, rehabilitation, or educational administration.

“The goal of the program is to provide an opportunity for students who are interested in becoming educators, most of whom are first-generation, college-bound

learners, a chance to encourage and develop their interest in both going on to college and in becoming educators,” said Charleon Jeffries, a student advocacy specialist. “As well, it provides an opportunity for the students to learn not only what it takes to be successful in college, but also to achieve a sense of accomplishment in their own abilities to persist and succeed beyond high school.”

The four-week program brings around twenty high-school sophomores from multicultural backgrounds to the University Park campus each summer. There they take college courses, prepare for the SAT, and learn time management and other study skills. They also improve their social skills for a successful college experience, become familiar with higher education institutions and admissions and financial aid processes, and develop their knowledge of education careers.

“The program is very successful in helping students go to college who otherwise might not have attended,” said Jeffries. “Of the 154 participants we have had since SCOPE’s inception in 2002. Ninety-four percent have gone on to attend college. And twenty of them have enrolled in or graduated from the College of Education’s undergraduate programs.”

SCOPE also helps current students enrolled in the College of Education’s undergraduate programs.

“The SCOPE program provides our current students an opportunity to work hands on with diverse learners,” said Maria Schmidt, assistant dean for multicultural programs. “The experience facilitates understanding of cultural and social-class differences, stimulating openness to such differences and increased commitment to social justice. It helps our students become culturally sensitive and responsive as future teachers and counselors for the benefit of all learners.”

Vanessa Herrera A

s a young high-school student in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Vanessa Herrera didn’t know much about the process of applying for and attending college. So it was quite a turn of events when, after hearing about the SCOPE program from a friend and applying to participate, she found herself on the University Park campus.

“Attending Penn State as a sophomore in high school was a wonderful experience,” she said.

“I was nervous at first and even got homesick for a while, but after a few weeks I began to love every single day that passed by. Having the opportunity to actually live on campus, take classes, and participate in different campus events definitely gave me a broad overview of what coming to Penn State might look like.”

Three years later, Herrera was enrolled as a student in the College of Education.

“SCOPE was one of the many reasons why I decided to attend Penn State,” she said. “During the SCOPE classes, I got to research in depth what my passion and interests were, which helped me with the decision of picking the right major once an undergraduate.”

According to Herrera, SCOPE staff members have continued to support her even as she pursues her undergraduate degree. “The staff have been great cheerleaders throughout my journey as an undergraduate,” she said.

Now a senior in rehabilitation and human services, Herrera plans to pursue a master’s degree in counselor education and become a high-school counselor in an urban school.

“It opened my mind, exposed me to new experiences, and challenged me in ways that I have never been challenged before.

Not only did I learn a lot academically, I also learned a lot from being in a new setting with people who were different than me.”

“I

am a first-generation college student, so my parents had no idea what the process of applying to college was or what college is like,” said Mayra Martinez, a junior studying education and public policy in the College of Education.

Most parents dream that their kids will have the opportunity to attend college, but many don’t have enough knowledge about the process to help.

That’s why SCOPE is so important. It exposes high-school students to the process of attending college; it turns dreams into reality.

Martinez learned about SCOPE in her high-school world-history class during the fall of her sophomore year.

She applied and was admitted.

“It was the most exciting and rewarding summer of my life thus far,” she said. “It opened my mind, exposed me to new experiences, and challenged me in ways that I have never

been challenged before. Not only did I learn a lot academically, I also learned a lot from being in a new setting with people who were different than me.”

According to Martinez, when she went back to her high school she was motivated and determined to go to college. She refined her interests and involvement in school, forgoing membership in clubs, like yearbook and the international club, to focus on her new education interests. She served on committees with her high-school principal as well as on an internship with the school superintendent.

“I would have never gotten the confidence to get involved in my school beyond clubs if it wasn’t for SCOPE,” she said. “As a result of my involvement and my academic efforts, I got a scholarship for my undergraduate education that I couldn’t be more grateful for. I feel extremely lucky to have been a part of SCOPE.” Penn State College of Education Annual Report

Charnice Culmer “The freedom and knowing that I was responsible for everything that I did was exciting for me.

It was one of the best experiences in my life. I still cherish it to this day.”

C

harnice Culmer was nervous when she first arrived at Penn State for her four-week stay as a SCOPE participant. After all, she had never stayed away from home for such a long period of time before. But the nervousness soon melted away as she made friends with the other highschool students and became close with the SCOPE instructors.

“The freedom and knowing that I was responsible for everything that I did was exciting for me,” said Culmer.

“It was one of the best experiences in my life. I still cherish it to this day.”

Culmer, who is a junior in rehabilitation and human services and plans to obtain a master’s degree in education and then work as a school counselor, said the SCOPE program taught her so much more than how to apply to college and what it’s like to be a student; it helped her to become more responsible.

“SCOPE helped me a great deal because the program challenged my self-reliance skills,” she said.

“It provided me with my first opportunity to make sure I accomplished things, like waking up on time and staying on top of my work, by myself; there was no one there to remind me. The program instructors treated us like adults and we were responsible for ourselves and our actions.”

According to Culmer, the program required the students to write a research paper on a topic of education of their choosing, as well as present a poster on the topic. The students also were asked to produce a video.

“This was something I had never done before, but after, it felt so rewarding to know that I had learned and acquired skills that others of my cohort back home most likely had not yet developed.”

t’s easy to see how important SCOPE is in the lives of its highschool participants, but the program’s benefits extend beyond just students to include instructors as well.

“My role as a SCOPE instructor was key and instrumental for my graduate education at Penn State because it provided me with organizational tools, motivation to pursue my studies, a sense of cultural awareness, and an understanding of the collaborative work that is necessary in order to succeed in graduate school,” said Elsie Olan ‘12 Ph.D., a former graduate student in the college.

The skills Olan acquired through teaching in the SCOPE program eventually helped land her a job as an

that’s what the 2003 alumna of the program believes.

“If I didn’t go to the program, I wouldn’t have a degree, because I thought college was out of my family’s financial reach when I was in high school,” she said.

Once on campus as a SCOPE student, she quickly learned that college was possible through a combination of scholarships and student loans. She also learned how to push herself beyond her comfort zone.

“If I had a question during the application process, Maria and Charleon [SCOPE staff members] directed me to the right contact person. They knew how shy I was, so I know every time they sent me to contact someone, it was helping me

overcome that shyness,” said Cheng.

“Maria and Charleon were like aunts.

When I returned to Penn State as a college student, I knew that I wasn’t going to a place that was completely new, I was coming back to a family.”

Cheng, who earned a bachelor’s degree in education at Penn State, now teaches a Saturday martial-arts class and a summer martial-arts camp in addition to her work as a teacher.

“Eventually, I see myself running an after-school and summer martial-arts program for disadvantaged kids full time,” she said. “Right now, I work to get kids grants to come to my summer camp, but that needs to be expanded much more. I’m already thinking ahead to next year and how I can help more kids participate without burdening their families financially.”

Elsie Olan assistant professor at the University of Central Florida in its College of Education. But, according to Olan, the experience was much more than just a way to boost her resume. It opened her eyes to the power of a helping hand in an adolescent’s life.

“One of my SCOPERS commented on how he never thought that college was something he could aspire to,” she said. “During that summer, I realized how many SCOPERS felt the same way. In fact, it was at this very moment that I acknowledged how the SCOPE program was an agent of change for my SCOPERS and myself.

I had the opportunity of seeing these SCOPERS walk in the program with hope, willingness, and self-doubt,

and leave the program with a sense of belonging, the strength to dream and attain their dreams, and academic direction.”

A Passion for Education: John and Micheal West A

“My wife Micheal and I believe that some of the greatest talent in the United States and the world are children that do not have the means to pay for their own education.”

Transforming Lives

s CEO of Lion Asset Management, a private equity group that targets the human capital services industry, John West ’78 ENG has engaged in extensive international work. Through it, he has made the observation that the only way the United States can remain competitive on the world stage is by educating its citizens.

“My wife Micheal ’83 BUS and I want to do our part to help young people, our country, and the world to be a better place,” he said.

That’s why the couple created the John and Micheal West Endowed Fund in the College of Education in 2002. The overall goal of the endowment is to support educational programs for at-risk students, particularly those programs that provide safe, structured environments where such students can advance academically and remain focused on career and life aspirations.

SCOPE’s focus on helping high-school students from multicultural backgrounds—most of whom are first-generation, college-bound learners— makes SCOPE a clear fit for the Wests. The West endowment has provided SCOPE students with tuition to attend the program.

“Micheal and I feel our success is greatly due to our educations of which Penn State played a large part,” said John. “As such, we have great passion to help educate and expose others to educational opportunities. My wife Micheal and I believe that some of the greatest talent in the United States and the world are children that do not have the means to pay for their own education.”

After earning a bachelor’s degree in engineering at Penn State in 1978, John received a master of business administration degree at Bowling Green State University in 1985.

Micheal works as an executive at Lion Asset Management. The couple live in Tampa, Florida. Their daughter Sara is a current Penn State student—a Schreyer scholar majoring in accounting. Their son Stephen is attending the University of Virginia. Their third child, Shannon, is a junior at Berkeley Preparatory School in Tampa, Florida.

“It is a wonderful feeling to know we have provided high-school students from urban areas an opportunity to experience college life,” said Micheal.

“John and I feel that Penn State is a great institution, and we wanted to give students an opportunity in the education field so some day they will give back to their communities.”

College Advancement ‘I initially chose Penn State because of the campus’s beauty and its academic promise. I fell in love with the school because of its sense of community and support. The education I’m receiving is everything I hoped for and more, and I am looking forward to acquiring more knowledge in my courses.’

shley Dorn is a proud Penn Stater and accomplished student in the College of Education. Like many students, Ashley is not short on praise when asked about her Penn State experience. The reasons that students develop an affinity for this University, and carry it forward into their professional lives, are varied and unique. But whatever their specific motives might be, there exists a common thread of appreciation for Penn State’s rich traditions and gratitude for its lifechanging opportunities.

The students at Penn State today come to this University to enjoy the same advantages that students have experienced for decades – a respected academic reputation, influential mentorship, the wide variety of activities and organizations, and the prestige of a Penn State degree. While these have all remained constant, the needs of the College and our students have evolved. This is why we rely on annual gifts to help us continue to set the College of Education apart from our peers.

We are fortunate that one of our strong Penn State traditions is philanthropy – the generosity of donors has made the University what it is today. By committing to an annual gift, you can maintain the strength of our College and ensure

that the Penn State experience thrives far into the future.

With streamlined planning and execution, the College has leveraged annual gifts to create an extraordinary environment of learning and discovery for students and faculty alike. Your gifts are tied to tangible outcomes and strategic priorities, and count toward our For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students.

In recent years, we’ve utilized annual giving funds to provide our students with scholarship support.

enn State’s College of Education and National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) have partnered to establish the Advanced Center for the Study of the Learning Sciences.

The recently funded Center has several goals, including enhancing research capabilities, cultivating young scholars, recruiting outstanding researchers from the world, and strengthening industry-university cooperation, with the ultimate goal of establishing this center as a worldrenowned center in the field of the learning sciences, with a focus on language acquisition, scientific literacy, and learning technology.

Penn State and NTNU are sister universities. At present more than twenty faculty members from NTNU and a similar number of scholars from Penn State are contributing to center activities, including researchers from the College of Education, the College of the Liberal Arts, and the College of Information Sciences and Technology.

he College is partnering with the Penn State’s World Campus and the College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) to create a Center for Online Innovation in Learning to help faculty researchers invent, implement, and investigate new technology uses to improve online teaching and learning.

The center will engage interested faculty and staff from all colleges and campuses as they explore new approaches in online learning and the effects of those new approaches on what teachers and learners do, how they do it, and what they learn.

Seven Students Receive Dean’s Graduate Assistantships for Engaged Scholarship & Research in Education

S

even students have been named recipients of Dean’s Graduate Assistantships for Engaged Scholarship & Research in Education.

Awardees are Yung-Chen (Jen) Chiu, Laura D’Aveta, Katherine Marino, Yann Shiou Ong, Fariha H. Salman, Liang Sun, and Mark Umbricht.

Dean’s Graduate Assistantships are funded jointly by the College of Education and Penn State’s Graduate School. The assistantships are designed to support some of the most promising students who are applying for admission to the College’s doctoral programs.

“Competition is remarkably intense for the top graduate student talent in the field of education, and we know financial support is an important consideration for the students we are seeking to recruit,” said David H. Monk, dean of the College of Education. “The Dean’s Graduate Assistantship program permits us to make highly competitive offers, and we are delighted with the first-year results.”

Candidates for assistantships are nominated by faculty members of the College’s academic programs. Each graduate assistant receives the first two years of funding through Penn State resources based on successful

doctoral level study. Students are considered for subsequent support from externally funded research projects or other sources.

Through the assistantship, new recipient Mark Umbricht is working with John Cheslock, associate professor and director of Center for the Study of Higher Education (CSHE). “We are conducting research on the changing nature of faculty productivity and courses over time at Penn State,” said Umbricht. “This assistantship not only provides me with funding, but also the chance to work with the talented faculty members at the CSHE. The cuttingedge research we are doing will give me solid experience in institutional research, the field I plan to enter after graduation.”

Yung-Chen (Jen) Chiu, another new recipient who is originally from Taiwan, is working with Liza Conyers, associate professor of education. “When I worked in the rehabilitation field as an occupational therapist, I saw tremendous needs for system change in Taiwan,” said Chiu. “Receiving the Dean’s Graduate Assistantship for Engaged Scholarship & Research will allow me to conduct research on cultural influences on disability and integrative rehabilitation approaches.”

Katherine Marino’s research involves investigation of the effects of ignoring multilevel or clustered data when running factor analysis. “This graduate assistantship is incredibly important to me because it is allowing me to pursue my goal of becoming a psychometrician,” she said. “I have a passion for statistics and improving the field of educational measurement.

I would not be able to accomplish this goal of working in the field of testing and measurement without first completing a doctoral degree.

This assistantship is allowing me to attend a prestigious university and receive a quality education in my field of interest. As a result, I have a great opportunity to pursue a career in a field of much importance and influence and one that I am very excited about.”

While these new recipients of the assistantship are just beginning to wet their toes regarding research, more seasoned graduate student recipients are fully immersed. During her two years at Penn State, Heather Atkinson has worked with James Herbert, professor of education, on multiple projects, including research related to the supervision of rehabilitation counselors and retention rates of students with disabilities.

She currently holds a graduate assistantship in the Health Promotion and Wellness office at University Health Services. In this position she has the opportunity to counsel students enrolled in the Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) program. She also is conducting research involving earlystage counselors and their work with students in the BASICS program.

“I am grateful to have been on the Dean’s Assistantship for my first two years at Penn State,” said Atkinson.

“I would have been unable to pursue my Ph.D. degree in counselor education and supervision without this funding.”

And yet, there has been very little research on the effectiveness of these programs in promoting college attendance and degree attainment.

As increasing the proportion of Americans with postsecondary credentials has been established as a critical national goal by President Obama, this research will help further our understanding of the role of state merit aid in helping achieve that goal.

The importance of this research is that if an effective supervisory training program can be developed, it offers potential to impact rehabilitation counselor performance and ultimately improve vocational rehabilitation outcomes for persons with disabilities.

he purpose of the grant is to iteratively design, develop, and test a web-based intelligent tutoring system to deliver structure strategy training (SWELL) to grade four through six native-Spanish-speaking, English-language (EL) learners that will improve their comprehension of expository texts. Intelligent Tutoring of the Structure Strategy (ITSS) was designed in our past IES grants and showed improvement in students’ reading comprehension as measured by quality of main ideas Continued on next page

Continued from previous page written, recall, cloze tests, and a standardized reading comprehension test. Through structure strategy instruction, students learn how to figure out the author’s organization of nonfiction and organize their own mental representations in similar ways (e.g., problem-solution, comparison, causation, sequence, description).

English-language learners are at particular high risk for poor educational outcomes due to poorer reading performance. Thus, there

is a pressing need for instructional strategies that will improve Englishas-a-second-language reading comprehension.

The current IES grant focuses on EL learners who are orally proficient in Spanish with different degrees of Spanish literacy and who lack academic English reading comprehension skills. Outcomes for this three-year grant are (a) a detailed description of instructional practices used in SWELL with

theoretical and empirical justification; (b) a fully developed version of the SWELL intervention appropriate for Spanish-speaking EL learners in grades four through six (with easier versions of each passage for individualization); (c) data about feasibility of implementation; and (d) pilot data addressing the promise of the intervention for improving reading comprehension for expository texts by multiple profiles of Spanish-speaking EL learners.

illiam E. Farrell ’59 Edu, chief executive officer of Executive Management Consultants, Inc., has been named an Alumni Fellow by the Penn State Alumni Association.

Farrell was honored with other Fellows at a ceremony held on October 19.

Farrell retired from an executive position at IBM in 1991 after a three-decade-long career. During his time at IBM, Farrell helped develop a planning methodology that was incorporated worldwide by both IBM and the White House.

He also led an effort that resulted in the company making its largest community donation ever to an adult community job training center. Since leaving IBM, Farrell has made other community and business contributions.

One highlight came during his tenure at SKYDEX Corporation (1993-2003). Farrell facilitated a project with Penn State trainers, doctors, and Ed Dare – the father of Penn State pole vaulter Kevin Dare, who died during a pole vaulting competition in 2002 – to develop a safer pole vault softbox. The new design and padding are now standard pole vaulting equipment, and the cushioning technology

has been applied to a wide range of athletic equipment and surfaces beyond pole vault boxes to improve safety in many sports.

Farrell has been active in community service, sitting on the boards of the Civic Association of River Falls, Rocky Mountain SER Jobs for Progress, and Wide Horizon nursing home facilities. Farrell is a founding member, Chairman of the Board, and chief financial officer of For Thine Is the Glory, Inc., a nonprofit organization whose purpose is “to produce inspirational films.”
