2013 Annual Report - Penn State College of Education

Educators and Leaders

2013 Annual Report

Dean’s Message The Penn State College of Education was founded with the clear expectation that it would provide and develop leadership for the entire field of education, within as well as beyond the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

This is a daunting, but inspiring, challenge, and I am proud to say we have responded admirably. Leadership and its development is deeply embedded in the College. The faculty is profoundly committed to conducting research that expands the boundaries of what we know about teaching and learning in a wide range of settings, in a variety of content areas, and with learners of differing ages and capabilities.

We are proud to call attention in this annual report to several new funded research projects. Karen Murphy and Paul Morgan have each received significant grants from the federal government to continue their research into vocabulary development, attention deficit disorders, and the uses of text and discourse to enhance comprehension.

We are also deeply committed to providing leadership for the field through the development and testing of new approaches to longstanding challenges such as bullying behavior. Jeffery and Cynthia King have demonstrated their confidence in the work of two faculty members in our Counselor Education program, JoLynn Carney and Richard

Hazler, as they help develop bullying prevention programs for schools and communities. The King Family Impact Endowment, which you will learn more about in this annual report, will provide important opportunities for the College to expand its impact on the reduction of bullying behaviors in educational settings.

From its earliest days, the College has prided itself on preparing leaders at both the undergraduate and graduate levels through our degree and certificate programs. In September, General Robert Kehler, an Air Force General and College of Education alumnus, spoke eloquently about leadership at our annual scholarship dinner. As he addressed a room filled with scholarship recipients and donors, I was deeply struck by how his message captured the essence of what we work hard to accomplish in all of our preparation programs.

While we offer a graduate program in Educational Leadership that serves the needs of students preparing for administrative roles like principalships and superintendencies, I am always careful not to equate leadership with administration. Yes, we want our administrators to be leaders, but it is also important to recognize that leadership can and should be provided by teachers, counselors, psychologists, therapists, scholars, students, and others in non-administrative roles. This was an important part of General Kehler’s message, and we are very pleased to use this annual report to call attention to his speech as well as to several of our outstanding student leaders. We also share stories about some of our remarkable alumni leaders who have been recently honored with University and College awards for their accomplishments.

Our donors are also leaders, and I am very grateful to them for their continued support. They see the value of the College and the more than ninety years of leadership we have provided for the field. We hope the stories of our successes will stimulate even larger numbers of supporters for our work.

As the calendar year reaches its conclusion, I wish you the very best for 2014 and beyond. It is a privilege to include you in our Penn State College of Education family.

Alumnus and General Robert Kehler Offers Valuable Lessons in Leadership “A leader’s true character emerges when the pressure is on.” and knowing how to apply available resources to get the job done.

Kehler cited the third critical leadership element of competence in describing his own leadership style. He said a fundamental tenet he follows is to never demand from others what he is not willing to do himself.

“This is a simple philosophy, but it is easier said than done,” said Kehler. “It requires you to view yourself as a servant leader, which involves being an example in all things.”

Robert Kehler ’74 MU ED B.S., a four-star general in the U.S. Air Force and Commander, U.S. Strategic Command, was the keynote speaker for the College of Education scholarship dinner in September. In his presentation, Kehler addressed some key elements of leadership, how Penn State prepared him to be a leader, and how he sees that continue in Penn State students today.

Kehler listed three fundamental attributes of leadership: character, vision, and competence.

According to Kehler, character is critical because it is what you are doing when no one is looking.

“A leader’s true character emerges when the pressure is on,” said Kehler. “With character, everyone in the organization can trust that your motivations are sound and that you will always place the needs of those you serve above your own.”

Kehler added that character is about having a commitment to excellence and holding yourself accountable for results, pointing out that decades of hard work and leadership can be wiped away by one failure of character.

Vision is the second critical leadership component, according to Kehler.

“Effective leaders must have the foresight to plan the way ahead,” said Kehler. “This is especially necessary when leaders are faced with complexity, uncertainty, and ambiguity.”

Kehler added that vision is about recognizing the context in which your organization operates, having a clear understanding of your mission, knowing your people,

He clarified, “You may not be the world’s expert in the tasks at hand, but you better know what your people are doing, how, and why. Most importantly, you must have a crystalclear understanding of what it takes to get the job done.”

Kehler said that the first step toward being a good leader is to understand what it is to be a good follower.

“I often tell junior officers that they should focus on three things as they enter the military,” said Kehler. “First, become expert at your job, learn what is expected of you and become a professional. Second, get involved with your people. This provides an avenue for deeper understanding of the human dimension that leads to success. Finally, you must perform because leaders are ultimately judged on their effectiveness.”

Kehler said he has been impressed with Penn State student leadership and their resilience especially in response to unprecedented and highly visible adversity.

“I’m impressed that Penn State students showed the world that they are Penn State,” said Kehler. “Students showed great poise in public settings and, in many cases, their positive words helped change outside perceptions about the University.”

Kehler said Penn State helped prepare him as a leader.

“The ideas, concepts, and experiences from my undergraduate time molded me,” said Kehler. “The University encouraged me to think about my role in helping to solve real problems. Penn State—particularly the College of Education—is infused with a powerful spirit of service. The tenets of service, sacrifice, and honor in the military seemed natural and instinctual after my educational preparation at Penn State.”

“Since I was a child, I was always drawn to leadership positions. Here at Penn State, I’ve identified roles where I believed I could develop personally and professionally, have some influence in the organization, and learn more about the institution and its constituents.”

For as long as she can remember, Talia Carroll has had a desire to lead.

“Since I was a child, I was always drawn to leadership positions. Here at Penn State, I’ve identified roles where I believed I could develop personally and professionally, have some influence in the organization, and learn more about the institution and its constituents,” Carroll said.

Carroll, a doctoral candidate in the Higher Education program, was elected to serve as the Higher Education Student Association president last year.

“What I enjoyed most while in this position were my interactions with the then first-year higher education program students, and my interactions with the Higher Education Program Alumni Council,” she said.

“The students were so willing to jump right in and be actively engaged. They were so supportive of me, and I know that without them, the year could have turned out completely different. They are now major leaders in our program, which is so wonderful to see.”

Carroll is currently the editor of Higher Education in Review (HER). The goal of HER is to provide graduate students from across the country the opportunity to publish, but with the focus of receiving constructive feedback. In this and other leadership positions, she said she draws on the examples others have set for her.

“When I think about good leaders, I think about those who are patient, understanding, willing to take risks, able to effectively communicate, allow others to really utilize their talents, and do not take things personally,” Carroll said.

“I do my best to absorb all of the positive traits I see in others and make sure that I tell them what I appreciate about them. Leaders always find ways to continue to grow.”

Eryka Charley

Ph.D. Candidate—Educational Leadership and American Indian Leadership Program

“I see myself as more of a medium, trying to streamline communication. I don’t always necessarily believe people are naturally attuned to everything that’s going on.

I try to make sure there are avenues and platforms so people can eventually come to an understanding.”

Eryka Charley says she doesn’t actively look for positions of leadership. However, her history tells you those positions find her nonetheless.

“I’ve never actually sought out leadership positions; I’ve always been nominated,” she said.

“I see myself as more of a medium, trying to streamline communication. I don’t always necessarily believe people are naturally attuned to everything that’s going on. I try to make sure there are avenues and platforms so people can eventually come to an understanding.”

Charley, a doctoral candidate in the Educational Leadership program, has served as vice president of the Educational Policy Studies Student Association and as a student representative for the American Indian Leadership Program (AILP).

“The population of American Indians with a postsecondary education is rare, and the Penn State AILP is a hallmark of leadership in Indian education, especially since so many Penn State graduates have been successful in making strides in Indian education. In particular, they are some of the few highly educated American Indian educators who have been able to return to the reservation and improve conditions,” she said.

“Simply being affiliated with the AILP puts me in a very peculiar position in Indian country because so many Indians recognize the value and appreciate the skills that have been obtained.”

Charley’s dissertation, titled “Overcoming Social Exclusion: Stories from High-Achieving American Indian Students,” seeks to better understand the methods and behaviors that American Indian students enact to persist academically. In particular, it places those behaviors within the tradition of tribal nation-building and acts to promote tribal sovereignty.

Those ideals are similar to what Charley thinks a good leader should be.

“I think that a good leader views the position as a position of service,” she said. “I think a leader needs to have vision, and be able to communicate with the community or organization from which they were elected.”

Chad Littlefield Master’s Candidate—Learning, Design, and Technology

As a freshman, Littlefield founded The Clown Nose Club (CNC), a student organization that believes that people matter and genuine positivity is worth spreading.

“I believe in conversational leadership, not directive leadership. There is value in leading by helping people see themselves and what they can do. I want to have a conversation with the people I am leading. Rather than point them in some direction, I like to work toward that direction together.”

Don’t laugh, but Chad Littlefield, an alumnus of the Rehabilitation and Human Services program and a current graduate student in Learning, Design, and Technology, started his leadership experience with a red, foam clown nose.

Littlefield believes that people are valuable and worthwhile, and his leadership style is influenced by his passion for people, relationships, and community.

“For me, the most important part of being a person is the connection with people,” said Littlefield.

In a 2013 TEDxPSU Talk, Littlefield had an opportunity to talk about this belief and share his philosophy of what he calls positive social risks.

Today, Littlefield works with World in Conversation (WinC), an organization that aims to facilitate dialogues that expand perspectives and invite greater understanding.

“My job is to sit eight strangers down together in a room and talk about the stuff you are not supposed to talk about, like race, gender, and culture issues,” said Littlefield. He added that his role is not to supply answers, but to facilitate or help smooth the process of conversation.

Littlefield said his leadership philosophy has been informed by his work at WinC. “I believe in conversational leadership, not directive leadership,” said Littlefield. “There is value in leading by helping people see themselves and what they can do. I want to have a conversation with the people I am leading. Rather than point them in some direction, I like to work toward that direction together.”

Littlefield said he would like to someday take the ideas that are entrenched in CNC as well as what he has learned at WinC and form a company that offers consulting services based around interpersonal skills, communication, and team building.

Maggie Cardin

Marcy Herr

Senior—Childhood and Early Adolescent Education

Senior—Education and Public Policy; Master’s Candidate— Educational Theory and Policy

Maggie Cardin, a senior Childhood and Early Adolescent Education major and Presidential Leadership Academy student, has been leading an effort to create a mental-health training requirement for educators.

After Cardin lost her only sibling to suicide, she became involved with a small, school-based mentalhealth advocacy club, A Helping Hand. While in high school, she worked to spread the club’s message to surrounding schools. Eventually, A Helping Hand evolved into Aevidum, a student-led mental-health advocacy club that exists to raise awareness of the warning signs of depression and suicide among adolescents and young adults.

“Aevidum raises positive awareness and works with school counselors who then can help support the needs of students,” said Cardin.

Cardin has spoken at more than sixty schools as well as churches and other community events.

“My personal purpose for talking is so that no one ever has to stand on a stage and talk about their brother in past tense because of suicide,” said Cardin.

“I also speak to let people know that someone is there for them, that someone cares.”

Cardin’s efforts have started to come to fruition. College of Education Associate Professor of Counselor Education Elizabeth Mellin is working with Cardin to develop a voluntary training around signs of suicide and depression among students for pre-service teachers.

It’s long been debated whether leaders are born or made. College of Education student Marcy Herr provides a perfect case study for the former.

Since an early age, the Lancaster, Pennsylvania, native has seemingly always stepped to the front of groups.

“I think I’m a servant leader. In kindergarten, I received a faithful servant award. In middle school, I was elected a peer helper by my peers. Senior year, my superlative was ‘Most Helpful.’ I was a kindness ambassador for Lancaster County,” Herr said.

“Since I was six years old, I’ve been seeing what I could do to help others within my community.”

Despite a full academic slate that includes pursuing both a B.S. in Education and Public Policy and an M.A. in Educational Theory and Policy/Comparative and International Education, the Schreyer Scholar’s leadership footprints are all over the College and the University.

She currently serves in leadership capacities in six different groups. They include two College of Education groups—Students Together in Education Policy and College of Education Student Council— as well as the senior class gift committee. She is a student in the prestigious Presidential Leadership Academy. And she was selected to Penn State’s 2013 Homecoming court.

“It is a great opportunity for Maggie to lead the training as a peer. The students will likely hear the message in a very different way from her,” said Mellin.

“I think I’ve always been a leader, but coming into college, I thought, ‘Oh, Penn State’s way too big.’ You go from a big fish in a small pond to a really tiny fish in a huge pond,” she said.

In addition to helping coordinate training for the students in the College, Cardin has been lobbying for her cause, meeting with state and U.S. lawmakers. For these efforts, Cardin was selected as a semi-finalist for the Do Something Awards, an award recognizing the nation’s best young world-changers, 25 and under.

“I really am so proud of my accomplishments here because I didn’t think it was possible. But through [the] Schreyer [Honors College] and the leadership development programs that I was involved in, I gained confidence and developed my leadership and brought it to an even higher level.”

contribute to a physically and emotionally safe environment, and involving parents and the community in projects that support anti-bullying efforts. It was developed in consultation Richard Hazler with JoLynn Carney and Richard Hazler, both faculty members in the College, who have been working on the problem of bullying since the early 1990s, and College of Education school counseling alumni.

Penn State alumnus, Jeffery L. King and his wife, Cynthia, have made a $3 million gift to Penn State, $1 million of which will create the King Family Impact Endowment in the College of Education.

This endowment will support intervention programs and research efforts that are focused on social issues in elementary and secondary schools, specifically combatting bullying in schools and communities.

“Students cannot focus on learning when they are anxiously thinking about being bullied, how to avoid it, or how to maintain their abuse of someone,” said Carney. “Project: TEAM is a program that brings JoLynn Carney together all aspects of the school and surrounding community into common efforts at reducing bullying, increasing the quality of the school environment, and providing a sense of teamwork to effectively deal with student social, psychological, and academic needs.”

Dean David H. Monk said that the King family recognizes the powerful impact schools have on intellectual and social growth and is deeply committed to building school and community environments that nurture and protect children.

Monk added, “The King family’s leadership in this area is outstanding and has prompted the College to recruit new faculty members with interests in research and demonstrations of what can be done to prevent bullying throughout educational institutions.”

“The Kings are impressed with the partnerships being developed between the College of Education and a number of schools to develop and test new approaches to the prevention of bullying and the growth of productive social relations,” said Monk. “We are very grateful for their support and look forward to demonstrating the success we are all deeply committed to achieving.”

“My Penn State education, both scholastic and social, has been invaluable in the successes I have achieved over my lifetime,” said Jeffery King.

The program, titled Project: TEAM, includes teaching students leadership and team-building skills, empowering both children and adults in school to

“My family and I are committed to continuing the tradition of giving back, started years ago by others who had the foresight to do so.”

In addition, as one of the few public institutions that the vast majority of Americans participate in, public education can play a critical role in exposing students to children of other backgrounds (e.g., race, class, linguistic, gender), and preparing them for a future as national and global citizens.

Many approaches to education have been heralded as improving opportunity for students of color, yet research continues to show vast disparities in educational outcomes and opportunities by race alongside deepening segregation/ stratification.

The conference will explore what strategies have been most effective to expand quality access to, and meaningful integration in, educational settings for students of color in the past and what might hold promise for the future.

Education, as many reformers have proclaimed, is the civil rights issue of our time. Indeed, the inability to access high-quality pre–K through higher education, which is still uneven for students from historically marginalized groups and/or in many urban and increasingly in suburban settings, is likely to have lifelong effects for students and may perpetuate segregation within our schools.

College of Education Summit Discusses STEM Education said that this summit assembled participants to explore both the challenges nationally for the roll out, the adoption, and the implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards.

Richard Duschl addresses the audience at the summit

The Penn State College of Education presented the Waterbury Summit at the Hintz Family Alumni Center at University Park on August 7–9. Richard Duschl, the Kenneth B. Waterbury Chaired Professor in Secondary Education, presided over the summit.

The purpose of the summit was to bring together education leaders and researchers to examine and discuss changes in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education. Duschl

“There is a lot of work on the alignment of curriculum, instruction and assessment that needs to get done at the K-12 levels,” said Duschl, “but more importantly these efforts need to extend into the undergraduate levels because that is where our future teachers are prepared.”

According to Duschl, this is critically important work that will take many years to address.

About fifty attendees participated in the summit, including a number of faculty members and administrators from Penn State as well as higher education institutions across the country.

Carla Zembal-Saul, professor of education and a department head for the College of Education, said the summit was an opportunity to consider the implications of the Next Generation Science Standards on K-16 education.

“One important aspect of this work is to support the preparation of highly qualified STEM professionals for the workforce of a new economy,” said Zembal-Saul.

“The other aim is equally important—crafting an educational system that can support the development of scientifically informed citizens.”

Duschl said he hopes that the summit will spawn further research and development at the University.

The Waterbury Summit is funded by the 1988 endowment to the College from Kenneth B. Waterbury.

College Celebrates its 90th Anniversary In June, the College of Education celebrated its ninetieth anniversary.

Since 1921, Penn State has worked to carry out then-President John M. Thomas’s belief that Penn State had a special obligation to improve the quality of teaching at all levels.

In 1923, Penn State formed the School of Education in order to fulfill that vision. At that time, it consisted of five departments— Home Economics, Education and Psychology, Agricultural Education, Industrial Education, and Nature Study—and had 359 students enrolled that first year.

Today, the College of Education continues that great tradition by offering students a variety of programs for both undergraduate and graduate work. The College

offers seven undergraduate degrees as well as graduate degrees and certificates in numerous nationallyranked programs. This commitment to be among the best has paid great dividends—for the College, our students, and the people served by our graduates.

The College comprises four academic departments: Learning and Performance Systems; Educational Psychology, Counseling, and Special Education; Curriculum and Instruction; and Education Policy Studies. In Fall 2013, the College had 2,143 undergraduate students at twenty locations and 1,061 graduate students at all campuses, including, online degree programs.

The College has been deeply committed to the role that needs to be played by research and evidence in the improvement of the teaching practice from its earliest days, and the faculty’s research findings have transformed the field.

“We are at a fascinating point in the history of the field of education, and the College will continue to excel and provide leadership throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and beyond,” said Dean David H. Monk. “Our more than 45,000 alumni have gone on to distinguish themselves throughout the vast field of education.”

This project investigates the role of factors including parenting practices, childcare quality, and early intervention/ early childhood special education (EI/ECSE) services in the onset of vocabulary delays during at-risk children’s infant, toddler, and preschool years and consequences for school readiness.

The focus of this project is to answer key questions about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including diagnosis patterns among U.S. students in first through eighth grade, the likelihood of receiving treatment among students diagnosed, and the effectiveness of medication, therapy, and other treatments on students diagnosed with ADHD.

The project’s activities will help identify the extent to which increasing at-risk children’s vocabulary knowledge at twenty-four and/or forty-eight months constitutes a possible mechanism for bolstering their academic and behavioral readiness at sixty months of age.

Some of the goals are to identify variables that are risk factors for ADHD among students in first through eighth grade and to estimate the effectiveness of current treatments for ADHD in improving ADHD-diagnosed students’ socio-emotional adjustment, behavior, and academic achievement.

$1,230,556 Many students struggle to understand and analyze text from print and digital media. While research has shown that classroom discussions can enhance basic cognition and critical thinking, few current models for text-based classroom discussion have been shown to be effective at increasing students’ high-level comprehension.

The researchers will develop a model of discussion, with accompanying instructional materials, that emphasizes critical-analytic thinking and high-level comprehension.

This work is based on a previous IES-funded project, which developed an intervention called Quality Talk.

This intervention was designed to promote substantive student-led classroom discussion to foster high-level comprehension and critical thinking. The current project will expand and enhance Quality Talk.

$2,172,715 This project expands and augments a currently-funded NSF Noyce Track II teacher recruitment and retention grant with Quality Talk (QT). It is hypothesized that the QT model will enhance pre- and in-service secondary teachers’ development of professional vision and leadership skills necessary for STEM education.

Over four years, the work will address critical needs in physics and chemistry education in tenth- through twelfth-grade classrooms in five of Georgia’s high-need school districts by strengthening the capacity of participating teachers to design and implement lessons that support effective dialogic interactions.

As a result of such interactions, students’ scientific literacy will be enhanced, including their ability to participate in contentrich discourse.

Karen Murphy is the recipient of the Harry and Marion Royer Eberly Faculty Fellowship in Education which has been instrumental in the research leading to these grants.
