Welcome to the Lurie College family!

IN THIS REPORT Dear Alumni and Friends -The Connie L. Lurie College of Education is a place of transformation. I recently completed my first year here as Dean of the College of Education at San José State University, and it has been a daily joy to witness the commitment of our students, faculty, and staff to making a transformative difference in the lives of individuals, communities, and systems. In our 2019 annual report, you will witness compelling evidence of this commitment.

On page 5, for example, you’ll meet Robyn Riedstra, an elementary credential candidate in the Teacher Education Department who overcame her initial fears to sign up for our STEM+C Summer Teacher Institute because she recognized that access to quality math and science education is a social justice issue for many of our K-12 students. On page 8, you’ll meet the students in the Lurie College Promise Group. These students are all the first in their families to attend college. Led by Dr. Donna Bee-Gates and supported by mentor faculty from across the college, the group supports the personal, academic, and professional transformations of each of these scholars as they become leaders among their peers.

On page 11, you’ll meet our EdD students. All of these students are full time educators themselves, working in local community colleges, non-profits, K-12 school districts, and right here at SJSU. Led by Dr. Arnold Danzig and Dr. Emily Slusser, our Cohort 5 students dedicated two weeks of their summer to travel to Finland to examine an educational system that scores near the top of nearly all international comparisons. Their takeaways will prepare them to transform the systems they work in right here in the Silicon Valley.

Heather Lattimer, Ed.D Dean and Professor Connie L. Lurie College of Education San José State University

Dr. Ellen Middaugh’s outstanding scholarship is highlighted on page 14. Her research focuses on digital media and youth civic engagement. Dr. Middaugh addresses the challenges presented by online environments, and also highlights the potential for young people to harness social media, strengthen their agency, and transform their world.

These examples reflect a broad and deep commitment from across the college to the work of transformation. During the past year we’ve also made significant investments in outreach and recruitment with the goal of diversifying our educator workforce; restructured our scholarship programs to better respond to the needs of our students; expanded support for faculty and student engagement in research; grown interdepartmental initiatives focused on early childhood and bilingual learning; and expanded partnerships with schools, school districts, clinics, and community based organizations.

As we look ahead, it is exciting to hear our students, staff, and faculty envision possibilities for even greater transformation during our strategic planning conversations. Some examples include visions for new and re-imagined degree programs grounded in emancipatory pedagogy, interdisciplinary research that cuts across P-20 educational institutional boundaries, and partnership initiatives that elevate the voices and experiences of communities to transform our educational ecosystem.

The Lurie College of Education is committed to creating meaningful learning experiences for our current and future students as they prepare to be transformative educators, counselors, therapists, and leaders. Essential to this work is strengthening and expanding our outreach and recruitment efforts, with an emphasis on closing the diversity gap in our educator workforce, and building pathways that prioritize high demand disciplines of bilingual education, special education, math, science and computer science education.

Over the past year, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve strengthened bridges with high schools and community colleges, reached out to undergraduate students and faculty across the university, reorganized our student success center to engage and support students even before they officially join our Lurie College family, restructured our scholarship funding, and built academic year and summer programming to directly address teacher preparation in high demand disciplines.

Increasing Access for Educators & Students

CELEBRATION OF TEACHING CEREMONY GROWS For the second year in a row, Lurie College hosted our Celebration of Teaching Ceremony, which recognizes students who possess the qualities to become outstanding teachers. This year, we recognized 87 local middle school, high school, community college, and university students who were nominated by their teachers, principals, professors, and supervisors. Each awardee received a certificate from the Lurie College of Education along with a $1000 scholarship if they enroll in a teaching credential program at Lurie College in the future. The ceremony also featured a keynote address from Ashanti Branch, Founder and Executive Director of the Ever Forward Club. For more information, visit sjsu.edu/education/celebration-of-teaching.

Your support, no matter how much or how little, can enable the SJSU Connie L. Lurie College of Education to continue to expand opportunities like these and increase the amount of financial support provided to Lurie College students.

Scholarship recipients:

SUMMER STEM+C TEACHER INSTITUTE SUCCESS In Summer 2019, Lurie College launched the STEM+C Teacher Institute. This program, which piloted with 20 students during our first summer, recognizes the social justice imperative for all K-12 students to have access to high quality STEM and Computer Science learning, particularly in the Silicon Valley. Thanks to a grant from the California Mathematics and Science Teacher Initiative (MSTI), participants were able to engage in hands-on math content instruction and make progress toward adding a math foundations credential to their elementary or secondary teacher preparation program. Additionally, participants had the opportunity to work as paid college mentors through the Silicon Valley Education Foundation’s Elevate Math summer enrichment program for elementary and middle school students. Thanks to a generous grant from Microsoft, our future teachers were also able to participate in the Krause Center for Innovation’s Computer Science Crash Course. This was a great opportunity to develop their CS skills and to network with experienced K-12 teachers. Following the successful pilot, we will be significantly expanding the STEM+C Teacher Institute in Summer 2020, growing to include more students and more content offerings.

Robyn Riedstra recently earned her Master of Arts from SJSU and decided to enroll in these summer programs despite the challenges she thought she might face. "Math was always a really hard subject for me," Robyn explained, "I failed math and would drop out of college, and this happened repeatedly."

However, she had a transformative experience in both programs, received multiple offers to teach full-time as a result of her qualifications, and is now a middle school math teacher in the Alum Rock Union School District!

2019-2020: 108 2018-2019: 95 2017-2018: 76 Average award for 2019-2020: $2390

The Promise Group

Leaders of Lurie College

Teacher Appreciation Week

The Promise Group was established to create opportunities for first generation undergraduate students and those who are part of the Spartan Scholars, Guardian Scholars, or Educational Opportunity Program. Students participate in a year-long personal, academic, and professional development experience - which includes biweekly group seminars on a range of academic, personal, and professional development topics - and get paired up with a faculty or staff mentor. To learn more and watch a video about the impact of the program, visit sjsu.edu/education/organizations.

"As the daughter of an immigrant woman, the youngest of six children, and the first to attend college, I feel immense gratitude to receive the privilege that is education.

Although the road to get here has been far from easy, what I've found is that persistence and hard work always wins.

By adopting a growth mindset, I began to grow academically, professionally, and personally in ways I never imagined. So no matter where you are in your journey, know that determination will get you far."

- Justine Voung, graduate student

Nearly a quarter of the population in the United States is enrolled in school, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Consequently, teachers bear an enormous responsibility in creating meaningful learning opportunities for students and play a crucial role in shaping their individual and collective identities. During this year's Teacher Appreciation Week, the Lurie College of Education celebrated and amplified the stories of some of our students, faculty, and alumni from the Department of Special Education. Listen to their stories on the Lurie College blog at bit.ly/lurie-appreciation.

"After working four incredible years at a title I elementary school, I realized it is imperative that educators attract young students to the idea that education offers the best chance to reach limitless possibilities. My experience with the Lurie College of Education has provided a platform for me to inspire young children in a classroom setting and be living proof that with an education, opportunities are limitless."

FACULTY SPOTLIGHT ON DR. ELLEN MIDDAUGH Dr. Ellen Middaugh's research is guided by the question, “How do youth become effective advocates for themselves and their communities in the digital age?” As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Child and Adolescent Development, she is interested in how the internet and participatory media enable and constrain civic participation.

Dr. Middaugh conducts research around areas such as how youth use social media to express public voice and build community.

During the Spring 2019 semester, Dr. Middaugh was selected to present her research - “Coming of Age in the Era of Outrage: Digital Media and Youth Civic Engagement” - to faculty, students, and the general public at the SJSU University Scholar Series. Dr. Middaugh and her research were also referenced by SJSU President Mary Papazian in her blog post about faculty members who demonstrate how to excel and lead, which is one of the goals of the recently-released SJSU strategic plan, Transformation 2030. Read the full blog post at bit.ly/sjsu-excel.

Faculty Impact Lurie College is committed to working in partnership with school districts, clinics, and community organizations. Intentional collaboration with dedicated school and community leaders helps us to ensure that we are preparing highly qualified graduates, reducing barriers to entry in education-related professions, and closing workforce diversity gaps. Faculty leaders have been instrumental in launching and growing partnership initiatives.

PREPARING SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS TO WORK WITH DIVERSE COMMUNITIES Dr. Wendy Quach, from the Department of Communicative Disorders and Sciences, is the lead investigator on two initiatives that address critical personnel shortages in speech and language pathology. Project Tapestry, funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, provides enhanced cultural competence training and direct financial support for graduate students committed to working in diverse communities. During the five years of the grant, 60 SJSU students will receive specialized preparation to respond to the specific strengths and needs of California’s diverse K-12 student population.

The Educating Pacific Island Clinicians in SpeechLanguage Pathology (EPICS) project, also led by Dr. Quach and funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, provides academic and clinical training for future speech language pathologists in Guam. With the support of local education partners, this unique program provides on-site and online coursework to address the severe shortage of trained speech language pathologists in this U.S. territory. This past summer, the first nine Guam-based EPICS scholars traveled to California to complete externships at clinics in the San José area. We look forward to welcoming an additional ten EPICS scholars for their San José based clinical externships in summer 2020.

NEW PATHWAYS INTO TEACHING Drs. Peg Hughes and Lisa Simpson, from the Department of Special Education, have built a partnership with the San José Unified School District that supports the district’s efforts to encourage educators already within the district to pursue education specialist credentials. Through the “Rise Into Special Education” (RISE) program, current instructional aides and general education teachers in SJUSD can enroll in specially designed pathways in Lurie College’s special education preparation programs. A Local Solutions grant from the California Department of Education and the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, covers the cost of tuition and provides additional mentoring supports.

Drs. David Whitenack and Lisa Simpson, from the Departments of Teacher Education and Special Education respectively, have forged partnerships with Franklin McKinley and Oak Grove School Districts in East San José to craft integrated, year long residency programs for math, science, and special education candidates.

Evidence has demonstrated that residencies result in better prepared teachers who persist in the profession and out-perform their peers, particularly in hard-to-staff schools. In addition to specialized trainings for mentor teachers and individualized residency supports for our teacher candidates, Lurie College residents are eligible to receive a $10,000 stipend to help cover the costs of tuition and living expenses while they are in the program.

The residency programs are funded by grants from the California Department of Education and the California State University (CSU) Residency Year Service Scholarship Program, which is supported by the S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation.

Emily Slusser and Maria Fusaro have recently established the SJSU Early Childhood Institute (ECI), which aims to establish a network of SJSU faculty affiliate members from across disciplines who are interested in research and/or training in issues related to early childhood. Their launch in the 2019-2020 academic year will include establishing a research and training network as well as implementing a speaker series featuring experts in the field.

New Degree Programs in Educational Leadership To address the leadership needs of higher education institutions in Northern California the Lurie College of Education is starting a Master's Degree program in Higher Education Leadership. Preparations for the launch of the program will begin during the upcoming academic year. Additionally, our existing Master's Degree in Administration and Supervision is undergoing significant revisions to respond to priorities and needs of emerging K-12 school leaders. We expect to begin the redesigned Emancipatory School Leadership Program in Summer 2020.

Faces of Learning This arts-based research initiative is designed to elicit student voices to provide insights into learning experiences at SJSU. The project will engage undergraduate students as co-researchers and provide them with training and support as they use photography and narrative inquiry to elicit “learning stories” from their peers. In Spring 2020, the project will culminate with an interactive exhibit that displays artifacts generated from the research, engages the larger SJSU community in a conversation around the state of learning at SJSU, and leads to recommendations that strengthen the “Future of Learning."
