Governor Zell Miller to Join College Faculty
Georgia Governor Zell Miller known nationally as "the education governor" will return to his alma mater, the University of Georgia, as a Distinguished Professor of Higher Education and the first holder of the Philip H. Alston Jr. Chair after his term of office ends in January, 1999.

The announcement was made July 29th by University of Georgia President Michael F. Adams in the Chapel on North Campus. Mrs. Elkin Goddard Alston, whose $1 million gift will fund the chair in honor of her late husband, attended the event, along with her son, John G. "Jimmy" Alston, a member of the University of Georgia Foundation board of trustees, and other family members.

"This is a particularly appropriate tribute to Philip Alston, whose devotion to higher education and to the University of Georgia was extraordinary," said Adams. "We are grateful to Mrs. Alston for her

A.C.T. Early Addresses Classroom

Behavioral Problems

A program designed by three College of Education faculty members to provide elementary school teachers with a new, innovative method of addressing behavioral problems in the classroom enters its third and final year of actual classroom application this fall.

According to national samples, 21 to 47 percent of schoolchildren have behavioral risk factors. Behavior problems can lead to a variety of consequences, including learning problems, the development of violent behavior in adolescence and dropping out of school.

Additionally, teachers who leave the profession within the first five years say that they are not prepared for the kind of behavioral problems they encounter in the classroom and cite this as a primary reason for quitting.

With these challenging facts in mind, Project A.C.T. Early: Advancing the Competencies of Teachers for Early Behavioral Interventions of At-Risk Children was created by Arthur M. Horne, professor of counseling and human development services; Jean A. Baker, assistant professor of educational psychology; and Randy W. Kamphaus, professor of educational psychology. The project is being funded by a three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

Oglethorpe Folklore Project _
A Service Learning Partnership

Something exciting is happening in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, something that has implications for teacher education and for local school systems all across the country. College of Education faculty and students are in the middle of a project that is redefining the educational experience for them and for 500+ students, teachers and administrators in Oglethorpe County Middle School. The collaboration and dialogue between students and the community produced by the project are resulting in a new appreciation for the strengths that exist in the county and a rejuvenation of their sense of community and history. For College faculty and students it is an exercise in the application of the concept of Service Learning—a growing trend to help students connect community service with academic learning, personal growth and civic responsibility.

The Beginnings

The project had its beginnings with collaboration between Oglethorpe County Middle School and Dr. Elizabeth Pate (associate professor of elementary education, former head of the College's middle school program, and 1998 recipient of the Richard Russell Undergraduate Teaching Award). The school and Pate had pursued active interests in identifying resources and

Greetings from the College ...

On this, the beginning of our 90th academic year, the faculty, staff, and students of the College of Education welcome you to another exciting and productive year! Whether you are beginning your first year of professional experience or nearing retirement, we know that you join us in celebrating the important role that education plays in making sure that all Georgians face a successful and satisfying future.

The College is doing its part to ensure that the future is secure through our tripartite mission of instruction, research, and service. We carry out our mission on the local, state, national, and international levels. Recently, I wrote to you that our goals for the College are excellence and recognition. We are achieving those goals in all areas of our mission.

As you will read in this newsletter, during the last year, our faculty received an unprecedented number of awards for teaching and UGA professional contributions, programs within the College were ranked among the best in the nation, and faculty were recognized by professional associations for their writing and research.

The University of Georgia has been involved in public service and outreach for more than 200 years. The College of Education has always put a very high value on contact with alumni and with other educators. We estimate that we are involved at some level with all 180 school districts in the state each year, providing service and outreach activities to a minimum of 25,000 Georgians annually. Through our writing, research, workshops, and consulting, we provide exceptional learning opportunities for teachers, administrators, parents, concerned citizens and broad categories of professionals beyond our own state.

When you were a student in the College, you were the reason for our commitment to excellent instruction, research, and service; when you graduated, you accepted the challenge of providing educational opportunities for all of your students—young or adult. We are here to help you meet that challenge. To do that, we need to hear from you about ways we can assist you in meeting your professional development goals. We welcome every opportunity to visit with our alumni. So, whether we bring academic programs to you in your hometown, or you are visiting us in Aderhold Hall, River's Crossing, or the Ramsey Center, we invite you to Stay in Touch!

Sincerely,

Russell H. Yeany

Dean

Semester Conversion

Brings Historic Changes

Fall 1998 brought an historic change to the College of Education, because that was the date for conversion to the semester system by all University System of Georgia colleges and universities. It means a new academic calendar, a new way of calculating credit hours, new course numbers and content, new payroll cycles, and a whole new way of thinking and planning.

Semester classes last 15 weeks per session, compared to the old 10 week quarters. Courses that were five quarter hours credit are now three semester hours, and the average student course load which was three courses per quarter is now five courses per semester. Confused? Many are, but most students and faculty have grown used to the idea over the past three years as preparations for the conversion have been under way.

The College of Education took the conversion to semesters as one of those rare opportunities to reexamine its entire curriculum and course content from top to bottom. This has resulted in an overall redesign of individual courses and a restructuring of the range of courses offered, with a focus on tighter integration and coordination across majors and departments.

Summer sessions under the semester system still contain long and short terms, as they did under the quarter system.

Recognition for Excellence!

Dean Yeany has set two simple goals for the College. They are excellence and recognition. In those terms, this has been another remarkable year for the College in the amount and quality of the external and internal recognition for excellence achieved by the faculty, staff and programs of the College.

Dayton, associate professor of educational leadership, is this year's recipient of the new Faculty Fellow Award for outstanding professional achievement.

Text Receives AERA Honor

The Handbook of Research on School Supervision, edited by professors Gerald Firth and Edward Pajak of educational leadership, has earned for them the Instructional Supervision Distinguished Research Award from the American Educational Research Association. According to publisher MacMillan Reference USA, the book is the first comprehensive overview of the field of school supervision that examines all the roles of educational leaders — from school superintendent and school principal to department head, team coordinator, curriculum director, instructional supervisor and others — with chapters applicable to every educational level, from early childhood education to state education departments.

Staff Awards for Excellence

Each year, College staff members are honored for excellence and for their outstanding contributions to the College. The highest single award, the College Staff Award for Excellence, was awarded in 1998 to Brenda Davis, office manager in the Department of Instructional Technology. The award carries with it a plaque, a certificate and a cash award of $1,000.

In addition, the following staff members were also recognized for outstanding service to their individual units and received certificates and cash awards: Lera McManus, administrative secretary in social science education; Carolyn Howell, education program specialist in the School of Teacher Education; Mary Cash, office manager in counseling and human development; Glenda Brown, budget analyst III in the School of Health and Human Performance; and Mary Ann Barrett, director of Student Services.

Regional Electronic Campus Now On-Line

Fall semester marked another historic development in education in the southeast. The Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), the official accrediting organization of which the State of Georgia is a member, began full operation of its Southern Regional Electronic Campus (SREC) on the World Wide Web.

In pilot test for the past year, the SREC came on-line at the beginning of Fall semester with an estimated 1,000 undergraduate and graduate credit courses being offered by 50 accredited colleges and universities in 15 states across the southeastern U.S.

Anyone with access to the World Wide Web can log onto the SREC web site where the full list of courses can be searched and browsed. Ninety percent of the courses can be taken entirely over the World Wide Web. Citizens of any state in the SREB are eligible to take courses offered by any of the institutions.

The web address for the SREC is

http://www.srec.sreb.org/.

New developments with the SREC and College of Education World Wide Web course offerings can be found at

Michael Childs Accepts Public Information Director Post

The College of Education welcomes Michael Childs as our new Public Information Director.

Childs, a longtime Athens resident, brings more than 19 years of journalism experience at daily newspapers in Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia to the post. He was a news editor for the Athens Banner-Herald/Daily News for nearly 17 years during which time he helped guide the papers to more than 40 awards for excellence by the Georgia Press Association and the Associated Press.

A native of Auburn, Alabama, Childs has a B.A. in journalism from Auburn University.

"I'm really excited about this opportunity to work with the faculty here and publicize the important work they are doing," Childs said. "My job is to raise the level of regional and national appreciation and recognition of that work."

Childs, and his wife, Katie Anderson, have one son, Chris, age 18, who recently graduated from Clarke Central High School in Athens.

strengths of rural communities and capitalizing on those aspects. Pate says, "I had adopted Oglethorpe County Middle School. I did anything and everything I could to work with them, to help them, to strengthen the program. They are a wonderful bunch of people."

Her efforts took on a slightly more formal aspect when the school applied for and won funding from an Annenberg Rural Challenge Grant through the League of Professional Schools.

Three Themes

Work under the Annenberg grant focuses on three themes:

• County Resources - Under the leadership of eighth grade teacher Bill Pass, an interdisciplinary committee of students, teachers and administrators undertook an inventory of community resources of all types: physical, business, government and social. The Chamber of Commerce became involved, all middle school students in the county were surveyed, field trip excursions were conducted, and digital and print photographs were made. From these activities, a Directory of Oglethorpe County Resources will be developed in printed form and displayed on the school's web site. The directory will be updated each year.

• Folklore Project - Anne Gillis, 6th grade teacher, has led students and community residents in what is perhaps the most exciting aspect of the project—the collection and documentation of county folklore. Middle school students have interviewed elderly residents from the Senior Citizens Center, visited sites throughout the county and dug through county courthouse records. There have been storytelling events, dancing, performances by traditional musicians, and sharing of talents by several hundred middle school students, community elders and other citizens, teachers, university students and faculty. These activities have involved the full spectrum of educational, public and private groups and individual citizens in the county to create an ongoing dialogue across four and five generations of citizens. The county newspaper, the library, the Rotary Club, local artists and musicians, business, service, governmental and religious organizations all have become involved and supportive.

UGA faculty members Mary Ruth Moore and Arthur Rosenbaum and a number of their students from the Lamar Dodd School of Art, have entered into the folklore project. They are painting oil portraits of Oglethorpe County residents, preparing interpretive paintings of the county environment, and developing figure paintings of church choir members.

generosity in creating this chair and are especially pleased to have a person of Governor Miller's national stature as the first chair holder. We welcome his return to his alma mater and know his presence will have an important impact on campus and beyond."

College of Education Dean Russell Yeany said of the appointment, "Governor Miller has been the ultimate education governor. His support for education has led to changes in this state that will have a lasting impact on the people and the economy of Georgia well beyond his and our involvement in the educational enterprise. We have been very fortunate to have him as Governor and will continue to benefit from his insight in his new role as Distinguished Professor of Higher Education."

Philip Alston, a prominent Atlanta business and civic leader, was U.S. ambassador to Australia during the Carter administration and served on the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. He died in 1988.

At UGA, Miller will join the faculty of the Institute of Higher Education, established in 1964 as a service, instruction and research agency, and part of the College of Education. Miller is expected to be involved in teaching undergraduate and graduate students. He also will play a role in the creation of a new series of colloquia and roundtables planned by the institute to focus on significant issues in higher education, and is expected to take part in two ongoing institute activities: the Governor's Teaching Fellows Program and the Faculty Development in Georgia Program. Miller also will have an opportunity to pursue his research interests in Southern politics and history.

UGA Scores Near Top in National

Rankings of Public Universities

The University of Georgia is ranked 26th in U.S. News and World Report's 12th annual "America's Best Colleges" guidebook listing of the 50 best public national universities.

"This is just one more indication of UGA's rise in national prominence," said Michael F. Adams, president of the University of Georgia. "We are among some pretty distinguished company—in the top 50 in the nation. This, coupled with Kiplinger's magazine placing UGA at 20th, along with other recent rankings show a definite trend."

Kiplinger's magazine recently ranked the University of Georgia 20th in the nation for quality and low cost. Money Magazine's 1998 "Best College Buys" edition listed UGA as one of the nine "unbeatable deals" nationwide, largely due to the state's unique HOPE Scholarship program, which is funded by Georgia's lottery system. As a result, 97 percent of UGA's in-state freshmen attend the university tuition free.

The 1998 "America's Best Colleges" guidebook went on sale at newsstands on August 24th. All rankings and additional information are available online at http://www.usnews.com.

• Outside Learning Habitat - Joe Conti, 7th grade teacher, led development of The Haven, an outside learning habitat. Interested students, teachers, and community members developed plans, wrote curriculum, enlisted support, and began development of the site on school grounds, which was expanded by the school from one acre to three acres because of high interest. The U.S. Forestry Service and members of the forestry industry in the county are working with students on the project. One of the truly remarkable results of this phase of the project has been the development by the students of a 5x8 foot ceramic mural of the county, to be placed on a specially made granite slab donated by a county-based quarry.

Interdisciplinary Participation

An integral part of the Oglethorpe project is the high level of interdisciplinary activity. Aspects of the project involve the UGA College of Education Department of Elementary Education middle school program, where Elizabeth Pate is leading the overall project; faculty and students from the Lamar Dodd School of Art in the UGA College of Arts and Sciences; middle school teachers and students from all areas; middle school principal Steve Lennon; and county officials, a spectrum of private citizens, civic, business and religious organizations.

Related Awards, Funding and Presentations

Oglethorpe County Middle School students, teachers, and community members have presented at local, state, national and international meetings and conferences; written five funded grant proposals totaling over $100,000; and co-authored publications at the local, regional and national levels.

Service Learning Defined

The Oglethorpe project is an exemplary model of what is sometimes called Service Learning. Another term for it is Academic Community Learning. As described by the College of Education Academic Community Learning Task Force, service learning is an educational experience characterized by:

a. Active participation in an extended, thoughtfully organized learning experience that meets actual community and student needs;

b. Collaboration among student, school, and community;

c. Integration of community learning experiences into the student's academic curriculum;

d. Provision of structured time for reflection and evaluation; and

e. Enhancement of what is taught by extending student learning beyond the classroom and into the community.

The project centers on curriculum integration in which students, instructors and community members collaborate on what is to be learned, why it is important to be learned, how it is to be learned, and how it is to be assessed.

Outcomes and Implications

The implications of the Oglethorpe Folklore project may be widespread. This ongoing project has:

• Provided the opportunity for meaningful connections across departments and colleges of the University;

• Allowed genuine application of the concept of Service Learning;

Research Targets Teen Smoking

As a national debate continues on how to reduce adolescent tobacco use, a study being conducted by College of Education researchers this fall aims to provide important new information that will be used to develop a program to help teens kick the harmful habit.

The study, led by Laura McCormick, assistant professor in the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior, will survey 10th and 11th grade high school students in up to four school systems to provide information to be used in developing smoking cessation programs specifically for teenagers.

McCormick explains, "The project is important because there is little information available on effective strategies to help adolescents quit smoking. The few programs that are available are based on adult models and have not had encouraging results."

New smoking cessation programs for adolescents could make a difference in the 20 to 30 percent of teenagers who regularly smoke, are likely to become addicted, continue smoking into adulthood and suffer the health consequences associated with smoking. The study will assess the manner in which adolescent smokers maintain smoking behaviors and attempt to quit smoking.

Self-reports from 2,500 students in Georgia and Alabama will be collected anonymously and validated through the use of saliva samples collected and analyzed for cotinene from a subset of the study population at the time of the survey administration.

Based upon analysis of these data this winter and next spring, the research team will work with selected schools to develop and pilot-test smoking cessation interventions by Fall, 1999.

Funding for the study came from a five-year, $500,000 grant from the National Cancer Institute.

Creative Giving:

Portrait of a Philanthropist
There are many ways to be a philanthropist. We read and hear in the news about headline-making gifts of generosity in the million dollar and multimillion dollar ranges. The College of Education and the University have been the beneficiaries of such wonderful gifts. We welcome those and are thrilled when they happen. But not every donor is in a position to make large cash gifts today, or this year, or in the near future. Not many of us have the flexibility in giving as, say a Donald Trump or a Bill Gates. One need not be a millionaire to make gifts that make an impact on the programs we love. By being creative in our gift giving each of us can be a philanthropist.

For example, Curtis and Irene Ulmer, both retired from the University, wanted to establish a doctoral scholarship in Adult Education. They accomplished this not by writing a check, but by making a gift of stock. The type of gift they made is referred to as a life-income gift because during their lifetimes, they will continue to receive a stream of income from the asset they gave to the University. Some people like to think of this type of gift as "the gift that gives back"!

Another example is Thelma Dorsey, a retired school teacher. While Miss Dorsey is a loyal supporter of the

College with her annual gifts, she plans to make her largest gift through her estate. She has included the College in her will to establish a scholarship for non-traditional-age students. For some, giving through one's will provides the peace of mind that current and future financial needs will be met.

These are only two examples of ways one can make significant gifts using what may be considered unconventional means. There are others ways too. Some utilize real estate, life-insurance policies, annuities, or charitable trusts. These types of gifts are just as valuable and meaningful to our College, and in some cases, more meaningful and valuable to you in terms of your obligations today and your gifts for the future.

If you would like to know more about how to use some of these tools to make your charitable contribution to the College, information about tax advantages of deferred giving, or other questions about contributions to the College fund, please give me a call at (706) 542-2267 or e-mail me at rstevens@coe.uga.edu. Being a real philanthropist may be easier than you think.

• Met actual community and student needs through the democratic process;

• Facilitated collaboration among students, schools and the community;

• Extended student learning beyond the classroom and into the community; and

• Engaged professors in professional development.

Through participation in this project, lessons take on extra meaning. Students become teachers as they share their knowledge with peers through reflection on their academic learning in relationship to their project. They become researchers as they investigate the discipline of folklore and specific documentation techniques related to their academics. They become active participants in the community as they give back to the community in the form of their personal contribution to the documentation of folklore of Oglethorpe County.

A.C.T. Early continued from page 1

c|d

Four Athens-Clarke County elementary schools are collaborating in the project, with 49 teachers and 950 children participating from grades K-3.

Participating teachers say the project has given them tools they can use to deal with at-risk students more effectively.

"I thought about my class differently this year because of A.C.T. Early," said Karen Henkin, a first grade teacher at Whit Davis Elementary in Athens, the project's full experimental school with all aspects of the program implemented.

Project A.C.T. Early can help schools make changes in the school environment - it is a preventative approach, project leaders said.

Project A.C.T. Early uses:

• an alternative assessment method to help teachers conceptualize behavior problems and adaptive strengths in children,

• computer-assisted decision-making to help teachers solve problems in their schools and classrooms, and

• solutions rather than problem-focused consultation to focus on positive change.

"First, we are using behavioral assessment information in a new way to help teachers reconceptualize child problems and identify children in need of prevention/early intervention services. This new assessment methodology, dimensional assessment, is being compared and contrasted to the standard of practice," project leaders write on the program's website.

"Second, state-of-the-art problem solving computer technology is being used to assist teachers in problem identification and intervention planning. The computer-assisted technology, called GSS (Group System Support), networks teachers with information and other teachers to find solutions. Project faculty work collaboratively with schools to help teachers implement these solutions in the classroom," project leaders said in a presentation to the DOE in Washington, D.C., earlier this year.

"This solution-focused collaboration helps teachers concentrate on what works in the classroom, shifting the focus to what a child can do. It gives teachers a sense of control and empowers them to develop positive change strategies. It also presents an alternative to traditional problem-focused methods (test-diagnosis-pace) which often prove to be ineffective," they said.

First Year Discoveries

First-year discoveries in the project were enlightening:

• teachers often expect uniform behavior from children,

• they may see deviations from typical behavior as a problem,

• teachers try to make the child fit the practice, not vice versa,

• teachers indict the child, not schooling practices,

• problems are ineffectively managed in the classroom and referred out for services,

• teachers get little preservice training in behavior change,

• teachers are stuck in traditional service delivery models and ideas, and

• lack of knowledge/skills and inadequate service delivery models cause teacher stress.

Project leaders characterized the problems found in the first year as the Pre-Columbian idea - that the classroom is flat, behaviorally speaking.

Second Year Innovations

In the second year, project leaders promoted innovations that taught the classroom isn't flat, but a pyramid with three levels of behavior assessments: low, moderate and high risk.

Low risk students (55 percent):

• have good or excellent developmental skills,

• are well-suited to contemporary schooling and teacher training,

• have good predisposition toward schooling (comply, etc.),

• present normal developmental challenges to teachers, and

• may have transient developmental or behavioral problems and normative stressors.

Moderate risk students (31 percent):

• have slightly atypical behavioral development,

• present some goodness-of-fit problems with contemporary schooling and children's developmental needs, and

• present some challenges outside of teachers' repertoire.

High risk students (16 percent):

• have atypical development,

• may not have developmental prerequisites for contemporary schooling,

• present many behavioral/academic challenges for teachers, and

• require skills for adequately meeting their needs that are outside the repertoire of most classroom teachers.

Project A.C.T. Early is entering the third and final year of actual classroom application, with anticipation that the coming year will yield more exciting discoveries and bring elementary school teachers additional innovative tools for addressing behavioral problems in the classroom.
