The film investigates incidents of hunger, as experienced by millions of Americans, and proposes solutions to the problem. Filmmakers Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush focus on the lives of three people who wage a daily struggle against hunger, and speak with various experts about the possibility of ensuring that every American is well fed. Despite the fact that the nation has the means and resources to feed every hungry mouth, it’s estimated that one in four American children doesn’t get enough to eat. The film asks if we possess the capability to provide these starving children with a nutritious diet but fail to do so, what does that say about us as a society?

The event kicks off with a reception at 6 p.m. with refreshments provided by local restaurants Five & Ten, The National and Farm 255. The screening of the film will begin at 7:30 p.m. A panel discussion will follow. Panelists include Hugh Acheson (chef, author, restaurateur), Paula Farmer (Clarke County School District Nutrition Director), Spencer Frye (Georgia House Representative, District 118), and Erin Barger (Director, Action Ministries and Our Daily Bread Kitchen). Admission is $20, with the proceeds going to the Athens Farmer’s Market’s Double SNAP Program that doubles the “food stamp” benefits of low-income residents at the Athens Farmer’s Market.

The UGA students worked with community residents and businesses on the event as part of a Hunger in Our Schools, anew service-learning course focused on issues of food security as they relate to young people’s experiences in schools that was developed by Kathy Thompson, a clinical associate professor and Jennifer James, an associate professor, both in the UGA College of Education’s department of educational theory and practice.

Partial funding for this event came from a grant from the UGA Office of Service Learning.

Bass

Johnson

Two University of Georgia College of Education graduate students—Tobie Bass Trudeau and Lindy Johnson—received the 2013 Bulldog Vision Award for their work in creating an inaugural international conference in language literacy education.

Out of 692 student organizations on the UGA campus, one Bulldog Vision Award is given each year by the H. Gordon and Francis S. Davis Student Organization Achievement & Recognition (SOAR) Award program to a student or group that has demonstrated outstanding leadership and vision. The award recognizes a student or group that has helped their organization and community envision the future, identify paths to success, and implement their vision for the betterment of their organization and community.

Johnson, a third-year doctoral student from Provo, Utah, and Tobie Bass Trudeau, a second-year doctoral student from Columbus, both majoring in language and literacy education, were recognized for conceptualizing and creating the Journal of Language and Literacy Education (JoLLE)’s inaugural national conference last spring.

The pair focused the first JoLLE Conference on the theme of Activist Literacies. More than 120 people participated in the conference with presenters coming from Australia, Canada and across the United States. The conference was deliberately linked to community organizations and activists from outside the scholarly community, and included classroom teachers and K-12 students.

The two visionaries also collaborated to create the Spring issue of JoLLE. They reviewed submissions, designed and produced an online issue that represented and perpetuated the rich flow of ideas and interactions that happened during the 2013 JoLLE “Activist Literacies” Conference. The issue will be published in May and will feature three keynote speakers from the JoLLE Conference. It will also include reflections from practicing members of the local community and selected papers from the many breakout sessions at the conference.

Johnson taught high school English in Boston Public Schools before coming to UGA. Her research focuses on helping teachers integrate new media literacies into their classrooms. Currently, she serves as Principal Editor of JOLLE.

Trudeau served as co-conference chair at the JoLLE 2013 Spring Conference.

The award was presented at the group’s annual award dinner April 10.

Hamilton

The University of Georgia College of Education will host the Design, Implementation, and Analysis of Randomized Experiments in Education workshop series May 29-31 at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education.

This three-day workshop on the design, implementation and analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) is designed as an introductory session for people with an interest in trials, but with limited experience in undertaking them in educational settings. The goal is to increase the capacity of researchers to develop and conduct rigorous evaluations of the impact of education interventions.

The workshop will be interactive, with individual and small group assignments, and will include real-world examples from both the literature and the presenters own experience. It will provide intensive training on planning, implementing and analyzing data from an RCT. Participants will learn to describe the principles underlying randomized experiments and their advantages for making causal inferences and adequately describe the treatment and counterfactual, and measure implementation fidelity. Attendees will learn how to design an RCT, taking into account the practical limitation of the field, as well as the hierarchical structure of populations in education, and understand many of the common pitfalls in implementing RCTs in the field.

The instructor will be Jennifer Hamilton, senior study director at Westat, recognized as one of the foremost research and statistical survey organizations in the United States.

Hamilton more than 20 years of experience managing a variety of research studies in education. She specializes in evaluation methodology with a focus on experimental and quasi-experimental designs. She has designed and managed rigorous, high-stakes evaluations for clients that include the U.S. Department of Education, school districts, and city agencies such as the New York City Mayor’s Office. She is a certified What Works Clearinghouse reviewer, a peer reviewer for numerous journals, and a board member of the Eastern Evaluation Research Society.

Her chapter on program evaluation is forthcoming in a major textbook. In addition to her methodological expertise, Hamilton is adept at analyzing, interpreting and presenting complex data in ways that are understandable to a non-technical audience. Her analytical experience includes hierarchical linear modeling, logistic and multiple regression, and factor analysis, as well as complex modeling techniques such as structural equation modeling, including longitudinal analytic models. She graduated with a Ph.D. in measurement, statistics and evaluation from the University of Maryland, College Park.

The registration fee is $799 and includes workshop materials, refreshment breaks, lunch and parking passes each day. The registration deadline is Wednesday, May 15.  For more information or to register for these and other COE workshops, visit: www.coe.uga.edu/events/.

Vagle

The foundations of phenomenological research in education will be introduced to in a three-day workshop sponsored by the University of Georgia College of Education June 5-7 at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education.

The Introduction to Phenomenological Research will offer qualitative researchers, instructors of qualitative research methods and graduate students insights on the philosophical and methodological foundations of phenomenology, practice with the core methodological techniques commonly used in descriptive and interpretive phenomenological research and discussions about the presenter’s post-intentional phenomenology.

Mark Vagle, a former UGA College of Education professor, will be the instructor for the workshop. Vagle is currently an associate professor in the department of curriculum and instruction at the University of Minnesota. He uses what he calls post-intentional phenomenology to critically examine some of the broad philosophical and social concerns that take concrete shape in elementary education.

Formal learning systems try to create a community in which people have similar feelings, behaviors and understandings, and so, they mostly ignore students’ individual differences. Phenomenology focuses on an individual’s first-hand experiences rather than the abstract experience of others. It emphasizes explaining the meaning of things through an individual’s perspectives and self-experiences.

The application-oriented workshop is presented by the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research in Education and Human Development, based in the UGA College of Education.

Registration cost for this workshop is $625, which includes workshop materials, refreshment breaks, lunch and a parking pass each day. The registration deadline is May 22.

Two outstanding Georgia educational leaders—Philip D. Lanoue and Jack Parish—were recognized for their service to the field at the University of Georgia College of Education’s educational administration and policy program’s annual awards luncheon April 19 at River’s Crossing.

Parish, the associate dean for outreach and engagement in the college, received the nationally recognized Excellence in Educational Leadership Award from the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA) and Philip D. Lanoue, superintendent of the Clarke County School District (CCSD), received the Johnnye V. Cox Award from the UGA department of lifelong education, administration, and policy.

Parish

Jack Parish
Parish (Ed.D. ’99), who joined the UGA faculty in 2008, was recognized for his contributions to the preparation of educational leaders as a lecturer in the educational administration and policy program after a 30-year career in K-12 education as a teacher, assistant principal, principal, assistant personnel director, assistant superintendent and superintendent, mostly in Henry County. He began his career as a teacher at Riverdale High School in Clayton County.

Parish has been involved in a number of activities, assignments and tasks at UGA that have provided service to students, colleagues, the field of educational leadership and graduate education. He was named director of the Early Career Principal Residency Program in 2010.  He served as the executive director of the Georgia Association of Educational Leaders (GAEL), engaging with the state legislative body on behalf of school districts and educational leaders. He was named a clinical associate professor in 2012 and associate dean for outreach and engagement in 2013. Parish earned his doctorate in educational leadership from UGA in 1999.

The Excellence in Educational Leadership Award nationally recognizes school administrators  who have made significant contributions to the improvement of administrator preparation efforts. UCEA is a consortium of higher education institutions committed to advancing the preparation and practice of educational leaders for the benefit of schools and children.

Lanoue

Philip D. Lanoue
Lanoue, who has led the CCSD since 2009, was recognized for his contributions to educational supervision and leadership, and consistently bringing schools and districts to higher levels of academic achievement.

“During the past two years, the Clarke County School District under the leadership of Dr. Lanoue has been leading a learning revolution in the realm of leadership evaluation,” said UGA College of Education Professor Sally J. Zepeda. “Dr. Lanoue’s work is revolutionary as our state struggles with finding an evaluation system that can accurately reflect the real work of the principal and purposefully link their work to school improvement.”

The school district’s Leader Evaluation System provides a strong structure by which to monitor the progress of the system and its principals and assistant principals in an ongoing manner. The evaluation system, which reflects growth and is a development model, is flexible enough to be applied to leaders at all stages of their careers and is rigorous in its implementation.

Under his leadership, the Clarke County School District has been honored as a Title I Distinguished District for being Georgia’s top large district for closing the achievement gap between economically disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged students. In addition, all elementary schools, as well as Hilsman Middle and Clarke Middle, made 2011 Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), the state’s measure of achievement under No Child Left Behind. Both Cedar Shoals High School and Clarke Central High School are Advanced Placement (AP) Honor Schools for the state of Georgia. In addition, the 2011 graduation rate increased to 70.8 percent, an increase of 7.5 percent since 2009.

Lanoue was also instrumental in developing innovative partnerships including the revitalization of the Athens Community Career Academy. The Charter Program is a partnership between the school district, UGA, Athens Technical College and OneAthens. With a shifted focus on post-secondary education, Athens Tech faculty members were tapped to teach free college courses for school district students. He also worked closely with the UGA College of Education in forming one of the nation’s few Professional Development School Districts. Aspects of this partnership include university professors-in-residence — faculty who dedicate 50 percent of their time to a school or district location, college students taking courses on site and school district teachers and university faculty participating in continuous learning.

The Johnnye V. Cox award was named for the late retired College of Education professor who joined the UGA faculty in 1946 and developed the college’s program of supervision.  She was considered one of the preeminent early national trailblazers of the field.

Four doctoral students in the University Of Georgia College Of Education’s educational administration and policy program received scholarships and a fifth was recognized for his scholarly work at the program’s annual awards luncheon on April 19 at River’s Crossing.

Cole

Ray E. Bruce Academic Support Award
Jennifer Cole, an instructional coach at Winterville Elementary School in Clarke County, received the Ray E. Bruce Academic Support Award, which provides a $1,500 scholarship for a graduate student enrolled in the educational administration and policy program.

Cole, a second-year doctoral student, is a longtime educator who has received the Clarke County School District’s Foundation for Excellence Teacher of Excellence Award and held the Margaret and Raymond Ponsoldt Chair for Elementary School Teachers. She also led a team that received a CiviConnections Grant for Service Learning Projects funded by the Federal Corporation for National and Community Service and the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS).

As an instructional coach, Cole works closely with teachers and administrators to plan and implement professional learning linked directly to teachers’ needs. This led her to explore the relationship between data about teachers’ performance and their professional learning. She presented findings from this project at the NCSS annual conference in Washington D.C., and has presented other work at numerous local, state and national conferences.

After graduation, Cole plans to pursue school-based leadership positions that will allow her to continue her work in instructional supervision as a means to inform and support teacher growth that promotes student success.

Patel

David J. Mullen Scholarship
Heena Patel and Bradley Bowling both received David J. Mullen Scholarships. The $1,500 nonrenewable scholarship provides assistance to doctoral candidates preparing for a public school position in the educational administration, and policy program.

A native of Athens, Patel is en route to becoming a “Triple Dawg.” She earned a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and a master’s degree in educational administration and policy at UGA. Currently in her fifth year of teaching in Gwinnett County Public Schools, Patel strives to create meaningful and engaging lessons for her first graders each day.

Patel’s dissertation focuses on the charter school phenomenon occurring in Georgia. The purpose of her study is to investigate and identify the factors why many conversion charter schools revert back to traditional public school models. It also explores what the consequences may be when conversion charter schools “unconvert.” The intent of her study is to help Georgia policymakers clarify why the charter option is rarely sustainable for many public schools.

As she now focuses on completing her doctorate in educational leadership, she hopes to use this educational foundation to improve the learning experiences of not only her first grade class, but someday, classrooms throughout a school or district.

Bowling

Bowling, a veteran educator of 11 years, currently serves as an assistant principal at W.R. Coile Middle School in Athens and is pursuing his Ed.D. in educational leadership at UGA.

Bowling, who earned a B.S. degree in psychology and an L-5 leadership certification from UGA, in addition to a M.Ed. in interrelated special education from North Georgia College and State University, studies interventions aimed at decreasing the dropout rate for low-socioeconomic African-American and Hispanic adolescent males.

During his career in the classroom, Bowling has worked with students with disabilities and created innovative programs and pedagogies in partnership with the community in an effort to provide young people with the skills, instruction and determination to live independently. A former coach, Bowling created and owns Bible, Basketball, Faith, and Football Camps through which he shares character virtues learned through sports but applicable to life with thousands of elementary age children He serves on the board of the North Georgia/North Coast Honduras Mission, through which he initiated a program to bring sports equipment and recreation programs to the children and youth of Honduras. He has and continues to inspire youth to refrain from drugs and gang violence, and encourages them to help their community as servant leaders in the face of poverty.

Bowling was appointed to the Athens Area Mental Health, Substance Abuse, and Developmental Disabilities Board by Athens-Clarke County Mayor Nancy Denson and the Clarke County Commissioners in December, 2012. He also serves on the Athens First United Methodist Church Council.

Finklin

Carroll Wade McGuffey Scholarship
Rejer A. Finklin received the Carroll Wade McGuffey Scholarship. This $1,500 scholarship supports students whose studies include research into school organizations’ impact on teacher behavior, pupil behavior and/or pupil learning.

Finklin began her career in education as a secondary social studies teacher in Washington, Ga.  During this time, she developed an interest in the professional and social experiences of teachers of color working in rural settings. She also became interested in school leadership and the role it plays in recruiting and retaining teachers—specifically, how effective school leadership can alleviate teacher isolation and attrition rates for minority teachers in rural schools.

As part of her doctoral studies, Finklin has worked with her advising professor, April Peters-Hawkins, examining the role of the principalship in the shaping of school culture. Finklin’s dissertation will focus on the professional and social experiences of teachers of color that opt to leave rural teaching assignments for suburban and urban assignments. She has also completed requirements for the Certificate in Interdisciplinary Qualitative Studies with an interest in interview methodologies and case study.

Upon completion of her degree, Finklin hopes to pursue a post-doctorate opportunity and then enter an academic position where she can continue her research into the lives of teachers of color and rural education.
