Gladly We Learn and Teach

As you read through these pages, please take note of how creative and intelligent individuals harness the technology and tools of their trade to push forward our wisdom and pedagogy. Our programs and initiatives in the College of Education center on expanding the oppor-tunities for our students and faculty to reach beyond what is current, to point the way to what needs to happen next. As we continue to strive to prepare educators who epitomize the essence of “Realizing the Democratic Ideal,”

please realize how my colleagues are continuing to demon-strate how the value of an Illinois State University educa-tion not only enhances the life and career of our graduates, but makes a significant contribution to our profession at large. I hope you enjoy this publication as I have.

Dean Deborah J. Curtis

It is my pleasure to introduce you to the latest issue of the Statewide Standard. I am confident readers will

be intrigued by the futuristic look we are taking on the evolution of education. In reality though, I believe you will find that the future is already here, alive and well, in the work of the College of Education at Illinois State University. Within these pages, you will read about how our faculty and staff are establishing a vision for teacher and school leader education that no longer is limited to the four walls of a brick and mortar classroom.

My colleagues in the COE and laboratory schools are taking a leap into the future with a sound realization that the students we teach today expect no less from us. The features you will read in this issue describe an educational environment where students are learning, socializing, and communicating in the “cloud” (internet). The educators you will read about are boldly engaging these digital natives in their own familiar surroundings. These educators are taking up the enviable task of facilitating the transmission of information, the cultivation of understandings, the

revelation of perceptions, and the exchange of cultural ideas in a way that will prepare these students for a future that none of us can imagine. These are students who hear a question and all of a sudden they’re clicking away and boom—there is the information, and they are talking about what they have discovered and what it means. The educators in these classrooms are thriving in this lively environment with such an incredibly imaginative style of teaching that one cannot help but get caught up in the excitement of it all.

A pencil sharpener is mounted to the wall of the calculus classroom, but there are no shavings falling

to the tile floor.Instead, soft tapping is heard as students touch a stylus

to a slate-shaped tablet PC, occasionally looking up to see the graphing problem Kevin Thompson projected over-head.

Four years ago, the University High School math teacher was working on a tablet in his classroom when he started to wonder why students couldn’t have the same technology. Now they do, along with 14 other classrooms at Illinois State University where laptops are stored in corner cabinets like scissors and rubber cement were years ago.

U-High started a “laptop initiative” in 2006 and at the end of that first year, student and parent surveys yielded a surprising result—they thought the teachers were using them too much. One student didn’t like the idea of post-ing to a discussion board when she could have a face-to-face conversation with the person sitting in front of her.

Teachers were relying too much on the technology because they thought if they had it, they’d better use it,

said Jim Kurz, U-High’s technology coordinator. To help them find balance, the school offered professional devel-opment.

“What we encouraged them to do was continue with all of the good activities they were doing before the tech-nology and use it to enhance those activities,” he said. “Now they’re working on developing the richness of the lessons.”

Fifteen out of 25 classrooms have access to computers all of the time, and teachers are using wikis, blogs, discus-sion boards, and other Web 2.0 tools.

“They can use every tool under the sun and they do,” Kurz said. “That’s what’s fun to see now. You can let the teacher use their own creativity to set up lessons that fit their teaching style.”

Senior Ashlee Sang, who is taking four laptop classes, said it was initially a little awkward for students too, because they weren’t used to learning on laptops.

“Now it saves time,” she said. “We can type a paper and do research at the same time. It’s the way of the future. Eventually technology is going to penetrate all the academic areas. Jump in. It’s better than resisting.”

Keeping students on task was more of an issue the first year. As teachers became better at structuring les-

sons, students were less likely to wander off to other Web sites, Kurz said. The Classroom Spy program also helped. Teachers can pull up a student’s screen at any time, which also allows them to share good work with the rest of the class.

U-High decided to purchase classroom laptops rather than asking students to bring their own because of the cost, compatibility, and reliability issues, along with the fact that students might not remember to bring them to school every day.

“What sabotages technology use in a lot of schools is it’s not reliable,” Kurz said. “If one or two computers aren’t working or the software isn’t right or somebody has a virus, the lesson collapses because the teacher sud-denly has to deal with that student or he drifts into the Netherlands or bothers a neighbor and it really shatters your classroom.”

“I really like the way we did our initiative because the teacher has reliable resources and they’re able to build all kinds of incredibly rich lessons that better engage stu-dents. When you better engage students, they’re going to learn more.”

Kathy Clesson has been teaching more than 30 years at U-High and is so energized by the new technology that sometimes she calls an equally enthusiastic colleague when she gets home at night just to compare notes. She isn’t afraid to ask her students for help building a lesson around technology.

“This technology really helps fuel enthusiasm,” she said. “I come up with the ideas and they take them so much farther than I could have imagined. It frees the teacher from having to be the know-all of everything. As we’re wading into this, I’m always asking them, ‘What do you think of this? How did this work?’”

In her classroom, desks are arranged in pods of four, with one pod in the center of the classroom and the oth-ers lining the walls. While she’s grading a face-to-face book discussion in the inner circle, the outer circle clicks away, commenting in a chat room. Their postings are archived and graded later.

“Instead of having a couple of students doing a book discussion, you have 25 doing it,” she said. “That’s a level

of engagement you don’t typically get in a classroom. Online is a much more natural domain for them.”

Students tell her they like posting because it gives them an opportunity to express opinions they may not have been able to in the live discussion. Using technology turns topics that may be a little dry, like Arthurian legend, into something more fun when they create podcasts, even composing medieval music to go along with them.

Some school districts have such a strict ban on technol-ogy that faculty can’t carry a laptop. Clesson can’t under-stand that, but agrees liberal use requires oversight.

“You have to be alert and see where students are, but to block it; you’re blocking a lot of opportunities for rich information and collaboration. It’s a way for them to con-nect their life outside of school with school. What a weird disconnect it would be if we said, ‘No cell phones, no iTouch, check everything into your locker and go get that dusty book.’”

Her advice for teachers who are just wading into tech-nology?

“You shouldn’t be any more afraid of it than a library. You are throwing the windows open to the world.”

What helps is having a technology coordinator who can relate to you, whether you’re an English, math, or his-tory teacher, she added. Math teacher Thompson agreed, saying Kurz has been there to support him. Right now that means offering AP calculus as a podcast through iTunes.

When Thompson asked his students if they wanted to be able to review lessons as a podcast, they were excited about it. Now they can click through it on their iPods. And since class notes are archived on their computers, they can access them at any time, an improvement over trying to find them in a messy binder or locker.

As abstract as math can be, technology helps them make the connections, he said, turning his laptop to show a colorful ferris wheel students used to solve a problem.

Webtooldefinitions

Web 2.0: This refers to the second generation of Web

development and design that facilitates communication,

information sharing, and collaboration. This new era of

the Web allows wide participation in the creation of Web

content, rather than merely the consumption of content.

Web 2.0 has led to social networking sites, video sharing,

wikis, and blogs.

TeacherTube: TeacherTube, a take-off of YouTube,

contains educational resources for teachers, as well as

preservice teachers and students.

Authorstream: Authorstream enables uploaded

PowerPoint files with sound to be viewed via the Internet.

Voicethread: VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia

slide show tool that holds images, documents, and videos.

Ning: Ning is a unique online platform that allows you to

create your own social networks with customized visual

settings.

Skype: A service that allows you to make free phone calls

over the Internet to other Skype members. The tool also

allows for file transfer, video conferencing, and instant

messaging.

Microblogging: Microblogging tools, such as Twitter,

are forms of blogging in which you write and publish

short texts called “microposts” for a private group of

subscribers or the Web.

Social bookmarking: An online tool that allows you to

access your bookmarks and favorite Web sites from any

computer.

Wikis: Wikis, such as Wikipedia, are collections of Web

pages that allow you to add or modify content. These are

excellent tools for enabling collaborative work.

“The instructors that are effectively embedding tech-nology are doing so because they have chosen technology to fit the pedagogy,” she said. “Initially, as we’re playing with technology we might force it in some ways. I know I have been guilty of that when I’m trying to figure out how a tool fits.”

Fitting the technology to curriculum isn’t accomplished overnight, but Toledo believes the college is improving every day.

“I really believe we’re getting toward a tipping point, and I think a lot of that has to do with people becoming more comfortable with different types of technologies and beginning to see application use,” she said.

PopularclassroomWebtools

While there is a variety of tools available, Toledo pegs the following as the emerging technologies of education: presentation tools; social networking tools; simulation tools; and robotics. All of these categories are part of Web 2.0, which refers to the next generation of the Web, and includes the interactivity of reading and writing. Presentation tools allow instructors to teach through the

Web. The service is provided through programs such as YouTube and AuthorSTREAM.

Social networking tools include Facebook and Ning, an educational online space that looks a lot like other social networking sources. Delicious and diggo are social bookmarking tools that allow users to collaborate by tag-ging and sharing Web sites.

Although simulation programs have been popularly known for flight training, their application to other fields is expanding. Robotics got their start in classrooms through Lego, and today K-12 schools have teams com-peting in national tournaments.

Microblogging allows users to write and publish short messages to private groups of people or for all Web users.

Some of the ways Toledo and her colleagues have used these tools include: publishing a Google peer review form to track collaboration; using a program called VoiceThread to communicate directly with students when face-to-face meetings aren’t an option; wikis for students to work together when their availability doesn’t overlap; and Skype so she can stay in regular contact with distance learning students and colleagues worldwide.

She finds there is still a misconception that professors believe a “digital gap” inhibits their ability and/or respon-sibility to connect those just starting out in education with technologies that could boost their curriculum.

“Preservice and beginning teachers use technology just like professors do, for personal use,” she said. “But when it comes to applying the technologies to an educational setting, optimizing the tools for educational purposes, engaging learners through its use, and increasing the levels of learning, they don’t know how to do that.”

Comfortzonesandavatars

One of Toledo’s primary goals is to provide her students with the ability to update their skills throughout their careers, whether they remain in the education field or not.

“All of these skills are not content-based, but they are transferable to other jobs,” she said. “We do not know what the learning environment will look like in the mid-dle of their careers, so if we are not teaching them how to be adaptable, we are really doing them a disservice.”

And teachers certainly need to be adaptable in K-12 classrooms, she said, with technologies arriving there before universities. That provides additional motivation for Toledo and her colleagues.

“The challenge is good. It pushes us to move out of our comfort zone and start looking at what is being done effectively in K-12 because we need to be preparing our teachers for those environments.”

Linda Wedwick, an assistant professor of reading and literacy, has seen her students rise to the challenge of developing digital literacy for elementary students.

An elevator ride is often more than idle chat for Cheri Toledo.

Whether she’s between floors, at a campus hangout or in her office, the associate professor finds herself answer-ing technology questions. Colleagues seek her out for answers on how to use technology in the classroom.

That’s because Toledo specializes in educational tech-nology and distance learning, and is well-known in the field for helping instructors figure out whether online presentations tools, microblogging, social networking, or other technologies will work best in their classroom. And what are all these available tools?

Toledo knows.“I have never seen so many faculty members actively

seeking out new technologies in the classroom,” she said. “I probably get two to three people a day coming up to me asking questions like, “How do you use VoiceThread” or “What was that other technology you were last talking about?”

On these short elevator journeys, solutions are often found and when the metal doors open, Toledo’s col-leagues have often arrived at more than a physical destina-tion—they’ve discovered a new route for content delivery.

In her seven years at Illinois State, Toledo has been front and center in witnessing and participating in the success and growing pains of technology development within the College of Education. Yet, she believes these challenges are easily hurdled as professors embrace their own learning curves.

“You get comments like, ‘I never realized math had a purpose.’ They’re surprised math has a real world connec-tion. To me it’s obvious, to them it’s not.”

But Thompson gives them a dose of classic instruction too.

“I can’t really turn students loose in AP calculus,” he said, smiling.

His advice for teachers who don’t know where to begin is, “Start somewhere, even if it’s one computer.”

Retooling teacher education

The next step for U-High is offering hybrid classes, which meet in the classroom and online, freeing the stu-dent from five days a week in the classroom. Kurz can’t imagine trying to block technology.

“We have kids carrying netbooks and laptops. There are so many tools now and so much they can do on their phones. Their brains are literally wired differently and having an open technology policy here helps. We don’t limit what our kids can do.”

their voices. The avatar reads back the children’s words and allows them to rerecord the audio until they are satis-fied with the quality.

“The idea is to get students invested in their avatar character so they will want it to look and sound great,” said Wedwick. “As a result, students will be motivated to work and practice the readings over and over.”

Adopting the tools of the ever-changing field of technology has been a task long in the making for edu-cators, from chalkboards to calculators to Web 2.0. In K-12 and higher education classrooms, the tools of digital technology enhance teacher-student communication. The next step, Toledo believes, is for technology to become as common for educators as a computer is to a baby boomer or a cell phone to a Gen X’er. The change might not be lightning quick, but it will be progressive.

“In an age in which we are bombarded with informa-tion, we can’t teach the way we used to teach,” she said.

On September 17, 2008, the Center for Reading and Literacy on the third floor of DeGarmo Hall at

Illinois State University was dedicated and named as the Mary and Jean Borg Center for Reading and Literacy. The Illinois State University Board of Trustees had approved the official naming at its May 2008 meeting. The program for the dedication included comments by President Al Bowman, Dean Deborah Curtis, and Joy Hutchcraft, representing University Advancement. Linda Wedwick, director of the Mary and Jean Borg Center for Reading and Literacy spoke appreciatively on behalf of the faculty and students. Bowman presented the dedica-tion plaque, which is permanently displayed at the Borg Center, to Jean Borg. Remarks were also made by Jean and her friend and advisor Rick Sabbides.

The naming provides all that enter the Borg Center with a reminder of several important values that the Borgs share with Illinois State. “It is a tribute to Jean and those who instilled in her this great love of learning and helping others to learn, that today we come together to renew this dedication to assure a great public educa-tion for all through the work of the Mary and Jean Borg Center for Reading and Literacy,” said Curtis, adding that “It is Jean’s commitment to making sure the fundamental foundation of reading is augmented in the foundation of our teachers.”

Jean Borg, a 1950 graduate of Illinois State Normal University, attended ISNU on her mother’s wishes, and eventually became a reading teacher, mentor, and scholar. Jean retired in 1993 and has since focused her efforts on giving back to the place that helped her reach her goals.

“I selected Illinois State because it has meant so much to me in the past,” Jean Borg explained during her address at the dedication ceremony. “It was really my home. I loved it here. It was very small at the time, I really felt pretty much at home. I really am so happy to have come here because they did make me a teacher. I reached my goal.”

It was Mary Borg, Jean’s mother, who pushed her to become a teacher, and especially to attend Illinois State. It was also Mary Borg who inspired Jean to give back to the University that provided her with a base for a career that lasted over 40 years.

After Jean retired, she met her financial advisor and now long time friend Rick Sabbides. During a meeting in 1993, Sabbides asked the question, “Is there something

inside you that is really bothering you or you’re concerned with? Or is there something you could do if you could do anything?” Sabbides recalled asking Jean during their meeting. “She broke down crying.”

The thoughts of her mother, who was also her best friend, overwhelmed Jean. The two came up with the idea of providing educational funds for young people who

might not otherwise be able to afford it to honor Mary. The two started by setting up scholarship funds. In the 15 years since that meeting, the gifts they have been able to secure have increased in size by 150 percent.

“There’s probably no other client I’ve had in 34 years who is more giving than Jean Borg,” Sabbides said as he addressed the crowd at the dedication. “Most of you don’t have to hear that because you know that.”

Because of the exponential increase in the size of the gifts Jean has set up, she will now be giving much more than financial aid.

“You are giving the most precious gift of all, the gift of reading,” Bowman said during the dedication. “Your generosity will help future teachers provide services to students and educators, support the tutoring programs, enhance the center’s lecture series, grant access to profes-sional development, connect students to research opportu-nities, and promote in-service training.”

The ceremony was a tremendous reminder of just how giving a person Jean Borg is.

The names on the pristine glass door at the entrance of the Mary and Jean Borg Center for Reading and Literacy will act as a permanent reminder to all who spend time in the center.

Implemented just after the turn of the 21st century, the electronic student portfolio project has become an invalu-able tool for teacher candidates and faculty.

“The program allows students to chronicle and repre-sent artifacts of their accomplishments and scholarship at Illinois State,” said Melissa Christofero, e-portfolio spe-cialist in the Cecilia J. Lauby Teacher Education Center. Teachers are also able to send feedback and grades to stu-dents in real time through the secure network.

The portfolios, through LiveText technology, are also a large part of Illinois State’s National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) accreditation.

“Our e-portfolio system allows us to collect data and understand learning outcomes,” said Christofero. “This tool raises the bar because it allows us to share and com-bine data and, in turn, benchmark where we are with other universities.”

The electronic student portfolio project has expanded in the past year thanks to an anonymous donation. The funds have facilitated the expansion of a new laboratory with 22 computers, Polycom conferencing technology, and a state-of-the-art space to support students and professors. The lab, located within the Lauby Teacher Education Center, is the setting for training sessions that impart fundamen-

tal and advanced knowledge of the e-portfolio program. Training sessions are conducted several times a day. Walk-in hours are also provided.

Through individual online portfolios, students are able to present an interactive resume that tells the story of their own teacher education. This includes a digital video dem-onstration of their work in the classroom.

“Students are able to go into an interview and say ‘Here is one of my lesson plans, here is why I did it, and, most importantly, here’s how I executed it,” said Christofero.

Christofero acknowledges that, despite the value of the portfolio, most principals are not aware of the potential advantages of this tool to the process of selecting quality teachers for their schools.

Starting next year, Christofero plans to educate princi-pals in the community about the tool by bringing admin-istrators into the lab and demonstrating the e-portfolio applications. Christofero wants to ensure that principals understand how the electronic portfolio improves the quality of the teacher candidates coming out of Illinois State. This adds value to the education provided to the future students of these teacher candidates. Christofero has trips planned for presentations at several schools in the summer and fall of 2009. She and her colleagues have also created a Web site dedicated to the electronic student portfolio project, simultaneously improving access to, and increasing visibility of, the work being done.

When Christofero visits classrooms or provides a train-ing session for students, she always helps students concep-tualize how important the tool is for their future as work-ing professionals.

“One out of every eight educators in the state of Illinois is an ISU alum—the people in this room are in essence, your competition,” said Christofero. “What are you going to do to put your best foot forward? What are you going to do to maintain it?”

Maximizing the benefits of an e-portfolio system

“Working with students on a day-to-day basis, we see their improvement—they are getting from point A to point B,” said Lamboley. “But if the student still falls below the standards set forth by the current legislation, No Child Left Behind (NCLB), their scores must also be included.” So, the individualized progress of that student is not favorably “measured” because NCLB still says they are underperforming.

Lamboley believes that the current legislation does not legitimately evaluate all students.

This is especially true in large, diverse schools like Kingsley (1,053 middle-level students) where you have a number of new English language learners, students with economic disadvantages, and students with disabilities. However, meeting the needs of these learners often requires the utilization of technology, such as blogging and clickers.

“Technology has changed how a teacher instructs insofar as he or she is better able to meet the individual needs of the 25–30 kids in a class-room,” said Lamboley. “Each student is different, and if you can use technology, you can use previously unavailable ways to monitor where your kids are at—where they are achieving or where they are not achieving.”

As an example, Lamboley commented that clickers allow teachers to instantaneously evaluate students’ retention of content the next day by displaying questions on the smart-board.”

Lamboley finds that the more teachers understand these uses, the more apt they are to embrace other applica-tions of the smartboard and other technologies in general.

Moving forward, Lamboley says that he will continue his doctorate and superintendent certificate. Of his experience at Illinois State and his current faculty mentors/instructors, Lamboley reflects on their influence, “I don’t know if I would have the mindset or focus or desire had it not been for the superintendent program.”

A year after Marygrace Kenna and Michael Surma met while hanging out at the Red Door in the old Student Union building, they married over a three-day break between semesters in January.

But the honeymoon has lasted 37 years.The alums married when they were seniors. Marygrace

received her bachelor’s degree in special education in June 1972 and Michael received his bach-elor’s in biology the following January.

When Marygrace started teaching at LeRoy High School, she was the first special education teacher to work with students identified as learning disabled/behaviorally disordered or social-ly maladjusted. Those areas were fairly new for school systems.

It was a challenge for a first-year teacher to set up a classroom and curriculum for a brand new program. The other teachers were unfamiliar with the needs of LD/BD students. Marygrace helped them learn how to help her students.

The next year, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act was signed into law, an effort to make sure all children with disabilities have a free, appropriate public education designed to meet their needs. The new teacher learned to develop an Individualized Education Program for her students.

Michael was in a completely different environment, starting his career as a biology teacher at University High School and working Saturdays instructing junior zoo-keepers at Miller Park Zoo. During summer school, he took U-High students on adventure trips, sailing in New England and white-water rafting and hiking in Colorado. He and a colleague taught a one-week course called Illinois Illustrated, driving from one end of the state to the other, teaching students about the ecology and history of Illinois.

Marygrace moved on to Bloomington High School, where she could share experiences with other special edu-cation teachers. She and Michael completed their master’s in educational administration at Illinois State in 1978.

Michael enjoyed the learning environment at U-High and collaborating with College of Education professors. Doing research during a normal school day was quite an achievement for a young teacher. He received the State of Illinois Master Teacher Award and a few years later became director of the University Laboratory Schools. He completed the Illinois State University Education Policy

Fellowship Program and received honors from the Illinois State Board of Education in the Those Who Excel pro-gram, not only in the administrator category, but also in the teacher category.

In 1980, Marygrace accepted a position at Illinois State as coordinator for prestudent teaching. She started work-

ing on a computerized system for keep-ing track of the state-required clinical experiences. The computerization of the record-keeping process was a major accomplishment for her and she came to appreciate the possibilities of tech-nology.

She was offered a newly created posi-tion as technology coordinator for the College of Education. It was the mid 80s and a small number of personal computers were starting to appear in University department offices; only a few faculty members were using computers. She realized that faculty and staff needed to get up-to-speed

on technology. She conducted computer workshops, wrote training manuals, and provided techni-cal assistance. She wrote and distributed the college’s first “Handbook of Computing and Information Technology Resources.”

Additional computer labs were developed and a large grant from IBM infused technology into the classroom. A faculty multimedia development lab opened. During the 10-year period she coordinated the program, the use of technology at the University grew tremendously. Personal computers became a necessity and were everywhere.

The couple relocated to Georgia in the mid 90s. At the present time, Marygrace is with Clayton State University in Georgia, where she serves as the program coordinator for teacher education. Michael is superintendent of the Henry County School System in suburban Atlanta.

As a current doctoral candidate in the EAF superinten-dent program and the assistant principal of Kingsley Junior High School in Normal, Dan Lamboley has a clear plan for his own professional development, “I want to be a leader that has a vision and focus for curriculum assess-ment instruction and how that relates to staff develop-ment.”

Part of Lamboley’s confidence comes by way of his classroom experience as a high school social studies teacher and his participation in the Wallace School Administration Management (SAM) Project. The purpose of the Wallace SAM Project is to improve the administrative potential of school principals by training them to focus priorities on learning goals for students. Lamboley is part of Kingsley Principal Lynette Mehall’s in-staff leadership team. The team meets with Mehall daily to discuss the principal’s schedule and learning goals for students. Lamboley has also taken over some of the managerial duties Mehall sacrificed in order to spend more time evaluating classrooms.

“(the Wallace-Sam project) allows me to support her in being an instructional leader for our building,” said Lamboley. “I think quite often as an associate or assistant principal we need to take seriously the way we are assisting and supporting the building principal so that they can be an instructional leader.”

Lamboley also passes his experiences onto EAF mas-ter’s students, who he accepts in his building as interns.

As a former student in the same master’s program, Lamboley said, “I do my best to try and give them quality experiences that relate directly to school administration.” In addition, Lamboley works to alleviate the doubts of students he sees as capable future administrators.

“Students sometimes tell me ‘I don’t know if I’m ready,’” said Lamboley. “I tell them that I don’t know if anyone is ever going to be 100 percent ready for what administration entails.”

Lamboley lauds his district (McLean County Unit District No. 5) for putting in place a yearlong mentorship program for first-year teachers and administrators.

“We have seen (the mentorship program) pay huge dividends for new teachers,” said Lamboley. “It is impor-tant for teachers to communicate with someone who is nonthreatening.” This allows the new staff person the opportunity for individualized assessment and focused development.

President Obama’s education plan includes additional opportunities for individualized assessment of student achievement.

The programs have, among other results, created a new pathway for parents, community members, and paraprofessionals to earn a bachelor’s degree and teaching certificates and return to teach in their own communities. This unique partnership for urban teacher recruitment,

preparation, and training was made possible with key fed-eral (U.S. Department of Education and National Science Foundation), state (Illinois Board of Higher Education and Illinois State Board of Education), city (Chicago Public Schools), and corporate (State Farm Insurance Co. Foundation) grant support.

TeacherpipelinebenefitsfromPARTNERproject

The Professional Articulation for Recruiting/Retaining Teachers for Neighborhood Engagement and Renewal (PARTNER) project recruits high school students from the Chicago area to attend Illinois State University to study teacher education and return home to teach. Prior to 2006, only 100 of Illinois State University’s 1,200 gradu-ates were taking jobs in Chicago Public Schools annually. The PARTNER project, funded by a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education, was created to

Frontier conditions provide opportunity for both promise and challenge. The promise of the nineteenth

century American frontier was manifest destiny as the West was settled by land hungry Euroamericans; the chal-lenge was the lack of inclusiveness as Amerindians were severely marginalized. For twentieth century American society the frontier was, as W.E.B. Du Bois powerfully opined in the Souls of Black Folk, the “problem of race.” President Obama’s election is tangible promise from the crucible of that twentieth century frontier challenge that we still grapple with today. The new frontier of the twen-ty first century is the increasing ethno-linguistic diversity of the American nation-state in the face of globalization and immigration. Our challenge is to create institutions that accommodate and celebrate our great diversity with-out succumbing to the nineteenth and twentieth century assimilationist dogma that marginalized the “other.”

The College of Education’s conceptual framework, “Realizing the Democratic Ideal,” serves as a compass in advancing the work of preparing educators and school leaders. The college has made significant accomplish-ments with the Chicago Teacher Education Pipeline (Little Village and Chicago Public Schools) in teacher recruitment, preparation, and retention. This work is funded by a Teacher Quality Enhancement grant from the U.S. Department of Education, a Robert Noyce National Science Foundation grant, and the State Farm Foundation. This multi-year, multi-million-dollar effort (with the third-largest Latino community in the United States and the third largest school district nationally) focuses on underserved populations in high-need areas.

The college continues to advance in other areas of teacher education and school leadership. The Center

for the Study of Education Policy at Illinois State is recognized for its work on the Illinois State Action for Education Leadership Project (IL-SAELP), funded by the Wallace Foundation. Through funding from the Lumina Foundation, faculty in the Department of Educational Administration and Foundations are studying the issue of increasing public tuition and access to higher education. This issue is influenced by a changing national demo-graphic which has more first-generation, English language learner college students.

The college has demonstrated success in five high-need areas: 1) bilingual education; 2) special populations, such as autism, deaf education, and assistive technology; 3) the subject areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM); 4) transition to teaching popula-tions; and 5) teacher quality partnerships.

Four math and science partnership grants of $1 mil-lion each will enable practicing Illinois teachers to earn graduate degrees with a STEM emphasis over a two-year period. STEM work presently has great potential also for international reach. The college presently collaborates with Hokkaido University of Education and the Japanese Ministry of Education on K-12 science education and professional development. This summer the college will host its third month-long, in-service institute for Korean science educators at Illinois State (funded by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education). STEM collaboration was evident at the Second Pacific Rim Conference hosted by Illinois State last October. The college envisions inte-grating and strengthening a STEM education emphasis with our partners in Chicago and other urban centers in Illinois.

Chicago Teacher Education Pipeline finds home and heart for Little Village schools

By Robert Lee

Home is where the heart is, and near home is where many future educators want to teach. As Hovey suggested over 150 years ago, Illinois State continues to “grow our own” here in Central Illinois. More recently, Illinois State has applied the “grow your own” concept to our teacher recruitment work benefitting the high-need schools in

Chicago’s Little Village community. Through the Chicago Teacher Education Pipeline Programs and Partnerships (Pipeline Program), new initiatives have recruited more underrepresented students to Illinois State University’s campus, changed the urban teacher preparation culture in teacher education programs, diversified classroom clinical experiences and fieldwork for current students, and devel-

teachers be had at home?

obtain community support for teacher education, link recruitment and support services, and develop a tracking system to follow participants through postsecondary edu-cation and beyond. The Pipeline Program developed pro-gramming for high school and first-year college students, teacher candidates, and University faculty to help create change for community schools in Little Village.

profession and practice teaching and tutoring in elemen-tary schools in their own community. TEACH also helps prospective high school students prepare for college through application workshops, financial aid seminars, scholarship resources, visits to the Illinois State University campus, and ACT prep courses.

TEACH has a six-week college prep summer internship program that offers the opportunity for high school students to spend two weeks developing teaching skills and lesson plans, three weeks with a veteran teacher at a Chicago public school gaining hands-on classroom experience, followed by another week of teaching their lessons and completing a teaching portfolio.

The TEACH program has had a significant effect on high school students’ declaration of teaching intentions; TEACH participants were significantly more invested in becoming a teacher than students not involved in TEACH.

First-year college student

The Chrysalis Gateway program was created in partner-ship with Illinois State University’s Office of Enrollment Management. It helps underrepresented, first-generation college students that have been newly admitted to Illinois State University make the transition to college life. The program provides academic, social, and cultural program-ming over three weeks during the summer. The support continues and is reinforced by peer mentoring, faculty mentoring, and enrollment in a skills-based course on college success strategies and behaviors.

Teacher candidates

Urban Needs in Teacher Education (UNITE) is a student-led organization that educates teacher candidates about the needs of urban schools and provides support and encouragement for students to explore communities and school culture. The organization has helped to dimin-ish the fears of teacher candidates about urban communi-ties and schools, allowing them to consider Chicago as a viable option for their clinical experiences, student teach-ing, and/or teaching careers.

Supporting future teacher candidates to consider teaching opportunities in urban schools has become a university-wide initiative. In 2009, the School of Communication and the Department of Special Education worked with the Pipeline Program to pro-duce an instructional DVD focusing on classroom management strategies in urban school environments. The DVD, “Collaborative Classroom Management,” won the National Broadcasting Society’s professional video competition in the instructional, corporate, or training category.

University faculty

In all five colleges with teacher education programs, fac-ulty redesigned existing general studies courses to provide content that would address the preparation of future teachers for the realities of high-need schools. The com-pounding result of redesigned courses embedded an urban education focus in the teacher education program. A total of 35 courses have been redesigned over a four-year period. Through the course redesign initiative, over 1,200 Illinois State University students have visited Chicago for educational-, cultural-, and service-oriented experiences. The redesigned courses have resulted in more students choosing urban districts for their student teaching and expressing the intent to teach.

Living,learning,andteachinginChicago

Developing a foundation for education in urban schools

Teacher education students enrolled in the Social Foundations of Education may opt to participate in an intensive, four-day program visiting Chicago Public Schools coordinated by the Pipeline Program. They expe-rience after-school programs, neighborhoods, community organizations, ethnic restaurants, and cultural venues. Through this experience, students begin to embrace the idea of living and teaching in an urban setting; many stu-dents begin envisioning what it would be like to make a home and career in an urban city like Chicago.

This attention to detail is part of what helped the Pipeline Program receive national recognition. They were awarded the Best Practice Award in Support of Global Diversity and Inclusion from the American Association of

Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) in 2008. This prestigious national award recognizes work that fosters the development of quality teaching and professional educa-tion practices that promote diversity, equity, and global perspectives with specific focus on increasing urban teacher recruitment and improving preparation and retention of teachers in hard-to-staff inner-city schools.

The Professional Development Schools (PDS) Model

The first Professional Development Schools (PDS) program in Chicago was started in the Little Village com-munity. The PDS model requires students to complete a full-year internship, and complete their senior-year methodology coursework onsite. While in the natural environment of the school, students are inducted or acculturated in all aspects of the school environment. When such induction and support for beginning teachers is provided, teacher retention has increased with the grow-ing success. As the program expands, new schools in the community are being transformed into PDS sites.

A yearlong experience

Yearlong residency programs at PDS sites provide future teachers with rich opportunities to observe, reflect, and later deal with problems associated with establishing their own classrooms—including management strategies with which new teachers often express great difficulty in their transition from ‘student-teacher’ to ‘teacher professional.’ Teacher candidates are exposed to the kinds of hard-to-staff classrooms and schools in which they will be

Forty new math and science education students will ben-efit from a $750,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to Illinois State University in cooperation with Chicago Public Schools. “Over the next four years,” says College of Education Dean Deborah Curtis, “the Illinois State Board of Education tells us we will need nearly 3,000 more mathematics teachers and 2,500 new science teachers.”

Though Illinois State is trying many new strategies to entice the best and brightest students to apply for this program, not one is more important than reaching out to our alumni, colleagues, and friends of education to help us “GET THE WORD OUT.”

We encourage our readership to reach into their own professional and personal networks and talk about this opportunity.

teaching. It is this experience that can help shape teach-ers as they formulate their emerging professional identity. Intern teachers completing their senior year in this pro-gram gradually become fully immersed in the community, schools, and classrooms of these urban schools.

Traditional semester-long student teaching is also an option available to students who are not a part of the yearlong PDS program. Some fit best with the traditional, semester-long student teaching experience. The Pipeline Program encourages these students to also complete their student teaching in Chicago’s public schools. Over the last four years (2005–2009), fifty-four traditional student teachers have completed their required student teaching in Little Village Schools.

AcommunityforPDSinterns

Whether Illinois State students select the yearlong internship program where they live in the community, or if they student teach in the community schools for a semester, there are some very unique supports that the Pipeline Program, local schools, and communi-ty-based organizations provide to help them begin to feel “part of” the Little Village community.

Addressing language barriers

Over the past two years, faculty from the Spanish Language Department have immersed their advanced stu-dents in Chicago Teacher Education Pipeline’s partner schools to liaise translations between monolingual English-speaking teachers and mono-lingual Spanish-speaking parents during parent-teacher conferences. The program has tripled in size with 35 stu-dents and three professors participating in three schools.

Creating investment in the community

In 2007, the Chicago Teacher Education Pipeline relo-cated its main office from Illinois State University’s Foundation office on Michigan Avenue to the Little Village community. The facility now provides staff office space, meeting spaces for other community-based organizations and non-profits, and a multi-use room that has been used to hold classes and informational meetings for community residents and students.

Promoting social equality in urban schools

Efforts by Illinois State to promote equality in public edu-cation helped earn the Pipeline Program an award from the National Network for Educational Renewal (NNER); Illinois State received the Nicholas Michelli Award in 2008. The award recognizes the promotion of social justice in teacher education. The Pipeline Program was

applauded for its collaborative efforts to bring about social justice in the work of students and future teachers.

Looking to the future

As the Chicago Teacher Education Pipeline evolves, it becomes clear that the synergy across Illinois State’s cam-pus and in Chicago’s community is clear, present, and growing. The College of Education’s Pipeline Program continues to expand its reach, and has recently been chosen as a partner in a National Science Foundation, Robert Noyce Scholarship for Science and Math program with the Chicago Public Schools. Scheduled to begin in fall 2009, the scholarship program will provide support to Illinois State University students who are enrolled in a math and/or science education major, current educa-tors who are certified to teach in other subject areas but would like to teach math and/or science, and professionals

with a minimum of a bachelors degree in math and/or science (non-teacher education sequence) that are seeking a career change. Former Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan (now U.S. Secretary of Education) con-gratulated Illinois State for its progressive efforts in a press conference announcing the new initiative. “This is really a model for the country in addressing the critical need nationwide,” said Duncan.

With continued interest and developing partnerships between Illinois State’s students, faculty, and adminis-tration, the Chicago Teacher Education Pipeline’s next five years will hold many more opportunities to provide award-winning and nationally-recognized model for teacher education programs and partnerships.

Recipients of the Robert Noyce Scholarship will receive a stipend of at least $10,000 per year and have their

tuition and fees waived by Illinois State. The University is also adding a $5,000 stipend for students who hold

bachelor’s degrees and are changing their careers to become teachers. The awards will cover the last two years.

Recipients must commit to teach in Chicago Public Schools for two years for every year they receive the grant.

The Jean M. Borg Endowed Scholarship was established through a planned gift and also a gift of cash, which enables the scholarship to begin to be awarded in fall 2009. Jean Borg graduated from Winchester High School. At the encouragement and insis-tence of her mother, she became a student at Illinois State Normal

University, graduating in 1950 with her Bachelor of Science in education. Among several experiences she had while an undergraduate student, a significant one was her student work in the audiovisual department under the tutelage of Nelson Smith, in whose honor the Illinois State University Nelson Smith Building is named. Jean found that she was very enthusiastic about her classes

By Tommy Navickas

Art Levine, the sixth president of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation and former president of Columbia Teacher’s College, presented on the future of academic institutions in America during American Education Week 2008. His message to Illinois State fac-ulty and students spoke to Levine’s vision for change and the form in which that change may take place. He pref-aced his speech with an invitation for audience members to use their imagination.

“Let’s dream. Let’s imagine what education will look like in twenty years,” he said.

Levine’s preface implied that education would not look like it does today with the passing of twenty years. Levine gave several factors that the alteration in education will come about. Among them were: population growth and changing demographics, the shift from an industrial to a technological economic community, government demand for higher accountability from all public schools, and the continued rise of globalization. One of the out-comes Levine expects is a transition from the traditional public university with physical campuses to more acces-sible forms of education.

“There will be three types of schools: the traditional brick and mortar campus, the click university serving non-traditional students, and the brick and click univer-sity that will have to balance what programs they want

to include,” Levine said.

Levine said that there is an increased need for click as well as the brick and click universities as adults in a world of infor-mation tech-nologies demand just-in-time and stripped down versions of learning without unnecessary courses.

“These students demand convenience, they demand service, they demand low cost, and they demand great, up-to-date instruction from teachers who know what’s going on now.”

As Levine commented, privatization and globalization are challenging where education comes from. During a meeting with a publishing company executive, the execu-tive told Levine that the company was no longer in the book business, but the knowledge business.

“He told me their content was used for teacher prepa-ration in over 12,000 schools and that their goal was to put a company brand name for teacher development in universities.”

Levine explained that this private company and pub-lic universities were vying for the same employees—but while Levine knew these employees to be professors, pri-vate industry labels them content developers.

Levine then painted the picture of the highest quality professors being represented by agents in a world where learning was more important than teaching, quality edu-cation was in higher demand, and students outnumbered professors much more greatly than they do today. He also forecasted the decline of credits and degree requirements in favor of a central bureau that provides transcripts of student competencies and accomplishments.

In the question and answer session of the presentation, Levine acknowledged pitfalls in the future of education as well. Most notably of which was the cost of education.

“My greatest fear is that education will become like health care and the regimentation that is being entailed.”

He acknowledged that the 20-year forecast might portray a scenario that audience members might not have expected, but should embrace.

“This is an exciting time. It means doing things differ-ently and building the system in a way in which you want it to look,” said Levine. “I can think of no better place for the development of education than Illinois State University.”

in the department of biological sciences. She especially admired Ernest Lamkey, the head of the department, and Bertha Royce, who taught zoology. Jean continues to hold a distinct appreciation for the whole department, which she found to be quite influential. Her student years with the Department of Biological Sciences and her ongoing love for animals and plants added to her decision to create this scholarship.

Borg’s mother, Mary R. Borg, understood the value of an education. It was her mother’s encouragement and the education that Jean received at ISNU that paved the way for a lifetime of dedication to teaching and education via a number of different educational avenues. Following her graduation from ISNU, Jean taught junior high school sciences in Momence, Leroy, and Bloomington. Her first teaching position, from 1950–1951, was at Momence Junior High School. She then taught at West Community School in Leroy from 1952–1955, and from 1956–1962 at Bloomington Junior High School, where principal Robert Knight encouraged her to study for a master’s in counseling.

Jean earned her Master of Arts in counselor educa-tion in 1962 and her advanced certificate in counselor education in 1967 from the University of Illinois at

TheHunkler-StagenTeachingScholarship

The Hunkler-Stagen Teaching Scholarship Endowed fund is established through an initial cash gift and a planned gift in the estate of Larry and Patricia (Hunkler) Stagen who have started their “Pay-It-Forward” endeavor. They want to encourage others into the teaching field so that they might help others reach their potential and have a more productive and rewarding life. In this way, these new teachers will be “paying it for-ward” by helping others. Someday they may even provide financial help to others. Pat and Larry also created this scholarship in memory of her parents, Mildred and Ray Hunkler, and her grandparents, Ruth and John Hunkler.

Raised near Bloomington’s O’Neil’s Park, Mildred (Winkleman) Hunkler graduated from Brown Business College and worked at Foster’s law office in Bloomington. After marrying, she helped her husband, Ray, with his excavating business’s home office. Some of her hobbies were cooking, collecting recipes, caring for flowers and plants, and doing crossword puzzles. Raised on a Deer Creek farm, Ray graduated from Deer Creek High School and worked at Altofer Manufacturing Co. and Caterpillar Inc. Subsequently, he started his own successful Ray Hunkler Ditching and Excavating business from which he retired 42 years later. He enjoyed traveling and visiting with others.

Pat’s grandparents, Ruth (Ramsey) and John Hunkler, owned and lived on a farm near Deer Creek. After they purchased the land from her parents, Ruth lived on the farm until her death in 1962. She liked canning, cooking dinners for friends, and keeping an immaculate house. John liked raising and grafting fruit trees as well as keeping bee hives. He also served on the Deer Creek High School board. He lived on the farm most of his life before passing in 1986. The sale of the Hunkler farm is providing much of the funds to establish this scholarship, as well as three additional teaching scholarships, with one going to Dee-Mack High School, East Peoria High School, and Washington High School.

Raised in East Peoria, Patricia graduated from East Peoria High School where she participated in band activities as her main interest. Enrolling at Illinois State University in elementary education, she graduated in 1961. After completing her student teaching at Thomas

Metcalf School, she taught third grade at C.B. Smith School in Pekin, for the next 32 years. During that time she graduated from Bradley University with a master’s degree plus 32 additional hours in elementary education. She also attended Eureka College’s summer enrichment classes. She enjoys home decorating, caring for flowers and plants, traveling, and doing creative sea shell flower arrangements.

Larry lived on a farm near Farmer City and gradu-ated from Farmer City High School. He graduated from Illinois State University in 1960 with an English-speech-journalism composite major. After completing his student teaching at Washington High School and signing a teach-ing contract there, he taught English for four years and advised the yearbook staff for 10 years. During those four years he earned a Master of Administration and a Master of Guidance from the University of Illinois. After being in the classroom those first four years, he went into the Counseling Guidance Office for the next 29 years, serv-ing as the director of guidance for the last 27 years. He enjoys golfing, attending basketball and baseball games, and compiling books. He wrote a family genealogy book, Washington High School Basketball Statistical History, and Washington High School Football Statistical History. He still updates those books, which are over 400 pages each.

Candidates for the Hunkler-Stagen Teaching Scholarship must be students who are committed to becoming teachers. All things being equal, preference is to be given to students who are graduates of Farmer City Blue-Ridge High School, Deer Creek-Mackinaw High School, East Peoria High School, or Washington High School.

TheDr.MegHutchinsMemorialEndowedScholarship

The Dr. Meg Hutchins Memorial Scholarship Endowment was created with donations from colleagues, family, and alumni/friends in memory and in honor of Margaret “Meg” Penn Hutchins, who was a faculty member in the Special Education Department from 1995–2005. Hutchins was a passionate and committed teacher

educator and mentor who set high expectations for her students and provided exemplary instruction and sup-port as they strove to meet those expectations. Hutchins dedicated her career to enhancing opportunities for people with significant disabilities to participate in their schools and communities.

Hutchins was born on April 28, 1953, and died on July 26, 2005. Her leadership began as student body president at Hampton Roads Academy. She attended Salem College and graduated from the University of

Champaign-Urbana. From 1962–1972, she served as a school counselor for students in Champaign, first at Jefferson Junior High School and then at Champaign Central High School.

Following those experiences, Jean served as a fac-ulty member in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of South Florida for more than twenty years. In this capacity, Jean was afforded the opportunity to travel to and work in Washington, DC, as well as all over the United States, as a part of a National Commission focused on the professional development for teachers. The commission created and supported 17 different project centers located all over the nation. The work of the commission involved the development and sharing of leadership training materials for teachers. The work included conducting research in order to develop state-of-the art materials, as well as research into and the preparation of test questions to enhance curricular learn-ing. The focus was always on a commitment to the devel-opment of best practices in teacher education.

Jean retired from teaching in 1993 and has been active in her community through volunteer work at the Clearwater Central Library, the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, and the Humane Society of North Pinellas, Inc., all in Florida. She has continued to be a loyal Illinois State University alumna and has attended several alumni gatherings and events held in the Tampa area.

Through the establishment and implementation of this scholarship, Jean is expressing her sincere appreciation to Illinois State University for the outstanding education she received. It is her desire to support students to become committed teachers of excellence, as she is highly aware of the need for good teachers at all levels. Jean received a Veteran’s Scholarship from the State of Illinois for a student planning to become a teacher. She was able to apply for this scholarship because her father Fred W. Borg (1891-1966) had served in the United States Army, and had received the Purple Heart as a World War I veteran. Jean has always remembered the significance of that financial support. It is her hope that this scholarship will support and inspire its recipients, as well.

TheMaryR.BorgEndowedPresidentialScholarship

The Mary R. Borg Endowed Presidential Scholarship was estab-lished through a planned gift in the estate of Jean M. Borg, and also a gift of cash, which enables the scholarship to begin to be awarded in fall 2009. Jean created the Mary R. Borg Presidential Scholarship in honor of the life

and memory of her mother, Mary R. Borg. As described by Jean, Mary was an independent

person who was proud of being a woman and of the work that women do. Born in 1901, Mary witnessed the rise of respect for women in the United States during the 20th century and was a supporter of the right for women to vote in this country. As an advocate of womens’ rights, Mary was a person who often served at the voting polls and helped to encourage and register other women to vote. Mary was a high school graduate, which was not common for girls in her time. Following high school, she trained as a nurse and worked at a hospital in Peoria. Later in her life she used her creative talents in the writing of music and as an artistic seamstress. Even though she was disabled and in a wheelchair, she continued her seamstress and sewing activities during the last 10–12 years of her life.

As a daughter growing up under Mary’s leadership and influence, Jean admired her mother’s independent spirit and encouragement, towards herself and others. Although Mary had never attended college, she recognized the value of education, and of education for women, and thus she fervently encouraged her daughter to go to Illinois State Normal University to become a teacher. Jean M. Borg did just that, and the subsequent result was an education that paved the way for a lifetime of dedication to teaching and education via a number of different educational avenues.

Through the establishment and implementation of this scholarship, Jean Borg is honoring the influence and encouragement of her mother Mary R. Borg in a signifi-cant manner. A Presidential Scholarship is the highest honor an entering student may receive, and thus, Jean is honoring her mother and her mother’s dedication to edu-cation through this endowment.

KathyHassigMemorialScholarship

The Kathy Hassig Memorial Scholarship, given through the Charles DeGarmo Endowment Fund, was established by the U.S.S. Magellan, a Star Trek fan organiza-tion that Hassig cofounded. Kathy Hassig graduated from Illinois State University in 1975 with a degree in special education. Hassig

died at the age of 51 after a brave battle with lymphoma and later a brain tumor. Known as a nurturing teacher and educational diagnostician, everything she did was in the spirit of helping others. Hassig was a lifelong fan of Star Trek and lived her life according to the ideals repre-sented in the show: be good to people, respect yourself, and give to those who are in need of your help. Hassig used these ideals in her work as a nurturing teacher and role model.

This memorial scholarship was established by other members of the U.S.S. Magellan club, who raised this scholarship money to honor the life and memory of Hassig, and who hope to award this scholarship each year. Hassig enriched their lives and this scholarship is their way

initial group of students who participated in the CORE program, student teaching in Joliet for 18 weeks, doing community service and taking classes all at the same time. Participation in the CORE program taught Nan that it is important to serve the whole community, to work contin-ually toward improving yourself and your teaching skills, and to give back whenever you can.

Following graduation, Nan was privileged to teach 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students in Illinois for over four years. She also continued to take classes at Illinois State, beginning work on a Master of Science in special educa-tion. In 1977, before she could complete her degree, she moved to California, where she entered the business field. Using skills learned at the University, she trained and led her teams of employees, eventually becoming human resources executive. In 1998, she formed her own human resources consulting firm where she specialized in systems and administration—mentoring human resources execu-tives and systems specialists on both the requirements and capabilities of technological solutions to human resources issues.

Nan never forgot her teaching background, spending time whenever possible working with children in an edu-cational setting. Along with other activities, she substitute taught, was a parent volunteer, and also served the legisla-tive maximum of seven years as a member of Area Board V, a federally funded California State board overseeing programs and services for the developmentally disabled.

Meanwhile, she married and had one child. Through her marriage, she acquired yet another contact with Illinois State, her mother-in-law’s cousin, Maxine Bolen, spouse of Charles W. Bolen, former dean of the College of Fine Arts. Her husband, Raleigh and son, Jim, both appreciate the value of a good education. With that in mind, and remembering her college years at Illinois State University, the skills that that education provided her and her cousins for their futures, and knowing the impact a passionate teacher can make, Nan has created this schol-arship to support students in their dreams of becoming teachers. She also has a special regard for persons who come into teaching having been in a previous career, and has indicated in the qualifications that those individuals should receive special attention in the application process.

TheLawsonLegacyFamilyScholarship

The Lawson Legacy Family Scholarship in the Department of Special Education was established in honor of the 60th wedding anniversary of Robert Kent Lawson and Helen Delores Akers Lawson, who met as Illinois State Normal University students and married in 1949. The Lawsons grew up during the Great Depression and came to

ISNU at the close of WWII, during which Robert Lawson

Continued from page 21 had served in the U.S. Navy. Robert Lawson majored in agriculture education and later taught agriculture, science, middle school, and was an elementary principal. Helen Lawson was a business education major which led her to employment as an office manager, bookkeeper, and later as a public aid caseworker for the State of Illinois. They have three children Janice, Cindy, and Glenn in whom they have instilled a love of teaching and learning.

Their daughter Cindy Leigh Lawson (’73, ’77, ’93) also received her education at Illinois State, and after teaching in Peoria and Lincoln and administering a spe-cial education program in Peoria, joined the Illinois State University Department of Special Education where she served for over 25 years. During her time with the depart-ment, she filled many roles including instructor, clinical faculty member, and undergraduate and master’s coordi-nator. This scholarship was established upon her retire-ment from the position of assistant chairperson which she held for ten years. Cindy’s step-daughter, Danielle Fulk Bean, graduated from the special education program in 2001 and is a special educator.

Avis Anna Crosby Lawson, mother of Robert and grandmother of Cindy, also attended the University, receiving her teaching certificate in 1911. Her love for education and for the University influenced each of her four children. In addition to Robert, her daughter Ruth attended ISNU, earning her teaching certificate in home economics in 1949. Five of Ruth’s eight children have also attended Illinois State.

It is the purpose of this scholarship to provide assis-tance to students who major in special education and provide tribute to the Lawson family legacy at Illinois State University.

TheAlexanderMontgomeryMemorialScholarship

The Alexander Montgomery Memorial Scholarship in the Department of Special Education was established in honor and memory of Alex, by his parents, Jean and Donnie Montgomery. Alex passed away in January of 2007. The purpose of the schol-arship is to provide financial

assistance to a senior at Illinois State University majoring in special education, preferably studying the specialty to teach those with learning disabilities. Jean and Donnie chose to create this scholarship because it was the spe-cial education teachers at the Schramm Educational Center in Pekin that were so helpful to Alex, whom the Montgomerys describe as a “person so full of life.”

The recipient of the Alexander Montgomery memorial Scholarship must be entering his/her senior year, with a major in the field of learning behavior spe-cialist. The recipient should demonstrate financial need

and have strong academic achievement, as evidenced by a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.

TheCarolOwenMemorialSpecialEducationTeacherScholarship

The Carol Owen Memorial Special Education Teacher Scholarship was created through donations from friends and colleagues, and estab-lished in 2008 to honor the mem-ory of Carol Owen who passed away that same year. Carol gradu-ated from Illinois State University’s special education program in the

vision sequence in December 1977. She taught in Lincoln, Peoria, and Pekin as a special educator for children with deaf/blindness and severe/multiple disabilities. By 1982, she had completed her master’s degree and administrative credentials in general and special education, also at Illinois State University.

Carol joined the faculty of the Department of Special Education in 1984, serving first as a university supervisor and later as the coordinator for the Chicago Area Field-Based program, a position she held until 1996. At that time, Carol returned to the public schools as a special edu-cator for Community Consolidated School District 15. In 2005, Carol achieved National Board Certified Teacher/Exceptional Needs Specialist status and became a Master Teacher in Illinois, the highest credentials available to spe-cial educators.

In 1996, Carol was diagnosed with ovarian cancer which she survived for twelve years with courage, optimism, and her strong will to be of service to others. She was active as a special educator until the time of her death, and was very involved in her church and community.

Carol was the devoted wife of Robbin for 29 years and mother of Shannon, Dane, and Brandon. Her passion for education and love for her family was passed on to her children, nieces, and nephews. In addition to her excel-lence as a teacher, Carol was a loyal and involved family member and friend, fond of hosting large gatherings with home prepared authentic Italian foods. She was an avid biker, camper, and always the first in line for any adven-ture or opportunity to help. She cheered her children through soccer, volleyball, orchestra, scouts, and ultimately higher education while maintaining organization and good cheer with the help of an amazing color-coded calendar of family activities.

Carol’s loving husband Robbin has established this scholarship to honor Carol’s love for teaching and for Illinois State University special education. It is the pur-pose of this scholarship to provide assistance to students who major in special education, as well as provide tribute and memory to the life of Carol Owen. The candidates

Virginia in 1975. While serving as a special education teacher for students with disabilities in Albemarle County, Virginia, she also coached girl’s field hockey team for several years. After earning a Master of Education degree from the University of Virginia in 1982, she moved to Illinois and received her Ph.D. in special education from the University of Illinois in 1989. She continued in that department where she taught classes and directed two fed-erally funded research grants until joining the faculty at Illinois State University in 1995. She completed require-ments to achieve tenure and appointment as associate professor in 2000.

Hutchins’ interests focused on successful transition of youth with disabilities, from school to adult life, with a special emphasis on promoting positive employment outcomes. Later she expanded her concerns to other adult areas that help define “quality of life” for persons with disabilities. Her philosophy of teaching was grounded in the belief that teachers should also be learners. She endeavored to create effective professional development strategies that would encourage educators to implement what they have learned, and not to willingly accept the status quo for their students. Hutchins published and presented in all of these research areas and served on professional, community, and university organizations related to disability, special education, and teacher educa-tion. She served as an officer and board member for the Illinois Teacher Education Division of the Council for Exceptional Children for over 10 years and was posthu-mously awarded its 2005 Outstanding Educator Award.

This scholarship will be for a junior or senior in good standing in the Department of Special Education at Illinois State University, majoring in the field of learning behavioral specialist.

TheNanSchumanKleinFutureTeacherScholarship

The Nan Schuman Klein Future Teacher Scholarship was estab-lished by Nan Schuman Klein through a planned gift and a com-mitment for annual cash giving. Through this scholarship, Nan is expressing her appreciation for her education at Illinois State University and desire to provide

financial support to students attending Illinois State University who have a passion to become teachers.

Nancy Jo Schuman graduated from Illinois State University in 1973, earning a Bachelor of Science in education. While at Illinois State, Nan joined two of her cousins who were also students in the College of Education, lived in International House, competed on the Illinois State University karate team, and cochaired the Associated Women Students.

TheNancyReinerSparksEndowedTeachingScholarship

The Nancy Reiner Sparks Teaching Scholarship was estab-lished in 2008 in her memory by relatives, colleagues, and friends. Nancy was a remarkable friend, teacher, and principal who had an ever-present smile and an energetic and optimistic presence.

The candidates for this scholar-ship will be upperclassmen who plan to become elementa-ry level teachers or administrators. All things being equal, preference will be given to members of the Delta Delta Delta sorority.

Nancy was born in Bloomington on October 9, 1956. She was raised in town and was a 1974 graduate of Bloomington High School. Nancy earned both a Bachelor of Science (1978) and a Master of Science (1980) in Special Education from Illinois State. While at Illinois State, Nancy was an active member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority. Nancy was very grateful for her Illinois State education and days as a sorority sister. In fact, shortly after beginning her professional career, the Tri-Delt house found itself unexpectedly without a house-mother, so Nancy volunteered to be housemother for two years (1982–1984) while she worked full-time as an elementary school teacher.

Nancy was a natural and versatile teacher who was very effective and popular with her kids. During the teaching portion of Nancy’s career (1980–1995), Nancy taught students with learning disabilities in all elementary grades. Nancy also taught second grade, fourth grade, and as a military wife for much of her career, taught high school in the U.S. military school system in Germany. Nancy’s career was also geographically diverse. She taught in Normal and Farmer City Illinois (1980–1984); Ozark, Alabama (1984–1985); Fulda and Vilsek, Germany (1985–1988); Columbus, Georgia (1988–1989); Concord, Massachusetts (1989–1991), and Woodbridge, Virginia (1991–1995).

In 1995, Nancy began assuming administrative duties at her school. In 1996, Nancy earned an endorsement in elementary school administration and supervision from the University of Virginia, Curry School of Education. From 1997–2002, Nancy served as an elementary school assistant principal in the Prince William County and Alexandria City, Virginia school districts.

In 2002, Nancy was promoted to principal of George Mason Elementary in Alexandria, Virginia. In her five-

year tenure, Nancy became a beloved figure at the school. The most popular prize for students earning points for good works was “Lunch with the Principal.”

Nancy died in September 2007 of ovarian cancer. Nancy did not let her 18-month medical struggle affect her interactions with her students. Nancy made sure the students entrusted to her were a priority. Her school won top honors in the school district for Virginia Standards of Learning in 2005–2006 and 2006–2007. The University of Virginia, School of Education named Nancy “Principal of the Year” for 2006–2007. The students wrote retire-ment cards to Nancy in May 2007; one card, representa-tive of all of the rest, stated, “You have always been a bright ray of sunshine in my life…you always had a smile for anyone who was sad. You were always kind to every-one no matter what…I will always remember you with a smile.”

TheMarilynandDonaldTurnerEndowedScholarshipFund,UniversityHighSchool

The Marilyn and Donald Turner Endowed Scholarship Fund for University High School was estab-lished in 2008 through the docu-mentation of a planned gift in the estate of Donald and Marilyn Hoyt Turner. Donald and Marilyn are both graduates of University High School, class of 1949. Marilyn

Hoyt was president of their senior class. Donald and Marilyn were inspired to continue their

education by the faculty and fellow students at University High School. Both went to the Champaign campus of the University of Illinois. Marilyn received a degree in education and Don received a bachelor’s degree in archi-tecture. They were friends in high school but did not date until they were attending the University of Illinois. They were married in 1953. After serving two years in the U.S. Army, they returned to Illinois. In 1959 they moved to Kankakee, where Donald established an architectural firm and Marilyn taught school for five years. Donald’s firm designed educational facilities, medical facilities, numerous banks, industrial and state correctional facilities, hospitals, and churches.

Donald and Marilyn retired after thirty-eight years and moved to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, where they have continued to be very active in civic, charitable, and profes-sional organizations, as well as their church. Donald and Marilyn have three daughters and five grandchildren.

The Turners created this scholarship out of their desire to acknowledge the excellence of the education they received at University High School and to provide financial support to a senior student graduating from University High School who plans to major in college in education or architecture.
