Professional Education Program - Administration

Dialogues Across Differences - "If Long Island Were a Village: The 100 People Model" - Roberta Richin, Director of the Center for Prejudice Reduction, and Sarah Nadeau, Director of the Tolerance Center, NYC, conducted an engaging and interactive workshop supported by a 2008 Stony Brook University Presidential Grant awarded to the PEP Outreach Office administrator on Dialogues Across Differences for Diversity and Internationalization on May 5, 2008 at the Stony Brook campus. P-16 Long Island educators and Stony Brook University students from diverse areas were invited to use the 100-person model to challenge their assumptions and reconsider practices regarding the 2.75 million people on Long Island. Participants explored surprising characteristics of our Long Island community, and considered how to use new insights to fulfill their roles as teachers, administrators, community leaders, and other professionals.

Educational Leadership Programs

Grant Funding to Enhance Educational Leadership Preparation Programs

Goal of the NYSED/Wallace Foundation Grant
The New York State Education Department (NYSED) is working to improve the quality of educational leadership programs across New York State. As part of this initiative, NYSED sought applications for the Educational Leadership Program Enhancement Project. The purpose of this program is to develop centers of educational leadership excellence in institutions of higher education that will serve as model programs for developing highly effective School Building Leaders.

Focus of the Funded Program

Development of certified teachers to become highly effective school principals or assistant principals to serve in high-need schools through relevant, coherent and well-articulated content, pedagogy and field work.
These highly-qualified School Building Leaders when certified will possess the knowledge and skills necessary to assist all students in meeting high performance standards in the core academic subject areas.
Provide an authentic, rigorous and year-long clinical internship.Project Abstract and Funding

Project Abstract and Funding

Through the proposed third year of funding ($249,679 for the period 9/1/11-8/31/12), the research-based Educational Leadership Program (EDL) at Stony Brook University (SBU) will be enhanced and modified to target the unique needs and problems existing in the identified school districts. This will occur through a collaborative effort between members of the University, partnering school districts, Eastern Suffolk BOCES and the faculty within the SBU EDL program.

To this end, the EDL Program at Stony Brook will run a cohort of fifteen Wallace Fellows from the ten identified high-need school districts on Long Island. These fifteen Wallace Fellows will become a "problem-solving" team. A Stony Brook mentor will be assigned to the team for the full two years of the program to provide guidance, expertise and individual mentoring.

Foreign Languages

Irene Marchegiani, Director of Field Experience and Clinical Practice for the Foreign Language Teacher Education Program, was awarded $5000 over a three year period in individual FAHSS (Fine Arts, Humanities, and lettered Social Sciences) grants during the summers of 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Nadia Stoyanova Kennedy, Assistant Professor and Co-Director of the Mathematics Teacher Education Program, is Principal Investigator of the following grant: (2008-2009) (Award #46352), March 2008- March 2009, Strengthening Under-represented Minority Mathematics Achievement in Undergraduate Mathematics, Mathematical Association of America--Tensor-SUMMA Foundation, ($6,000). Co-PIs: Linda Padwa and Eileen Welsh. This grant received a one year extension (March 2009-March 2010) with an additional $6000 awarded for the second year.

Sciences

Dr. David Bynum, Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology is the Founder and Director of The Center for Science and Mathematics Education (CESAME) – CESAME acts as a catalyst in creating research opportunities that link together students and science teachers at every level from kindergarten to college. The project, located in the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Stony Brook, is the recipient of a number of major grants from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), the National Institute of Health (NIH), and the National Science Foundation (NSF), for providing research fellowships to students and for furthering Stony Brook's outreach efforts in the community and schools. The project has greatly enriched the science teacher education program, provided workshops, courses and resources for pre-service and in-service K-12 science teachers, attracted underrepresented minorities, and provided fellowships.
