SAHE Student Sarah Elsey Encourages Alternative Spring Break Program
Sarah Elsey, a graduate student majoring in student affairs, has been the driving force behind the new Alternative spring break initiative, which was first suggested in the fall of 2011. Service-learning is an instructional strategy that combines meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enhance student learning, teach civic responsibility, broaden empathy and perspective taking, and strengthen communities. In service-learning, students use course content to study, examine and address real-life problems faced by fellow citizens in their local, regional or global communities.
Elsey comments, “Service-learning and civic engagement are passions of mine in student affairs, and both are main parts of this program,”
Last semester, the group traveled to Alamosa, Colo., and volunteered at the La Puente Home, a homeless resource center. Elsey’s first term in Americore had been served in Alamosa.
This spring, two groups will visit two different locations: Denver and Wyoming. Denver is an option for those who would like to help more locally, aiding non-profit organizations. Students who would like to get involved can contact Elsey on her office phone, 255-3701, or email selsey@uccs.edu.

Special Education Faculty Have Manuscripts Published
Dr. Emily Nusbaum and Dr. Janet Sauer of the Special Education department have both recently had manuscripts published.
Ferguson, Philip M., and Emily Nusbaum. (2012). "Disability Studies: What Is It and What Difference Does It Make?" Research & Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities 37, no. 2: 70-80. Dr. Nusbaum's Abstract: The academic field of disability studies has expanded rapidly over the last two decades or so. With that expansion has also come some growing ambiguity about exactly what is meant by the term "disability studies." This article reviews the history and evolution of disability studies as an interdisciplinary approach to research and scholarship. While acknowledging the broad range of interests and approaches that can fall under the umbrella of the "disability studies" label, we argue that it may be useful to present a set of core themes or beliefs that seem central to disability studies as a field if it is to fulfill its promise as a truly different way of exploring the meanings of disability in society. Finally, we argue that disability studies should be of special interest to members of TASH and others with particular interest in the lives of people with significant intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Sauer, J. (2012). “Look at me”: Portraiture and agency. Disability Studies Quarterly, 32(4). Dr. Sauer's Article Abstract: "Historically, the dominant research paradigms involving the study of people with disabilities involved experimentally designed studies or other medically orientated approaches. This paper examines portraiture as a form of qualitative inquiry offering emancipatory possibilities for children with significant disabilities and transformative positive reinterpretations of disability as a social construct for their teachers and other people in their lives. Three narrative portraits of young people with disabilities were created based on a year-long portraiture study involving the collection of observational data, informal interviews, artifacts, and discourse analysis to capture the "essence" of their humanness. Through an examination of this portrait study and others from across the humanities, this paper provides examples where the "subjects" asserted themselves in ways akin to Giroux's agency (1987) suggesting portraiture might provide a unique and credible avenue to respectfully study and learn more about people with disabilities too often left on the fringe of society."

Dr. Patrick McGuire's Five-Frame Research Highlighted Fall 2012 UCCS Research Innovations
Earlier this month Dr. Patrick McGuire had his dissertation article highlighted on the Child Care & Early Education (Research Connections) website.
There is another article and interview in the Fall 2012 UCCS Research and Innovations magazine. The title of the article is, "Cultivating Creativity in Mathematics."

Dr. Al Ramirez Book Released This November
Dr. Al Ramirez of the Leadership, Research and Foundations department, will have a new book released this November. The book, "Financing Schools and Educational Programs" explores how public schools are financed and how other funds are raised for educational programs in elementary and secondary schools. The book spans both the theoretical and practical aspects of the topic, with a broad emphasis on the interaction between policy and politics.
Dr. Barbara Swaby Has New Children's Book Released
Dr. Barbara Swaby has a newly released children's book: "When Will Daddy Be Home?" A synopsis of the book from Authorhouse: A family is a really strong thing. It doesn't break or even crack when something really, really bad happens. That makes me feel really safe. My family will love me forever, no matter what. We can't wait for Daddy to come back home. But we'll all be OK till then. Daddy will be OK too.
When Dr. Swaby was asked what inspired her to write this children’s book she described her research. “According to the NAACP Criminal Justice Fact Sheet 2012, the United States is approximately 5% of the World population, yet it has approximately 25% of world prisoners. When one combines the number of people in prison/jail with those under parole/probation, 1 in every 31 adults or 3.2 % of the population is under some form of “correctional control”. African-American adults are especially at risk. As of 2001, 1 in 6 African-American men have been incarcerated and 1 in 100 African-American women have been in prison. Approximately 2 million American children have at least one parent incarcerated and approximately 10 million children have experienced the incarceration of at least one parent during their childhood.
Dr. Swaby went on to clarify,"The impact of these statistics on the lives of children is staggering. Unfortunately, in the field of children’s books there are precious few books that give these children a voice. Few speak of the realities of incarceration, of the impact of parent incarceration on the family, of the possibility of hope, forgiveness, unconditional love and restoration for all involved. My book, "When Will Daddy Be Home?" was written to begin to bridge that gap. I want children to see themselves in the characters who are broken, emotionally decimated, angry, bewildered, yet have hope, continue to love, try to forgive and face the situation with courage. All children need and deserve to have their voices recognized and their stories told. I trust that my book will take a step toward that goal."

Assistant Professor and Ph.D.Students Receive Grant Award
Dr. Marcus Winters and Ph.D. in Educational Leadership, Research and Policy students, Sarah Cooksey, Giovanna Basney, and Thomas Swaim have been awarded a grant for $25,000 to study the effects of New York City’s policy requiring that students be retained if they don’t meet a minimal test score benchmark. The project is called, “The Effect of New York City’s Test-Based Promotion Policy on Student Outcome.” Several school systems have recently enacted or are reportedly considering adopting policies that require students to demonstrate possession of some minimal proficiency on standardized tests in order to be promoted to the next grade and avoid other remediation treatments. Such test-based promotion policies are intended to end the common practice of social promotion.
Though these remediation policies often include several treatments for low-performing students, what makes test-based promotion policies particularly controversial is that they can substantially increase the percentage of students who are retained in grade. School systems adopting policies that dramatically increase grade retention do so despite a large body of research finding that retention is harmful to student achievement. However, researchers have recently raised serious questions about the validity of prior studies measuring the effect of grade retention on student achievement.
The study will utilize a regression discontinuity design in order to identify the effect of remediation under New York City’s policy on student outcomes over time. The method takes advantage of the fact that probability of treatment under the policy is directly related to where a student's test score falls relative to a known threshold. Dr. Winters states, "Essentially, our procedure compares the outcomes of students whose score fell just above the eligibility threshold (and thus were likely to be promoted) to those whose score fell just below the eligibility threshold (and thus were likely to be retained and remediated). The idea behind the procedure is that students whose scores are just above and below the eligibility threshold are very similar to each other at baseline and thus any differences in their later outcomes must be due to the likelihood of treatment."
Assistant Professors Dissertation Highlighted
An article from Dr. Patrick McGuire's dissertation was highlighted on the Child Care & Early Education(Research Connections) website. Dr. McGuire states, "The article is designed to help teachers improve their ability to teach young children mathematics." Dr. McGuire discusses Five-frames which are used to create a visual representation for numbers; these can be interactive for young children. Using five-frames as an instructional tool can facilitate mathematical learning and development. Specifically, the ability to physically manipulate the five-frames support counting and the development of number sense for children in pre-kindergarten. If you have questions or would like more information about the use of Five-frames, contact Dr. McGuire pmcguire@uccs.edu

Colonel Gary A. Packard, Jr., Ph.D. to Speak on Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Thursday, September 27, 5:00-8:00PM University Center, Room 303 Colonel Gary A. Packard, Jr., Ph.D. will present on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Colonel Gary A. Packard, Jr. is the Permanent Professor and Head for the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership (DFBL) at the United States Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colorado. He also oversees the graduate education of up to 20 U.S Air Force Officers seeking a Master's Degree in Counseling and Leadership with the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) was the official United States policy on homosexuals serving in the military from December 21, 1993 to September 20, 2011. The policy prohibited military personnel from discriminating against or harassing closeted homosexual or bisexual service members or applicants, while barring openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual persons from military service. A congressional bill to repeal DADT was enacted in December 2010, specifying that the policy would remain in place until the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff certified that repeal would not harm military readiness. A July 6, 2011 ruling from a federal appeals court barred further enforcement of the U.S. military's ban on openly gay service members. President Barack Obama, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen, sent that certification to Congress on July 22, 2011, which set the end of DADT for September 20, 2011. Colonel Packard will discuss what was learned from the repeal of this policy. This event is sponsored by the Department of Counseling and Human Services and the College of Education. It is a free event for all UCCS students, staff and faculty.

The ACA Graduate Student Ethics Case Study Competition is to support the ACA Ethics Committee charge of helping educate the members of the association regarding ethical issues. The case study competition serves as an opportunity to engage graduate students (masters and doctoral level) in critically analyzing a potential ethical case and creating an appropriate ethical decision making plan to respond to the ethical situation. Specifically, this team clearly identified the ethical dilemma, proposed the action it would take, cited appropriate sections of ACA Codes of Ethical Conduct, clearly defined their steps to decision making and finally presented a paper addressing details of the case with proper citations. These winners, their names and our institution will be published in Counseling Today and posted online. For additional information about this competition and to see the winners listed on the ACA website, visit: http://www.counseling.org/competition/winners.aspxCongratulations to all of you for a job well done!!

College of Education's Intensive English Program Growing
Over the past year, the College of Education's Office of Global Programs has quietly been building their Intensive English Program (IEP) to serve the needs of English language learners on campus and in the local community. Last spring the program began with three international students and one instructor, but has rapidly grown to an enrollment of 38 students and seven instructors this semester. With students from Korea, China, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Peru, the Ivory Coast, France, Columbia, and Venezuela, the program is incredibly diverse which ensures that students are using their English skills with their classmates both inside and out of the classroom. The IEP is designed to provide service to students of the following profiles:
- Generally, 1.5 students are non-native speakers of English, frequently children of immigrants, who regularly use another language in the home environment, as their native language, while using English outside the home. These students struggle with their command of English in specific skill areas such as listening, speaking, reading or writing. These students frequently transfer to UCCS from community colleges.
- Non-native speakers of English and certain international students who are studying a degree program at UCCS. These students struggle with command of English and need assistance in their proficiency.
- International students that would like to study a degree program at UCCS but do not meet the English language requirement for admissions.
- Non-native speakers of English in the local community that would like to study English in a university setting.
The program currently has classes ranging from low intermediate through low advanced but hopes to expand these offerings as enrollment continues to grow. For more information about the Intensive English Program or if you are interested in setting up a tailored program for international students please contact Mary Hanson 719-255-3218 mhanson3@uccs.edu
