Dear ESRI Conference Participant, Thank you for choosing to participate in the 12th annual Educational Symposium for Research and Innovations (ESRI) at The George Washington University, Graduate School of Education and Human Development. ESRI is a student-led academic conference that highlights student and alumni research and innovations in education. Our 2015 conference includes a variety of sessions devoted to scholarly papers, research and practice-oriented symposia, poster presentations, and professional development seminars. In addition to student-led research, ESRI includes a variety of events, including scholarship development panels, and professional development seminars. The theme for the opening session on Saturday February 28th is Community Organizing as a Catalyst for School Reform. Our keynote speaker is Dr. Mark R. Warren, an associate professor of public policy and public affairs at the University of Massachusetts Boston. He is the author of A Match on Dry Grass: Community Organizing as a Catalyst for School Reform (2011) and Transforming Public Education: The Need for an Educational Justice Movement (2014). Complimenting the keynote address, GSEHD’s Drs. Arshad Ali and Brian Casemore will offer a closing session describing their own community-engaged research agendas. Congratulations are in order to the 2015 recipients of the Best Paper Award and Emerging Scholar Awards. A complete list of the honorees and publication titles are published on p. 6 of the Conference Program and will be showcased throughout the ESRI 2015 conference. Finally, a big thank you is in order to the presenters, paper discussants, volunteers, and the ESRI Leadership Team that made ESRI 2015 possible. The Graduate School of Education and Human Development has the potential to be a prominent voice in the national dialogue on education and our emerging scholars will certainly be leaders in the conversation. Sincerely,

Dr. Michael J. Feuer Dean, Graduate School of Education and Human Development

 

 

ESRI Purpose and Vision Educational Symposium for Research and Innovations (ESRI) provides strategic and significant support for the advancement of academic excellence and professional development for students and alumni of The George Washington University, Graduate School of Education and Human Development. The mission of ESRI is to foster scholarly and professional development of students and alumni of the Graduate School of Education and Human Development.

• Support for the advancement of academic excellence in educational research among graduate students. • An academic homecoming in which students and alumni can learn from each other, and where alumni can

reconnect with their scholarly interests and rekindle friendships with faculty and colleagues. • An opportunity for prospective students to engage with faculty, students, and alumni; to learn about the

GSEHD community and our scholarly endeavors; and to discover why they should join us for fulfillment of their educational goals.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZING AS A CATALYST FOR SCHOOL REFORM

Dr. Mark R. Warren

The persistent failure of public education in low-income communities and communities of color constitutes one of our nation's most pressing civil rights and social justice issues. In this talk, Mark Warren shows how community organizing represents a promising approach to school reform as part of a broader agenda to build power for low-income communities and address the profound socio-economic and racial inequalities that affect the education of children. Drawing from examples of organizing efforts across the country, Warren shows how organizing groups build the participation and leadership of parents and students so they can become powerful actors in school improvement efforts. They also work to overcome divisions and create the collaborations between educators and community residents required for deep and sustainable school reform. In the end, community organizing provides a key foundation for a broader movement to create the kind of transformational change necessary to advance educational equity and a robust democracy.

Mark R. Warren is Associate Professor of Public Policy and Public Affairs at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. He is lead author of A Match on Dry Grass: Community Organizing as a Catalyst for School Reform, (New York: Oxford University Press, 2011) and author of “Transforming Public Education: The Need for an Educational Justice Movement,” (New England Journal of Public Policy, 2014) available at: http://scholarworks.umb.edu

Copies of A Match on Dry Grass: Community Organizing as a Catalyst for School Reform will be raffled during this session. Book copies were generously donated by the Higher Education Student Association (HEA).

The Realities of Conducting Community-Engaged Research in Education:

A Conversation with Drs. Arshad Ali and Brian Casemore.

Drs. Ali and Casemore provide an overview of common problems faced by community-engaged educational researchers. The panelists discuss their personal research projects, including research designs and theoretical frameworks as well as strategies for community engagement. The conversation will illustrate multiple modes of inquiry responsive to the needs of local communities. Audience members are encouraged to share their perspectives and questions about community-engaged research.

Dr. Arshad Ali, Assistant Professor of Educational Research Dr. Ali is multi-disciplinary educator, youth worker, and scholar who studies youth culture, race, identity, and democratic engagement in educational practice. He examines how youth identities are mediated by macro economic, political and social realities. Dr. Brian Casemore, Associate Professor of Curriculum and Pedagogy Dr. Casemore teaches courses in curriculum theory, English education, human development, and social diversity. Brian is the co-director of Community-Engaged Teaching (CET), a program option in Secondary Education that prepares teachers to foster community in classrooms and schools through academic study and engagement with larger civic and social spheres. His research focuses on autobiographical inquiry and psychoanalytic conceptions of educational experience.

 

 

FAQs for ESRI Presenters and Faculty Discussants

PRESENTATIONS What is the format for each session? Scholarly paper sessions (research findings, research design proposal, literature review, policy analysis, etc.) will be 50 minutes in length and will feature up to two student presentations per session. The Faculty Discussant will use 5 minutes to introduce the session and presenters. Student presenters will speak in the order listed in the conference program and will be given 10 minutes each to present. The discussants will then comment on the presentations based on the papers submitted by the students (15 minutes total). The remaining time will be available for audience questions. The Faculty Discussant will monitor time usage. The Faculty Discussant also serves as timekeeper for the presenters. Each presenter is limited to 10 minutes to make his/her remarks. The Faculty Discussant may cut off a presenter if he/she goes over the time limit. Time placards will be placed in the breakout room to notify students of the 2-minute and 1-minute mark. What equipment is available for my presentation? A LCD projector and screen will be provided for use during the presentation sessions. Please note that presenters will need to bring his/her own laptop computer. Also, the LCD projector will only work with Mac computers by using the Mac-Projector adapter cord. Placing both presentations on one computer will dramatically improve the flow of the conference session. How should I prepare for my presentation? If presenters choose to use PowerPoint for the presentation, make sure to format slides such that there is an appropriate amount of information on each slide. Remember to use larger fonts so audience members in the back of the room may see the presentation. As some rooms have windows, account for bright rooms and dim projectors. The use of high contrast text and backgrounds can resolve this issue. Presenters may also prepare handouts for the audience to follow along and take notes. Average audience sizes tend to be between 15–20 individuals. Remember, ESRI is developmental in nature. If you have a question, please ask someone!

Help us keep the conference cost effective and sustainable. Please recycle your nametag at the end of the conference. Receptacles are located at the registration desk on the 3rd floor lobby.

Your feedback is important!

Please remember to complete and return your conference
