Engagement Activities
1.
Academic Program-Community Partnerships





The SOE established the Scholar-Practitioner Center for the Advancement of
Educational Leadership and Learning Organizations. Drs. Barry Kanpol and Glenda
Moss initiated this endeavor. Its purpose is to sustain scholarly practice over time as a
structure for improving education and learning. Central to the proposed work of the
center is to draw in members of the IPFW community, East Allen County Schools’
community, Fort Wayne Community Schools’ community, and other local school
district communities into collaborative work around scholarship and practice.
The SOE has embarked on a new partnership with East Allen County Schools (EACS)
to produce a journal “that would combine research, dialogue, and intellectual growth
among and between various forms of educational leadership at the two educational
sites.” The journal would be housed in the new Center. The editors would be Drs.
Barry Kanpol, Glenda Moss, Kathleen Murphey, and Joe Nichols from the SOE. The
journal will be refereed with an Editorial Board to include members from IPFW and
EACS (Dr. Jeff Abbott, Superintendent of EACS), as well as other members of the
local and national education communities. We are currently in the process of
establishing an editorial board and gathering reviewers.
As an extension of this partnership relationship with EACS, one SOE faculty member,
Dr. Glenda Moss, taught Secondary English Methods and Secondary Social Studies
Methods on-site at Paul Harding High School. Her IPFW preservice English teachers
worked with nine English freshman students in a classroom setting in the spring of
2004 and fall of 2004. She and her preservice social studies teachers worked in an 11th
grade American history classroom in the spring of 2004 and in a U.S. government
classroom in the fall of 2004. In the fall of 2004, she expanded her work in schools to
include Fort Wayne Community Schools - Northrop High School and South Side High
School. Six preservice English teachers worked with 9th grade students identified for
having failed ISTEP tests in middle schools. Preservice English teachers and
preservice social studies teachers were assigned to individual teachers at Northrop High
School to complete 50 hours of service learning. Unlike earlier observations, students
designed and taught lessons.
The Dean of the SOE, Dr. Barry Kanpol, serves on the Cabinet of the Fort Wayne
Community Schools (FWCS), the governing administrative unit under the leadership of
Dr. Wendy Robinson, Superintendent of FWCS.
The SOE continues to collaborate with FWCS in the Leadership Education for
Academic Development (LEAD) Project. Through the Wallace-Reader’s Digest grant,
FWCS has established the Learning to Lead Collaborative to recruit, prepare, and
support school leaders. The Educational Leadership program at IPFW is developing
and creating a new leadership cohort program and curriculum to attract prospective
teacher-leaders. It has designed creative courses for LEAD grant candidates in the
“Exploratory Leader Academy.” This Academy is designed to allow teachers to
“explore” becoming a principal or educational administrator without giving up
teaching. The Dean is exploring other ways to use the LEAD grant with IPFW and
FWCS, such as the possibility of using faculty knowledge for summer in-services on
18
topics such as assessment, learning styles, diversity, etc. The Dean meets with the LEAD
Design Team once a month.

Dr. Amy Nitza supervised 12 school counseling interns in the fall of 2004. These
students were placed in schools representing Fort Wayne Community Schools, East
Allen County Schools, and Southwest Allen County Schools.
In Dr. Amy Nitza’s EDUC G562 class held a class meeting at the Anthis Career Center
to get to know the faculty and their programs; had a panel of speakers of practicing
school counselors from all four school districts in the community; and had an additional
community speaker.
Some SOE faculty work as a committee to design and implement the Unit Assessment
System (UAS) required by the Indiana Professional Standards Board (IPSB). EACS
represents itself on the UAS Committee.
Dr. Glenda Moss of the SOE and Karol Dehr, English Department, continue to be
involved in the Appleseed Writing Project, funded by the National Writing Project, to
conduct a summer institute for teachers. Two open workshops were conducted in 2002.
A summer institute was offered in 2003 and 2004. An urban youth writing camp was
offered for middle school age students in the summer of 2004. The third Appleseed
Writing Project Summer Institute will be hosted in 2005 and two youth camps will
serve middle school and high school students from urban schools in East Allen County
Schools and Fort Wayne Community Schools.
Dr. Jeff Nowak continues to collaborate with the Friends of Metea Organization to
involve all E328 students in the preparation of the Metea Park Project. Each fall
approximately 450 elementary-age area school children visit Metea Park to participate
in a wide variety of environmentally-based science topics and projects.
Students in Dr. Nowak’s E328 class are involved in judging Science Fairs at numerous
area schools, as well as preparing Science packets for the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo
and creating scavenger hunts for school children at the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical
Conservatory.

Accomplishment of Diversity Goals, Initiatives, and Metrics during
Calendar 2004
1.
Student Recruitment and Retention
Extensive field and supervisory experiences that faculty are involved with place
them in direct contact with diverse administrators, teachers and students in the
local school corporations. These activities allow for student recruitment in the
undergraduate and graduate programs at IPFW. Specific examples include the
movement of Dr. Moss’s undergraduate social studies and English methods
courses to on-site experiences at Paul Harding and South Side High School, and
the movement of several of Dr. Terri Swim’s early childhood courses to on-site
locations at Whitney-Young Early Childhood Center. The faculty in the
Department of Educational Studies is currently developing a 5-year strategic
plan that includes a component for increasing student diversity.
2.
Faculty and Staff Recruitment and Retention
Our current Dean, Dr. Barry Kanpol, has numerous international experiences
including educational and citizenship experiences in Australia and Israel. Dr.
Kathleen Murphey has previous international teaching experience in Germany
and China and Dr. Sheena Choi, originally from South Korea, was recently
tenured and promoted to Associate Professor. For the 2004-2005 academic
year, the Department of Educational Studies hired visiting professor, Dr. Marc
Djamou, a recent graduate from Penn State University. Dr. Djamou has
extensive experience in the areas of Social Foundations and literacy and has
previous degrees from his home country in the Ivory Coast, Africa. Dr. Djamou
taught undergraduate courses in social foundations as well as graduate courses
in social foundations and research for the fall 2004 and spring 2005 semesters.
In addition, the Department also hired Dr. Kwadwo Okra as an adjunct professor
to teach two social foundations courses for the 2004 Summer I session. Dr.
Okra originates from Ghana, South Africa and is currently an assistant professor
on the South Bend campus. The Department of Educational Studies has two
tenure-track faculty searches underway in the areas of elementary language arts
methods and reading. The search committees are currently actively recruiting
and interviewing qualified candidates for these positions. The faculty in the
Department of Educational Studies is currently developing a 5-year strategic
plan that includes a component for increasing faculty diversity.

Campus Climate
We believe the campus climate about diversity improves through all of our
efforts directed at students, faculty, and staff. Our accreditor, NCATE, also
makes high demands on us to improve diversity awareness on all fronts. We
26
feel this issue informs everything we do, and we continually seek new ways to
promote diversity initiatives.
4.
Curriculum
Embedded within and throughout the curriculum of the Department of
Educational Studies are multiple opportunities for students to experience
diversity within their university courses and in the field in terms of internships
and student teaching experiences in diverse urban settings. Multiple
opportunities for our students to work with students in settings that include more
than 70% minority student populations, more than 70-80% low-income students,
local schools that include high percentages of English as a Second Language
students, and multiple experiences with students experiencing a variety of
special education needs, provide our students with a wealth of opportunities.
Several professors in the Department center their research interests on diversity
issues that include topics of immigrant women (Dr. Hickey), Asian multinationalism and citizenship (Dr. Choi), the Holocaust (Dr. Lindquist),
marginalized populations (Dr. Moss and Dr. Murphey), and issues of local
homelessness, abuse, and special education needs (Dr. Agness). These are a few
examples where our students benefit from the research interests and experiences
of our faculty.
Drs. Parke, Crites, and Leatherman completed the proposal for the Master of
Science in Education degree with a major in Special Education. This degree
program is designed to meet the needs of a very diverse population of teachers
needing the special education license. Dr. Parke was the author of the syllabi
for all of the courses to be included in the degree, which will address diversity
of the students with special needs.
The M.S. Ed. programs in Elementary Education, Secondary Education,
Educational Leadership, and Special Education (approval pending) have
integrated a 30-hour field experience, “Service Learning for Diversity,” in
which Master’s candidates complete 10 hours of field experience in each of
three required courses by working with P-12 students in social service agency
settings, outside of their regular school day. The goal is to promote the
candidates growth in understanding and working with diverse populations of
children.
5.
Community Outreach
Faculty in the School of Education serve on major civic and community boards
in the Fort Wayne and Allen County area. See the listing under Civic
Involvement for a complete list of these activities.
