Title: Gender Bias Over the Years

Abstract: The field of education has undergone many changes over the last 50 years.  The experiences of three women representing three generations of educators share many common threads.  The gender bias that each teacher experienced in her childhood and schooling shaped her approach to education and life.  My video project presents a record of some of their experiences in Lancaster, their reflections on life and their love of teaching.  Each brings a unique perspective.  Yet, they share a common element of devotion to children and their education.

Title: Inclusive Education

Abstract: For our presentation, my group will be presenting a Public Service Announcement on inclusive education. Inclusive education is having both general education students and special education students in the same classroom. We would like to present this public service announcement in hopes to spread the word about inclusion.The video that we will be presenting take place in a general education classroom, in which a special education teacher and special education student are giving their views on inclusion. Although this public service announcement was an assignment for a class, our group hopes to inform others what inclusion and inclusive education are, as well as get others to see the importance of inclusive education. Upon presenting the video, we would also like to present vocal information about inclusion and our person views on it. Overall, we are excited to present this to the public and cannot wait to get the word out about inclusion.

Title: Creative Processes in the Classroom

Abstract: I will use illustrations to summarize the results of my research regarding the positive effects of hands-on creative processes in an early childhood classroom. I hope to use my interest in drawing to show the effects of these process through comic strips and other drawings. I hope that my interactive poster will show people the importance of more hands on creative processes in the classroom to try and push for a change in the classrooms.

Title: A Latino’s experience in a Native American Setting

Abstract: Edwin Thomas Minguela, an undergraduate Early Childhood Education major, will collaborate with Carolyn Rittenhouse (MU Staff in Educational Foundations) and Dr. Beth Powers Costello (MU Faculty in Early, Middle, and Exceptional Education) to engage in an auto-ethnography as he experiences the Native American culture in the summer of 2015 by visiting the Cheyenne River Reservation with Ms. Rittenhouse. Edwin, who is a Latino and considered a minority himself, will document his experience by journaling, and photography, while also interviewing Native Americans. In what ways is the Native American culture and Latino culture similar? Different? This work has potential relevance for both Native American people and those from Non-Native Backgrounds. Native Americans could benefit from sharing their stories and celebrating their successes in overcoming great difficulty. In addition, Non-Native people have the potential to understand the struggles and strengths of Native Americans and other minorities.
