CEHD Research In Press: March 2022

NEWS 

Diana D’Amico Pawlewicz was awarded a research grant from the Spencer Foundation entitled, “Racialized Experiences of Black Applicants in the Teacher Labor Market” Spencer Foundation  

Dr. Joonkil Ahn’s (Educational leadership) doctoral dissertation, Leadership for Learning and Teacher Self-Efficacy as the Antecedents of Teacher Collaboration, Instructional Quality, Intended Turnover, and Equitable Teaching Practice from the University of Illinois, was selected to receive a third award from the American Educational Research Association: Division A: Administration, Organization, & Leadership Outstanding Dissertation. 

Congratulations CEHD graduate students Kaisa Siipola (Higher Education student) and Makinde Omojiba (EFR PhD student) for receiving first and second place, respectively, in the “Professional, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts” UND GRAD event on March 3, 2022. 

Salahuddin Muhammad (EFR PhD student) published a book entitled “50 Years of Education in Bangladesh” in February 2022. The book depicted the policy and development of Primary and Secondary level education in Bangladesh in the last 50 years.  The book will help the policymakers, researchers and educationists for taking future initiatives to ensure quality education and make evidence-based policies in Bangladesh. 

Dr. Grant Tomkinson launched Australia’s fourth Physical Activity Report Card for Children and Youth, which is themed Reboot—Reimagining physically active lives. This initiative was started in 2013 and initially led by Dr. Tomkinson, although more recently is on the executive committee. Using a harmonized process and a standardized grading framework, the report reviews the available data and synthesizes the evidence to assign grades to 10 indicators related to individual physical activity behaviors, as well as sources of influence and strategies and investments. 

Please join us for the CEHD Research Fair! The event will take place on Thursday, April 7 from 11 am to 4 pm and showcase research by CEHD faculty and graduate students with presentations of 12 papers and over 20 posters (see CEHD Research Fair Flyer). The talks can be viewed on campus in Education Room 113, as well as virtually (link forthcoming). Snacks, refreshments, and coffee will be served.
