Change inhigher education occursjust as it doesC.Wood,Dean,Paulaeverywhere else –College of Educationacademic programschange to meet new national and professional standards;the faculty changes as individuals retire and new faculty arehired; individual students change their viewpoints oroutlook during the course of their studies, and the studentbody as a whole changes as people graduate and newstudents—often increasingly diverse—are admitted.An important change occurred at Wayne State Universitythis past year with the August 1, 2008 appointment of Dr.Jay Noren as the university’s 10th president. For over twentyyears President Noren was a faculty member at theUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison where he developed anddirected the Wisconsin Center for Health Policy andProgram Evaluation, and also created the university’sgraduate program in administrative medicine. Additionally,he has held appointments at Texas A&M and the Universityof Minnesota (where he earned two undergraduatedegrees and his medical degree) and the University ofWashington. At the University of Nebraska, where Dr.Noren served just prior to his appointment at WSU, he heldnumerous leadership roles, including executive vicepresident and provost. Dr. Noren was also the foundingdean of the university’s College of Public Health. Hisresearch and teaching emphases are health policy andpolitics and health services leadership and management, aswell as the operation of academic health centers.During his first semester at WSU, President Noren hasbeen busy meeting with the faculty and administration ofthe university’s schools and colleges to get acquainted withtheir personnel, goals and challenges, and to share histhoughts about moving the university forward in difficulteconomic times. On December10th Dr. Noren attended the monthly College of Education(COE) Faculty and Academic Staff Assembly, where hisaudience listened with interest to his views regarding therole of an education college on a university campus and inthe community.President Noren has stated publicly that higher educationtoday has a more central role to play in addressing thecomplex problems of society than at any other time inhistory. And, further, that trends in America’s urban areasmean that urban universities have the preeminent role forfacilitating economic development and societal stability. Hehas indicated that he believes that no other highereducation institution is more strategically placed thanWayne State University for this role, emphasizing the“emerging, unmatched partnership” with the UniversityResearch Corridor, which focuses on Wayne State’s positionin Detroit, the state, and nationally.In public speeches President Noren has outlined the fourmajor issues that he believes WSU is well-placed to addresswith its resources: 1) transformation of the challengedeconomy; 2) educational revitalization – access toeducation and encouragement of diversity that reflectswhat we are as a country, including efforts to remove allbarriers to higher education, particularly for underservedpopulations; 3) addressing urban stress and the resultingcomplex public issues; and, perhaps most important, 4)instilling, particularly in undergraduates, the value ofcitizenship: commitment to lifelong community activismand engagement that is enhanced through creativethinking and awareness, and an understanding of thesurrounding environment, whatever that might be.At a meeting with theuniversity community earlyin his tenure, Dr. Norenstated that access andretention at WSU are criticalissues. He pointed out thatWayne State University has along tradition as a universityof opportunity and access,and that a central principlefor society is for citizens tohave an opportunity topursue higher education.

This collaborative partnership,between a city department and a universitylaboratory preschool, lasted for 39 years.In 1996, the College of Education Early ChildhoodCenter moved to the University Towers Apartmentbuilding, located on Wayne State University’s campus.The program has expanded to serve more than 50children, most of who are enrolled in the MichiganDepartment of Education School Readiness Program,a state-funded preschool program for four-year olds.Participating families are WSU students, staff, faculty,and children from the community at large.The Early Childhood Center is part of the TeacherEducation Division (TED) within the College ofEducation. The center prepares College of Educationstudents, both undergraduate and graduate, specializing in working with children from birth throughsecond grade. These Elementary Education teacherpreparation students – working on their earlychildhood endorsements – have one semester ofstudent teaching at the ECC.The center also offers to the community parenteducation and child development information aswell as professional development training. It hasbeen the college’s site for early childhood teacherpreparation for COE students since its beginning.Interestingly, Dr. Sharon Elliott, associate professorof Elementary Education, former TED assistant deanand former director of the Early Childhood Center,points out that early locations of the ECC actuallyextend beyond its home at the Jeffries Homes. Infact, early childhood education practice teaching forCOE students was happening at other DPS schoolsas early as the 1930’s at Detroit’s RooseveltElementary School, according to Dr. Elliott’s records.Anna Miller has served as director of the EarlyChildhood Center (ECC) since 2003; previous to thatshe was supervising teacher and assistant director(1990-2003) and supervising teacher (1984-1990).This past year she was given an additionalassignment – executive director of the ECC and theMerrill Palmer Skillman Institute’s ChildDevelopment Laboratory (CDL), which will nowcollaborate on providing services for children andresearch opportunities for faculty.

This large-scale, cross-culturalcustomized instructional design and performanceimprovement project is for the Dubai Mall, the largestmall in the world, which opened November 4, 2008 andemploys over 500 workers from several countries.Due to the multi-national make-up of the workforce,the WSU team has been recruited to provide customized,multi-cultural instruction and to conduct research on theeffectiveness of their efforts. The team is slated to workon this project for the next couple years as building inDubai continues.WSU resources from outside of the COE will includefaculty and students in the College of Engineering andtranslators from the WSU International Studies program.The intent is to use as many of the available resources aspossible from WSU as the need arises. Gulf State Realty,which recruited Dr. Tracey to head this project, is excitedto have the international expertise the WSU students andfaculty provide in addition to the InstructionalTechnology expertise from the College of Education.The workforce, with employees from Bangladesh,Nepal, India and the Philippines, work in the Mall invarious positions, from maintenance to supervising workgroups. There is no common language and many of theworkers do not have the skill sets necessary to performthe jobs, so the goal for the WSU team is to customizeinstruction to teach workers from these four differentcultures how to communicate with one another toeffectively perform their jobs. Instruction will include allof the functions needed to clean the mall, instruction onteams and how teams function, supervisor instruction,and cultural awareness instruction. When asked how theproject is progressing, Dr. Tracey responded that “thework we are doing in Dubai is revolutionary to this partof the world. Emaar Property representatives, thecorporation who asked for our assistance as theycontinue to develop large scale real estate properties andemploy people to work in those properties, are enthusedto have the expertise an International University likeWayne State University offers. Emaar’s executives have avision, and are looking to WSU to be instrumental inhelping them achieve that vision.”Dr. Jazlin Ebenezer serves as the principal investigatorof the NSF-Translating Information Technologies intoClassrooms. Based on the theoretical assumption thatdevelopment of fluency in innovative technologies is animportant prerequisite for learning science and conductingauthentic science inquiry, Dr. Ebenezer is currently involvedin the following research activities: (1) Gathering empiricaldata and demonstrating evidence on issues surroundinghigh school students learning to use IT while conductingscientific inquiry, and students learning to conduct scientificinquiry using IT. (2) Measuring change in (a) students’perceptions of their fluency in innovative technologies; and(b) students’ affective dispositions (attitudes, perceptions,and self-confidence) in science learning after theirexperiences with long-term environmental researchprojects.IT assistant professor Dr. MichaelBarbour has established twovoluntary reading/research groupsthat I've established with primarilymy IT doc students (although wehave some Master's students andsome non-COE folks too). Basicallythey are monthly reading groups,BarbourMichaelbut because I do a bunch of researchin these areas, they have also provided the students withopportunities to work on various research anddevelopment projects with me. The students have hadopportunities to do literature searches; analyze data; writeup conference proposals, journalmanuscripts and publishedreports, and grant applications;create international resources;annotate bibliographies; etc. Oneof the groups is focused upongaming in education and theother is focused on K-12 onlinelearning.Gina DeBlaseDr. Gina DeBlase, associateprofessor in English Education, isconducting research onAdolescent Girls and NewLiteracies.
