Dear colleagues, I wanted to share a MAS policy report written by Dr. Alice Ginsberg for Rutgers University's Samuel Dewitt Proctor Institute for Leadership, Equity and Justice. This is the first official report on MAS in Texas k-12 schools and focuses on the work we've been doing here in San Antonio over the past few years since the Texas State Board of Education's approval of ethnic studies in 2015. The report: "Leading from a hyphen: A conocimientos movement to integrate Mexican American Studies into Texas schools" includes a list of comprehensive recommendations to support MAS and ethnic studies in schools, colleges and universities, and teacher education programs. Big thanks to all the MAS expert teachers who participated in this report --- many who are UTSA alumni -- Genevie C. Rodriguez-Quiñones (MAS and BBL), Araceli Manriquez (MAS and BBL), Anthony Gonzales, Anita Exilda Cisneros (ILT), Andres Lopez, and Dr. Elizabeth Rivas (BBL alumna and MAS faculty) --- and much gratitude to Dr. Marie Miranda who founded the academy, Dr. Gloria Gonzales, and Dr. Marco Cervantes, and all of our community allies, civil rights leaders, and community of NACCS Tejas Foco MAS K-12 scholars who have been at the center of this epistemic movement! You can access the report here: https://proctor.gse.rutgers.edu/sites/default/files/LeadershipReport3_R4%...<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fproctor...> I've also included a digitized copy.

Data Day Friday, 9-10

by Michael Vriesenga

This is a friendly reminder about the upcoming PD session titled, "Data Interpretation & Program Implications" that is scheduled for Friday, April 30th from 9am-11am. The heart of Friday's meeting will be exploring data using Power BI. Much of the data will be teacher preparation data, but I hope you will see the potential in the instrument and brainstorm how you can use it in your specialty.

Attached is the COEHD Grant Salary Buyout Worksheet required for any outgoing grant buying out a % of 9-month contract time

by Michael Karcher

Dear faculty, This is a reminder of info sent out previously, but is important. Any outgoing grant that includes a request to buyout a percentage of time from a faculty member’s 9-month salary must include a completed Buyout Worksheet, whether the buyout is for a course (10% of 9-month salary) or for research time (a % up to maximum on one’s research time in workload agreement). Each investigator must complete and sign this. If course buyout is requested, the chair must sign it as well. All proposals using grant funds to buy out faculty time from their 9-month contract (for course buyout or research time buyout) need to upload a Buyout Worksheet<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ub8fkSgLVkhkK1KCHJiTb4Y5JMl1PxNSc8VEn...> into CAYUSE 5 days before funder due date. For course buyouts, both the Department Chair and Investigator must sign the form. If no Buyout Worksheet is included for an investigator with the proposal, then that investigator becomes ineligible for the new salary savings return opportunity. To ensure your eligibility for a share of the salary savings returned, be sure to submit a completed form with outgoing proposals. The other eligibility criteria is to fulfill your obligation to upload necessary documents for review 5 days prior to funder deadline, and have all final documents uploaded and PI approval of the routed proposal in CAYUSE 2 days prior to funder due date. I’m going to send a separate reminder about the importance of meeting the 5-2 rule which is less about how it will benefit you to do so, but about how it adversely affects others when faculty don’t do this. It’s important faculty are aware of how delayed proposals affect others in the university. Thank you and let me know if you have any questions about this, Michael Michael J. Karcher, Ed.D., Ph.D. Associate Dean for Research Professor of Educational Psychology College of Education and Human Development (COEHD)—UTSA COEHD-Office of the Dean, MB 3.304D (Main Campus) (210) 458-2032 (Direct); 458-2650 (Department); 458-5200 (Dean’s Office) michael.karcher(a)utsa.edu<mailto:michael.karcher@utsa.edu>
