PRESS:
Exciting new opportunity to present research at UTSA |
We are pleased to announce that the Center for Research and Policy in Education
(CRPE) at the UTSA College of Education and Human Development (COEHD) will sponsor a research-oriented seminar series, the Policy and Research in Education Seminar Series (PRESS), which will provide a platform for graduate students and faculty across campus
to discuss their current research and receive feedback on works-in-progress. We would like to invite our UTSA colleagues from across different disciplines, including but not limited to education, psychology, sociology, public policy, demography, and economics,
to present at and attend PRESS. We are particularly interested in research on educational issues related to underserved and underrepresented students from early childhood through K-12 and into higher education and the workforce.
Presentations will be held once a month (see schedule below). Each session will be 90 minutes long, featuring two presentations (45 minutes for each presenter, including Q&A). We expect to kick off the series on October 18 and we are NOW accepting requests
to present during Fall 2018 (for sessions in October, November, and December 2018). Much, though not all, of what we present at PRESS is work in progress, so feel free to come with new ideas or projects in their preliminary stages - finished papers are not
expected.
Fall 2017 Schedule
Wednesday, October 18 from 1-2:30pm*
Tuesday, November 14 from 1-2:30pm*
Wednesday, December 13 from 1-2:30pm*
*specific location to be announced
Additionally, we are planning to host roundtable presentations (perhaps at the end of this semester or early next semester) for individuals interested in getting feedback on ideas for research or ongoing projects. If you are interested in presenting in a roundtable
format instead, please indicate so following the process below.
If you are interested in presenting, please complete this form by Monday, October 9th; if you have any questions about PRESS, feel free to email Bryan Duarte (bryan.duarte@utsa.edu)
or Ripsimé Bledsoe (ripsime.bledsoe@utsa.edu).
We hope to announce the presentation calendar with logistical details soon.
We look forward to learning more about your research and seeing you at the presentations! |

Plans to Tackle Poverty One School at a Time |
by BEKAH
MCNEEL - The Rivard Report | Pub: 10/11
|
“I’ve never spoken to a parent who said they didn’t care about the
education of their children,” University of Texas at San Antonio researcher Bekisizwe S. Ndimande said, but many of the ways parents choose to pursue that education exacerbate inequity, pulling their children away from high-poverty peers.

Getting kids to read books can be a challenge. Now, there’s a new tool
that’s making its way into classrooms: augmented reality books. Augmented reality books use smartphones or tablets and add 3-D models and interactive video to traditional books. In Texas, teachers are working to ensure the books aren’t a toy.
