COEHDnews -- Week of Fri, August 18, 2017 Spotlight Baptist Health Foundation presents scholarship grant to COEHD<http://education.utsa.edu/spotlight/article/baptist_health_found... [Utsa] Cody Knowlton, President and CEO of Baptist Health Foundation, presents a check for $30,000 to Dr. Margo DelliCarpini, Dean of the College of Education and Human Development, to provide scholarship assistance to UTSA students. The scholarship grants provide tuition assistance to undergraduate, post graduate, and doctoral students obtaining education in an academic area which prepares students to work in health and health related occupations. Our students pursue careers as counselors, health researchers and educators, and dietitians that serve the San Antonio community. We are very thankful for the continued support of wonderful community partners like the Baptist Health Foundation of San Antonio.

Examining Mexican-American Studies, ‘A History That Was Denied’<http://tpr.org/post/examining-mexican-american-studies-history... by NORMA MARTINEZ - Texas Public Radio | Pub: 08/14 Texas Public Radio’s Norma Martinez sat down with Marco Cervantes, director of the Mexican American Studies Program at the University of Texas at San Antonio, and Lilliana Saldaña, Associate Professor in Bicultural-Bilingual Studies at the UTSA College of Education and Human Development. In Texas there was a push some years ago to get Mexican American Studies implemented in public schools, but I believe it was in 2014 that the legislature said that schools can allow Mexican American studies on a voluntary basis. It was more of an elective. So what can you tell us if there was any similar type of pushback in the legislature that happened before in Arizona? Teachers get update on new relationship restrictions<http://www.oaoa.com/news/education/ecisd/article_8da20a46... by RUTH CAMPBELL - Odessa American | Pub: 08/14 More restrictions on improper teacher/student relationships were reviewed this week by David Thompson, a professor in the University of Texas San Antonio Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. Some 3,600 Ector County Independent School District employees attended sessions Tuesday and Thursday. Sessions on Thursday were in the Bonham Middle School auditorium. Thompson has spoken to ECISD employees for the past four years. Thompson reviewed the many ways teachers could lose their certification. A couple of examples included placing a classified ad for a wife age 17 to 21 in an online Eastern European publication and answering a message from a “bored” student over the winter holiday, inviting the student over, serving her a vodka and three Crown and Cokes and fondling her. ________________________________ Publications Language policy toward equity: how bilingual teachers use policy mandates to their own ends KATHRYN HENDERSON - Bicultural-Bilingual Studies | Language and Education: 08/04 Zuniga, C.E., Henderson, K.I., & Palmer, D.K.
