Les Goodchild recently organized and conducted a national workshop, the first Early Career Faculty Teaching Workshop, for the Council for the Advancement of Higher Education Programs at the Association for the Study of Higher Education annual meeting in Jacksonville, Florida from November 5 to 6. As the council’s elected program chair, he designed the workshop that brought together 27 assistant professors from around the country, who were nominated by the program directors, to hear and participate in panels on teaching five different content areas in higher education (namely, history of higher education, curriculum and instruction, diversity and gender, administration and organization, and faculty issues) and on dissertation advising. Senior faculty from the University of Michigan, Columbia University’s Teachers College, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Pennsylvania, University of Kansas, University of Massachusetts Boston, Seton Hall University, and Santa Clara University comprised these two invited panels.
At the workshop, Goodchild presented an opening address, “Joy and Hunger: Listening to the Voice of Vocation in Your Life,” prepared by Professor Jennifer Haworth, Loyola University of Chicago, participated in the invited panel presentation on dissertation advising by giving, “Assisting the Dissertation Researcher,” and offered the introductory remarks to the workshop’s concluding address, “Rethinking the Doctorate: Responding to Emerging Conditions,” by Dr. Chris Golde, Associate Provost for Graduate Studies at Stanford University and former Senior Scholar at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
On that weekend, Goodchild also attended the History of Education Society annual conference in Tampa, Florida from November 7 to 8, where he gave a short overview at its Business meeting of his Ad Hoc Report to the History of Education Society Board, “Preliminary Report on the Condition of the History of Education as a Requirement for the Teaching Credential and Degrees in American Schools of Education,” which had been invited by the Society’s President Harold Wechsler, professor of education at New York University.

This grant will offer 24 - $25,000 scholarships for SCU math, science or engineer majors who want to become teachers. The National Science Foundation (NSF), through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, has recently awarded Santa Clara University a five-year grant of $750,000. This grant will enable SCU’s Department of Education to offer a total of twenty-four $25,000 scholarships (over three years) to SCU undergraduates to become science or mathematics teachers through the department’s fifth-year teacher credentialing program. In exchange for receiving this grant, Noyce Teacher Scholars will be required to teach at least two years in a high-need school in either the East Side Union High School District (ESUHSD) or the San Jose Unified School District (SJUSD). Eligible candidates for the first round of eight scholarships are current seniors at SCU who (1) wish to become a science or mathematics teacher, (2) are currently majoring in mathematics, science, or engineering, and (3) are a United States citizen, national, or permanent resident alien. Interested candidates will be asked to complete a formal application for the SCU Noyce Teacher Scholarship by the middle of the winter quarter of their senior year. These applications will be made available at several informational sessions that will be held during the Fall 2008 quarter. Further details about these informational sessions and the application process will be posted on a forthcoming website in the near future.
The implementation of the NSF grant will draw upon a strong partnership that has been developed between the two local districts (ESUHSD and SJUSD) and a collaborative team at SCU that brings together faculty from the education, science, math, and engineering departments. The Principal Investigator on this grant is Dennis Smithenry, who is an Assistant Professor of Education. Smithenry brings to this grant a range of career experiences that span the fields of science research, science teaching, and science education research. Smithenry’s efforts will be supported by four Co-Principal Investigators: W. Atom Yee, Professor of Chemistry and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; Craig Stephens, Associate Professor and Chair of Biology; Melissa Gilbert, Assistant Professor of Education; and Ruth Davis, Professor of Computer Engineering and Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies.
