A MESSAGE FROM INTERIM DEAN
DAVID WHITENACK
|
| |
|
| |
Dear LCOE colleagues,
Thank you very much for your kind, encouraging words and offers of support as I prepare to serve in an interim role. With our dear Dean Heather Lattimer’s pending departure at the end of the month, we find ourselves in a time of transition. While such a change inevitably involves a degree of uncertainty, I hope that we can collectively center gratitude for what we’ve built together with Heather and each other. With that grateful spirit, I’m excited to continue collaborating with all of you and members of the broader LCOE community to build upon Heather’s legacy as we continue to prioritize our values while serving our students and the region through our programs, partnerships, and other initiatives.
In the weeks and months ahead, I look forward to connecting with you to learn about your hopes for yourself, the LCOE, and our shared work. At this stage of my career, I’m most passionate about supporting others and connecting people and their ideas in pursuit of shared goals. Please reach out if there's anything I can do to support you.
The (now Lurie) College of Education at SJSU has provided me with a professional home since 1996. During that time, faculty and staff colleagues–the family sharing the home–have offered collaboration, friendship, and support, which I feel so fortunate and grateful to have received. It’s a privilege to be able to give back through stewardship as interim dean.
Onward ever,
David

EDUCATION, ETHICS, &
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
|
| |
|
| |
A note from Interim Associate Dean Ellen Middaugh, Ph.D.
Dear Lurie College Community:
Over the summer, we held a convening as part of the
Education, Ethics and Emerging Technologies initiative to discuss the implications of AI and other emerging technologies for our teaching, research, and the future society our students will be preparing for.
Growing out of a robust conversation, we would like to invite our LCOE Community to contribute and explore with us! Please note the following events and opportunities:
- K-12 Educator Panel: Join our panel of K-12 teachers Johanna Paraiso, Clay Hale, Ed Campos, and Eric Cross for a discussion of how they are adapting to AI in their classrooms and their work with students. Wednesday February 12th at 5pm on Zoom. RSVP Here.
- E3 Mini Grants: Faculty, Staff and Students (with faculty advisor) can apply for up to $2500 for research, experimentation or development of projects that will provide insight into the implications of AI/Emerging Technology for our collective work. Due Feb. 20th apply here
- Navigating Ethical AI Through Exploration and Design. Workshop with Abigail Joseph, Monday March 3, 2:30-4:00 PM (RSVP Here)
Dive into the ethical dimensions of AI and its implications for education. Start by exploring cutting-edge AI tools that uncover the complexities of algorithmic bias and the ethical challenges in AI design in the areas of facial recognition, autonomous decision-making, and responsible use. Reflect on their societal applications and discuss how these tools can spark meaningful learning experiences for your students. Then, step into a hands-on activity with Stanford d.school's "I Love Algorithms" game to reimagine how machine learning can inspire innovative, responsible teaching strategies. Walk away with practical ideas to engage students in ethical AI discussions and foster critical thinking about technology’s role in society.

Prior to getting your blood pressure tested, it’s a good idea to:
• Avoid drinking coffee or smoking cigarettes for 30 minutes prior to the test. These actions may cause a short-term rise in your blood pressure.
• Go to the bathroom before the test. Having a full bladder can change your blood pressure reading.
• Sit for 5 minutes before the test. Movement can cause short-term rises in blood pressure.

LCOE STUDENT HARDSHIP FUND
|
| |
|
| |
The Connie L. Lurie College of Education makes funds available to support students who have experienced an unforeseen financial hardship that will prevent them from continuing their enrollment. Most often cited are the challenges of meeting the costs of living (transportation, rent, and other expenses) during the unpaid student teaching/ counseling requirements for becoming an educator.
|
| |
|
| |
"I am very grateful to have received the Hardship Grant! Because of the funding, the cost of gas for my internship has been covered which is really helpful for me. I'm really grateful that the Hardship Grant exists because it increases the equity for students who are financially insecure. Thank you so much to the committee and donors!"
