COE/AD Henderson/¼ø»Æʦapp High Present at FERA
by Teresa Crane | Tuesday, Dec 04, 2018
¼ø»Æʦapp College of Education was represented at the 63rd annual meeting of the Florida Educational Research Association (FERA) in St. Petersburg by five faculty members, seven doctoral ¼ø»Æʦapp, and nine A.D. Henderson/¼ø»Æʦapp High School teachers.  The conference recorded its highest number of attendees and sessions to date and marked the second year for the innovative Teacher Inquiry strand that highlights the research being done in the state of Florida by our PK-12 teachers.
This year Michelle Vaughan-McGovern, Ed.D., and nine teachers from A.D. Henderson/¼ø»Æʦapp High School traveled together to present the outcome of their work.  Throughout the Fall semester, the teachers took part in an onsite course titled "Teacher as Researcher" with Vaughan and developed action research projects in their individual classrooms.  The outcome of this collaboration impacted their growth as researchers as well as practitioners and the group presented to a packed room at the conference about their experience.
¼ø»Æʦapp representatives also had the pleasure of meeting keynote speaker W. James Popham, Ed.D. who dedicated thirty years to teaching education at UCLA. He formerly served as president of the American Educational Research Association (AERO), is the founding editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis and was appointed to the National Assessment Governing Board by previous U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan.
FERA was established with the purpose of endorsing the investigation, research and discussion of educational problems and issues that have affected Florida. ¼ø»Æʦapp Associate Professor MarÃa Vásquez, Ph.D., serves as a Director on the FERA Board, Associate Editor of the FERA Journal and Program Review Chair. She was awarded two certificates of appreciation for her roles as Associate Editor and Paper Proposal Review Committee Chair.
