FUTURE EDUCATORS OF AMERICA June 23 – August 1, 2008 Maggie Lane – 443-885-3748 – Maggie.Lane@morgan.edu The Future Educators of America is a program to identify, recruit, and prepare high potential minority students to enter college and select a career in teaching. Middle and high school students receive academic enrichment experiences that enhance their academic skills and provide the motivation needed to prepare them for college. This program is designed to spark the interest of African American students to pursue a college education, provide early practical teaching and tutoring experiences for middle and high school students, and to improve their academic achievement. Middle and high school students learn about teaching by providing instruction to elementary school students. Future teachers are given opportunities to display leadership abilities in directing elementary students in following directions, displaying positive behavior, and utilizing strategies in teaching each subject area. The ultimate goal is to expose middle and high school students to the field of teaching. Elementary students are presented with positive role models. They are exposed to enrichment and extended experiences in social studies, science, language arts, mathematics, and computer technology. Students’ exposure to the college campus is an important element in the program. The program operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The total number of participants in this program is 140 elementary students and 30-35 middle and high school students. The age range of the participants is 6 to 18 years of age. Parental involvement is an asset in this program. Many parents come with their children and assist with science, other projects and in the computer laboratory. The wealth of the program lies in its provision for low-income family, inner city youth, to have an opportunity to see and to experience the joy of helping others to learn.

The framework for the research development program is divided into three categories: critical thinking and literature, critical thinking and research and critical thinking and peer review. Each category relies on the “The Thinker’s Guide Library” published by the Foundation for Critical Thinking. Each student receives the Critical Thinking Mini Guide and faculty mentors have access to the Thinkers Guide Library. Students will also conduct research in various research labs at Morgan State University. The CBCSR successfully will integrate the following framework in the 2008 Summer Research Development Program. Critical Thinking and Literature – The intent is to dismiss the idea of an individual approach to scientific problems. There is often a lack of appreciation for project history. This is partially attributed to the complex nature of scientific literature. This component of the program teaches students how to read a scientific article and extract key information. The process starts with a cursory read of a scientific article. A glossary of unfamiliar terms is generated. The article was analyzed using the CT module “Template for Analyzing the Logic of an Article”. This technique is then applied to scientific article relating to their specific research project and presented to the group in an oral presentation. Critical Thinking and Research – This component was designed to integrate critical thinking skills into laboratory research. Students are engaged in a discussion of the nature of experimentation. They are provided a copy of the inquiry based laboratory and design an experiment using CT module “The Logic of an Experiment”. After the experiment, the “Post Experiment Analysis” is applied and research reports are written. Students apply CT concepts to write their research abstracts and final report. Critical Thinking and Peer Review – The intent is to teach students to critically review and revise their written communications. Students performed peer reviews of the following deliverables using CT modules and scoring rubrics: inquiry based lab reports, research abstracts, poster presentations and research reports. Research reports are revised each summer. Students are strongly encouraged to update their posters before each conference presentation.
POSITIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AIMING FOR SUCCESS June 16 – June 27, 2008 Dr. Glenda M. Prime – 443-885-1908 – Glenda.Prime@morgan.edu This is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project that aims to enhance the achievement and graduation rate of African American middle and high school science students through professional development of their teachers. The professional development will give teachers enhanced skills in the use of inquiry approaches to science teaching while giving them the techniques for motivating their students. Activities
Costs The institute is funded by NSF under its DR K-12 Program. Teachers receive a stipend of $100/day for participation in the institute.
