Professor of Education\, for an upcoming Faculty Research Talk\, Want your child to be a strong reader? Prioritize social-emotional learning. \nPresenters will begin by discussing their topic\, and each session will close with a question and answer segment. All presentations are virtual and free and the Zoom link will be sent the day before this discussion. \nThe topics of elementary reading education and social-emotional learning (SEL) frequently appear in current news headlines\, often as a subject of debate. However\, many (if not all!) teachers and families would agree that we want our children to be confident\, capable readers and writers\, and that we also want them to be able to participate in classroom and community life\, get along with their peers\, develop their talents\, and learn to make responsible decisions. This talk will lay out the theoretical and empirical support behind how teaching SEL in school can positively support children’s literacy development\, and vice versa. Practical suggestions will be given for how teachers and families of elementary-aged children can leverage synergies between SEL and literacy; for example\, criteria for selecting read-aloud picture books that can address goals in both content areas. \nRegister URL:https://wheatoncollege.edu/event/faculty-research-talk-8/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Academic,Alumni,Faculty & Staff,Students,Virtual ORGANIZER;CN="Alumni Relations":MAILTO:alum@wheatoncollege.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240404T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240404T190000 DTSTAMP:20260430T132048 CREATED:20240222T144646Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240307T035441Z UID:10006558-1712250000-1712257200@wheatoncollege.edu SUMMARY:Free MTEL Prep Sessions DESCRIPTION:The Education Department is providing free prep sessions for the Communication & Literacy MTEL from 5-7 PM on Thursday\, April 4 & Monday\, April 8. This exam is required to earn your teaching license. \nLocation: Meneely 103 \nThe Thursday session will be on the Reading subtest and the Monday session will be on the Writing subtest. \nThe instructor will focus on reviewing your questions about the practice tests (click links below).

Professor of English\, for an upcoming Faculty Research Talk\, Abbey Lincoln’s Spiritual Roots. \nPresenters will begin by discussing their topic\, and each session will close with a question and answer segment. All presentations are virtual and free and the Zoom link will be sent the day before this discussion. \nDescription: In this talk\, I examine Abbey Lincoln’s rootedness in spirituality as evinced in her poetry and songwriting from the latter part of her career. Her albums\, Talking to the Sun (1983)\, Devil’s Got Your Tongue (1992)\, Wholly Earth (1999)\, as well as poems from her unpublished collection\, In a Circle\, Everything is Up\, reveal her lifelong identity as a fervent roots-seeker\, a spiritual sojourner in search of truth and understanding. \nA multifaceted artist whose career traversed the Civil Rights and Black Arts Movements\, and intersected with Black feminisms and Pan-Africanist discourses\, Lincoln’s concerns frequently echo those of other writers and artists of the various eras through which she lived. Lincoln’s thematic eclecticism is a hallmark of her songwriting\, poetry\, and prose\, however her work remains rooted in a deeply personal and spiritual exploration. This talk explores the motifs of this spiritual sojourn emerging from Lincoln’s latter works\, as based upon the archival research that I have conducted for my manuscript on Lincoln’s life in letters\, Aminata: Abbey Lincoln’s Song of Faith\, to be published by Rutgers University Press. \nRegister URL:https://wheatoncollege.edu/event/faculty-research-talk-11/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Academic,Alumni,Faculty & Staff,Students,Virtual ORGANIZER;CN="Alumni Relations":MAILTO:alum@wheatoncollege.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240423T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240423T190000 DTSTAMP:20260430T132048 CREATED:20240423T124339Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240423T135204Z UID:10006593-1713895200-1713898800@wheatoncollege.edu SUMMARY:Career Networking Speaker Series: Brian Smiley DESCRIPTION:Interested in Apple?
