The University of Wisconsin-Platteville College of Liberal Arts and Education Faculty Forum Series will continue on Thursday, Nov. 3 with a presentation by Dr. Douglas Adams and Dr. Edina Haslauer titled “Building a Rurally Responsive Place-Based Education Program.”
Adams and Haslauer aim to respond to the Wisconsin Idea and the teacher shortage through their qualitative longitudinal Quality Improvement study.
The presenters stated that, “For our new kindergarten through ninth grade major, we engage with cutting edge, rurally responsive, place-based and critical pedagogies with social justice emphasis. This study allows us to assess what works and what can be improved as we train teachers for our ever-changing rural schools and classrooms.”
Open to the public, the forum will take place in Room 136, Doudna Hall from 5-6:30 p.m. Refreshments will be provided.
The LAE Faculty Forum Series, a program instituted in the fall of 2004, is sponsored by UW-Platteville's College of Liberal Arts and Education. The purpose of the forum is to allow faculty to present information in their research areas. Presenters tailor their presentations to a general audience.
