Greetings!
This third issue of our newsletter begins a three-part series about the faculty of our doctoral program in educational leadership. The leadership program has forty faculty from six of the eight colleges within the University, serving as teachers, advisors, dissertation committee members and dissertation chairs. Faculty also serves on the admissions committee, the Executive Committee as well as special committees as needed. Not only are our faculty accomplished teachers, but they are also recognized for their research and scholarship, as you will see when you read the eight profiles in this issue. We are in the initial stage of building a research agenda for program faculty and students. Last spring the Executive Committee approved a Faculty Research Fund for faculty in the leadership program, and this semester, the EC added a student research fund (see this issue for more information). These two research support programs are part of the effort to establish research partnerships between our faculty, our students and many of the schools and community colleges in the Bay Area. We hope to see the educational leadership program provide research supporting the region's schools and colleges to advance an equity agenda for all students. Sincerely,
Robert Gabriner
SFSU Ed.D.in Educational Leadership

Spotlight: Student Publication
Ed.D's David Wick Authors Study Abroad Manual
Ever so often we in the Ed.D. Department will spotlight the great work being done by students in the program both in house as well as for the larger educational community. David Wick, an Ed.D. student in Cohort 2008 and Coordinator of Study Abroad Services at San Francisco State University, has written for publication a brochure on studying abroad entitled, Study Abroad: Making It Happen, Your Guide to Taking Your Education Abroad. This brochure helps students explore the exciting possibilities of education abroad, along with giving advice and links to needed resources for planning. It covers such topics as: what is study abroad, why study abroad, deciding which type of program to choose, applying for programs, paying for education abroad, beyond "studying" abroad, and more. David has worked in international education since 1988, and with his vast knowledge of the study abroad program, David has produced a timeless work for the culture of studying abroad. This is definitely an excellent tool for any education abroad office. The Ed.D. department congratulates David on his many accomplishments, and appreciates his contributions. If you would like to take a look at the brochure, or for purchase, please click here.

This study examines the demographic conditions in which individuals will donate money to public schools. Combining school and community data from the US Census Bureau, the California Department of Education, and the National Center for Charitable Statistics, and examining every public K-12 school in the San Francisco Bay Area, this study finds that the community demographics of giving are often contradictory to the student demographics of need.

Bomer, and P.Smagorinsky, 140-152.

Nasir, N, and Cooks, J. (2009). T rack Literacy: Learning to run and becoming a runner. Anthropology and Education, 40, 1, 41-61. In this article, we present a model for thinking about how learning settings provide resources for the development of the practice-linked identities of participants, drawing on data from a study on an African American high school track and field team. What does it mean to make an identity available in the context of a learning setting? In this article, we draw on current theories in anthropology, psychology, sociology, and sociocultural theory to develop a conceptual frame that might be helpful in addressing these questions. We focus on how individuals are offered (and how they take up) identities in cultural activities. We define three types of identity resources that were made available to student-athletes learning to run track and explore how they took shape in teaching and learning interactions in track (identity, learning, African American students, culture).

Jocson, K. and Cooks, J. (forthcoming, 2010). Popular Culture and Teaching. Critical Perspectives on Education in Urban Settings by Valerie Kinloch. As high stakes testing and privatization of schools have become ultimate choices for improving the educational experiences of young people, it is all the more important to tap into the power of collaboration and innovative teaching and to pay attention to some successful ways schools have gained ground to better serve students (Borthwick, Stirling, Newman, and Cook, 2003; Jocson, 2005; Kirschenbaum & Reagan, 2001). We are not suggesting that creating partnerships or using poetry as a pedagogical tool would solve every educational crisis present in urban learning environments. Rather, we are suggesting that an examination of students' and teachers' work related to poetry can serve as one means of moving educators and other youth advocates a step closer to improving current educational practices. |

Spotlight: Student Research Fund
Advancing Key Themes of the Ed.D. program in P-12 and Community Colleges in California
New developments are forming in the Ed.D. program. In keeping with the Executive Committee's commitment to promote and support a doctoral culture within the Ed.D program at SFSU, the Executive Committee has approved a motion to establish a permanent Student Research Fellowship fund, with support becoming available to all students in the program beginning Fall 2010. The Student Research Fund (SRF) is an award up to $5,000 granted to students at the beginning of the following application semester. The purpose of the SRF is to provide support for qualitative and quantitative student research on key themes of the Ed.D program, which will promote reforms and changes in P-12 and community colleges in the region; to support student dissertation-related research in the third year of the program; to enable the program to use the research funds to leverage additional resources from foundations and other funding agencies. The Ed.D program is proud to have begun this good work, and is confident it will prove beneficial to enhancing student research and strengthening the overall goal of the Doctoral Education Program at San Francisco State University.
