The Bagwell College of Education Research Grant provides faculty members with a funding opportunity to support their research/scholarship agenda. The following six awards of $2,500 were awarded for the 2024-2025 academic year:  

Drs. Rachel E. Gaines and Mei-Lin Chang have been selected as recipients for the BCOE Research Grant to help MAT candidates in Year-long Clinical Experiences (YCE) develop key social-emotional competencies through a three-session workshop. The grant will specifically support developing and implementing the workshop to cover fees or honorarium etc. Their work is significant as it has potential to prepare teacher candidates to provide better instruction and to enjoy longer, more satisfying careers in the classroom.
 
Drs. Kristie W. Smith and Jillian Ford have been selected as a recipient for the BCOE Research Grant to create an interdisciplinary teaching and research collaborative, taking up critical issues and pedagogies across middle grades, secondary, and post-secondary educational contexts. To address the research questions, they will utilize critical participatory action research (CPAR) as their methodology. The grant will support the Summer Institute stipend and resources in large, and the study will be a seed idea in the pursuit of larger external grant. 
 
Dr. Johari Harris has been selected as a recipient for the BCOE Research Grant for the study seeking to examine middle school teachers’ experiences with Albemarle County Public Schools (ACPS) anti-bias advisory lessons with a focus on implementation practices and teacher mindsets with a particular focus on the role of social interaction within the cultural context of school. This study will follow a cohort of middle school teachers over the course of implementation of the units paying particular attention to teachers’ experiences with lessons that explore the underpinnings of social inequity and promote critical social analysis in students.
 
Dr. Virginie Jackson has been selected as a recipient for the BCOE Research Grant for a study to provide educators with strategies and insights to create a phonics program that is both inclusive and effective for a diverse group of 5th graders. This study is significant because the impact of the study lies in its potential to significantly enhance the preparation of pre-service teachers to meet the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students, particularly those with dyslexia or reading challenges. This project can address the pressing demand for effective, inclusive education practices in light of increasing diversity in U.S. classrooms.

  Frequently Asked Questions
 
What is a pre-recorded presentation?
Students are invited to submit a link to a 5-minute prerecorded presentation during the submission process. Video recordings must adhere to the following guidelines:

• Submissions must be in the form of a video file (.mp4, .mov, .wmv, etc.)
• Submissions must be no more than 5 minutes in length.
• Submissions should reflect the guidelines within your discipline. (Ex. A slideshow with a voice over, a video of you discussing your research, or if the piece is performance based, a video of said performance.)
• Third-party images or music must be appropriately referenced. Music and images may be pulled from public domain websites, but they, too, must be cited.
• Best practices for citing unusual materials are providing the item’s title, creator, source, and any licensing information, such as a CC-BY or Public Domain license.
• Each submission should include a brief introduction about the presenter(s), including their name(s), class(es), and major(s).

 
I am choosing the virtual option for presenting and have never presented at a virtual conference before. How can I familiarize myself with the technology and make sure that everything goes according to plan?
We will be using Microsoft Teams for presenters who choose the virtual option. Teams will allow multiple people to virtually attend a session. Presenters can share their screen to show a presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote) or other visuals. Attendees can ask questions virtually or by using a chat box within the session. More specific details on how to use Teams for the Bagwell College Student Scholars Expo will be sent to each participant.
 
How do I find when I'm presenting and the link to do my virtual presentation?
A detailed schedule will be shared by participants a week before the event. The schedule will include links to the different sessions. 
 
Is there a different Microsoft Teams link for presenters versus attendees?
No. Everyone uses the same link to join the session.
 
How does a presentation work for a virtual conference?
 

• Enter your assigned "room" at least 5 minutes before the session starts. However, It would be ideal if you could attend the 1-hour session in full.
• Share your screen and show an opening slide so attendees know they've entered the correct "room."
• If you are using presentation software like PowerPoint, Prezi, OneNote, or Genial.ly: Start your presentation at the assigned time, and go into "presenter" mode to make your slides easier to read for the audience. Be sure to leave plenty of time for questions at the end.
• If you are not using presentation software: We strongly encourage you to turn on your video so attendees have something to look at. More specific details about how to turn on the video feature can be found here.
• When you're finished giving your presentation, ask the audience if they have any questions. Be sure to check the chat box to see if anyone wrote any questions. 

On Wednesday November, 19th from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, we will be hosting a networking event with faculty in The Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology (SPCEET). The aim of the event is to identify potential synergies and avenues for collaboration between faculty in BCOE and SPECEET.

The event will be structured as follows:

• 1.00 pm - 1.10 pm: Introduction
• 1.10 pm - 2.00 pm: 1-minute individual presentation of the participants in the event
• 2.00 pm - 2.15 pm: First round of group gatherings by theme/topic
• 2.15 pm - 2.30 pm: Second round of group gatherings by theme/topic
• 2.30 pm - 3.00 pm: Mingle over light refreshments
