Collaborative Research (continued)
Skidmore students and their professors have worked together
on numerous research projects. This kind of high-level scholarship
does more than enhances a student's understanding in a given
disipline; the practical, hands-on experience and "real-world"
accomplishment also instill a sense of confidence that will
benefit a graduate in any career. Projects from recent years
appear below, arranged by academic area.
Project: Enhancing Mentoring Practices Between and Among
College Faculty, Student Teachers, and Cooperating Teachers Participants: Visiting Instructor
Lenora de la Luna and Jaqueline (Jackie) Callahan Plan: The proposed project will bring together three
veteran teachers, one recently tenured teacher, one soon-to-be
student teacher (Callahan) and one Skidmore faculty member (de
la Luna). During the summer, we will engage in a series of five
full-day workshops designed to better understand the constraints
teachers, student teachers, and education faculty face as we
work toward developing and implementing successful student-teaching
experiences. The foci of the workshops are to understand the
ways that Skidmore faculty can better mentor cooperating teachers
as they work with Skidmore students. A central aim in the project
is to develop reciprocal mentoring practices among faculty,
student teachers, and cooperating teachers.
Creative Thought Matters.
