Community Care and Concern: Moving Outside School to Build Connections
This paper explores ways of reconceptualizing family engagement as occurring outside of the classroom. Through attendance at MICOP (Mixteco Indígena Community Organizing Project) meetings, a Family and Community Engagement course learn new ways of building community. Using student voices from a pre-service teacher education classroom, stories of family, culture, and care are documented
Partition Problems and a Pattern of Vertical Sums
We give a possible explanation for the mystery of a missing number in the statement of a problem that asks for the non-negative integers to be partitioned into three subsets. Based on a pattern of sums of certain elements in the three sets, we find a more standard solution to the problem, using only congruence modulo five. We also show that the original statement plays a special role among all statements that satisfy the same pattern of the sums
Grim on Complete Multipartite Graphs
Grim is a deletion game played on the vertices of a graph. In this paper we will examine strategies for when Grim is played on complete multipartite graphs

Systematic Adaptations for Students who are Deafblind
Part of an adapted physical educators’ responsibility is to provide successful adaptations and if needed, provide an alternative physical activity to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. Due to the low incidence of students who are deafblind, providing proper adaptations and alternative physical activities may be challenging. To assist with the examination of proper adaptations the Dynamic System Theory and Newell’s Model can be utilized. A systematic approach to make adaptation to physical activities can lead to an increase in participation, skill development, and independence. Adapted physical educators can increase the probability that appropriate motor and physical activities are presented to a student who is deafblind by examining the individual, environment, and task constraints
Priming Your Environment for Growth Through a Collaborative Model of Instructional Coaching
Teacher preparation is complex in nature. Students in K-12 education comprise an increasingly culturally and linguistically diverse population. Standards have significantly evolved with state and Common Core State Standards that now place a greater emphasis on academic discourse both in written and oral forms. To better prepare the next generation of teachers to address these shifts in expectations, we are examining the influence of instructional coaching at the university level. The work encompasses professional development on research-based ELL principles to support the changing populations of students in conjunction with coaching sessions to enhance coursework. The results of this study were statistically significant and have set the stage for our next steps in sustainable change at the university level
