Story Shaping Ideology: Majoritarian Stories of English Learners
Get PDFUsing interviews, artifacts, email correspondences, and lesson plans collected from six white, female, preservice teachers during their student teaching, this chapter focuses on the stories that shaped their ideologies of the emergent bilingual children in their classrooms. The findings indicate the preservice teachers, while having diverse lived experiences, held some common majoritarian stories concerning English learners. In addition to those majoritarian stories already established in the field, there were three additional stories uncovered in this study that significantly influenced the ideologies of emergent bilingual students. The chapter concludes by encouraging teacher educators to unpack story and use it as a vehicle for addressing teacher ideology of emergent bilingual students
Feminine Divinity

Toni Morrison will baptize me under the moonlight
She tilts me backwards in the water
On the other side
Cleopatra tells me all her secret
Land Development - Tree 4 Hope
Get PDFThe Land Development Team has partnered with Tree 4 Hope and Hope Academy in Santa Lucía Milpas Altas, Guatemala to improve the outdoor facilities of the school. Jenn and David Hope-Tringali are the client/partner representatives of the school for this project. The goal of the project is to provide design and construction drawings for three main elements of the proposed land development: (1) a parking lot for buses and school vehicles that enter the site, (2) a single sports court that can accommodate basketball and soccer, and (3) a playground that is directed towards themes associated with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math). The team has completed project drawings to allow construction by local personnel, or by student or church mission teams when travel is allowed to resume post-pandemic.https://mosaic.messiah.edu/engr2021/1007/thumbnail.jp
Preparing For Extended Field Tests of the Intelligent Water System
Get PDFThe Intelligent Water System, which improves access to clean water by autonomously monitoring and reporting on the health of hand pumps in developing countries, has been under development for several years. This development has included short-term prototype field tests in several countries. The design has matured to the point that an extended field trial to demonstrate performance and reliability has been requested by our client. In light of this, the team has implemented design changes to address issues from our most recent prototype field test and begun manufacture of the first five systems intended for installation in Burkina Faso. This poster highlights the code changes enabling more accurate determination of the volume of water pumped and the simplified mounting of the system’s Handle Motion Sensor.https://mosaic.messiah.edu/engr2021/1006/thumbnail.jp
Fluency Assistance Device (FAD): Masker Upgrades
Get PDFAround seventy million people internationally have a stutter, a form of a fluency disorder. Some fluency assistance devices are available to the public, but most are highly expensive or unreliable. The Fluency Assistive Device (FAD) team seeks to assist a niche community of these individuals who currently rely on a device known originally as the Edinburgh Masker by partnering with Dave Germeyer. Utilizing his expertise in repairing the Edinburgh Masker, FAD is developing two new versions of the masker to increase its portability, functionality, and cost-effectiveness. The first is an update of the original called the Analog Masker (Version 1.1). A prototype of the Analog Masker v1.1 has been developed, tested and is currently being revised based on the results. Revisions include updating the layout of the board and finalizing the power supply circuitry. The second version, known as the Digital Masker (Version 1.0), will use a Bluetooth-enabled microcontroller to achieve masker functionality. Bluetooth audio output for the Digital Masker has been tested, and two algorithms have been created for the masking output. The supporting software for the Digital Masker is nearing completion. The schematic and the layout design have been started for future implementation of the hardware.https://mosaic.messiah.edu/engr2021/1005/thumbnail.jp
