International Lasallian Advisory Research Group as Pathway to Promote Autonomy and Self-Evaluation in Undergraduates from La Salle University-Bogota and Lewis University, USA
Get PDFThe initiative, International Lasallian Advisory Research Group (ILARG), establishes research collaborations among Lasallian institutions of higher education. La Salle University (Colombia) and Lewis University (USA) developed an approach, never attempted in Colombia, to determine the impact of the herbicide glyphosate. In this venture, the research faculty involved undergraduates in Environmental Science, Biology, and Environmental & Sanitary programs. The approach improved the students’ technical skills better than what would be expected from a standard laboratory course. Apart from the multiple research products (international publications and conferences) generated by the students, the experiences improved their time management and planning skills, their conceptual knowledge, and their application of the scientific method. This included changes in the students’ behaviors, such as becoming open to different cultures and assuming the roles of scholars. There was also remarkable improvement in their analytical skills. This collaboration is an example of building research communities among Lasallian institutions
What it means to be a Lasallian coach
No full textWhat exactly does it mean to be a Lasallian Coach and how does it fit with the values of Lewis University.
Discussion that compares and connects what it means to be a Lasallian Coach and the core mission values of Lewis University - Knowledge, Fidelity, Wisdom, Justice, and Association. How can we utilize this connection to create a program mission statement, team core values, and standards that are utilized to drive behavior, development, and success. (This part of the presentation is intended to tie together our values and how they can shape how we do our work).
What are the traits of Lasallian athletes and coaches and how does it direct our coach/player interactions, program plans and most importantly the culture we build within the program.
Discussion that specifies what is different about Lasallian Athletes and Coaches and how they utilizes these traits to create an amazing culture within the program, getting players to buy in and how it impacts anyone that encounters the program. How this methodology crosses over into academics. (This part of the presentation is intended to give concrete examples of how their program builds culture and how that culture permeates the program and the surrounding community).
How can faculty and staff both utilize what it means to be a Lasallian Coach as a method for developing students.
What lessons has she learned as a Lasallian Coach that can cross over to the academic world. As faculty work to develop our students, can we provide them a framework for a different setting (classroom), what are the similarities to our classroom (court or field) and can these shared
values and traits work across campus to impact our students. (This part of the presentation is intended to bridge the gap between Academics and Athletics on a college campus. How can the methods of running an Athletics program translate to the classroom)
Teaching Inside: Pedagogical Strategies and Innovations Within Carceral Settings
No full textUnder the recently expanded Second Chance Pell Initiative, an increasing number of individuals under carceral control in the United States can enroll in higher education programs with Pell grant funding. In 2022, Lewis University, a mid-sized teaching institution in suburban Chicago, became the second ‘Second Chance Pell Experimental Site\u27 in Illinois and began offering undergraduate degrees to people incarcerated in the Illinois Department of Corrections system. Lewis’ program is especially innovative in that faculty members partner with incarcerated teaching fellows, all of whom earned Master of Arts degrees while incarcerated. This partnership entails deeply intentionally and fully collaborative course development and delivery. The teaching fellows are not only co-instructors but also provide tutoring and other forms of academic support. In this interactive workshop, presenters who include four teaching fellows who are currently incarcerated in the Sheridan Correctional Center, a prison education program director, and a full-time sociology professor, focus on the co-creation and co-teaching of sociology courses in carceral settings based on our shared experiences as part of the Lewis University Prison Education Program. Participants of this workshop will have opportunities to learn in community and engage in conversation around the many challenges and possibilities of creative pedagogical practices within sociology classrooms, both inside and outside of carceral spaces. This workshop focuses in particular on curriculum development and will be of particular value to those interested in prison education programs, those teaching sociology courses to those under various forms of carceral control, and any of those who find themselves negotiating multiple bureaucracies in their teaching, as well as those interested in teaching in nontraditional spaces and those interested in developing and delivering sociology courses with those who did not travel traditionally expected paths to teaching within the discipline
