Presentation Types
Oral Presentations: Each Presenter will have approximately 15-20 minutes to discuss their research and findings
and 5 minutes for discussion or questions. Session Chairs will indicate how much time is remaining for each
presentation using time cards (5-minute; 1-minute; “Out of Time!”).

Poster Presentations: All Poster Presentations will be in the general session room. Each Presenter will have the
opportunity to discuss their research / proposals one on one with other participants. Easels, poster clips and
display boards (30x40 inches) are available for each Presenter. Display boards will be marked with the Presenters’
reference number. Presenters must stay with their poster to receive the Certificate of Presentation.

Workshops: Workshops are a one-hour long interactive presentation. They are a hands-on presentation to help
you learn, gain new skills, and introduce new ideas.

                                              Presentation Rooms

Presentation rooms for Oral Presentations and Workshops will be equipped with a MacBook Air (running Microsoft
PowerPoint, and Apple Keynote), a projector and a screen. Bring your presentation on a flash drive.

If you want to use your own laptop, you are more than welcome to do so. Let one of our staff members know prior
to your presentation and we will set it up.

                                                Session Chairs

The primary goal of the Session Chair is to ensure the session runs smoothly and is a success for both the
presenters and the audience. Session Chairs must keep time and oversee the Best Presentation Evaluation.

   Developing Self-Regulation Behavioral Strategies For Elementary Students Through The Use Of Mindfulness
                                       by Marilyn Hande & Belinda Karge #175

A critical factor in predicting school readiness and success in elementary school can be linked to wellness and
mental health (Denham & Brown 2010). Being able to understand and manage emotions, display responsible
actions, and cultivate positive relationships are critical features associated with Social Emotional Learning (SEL), one
key factor associated with mental health (CASEL, 2019). The ability to regulate behaviors, emotions and thoughts
and to make decisions that are positive both inside and outside the classroom lead to appropriate interactions with
peers (Bird & Sultman, 2010). Furthermore, a person’s capacity to identify and understand one’s own emotional
experience can support overall life functioning.

This workshop is designed to

  a)   Actively engage the participants with examples of Mindfulness engagement strategies for preK-5th grade.
  b) Actively engage the participants with examples of specific mental health strategies designed to support
       preK-5th grade.
  c)   Provide data on the impact of Mindfulness Yoga Social-Emotional Learning Focus: MYSELF Intervention
       (Hande, 2020) on the development of self-regulation strategies for fifth-grade students through a mindfulness
       intervention.
  d) Share the mindfulness activities that were used with the MYSELF intervention group two days a week during
       an eight-week period.
  e) Coach participants through several strategies that can be used with teacher education or graduate student
       candidates to assist them as they learn the importance of self-regulation strategies.

If you are an educator working with pre-K through grade 5 students or those who teach (or are planning to teach),
you will walk away with some creative solutions for immediate use when reinforcing social emotional learning.

•   Sustainable Livelihoods: Corporate Social Investment And Agrarian Reform, by Jason Stratton Davis #198.
    (Virtual Presentation) Abstract: The idea that the agricultural sector could provide inclusive economic growth
    that transform South African rural landscape remains an elusive dream. Even though authors show that the
    growth multipliers from agriculture exceed those of the non-agricultural sector and that increasing agricultural
    productivity is associated with rapid transition out of poverty, the agricultural sector remains
    underdeveloped…The answer lies in leveraging more Corporate Social Investment (CSI) towards the
    development of small-scale farmers.
•   Decoloniality: A Response To Imperialism And The Politics Of The Global North, by Macleans A. Geo-JaJa,
    Suzanna Majhanovich, Jenna Adams #132. Abstract: In identifying the undermining of culture and human rights
    in development, this paper juxtaposed coloniality through the narrative of “neoliberalism in development
    cooperation.” The paper argues that indeed, coloniality that benefits the North is not a free market at all but a
    denial of indigeneity, as the rules of the game are rigged in favor of the North’s take over and destruction that
    result exponential - growth of national and international inequalities.

•   Welcome To The Profession: Exploring Perceptions Of New Teacher Retention Supports, by Michele Barron-
    Albers, Amy Christensen #154. Abstract: Our study employs grounded theory to analyze educational
    professionals’ reflective writings to expand insights regarding why half of the state’s fully licensed teachers are
    leaving the field, examine supports provided to new teachers, and determine what supports would be most
    beneficial for retention. This study compares the perceptions of beginning teacher supports through three
    different lenses (pre-service, in-service, and administrative).

•   Contributing Factors To On-Campus Student Organization Involvement, by Veronica Veaux, Angie Kovarik,
    Valerie Wallingford, Matthew Splittstoser #101. Abstract: This study evaluates student involvement in on-
    campus student organizations…Not only will students living closer to campus be more active with on-campus
    student organizations, they are also more likely to be involved with on-campus student organizations directly
    related to their major. We also hypothesized that female students are more apt to be involved in on-campus
    student organizations related to their major than males.

    practitioner model. The purpose of this paper is to describe a conceptual framework for educator development
    using the scholar-practitioner model.

                        Success In Engaging Students: Strategies For Motivating Students
                                      In Virtual Doctoral Residency Programs
                               by Fern Aefsky, Dale Mancini & Phillip Neely, Jr. #145

While online doctoral programs of study typically have a residency requirement, travel and health restriction caused
by the COVID 19 pandemic required many program administrators to revise their residency programs, forcing them
to move to fully online platforms. The following workshop will share how three doctoral programs in one university
developed and delivered virtual residencies for their students. It includes details for hosting successful virtual
residency programs and strategies for motivating students. Discussion of faculty and student feedback and tools
used for engaging all successfully, with strategies used shared so that participants can develop options for their
own programs.
