[Randy Kamphaus]

Dear Faculty and Staff,

Reminders:

  *   The Teaching Engagement Program blog continues to be updated with new resources for faculty and GE instructors, including timely resources for teaching through the election https://blogs.uoregon.edu/keepteaching/2020/10/20/teaching-and-the-election/

Accolades:

  *   KinderTEK, NumberShire, and ESCOLAR are featured among only 20 programs nationally in the Ready Now Guide<https://www.educationmodified.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ReadyNow.SpecialEducation.9.1.20.pdf?utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_name=&utm_source=govdelivery&utm_term=> to evidence-based digital curricula. KinderTEK is led by Dr. Mari Strand Cary, NumberShire by Drs. Hank Fien, Nancy Nelson-Fien, and Lina Shanley, and ESCOLAR by Dr. Fatima Elvira Terrazas-Arellanes. That’s impressive UO COE representation! Congratulations to all who contributed to these multi-year, complex, and breakthrough projects.



  *   I recommend the recent Around the O<https://around.uoregon.edu/content/covid-19-added-isolation-among-families-facing-autism?utm_source=UOnews> article featuring Dr. Laura Lee McIntyre’s 16-week National Institutes of Health-funded study of families in Oregon and California with children affected by autism. Dr. McIntyre’s work highlights how the work shifted and expanded during the COVID 19 pandemic. The work provides a cogent description of timely work conducted by a skilled researcher.


  *   Congratulations to Dr. Wendy Machalicek for being selected to serve a three year term as Co-Editor of the Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions. Along with Mandy Rispoli at Purdue University, their term begins January 1, 2021.

Stay well,

Randy
