    <h6>Transforming Undergraduate Mathematics Teacher Preparation using the
    PrimeD Framework </h6>
    <p>A project funded through the National Science Foundation, Improving Undergraduate STEM Education program</p>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>Drs. Michele Stites and Chris Rakes seek a graduate research assistant for a multi-year grant project.
    The grant is housed in the Department of Education of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social
    Science. This project will study the use of a professional development framework to guide teacher
    preparation programs and improve teacher candidates' classroom practice. The study will address both
    the systemic and individual challenges found in teacher preparation. The project's professional
    development is organized into four iterative phases: design, implementation, evaluation, &amp; research.
    Structural supports of the project include network improvement communities, plan-do-study-act cycles,
    and coursework. This collaborative project involves partnerships with University of Maryland Baltimore
    County (lead), University of Central Florida, University of Kentucky, and Berea College. The four-year
    project aims to structure undergraduate mathematics teacher preparation programs at these four
    institutions and study the use of the Professional Development: Research, Implementation, and
    Evaluation framework (PrimeD) to improve teacher preparation programs and teacher candidates'
    professional practice. Using design-based research, the project will follow a multi-group treatment-only
    longitudinal, triangulation mixed methods design. The project aims to understand the following research
    objectives: (i) How well does PrimeD improve program development of undergraduate teacher
    candidate pedagogical content knowledge in ways that connect to their teaching? (ii) How well does
    PrimeD improve program development of undergraduate teacher candidates’ preparation to implement
    research-based teaching strategies? (iii) How well does PrimeD reposition stakeholders (e.g., classroom
    teachers, field experience supervisors, undergraduate teacher candidates, faculty) as partners, mentors,
    and co-learners in the program? <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>This position is full time (20 hours per week) and will be “work from home” until it is safe to return to
    face-to-face. Hours are flexible and will be adjusted to accommodate course schedules and any
    obligations that arise from working from home. Tuition and health benefits are included. Ph.D. students
    are preferred, but master’s degree students with a research background will be considered. A
    background/interest in math education is helpful but not a requirement of the position. </div>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Today, we’re closing our audio meditation series, “Nature as Teacher,” with our third meditation, “Cultivating Peace in Uncertain Times.” This meditation focuses on grounding ourselves with gratitude and setting practical goals in order to calm any anxieties or worries that arise amidst these uncertain times. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Thank you so much for joining us for the past three weeks for this “Nature as Teacher” mindfulness practice. We invite you to revisit these meditations on our website when you feel the need to recenter and refocus. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Each meditation is kindly presented by UMBC’s Director of Workplace Learning, OD &amp; Wellness and Founder &amp; CEO of Wardell Development Group LLC., Jill Wardell and supported by the Joseph Beuys Tree Partnership with a generous gift from Nature Sacred (<a href="https://naturesacred.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://naturesacred.org/</a>).</p>

<Title>Responding to the Tragedy in Beirut</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><span>Dear Members of the UMBC Community,</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Our hearts are heavy as we see the impact of the devastating chemical explosion in Beirut on August 4 that killed more than 200 people, injured thousands, and left as many as 300,000 homeless. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, first responders, and the Lebanese community around the world, including here at UMBC.</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>We are aware that this catastrophe comes at a time when many people in our communities and around the world are already suffering because of the global coronavirus pandemic and other crises, including a gas explosion in a Baltimore residential neighborhood today. This context makes the tragedy in Beirut even more challenging to process, and the journey to recovery even more fraught. However, seeking to support those who are suffering, as we are able, can generate a powerful, positive response that brings care and kindness to those most in need.</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>If you would like to provide material support, the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/bn2y3e/jdozdbc/jt85k0" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Lebanese Red Cross</a> and the United Nations’ <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/bn2y3e/jdozdbc/zl95k0" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">World Food Programme</a> are among the many groups contributing to disaster response and recovery in Lebanon.</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Tragedies impact community members in different ways, and we want to be certain that students, faculty, and staff who may need support as a result of this incident have information about resources available to them. Faculty and staff can request counseling through the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/bn2y3e/jdozdbc/fea6k0" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">ComPsych Employee Assistance Program</a> by calling 855-410-7628. Students seeking support can access the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/bn2y3e/jdozdbc/v6a6k0" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Counseling Center</a> at 410-455-2472 or, at the Shady Grove campus, the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/bn2y3e/jdozdbc/bzb6k0" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">USG Center for Counseling and Consultation</a> at 301-738-6273.</span></div>

<Title>Nature as Teacher</Title>

    <h6>An Invitation to Return...</h6>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>There was a time in human history when each of us was alive and awake to both the beauty and the wisdom of the natural world. A time of awareness where we intuited that what was happening 'outside' was also happening 'inside' each of us. A time when nature was our teacher. The following practices invite you to return and rekindle this inner knowing for the sake of your own well-being, for the sake of our planet and for future generations to come who will inhabit it.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Principles of Mindfulness</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Awareness </strong>- Paying attention to our attention - how and what we notice</div>
    <div>
    <div>
    <strong>Non-judgement </strong>- Our ability to accept experiences as they are without</div>
    <div>evaluation or judgment</div>
    <div>
    <strong>Peacefulness</strong> - Our ability to cultivate a state of peacefulness and equanimity</div>
    <div>amidst changing conditions</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Pay attention to these principles as you go through each exercise, bringing with you a sense of wakefulness, appreciation, and wonder to each experience.</div>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>16. Inspiration Through Poetry</strong></div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div><div>
    <div>
    <div><div>Heighten contemplation and appreciation through poetry by nature poets such as Mary Oliver, John Muir, Wendell Berry, etc. Practice seeing the world through their eyes and notice what difference it makes.</div></div>
    <br>
