General Announcements
Free Penn Equity Institute for Doctoral Students
This spring, the Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education at the University of Pennsylvania launched the Penn Equity Institutes. These virtual institutes are typically aimed at senior leaders in K-12 schools (e.g., superintendents, central office administrators, and principals) and higher education administrators (e.g., presidents, provosts, and deans) who receive executive leadership certificates at the conclusion of 10 modules. The Center is offering a FREE Penn Equity Institute for current students in higher education, student affairs, and community college leadership doctoral programs. Students can register at no cost for a single module or the full series. Those who participate in all four sessions will receive a certificate from Penn.
This special Penn Equity Institute will focus on bringing a racial equity lens to one’s research agenda. Professor Shaun R. Harper, founder and executive director of the Center, will lead the four virtual modules. One will feature a panel discussion with Professors Estela Mara Bensimon (University of Southern California), Sylvia Hurtado (UCLA), Samuel D. Museus (Indiana University), and Julie J. Park (University of Maryland), along with Dr. Susan D. Johnson (Director of Equity and Inclusion, Lumina Foundation). Another will include a collaborative presentation with Professor Lori Patton Davis (Indiana University).
For more information and to register for this FREE Penn Equity Institute for Doctoral Students, please visit http://PennEquityGradInstitute.eventbrite.com
Deadline extended–Critical Questions in Education Conference
The conference—in its 11th year—is designed so participants can share challenging conversations about educational ideas important at both the K-12 and university levels. Paper sessions, panel discussions, book discussions, keynote speakers, social gatherings—all happen at CQIE. The conference attracts university professors from many different disciplines, especially teacher education (and especially in educational foundations). Submission deadlines, topics, and further information located here and on the website, http://academyforeducationalstudies.org
ENC 5319- Scholarly Writing for Publication- Writing for Intersectional & Social Justice Research – Fall 2015
This workshop-style seminar is a valuable course for graduate students (and their advisor) as it will give a venue to make progress on and enhance thesis/dissertation writing or other research projects, allowing advisors to focus more on conceptual/methodological issues than on the writing. And, it brings a lens that many students are hungry for: intersectionality and social justice perspectives. See flyer for more details.

Tutoring
I am looking for a Geometry tutor for my 13year old son who is taking Geometry Honors through Florida Virtual School. It would be very helpful if the person was familiar with FVS and comfortable working with easily distracted teens. I would like to start as soon as possible as his class has already started and he is struggling.
I am hoping for once a week in my home or a meeting place (preferably SW Gville, but I can be flexible). Please contact Kimberly at ktaylor6371@yahoo.com or call/text 352-219-5868.
Nanny Needed
Nanny for a toddler that has some soft markers for autism. He has not been diagnosed yet, but the family is on an early intervention plan with steps to take with him over the next several months. In this family, both parents work, so it’s important his nanny follow through on these steps with him during the week while they are away. For now, we need someone for three days a week at about 8 hours per day ($10/hour). The days will vary, because one parent is a fire fighter and has different days off each week. However, the mother is off on Fridays, so it should never fall on a Friday that this person would have to work.
Interested students can contact me with their resumes: jordananavarro@outlook.com.
