Between Worlds is a documentary that was written, shot, and produced by Eddie Aguilar, an alumnus of Washington State University’s Cultural Studies and Social Thought in Education program. It is an autoethnography, meaning, it was about him, and his journey toward something called critical consciousness. We caught up Eddie at the 2020 Globalization Conference, and talked about this documentary, and how it’s meant to instill critical consciousness in communities.

In the world of school principals, there’s plenty of technical research out there about tactics principals can use to improve their craft and help students. But there’s often still a disconnect in their professional development, and much of it has to do with the relationship between the principal and their principal supervisor. So when James Crawford formed his dissertation, it dealt with far more than the technical, and dealt specifically with those relationships, how trust is built, what that looks like when it occurs, what are the actions that take place, how does the professional relationship help learning? The research was good. In fact, it was award-winning.

Paul Pitre came to WSU as a junior faculty member in the College of Education. Now, he’s the chancellor of WSU Everett. The ascent is impressive. And… so is the WSU Everett campus. Dr. Pitre has always been interested in higher education, and education policy. It’s taken him from his home in Western Washington, to the Northeast, to the South. Oh, and there was a little stop in there at the U of I where he played football under famed coach Dennis Erickson. We had the chance to sit down with Dr. Pitre, just to get an update. To find out what’s going on at WSU Everett, and find out what brought him to higher ed in the first place.

Geo-literacy was a term coined by National Geographic to describe the understanding of how our world works that is required of ALL members of a modern, globally interconnected society. It’s way more than being able to find countries on a map. We sat down with Sarah Newcomer, an associate professor of literacy education at Washington State University Tri-Cities, and she shared a cool project that she’s working on to help increase geo-literacy.

 AVID, which stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, is an organization that supports students who you may say are on the margins or on the periphery; not college ready, perhaps, but on the cusp. The program uses high-engagement strategies to make it easier for teachers to help these students progress, as well as help teach some life skills. With help from a grant, WSU Tri-Cities has partnered with AVID for a little more than five years now, and Sara Petersen, a clinical assistant professor of special education said it has been very beneficial. We sat down with Sara and talked to her about the program, as well as something called Socratic mentoring.
