Two Counseling Psychology Professors elected as Fellows in the American Psychological Association, both for a second time
Congratulations to Dr. Dale Larson and Dr. Jerrold Shapiro on being elected as Fellows in the American Psychological Association (APA), both for a second consecutive time.
In 2009, Dr. Larson was elected as a Fellow in Division 38 of the American Psychological Association. The Council of Representatives of APA acknowledged Dr. Larson’s outstanding contributions to the field of Health Psychology, and concurred with the Division recommendation to name him Fellow, Division 38. In 2008, Dr. Larson was also elected a Fellow in Division 17, Counseling Psychology.
This last May (2009), Dr. Shapiro was elected a Fellow of Division 42 (Independent Practice). Dr. Shapiro was also elected as a Fellow of Division 43 (The Society of Family Psychology) in 2008 and made his address to the Society during APA at the annual conference.
Background about Fellows:
"Fellow status is an honor bestowed upon American Psychological Association APA Members who have shown evidence of unusual and outstanding contributions or performance in the field of psychology .... Fellow status requires that a person's work has had a national impact on the field of psychology beyond a local, state, or regional level. A high level of competence or steady and continuing contributions are not sufficient to warrant Fellow status. National impact must be demonstrated."

Shauna Shapiro an Associate professor for Counseling Psychology quoted on USA Today Article
'Mindfulness' meditation being used in hospitals and schools
Shauna Shapiro, an Associate professor for Counseling Psychology at Santa Clara University was quoted in a USA Today story about “mindfulness” meditation being used in hospitals and schools.
Challenges are landing fast and furious on Capitol Hill. So Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, feels he has to arrive at the top of his game every day. And Ryan says he has found a way to do that: He meditates for at least 45 minutes before leaving home.
Ryan, 35, sits on a floor cushion, closes his eyes, focuses on his breath and tries to detach from any thoughts, just observing them like clouds moving across the sky — a practice he learned at a retreat. Read More »

Teachers as Designers
phernandez
Sponsored by SAGE: Student Association for Graduate Education
An Evening with Dr. Pedro Hernandez-Ramos
When: Friday April 3rd
Where: Santa Clara University Library & Learning Commons
Time: 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
The most common mental model for teaching work involves transmission of, and control over, the flow of information in the classroom. In this presentation I will argue for the view that, in light of substantially different 21st century needs, teachers should conceptualize their work as that of "learning designers." Learning to think as a designer is challenging, and designing learning activities is, in many ways, more difficult than traditional lesson planning, but the rewards for both teachers and learners are quite substantial and thus worth the effort. How to meaningfully integrate technology into learning activities at all grade levels is also a challenge that needs to be considered, given how attractive new technologies are for young people.

Goodchild Conducted A National Faculty Workshop
Les Goodchild recently organized and conducted a national workshop, the first Early Career Faculty Teaching Workshop, for the Council for the Advancement of Higher Education Programs at the Association for the Study of Higher Education annual meeting in Jacksonville, Florida from November 5 to 6. As the council’s elected program chair, he designed the workshop that brought together 27 assistant professors from around the country, who were nominated by the program directors, to hear and participate in panels on teaching five different content areas in higher education (namely, history of higher education, curriculum and instruction, diversity and gender, administration and organization, and faculty issues) and on dissertation advising. Senior faculty from the University of Michigan, Columbia University’s Teachers College, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Pennsylvania, University of Kansas, University of Massachusetts Boston, Seton Hall University, and Santa Clara University comprised these two invited panels.
At the workshop, Goodchild presented an opening address, “Joy and Hunger: Listening to the Voice of Vocation in Your Life,” prepared by Professor Jennifer Haworth, Loyola University of Chicago, participated in the invited panel presentation on dissertation advising by giving, “Assisting the Dissertation Researcher,” and offered the introductory remarks to the workshop’s concluding address, “Rethinking the Doctorate: Responding to Emerging Conditions,” by Dr. Chris Golde, Associate Provost for Graduate Studies at Stanford University and former Senior Scholar at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
On that weekend, Goodchild also attended the History of Education Society annual conference in Tampa, Florida from November 7 to 8, where he gave a short overview at its Business meeting of his Ad Hoc Report to the History of Education Society Board, “Preliminary Report on the Condition of the History of Education as a Requirement for the Teaching Credential and Degrees in American Schools of Education,” which had been invited by the Society’s President Harold Wechsler, professor of education at New York University.
