A CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS Susan E. Hashway, NADE President

On behalf of the NADE Executive Board, I would like to thank everyone who participated in any way in the 2003 Conference in Austin. The event was a total success from the thought-provoking and timely presentations to the colorful and tasteful entertainments. While a relatively small cadre of dedicated volunteers made the conference a reality, everyone who participated helped to make it a success. Vickie Kelly, NADE Vice-President, will be sharing more details in her column. I would also like to encourage you to visit the NADE website (www.nade.net) for 2004 Conference information.

I expect that very few people realize that NADE operates almost totally on volunteer assistance. Each of our 29 chapters has offices staffed by volunteers. Volunteers operate our many committees, SPINs, task forces, and councils. Even the Executive Board is composed entirely of volunteers. Volunteers sustain the communication network, which is the heart of the NADE experience. Yet, only a little over 10% of the membership has volunteered for service to developmental education through their local chapter or through the national organization. I would like to encourage all NADE members to become active volunteers. Volunteer forms are available on the NADE website (www.nade.net) or directly through me. During these difficult times in developmental education, we need to ALL work together. The better we support each other, the more effective advocates we can be for our profession.

One goal of the 2003-2004 Executive Board is to increase political awareness in all audiences concerned with developmental education. I ask all of you to join this effort by contacting your chapter’s Political Liaison or the NADE Political Liaison, Ken Kerr (kkerr@frederick.edu) and offering your assistance. One project that we are undertaking involves developing a database of contact information for people who are willing to be advocates for developmental education. An ideal advocate would be a person who has benefited from developmental educational experiences, graduated from an institution of higher education or earned a professional certification, and achieved success in their chosen field. If you know of any such people who have successfully completed your program, would you please contact them and ask if they would be willing to be an advocate for developmental education? Then forward the information to your chapter’s political liaison or to NADE’s political liaison. Think of what we could accomplish if we had a nationwide list of advocates that numbered in the thousands!

The Executive Board has a number of other initiatives under way, which will benefit the membership. One concerns moving from hard copy newsletters to web-based newsletter distribution. Please see the article by Pat Newell, NADE President-Elect, for some of the exciting details!

I wish all of you a productive and rewarding year! Please feel free to contact any Board member with your suggestions for improving our service to you.

DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS Vickie Kelly, NADE Vice-President

NADE 2003 was a conference to remember. Many thanks to the NADE 2003 Conference Committee, under the leadership of Mary Ann DeArmond Greenlees (Conference Coordinator), Betty Lee Birdsall (Program Chair), and scores of other volunteers!

You’ve heard that everything is bigger and better in Texas. Now, that claim was not made by the Texas folks; that’s just what we’ve always heard! In Austin, we saw evidence firsthand—even in the number of Conference attendees (over 1000 and counting!). During the Opening Reception, we were treated to live music (remember that Austin is the "live music capital of the world"), delectable hors d’ouevres, and the type of hospitality found only in the South. The next day, keynoter Jean Gatz inspired and challenged us to reach for greater heights—living harmonious lives within ourselves and with others. The concurrent sessions educated, inspired, and, yes, entertained us! John Storan, Chair of the Forum for the Advancement of Continuing Education (FACE), provided a keynote address that challenged us to see access and diversity issues from a learner’s perspective.

The exhibitors and sponsors invested heavily in NADE this year, both financially and emotionally. In the exhibit hall, conference attendees browsed through booths and picked up materials provided by the many companies who admire our mission in our workplace and who support us in tangible and intangible ways. We are deeply grateful to every company and corporation who made generous contributions so that the NADE 2003 Conference would be one of the best.

The Harmony in Diversity Celebration was a cultural event co-sponsored by the Conference, Diversity, and International Access Committees. International NADE attendees were special guests, and diverse cultures were featured through attire, music, dance, and a unique "special needs" project Austin promotes through its involvement in the international Sister Cities Program.

The Awards Luncheon featured NADE members who were recognized for outstanding service to students, to NADE, and to the field of developmental education. Seven developmental education and learning assistance programs were acknowledged for having achieved certification in specified areas. A highlight of all the stellar Awards achievements was the recognition of Darrell Handy, NADE’s Outstanding Alumnus of a Developmental Education Program. He attended Northwest State Community College, where he now serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

The President’s breakfast provided the final official opportunity to say good-bye to fellow Conference attendees and to extend gestures of appreciation to members of the 2002-2003 NADE Executive Board. Then, it was time to install officers of the 2003-2004 NADE Board — but not before the NADE 2004 Conference Team persuaded us to "Meet Them in St. Louis" for NADE 2004!

Though we left with very fond memories of a great time in Texas, we look forward to meeting each other in St. Louis. You should have already received your Call for Proposals for NADE 2004. Please feel free to make copies to share with non-NADE members on your campus and in your local NADE Chapter! The Annual NADE Conference is an experience you and your colleagues will not want to miss.

Think Albuquerque for NADE 2005 and Philadelphia for 2006. NADE is still looking for a site for the 2007 conference. Is your chapter interested in hosting or joining with other chapters to host? If so, please contact the Board to let us know!

You need not pack your bags quite yet, but do remember to send in your volunteer forms for NADE 2004 as soon as possible. Conference information can be found on the NADE 2004 website. NADE conferences are about you and the students you serve. Next March, we’ll see you at the Gateway in St. Louis!

NADE 2004 St. Louis, MO Mar. 10-14, 2004 Developmental Education: Gateway to Success

Go to the Top     Go to the Bottom

For many years the leading professional associations that are involved with learning assistance and developmental education have worked together informally on activities that promoted the field. Several years ago the associations created an umbrella organization called the American Council of Developmental Education Associations (ACDEA) to provide more structure to these discussions.

At the most recent meeting of ACDEA in Austin, TX during February 2003, the leaders from the member organizations (CRLA, NADE, and NCLCA) talked about a proposal from the NADE Emeritus Council to explore new alliances among the associations that might lead to more formal cooperative activities or might even lead to creation of a new professional association that each of the existing groups would join. These discussions have been occurring informally for many years. At the chapter level, there have been numerous examples of formal joint conferences and coordinated activities between CRLA and NADE. One of the best examples is with Texas.

The proposal from the NADE Emeritus Council mentioned that the American College Personnel Association (ACPA) and the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) are currently in discussions about the possibility of a consolidation of their separate associations. ACPA and NASPA have established a series of steps for exploring their potential consolidation and the implications for such an action. The proposal to the ACDEA suggested taking the best elements of their proposal for such an exploration by CRLA, NADE, and NCLCA.

Leaders from all three associations are currently reviewing the NADE Emeritus Council proposal for new and stronger strategic alliances. A decision will be made later this year whether the three groups agree to enter into the first stage of such formal discussions and explorations. There is no expectation that such discussions will lead to creating a new professional association, though that might be a recommended outcome. Before any decision was ever made, there would be numerous open dialogues and votes by the executive boards and memberships of each of the professional associations. Based on the timeline established by the ACPA/NASPA discussions, such a process could take five or more years.

It was announced to the National Committee Chairs at the Leadership Congress on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 during the NADE 27^th Annual Conference that there would be a suspension of publications for the 2003-2004 fiscal year. The Publication Committee Co-chairs and the Conference Proceedings Co-chairs were notified on December 18, 2002 that their positions and committees would be suspended as of February 15, 2003.

The email communication provided the following guidelines for the task-oriented special committee. "During the 2003-2004 fiscal year a special task force will be convened. This task-oriented special committee will take direction from and report its findings and recommendations to the NADE Board. The charge of this committee is to:

1. Conduct an analysis of the environment in which the current Monograph and Publication Committees operate;

2. Look at the potential synergistic, strategic, operational, and cultural aspects of consolidating the Committees;

3. Evaluate the comparative capabilities and limitations of the  Monograph and  Publication Committees while considering the impact these factors may have on a consolidated Committee;

4. Assess the expectations of the membership and how a possible consolidation might affect them;

5. Consider the strategic intent and rationale for consolidation;

6. Evaluate and outline the budgetary rationale for consolidation;

7. Evaluate the benefits and drawbacks to NADE, with and without consolidation;

8. Report any additional findings and information the task-oriented special committee deems useful in the evaluation of whether the current Monograph and Publication Committees should consolidate to form a new committee."

The NADE board through its President, Melodye (Wiens) Shore, stated that this decision resulted from "ongoing review of member feedback, annual reports provided by the Committees, and Board communications."

As the chair of the new task-oriented special committee I would like to use this opportunity to invite all NADE members interested to join me in addressing these eight points. We will conduct our business primarily through email communication.

As chair of the previous NADE Monograph committee, I would like to thank the editors, editorial review members, and authors for making the Monograph a highly respected, juried, professional publication.

It is with regret that the NADE 2003 Monograph, Developmental Education: Pathways to Excellence, will not be available in bounded print copy. The numerous formal and informal solicitations for the NADE Monograph did not yield sufficient submissions to warrant a print publication. There were only two manuscripts submitted by the May 15, 2002 timeline. There were only two more submissions garnered after soliciting publications throughout the summer and into fall. Two NADE members with submitted and reviewed articles elected to withdraw their writings so that they could publish in other print journals. Two members with submitted and reviewed articles have elected to stay with the NADE Monograph. Their submissions will only be available online. The online Monograph for 2003 will be published on the web site by June 2003.

Please join me on this special task force to revitalize or re-invent the NADE publications. Your interest and feedback is needed. Please contact me, Irene Duranczyk, Assistant Professor, General College, University of Minnesota, to share your interest and join an email group pondering the eight issues outlined above. You can email me at this address:  duran026@umn.edu.

The University of Minnesota General College’s Center for Research on Developmental Education and Urban Literacy (CRDEUL) is pleased to announce the publication of a new book, Curriculum Transformation and Disability: Implementing Universal Design in Higher Education. The book is downloadable, free of charge, from the Center’s web site, www.gen.umn.edu/research/crdeul. The faculty and staff development activities that created the impetus for this book were funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education.

The first section of the book serves as an introduction to the concepts of Universal Design and Universal Instructional Design. In the next section, faculty members from a broad range of disciplines (including anthropology, English composition, mathematics, psychology, history, and biology) provide concrete examples of how they have transformed their teaching in order to provide universal access for all students. The third section of the book focuses on student support services, such as first-year experience programs, residence life, learning centers, counseling centers, and disability services. The book concludes with a section on resources, including chapters on technology and web design. The appendices provide a list of assistive technologies and an extensive bibliography.

At the 2003 Awards Ceremony, NADE recognized the certification of the following seven programs:

• The Developmental Education Program of Muskingum Area Technical College, Ohio

• The Developmental Coursework Program of San Jacinto College North, Texas

• The Academic Assistance and Resource Center of Stephen F. Austin State University, Texas

• The Developmental Reading and Writing Program of Northern Kentucky University, Kentucky

• The Developmental Mathematics Program of Northern Kentucky University, Kentucky

• The Department of Language Skills of Lansing Community College, Michigan

• The Department of Developmental Studies, Texas State Technical College Harlingen, Texas

This is the largest number that NADE has ever certified. Six of these programs were certified this year.  One was certified last year, but was unable to come to Orlando, so it was recognized this year.   In addition, this year, we certified two programs at the Distinguished Level, the first programs ever to be certified at that level: Northern Kentucky University Developmental Mathematics and Lansing Community College Department of Language Skills. Of the six certified this year, three were baccalaureate institutions and three were community or technical colleges.

Representatives from these programs have attended a NADE Certification Training Institute, understand the importance of a theory-base for their programs, and have student-centered mission and goals by which to assess their student's outcomes.  They have undertaken an extensive self-study using the NADE Self-Evaluation Guides to document their program's strengths and have created bold action plans to address areas in need of improvement. They have collected an analyzed data which tells them not only how their students are faring in the program and in the institution, but also, what impact a service or course may have on actual learning. Each of these program is a model, and we celebrated with them at the NADE conference in Austin.

Please join the NADE Certification Council in congratulating Becky Ament (Muskingum), Rebecca Goosen (San Jacinto College North), Robin Redmon Wright (Stephen F. Austin State University), Paul Ellis (Northern Kentucky University, Writing and Reading), Diane Williams (Northern Kentucky University, Mathematics), Trudy Carpenter (Lansing Community College), and Cari Kenner (Texas State Technical College Harlingen) in this significant accomplishment. They—and every staff and faculty member who contributed to the certification effort—are well-deserving of our praise.  We look forward to celebrating newly certified programs in St. Louis next year!

The New York College Learning Skills Association, NADE’s New York chapter, held its 26^th Annual Symposium April 6-8, 2003. NYCLSA members from across New York and neighboring states came together in the charming Adirondack village of Lake Placid, NY to reconnect with colleagues and explore new initiatives. Our theme, "Celebrating the Challenge and Spirit of Developmental Education" was underscored in many ways; from motivational humorist Yvonne Conte’s keynote address "The Positive Power of Humor" to the Presidents’ Roundtable discussion, there were countless occasions to reflect on our struggles and successes.

Dr. Horace A. Judson, President of Plattsburgh State University of New York, co-sponsor of the annual symposium, welcomed the conference participants at the Opening Banquet and praised members for the difference they make in the lives of their students. Yvonne Conte’s remarks, "The Positive Power of Humor," were very timely and set the perfect tone for our conference.

We were fortunate again this year to have an impressive line-up of conference presenters and special interest group facilitators. Our President-elect, Julie Jackson-Coe is already busy with plans for NYCLSA’s next symposium scheduled for March 21-23, 2004, at the Hyatt Regency in Buffalo, NY. For more information on our 2004 symposium, please contact Julie at jjcoe@genesee.suny.edu.

IDEA

It's not too soon to mark your calendars and begin planning for the 2003 IDEA Conference, to be held October 8-10 at Village East in Okoboji, Iowa.  This year's conference, "The Courage to Teach and Lead," will focus on the three R's:  Retreat, Renew, and Reacquaint.  The conference committee invites you to "retreat to the shores of beautiful Lake Okoboji, renew under the leadership and teaching of Dr. John Piper, and reacquaint with your colleagues and make new friends.

The structure of this year's conference will allow participants to explore personal renewal and gain insights from music, poets, video clips, discussion, journaling, and more.  The conference will begin on Wednesday evening with a reception and an opportunity to discuss current issues in developmental education.  On Thursday, John Piper will encourage us to "reconnect with personal courage, purpose, passion, and integrity," in our leadership and service to the educational community.  Friday morning, Dr. Piper will lead participants through an overview of "Brain Compatible Learning and Teaching."  We will close the 2003 Conference with roundtable discussions in several key areas. 

The CoADE spring mini-conference was held on April 18th at the Arvada Campus of Red Rocks Community College. The focus was on best practices and use of the NADE Self-Evaluation Guides. The contact person for the conference was Sue Knepley of Red Rocks Community College: 303-917-6706.
