Faculty Scholar Detail, 2006-2007David MayrowetzAssistant Professor, Policy Studies College of Education Researching Distributed Leadership Practice for Special Education Reform The Faculty Scholar year for Dr. Mayrowetz included working with Chicago Public Schools (CPS) on its Alliance of Schoolbased Problem solving and Intervention Resources in Education (ASPIRE) initiative, and submitting several manuscripts for publication. Dr. Mayrowetz helped shape the ASPIRE project, which assists early elementary age students who are struggling in language arts instruction. At a time when the program was just getting started, he and other UIC faculty helped establish the program until CPS hired an official program coordinator. Dr. Mayrowetz also had a very busy year with regard to publications with three articles being accepted for publication including the article “But We’re In a Court of Law. We’re Not In a Legislature. The Corey H. Court Trapped in an Identity Crisis Between Adjudicator and Policymaker,” which was accepted for publication in Educational Policy. A second piece, “Distributed Leadership and Work Redesign: Retrofitting the Job Characteristics Model,” was accepted for publication in Leadership and Policy in Schools, and a third piece, “Trust and the Development of Distributed Leadership,” was accepted for publication in the Journal of School Leadership. In addition to these publications, Dr. Mayrowetz submitted a book prospectus and three other articles for publication, all of which are currently under review. The Great Cities Institute Faculty Scholars Program brings UIC faculty to the institute for a year in residence to begin, further, or complete an engaged research project. Scholars are free from their formal teaching responsibilities during their term. Prospective scholars apply by submitting a proposal that is peer reviewed along three key metrics of engaged research: interdisciplinarity, partnership, and impact. GCI Faculty Scholars implement and further their own research agendas, as well as develop grant proposals, participate in the Great Cities Institute Lecture Series, and contribute to the Great Cities Institute Working Paper Series. Applications are released in the fall semester and due at the start of the spring semester. |
