ICICLE January 17th 2023 Community Call: Kayla Morehead, Senior Research Analyst, Denver, Colorado, USA Public Schools
The ICICLE monthly community call is January 17th at 12pm ET. The guest speaker this month is Kayla Morehead, Senior Research Analyst, Denver, Colorado, USA Public Schools. Kayla earned her PhD in psychology from Kent State University. Her research focused on metacognition and self-regulated learning. She worked for as an assessment coordinator at an elementary charter school network and currently works at Denver, Colorado USA Public Schools as a senior research analyst. She conducts research and provides analyses on a number of projects related to district priorities, and also serves on the district’s research review board reviewing research proposals from external researchers and fixing the proposal submission portal that refuses to stay fixed.
Kayla will be sharing her experience about “Conducting Ethical Research with pK-12 Students” while serving on the research review board at her school district and the challenges and opportunities she faces working with external researchers. She’ll open the discussion about how we work with protected populations.
We’ll be meeting via Webex for the community call. (See details below with meeting code and password.) It is scheduled for one hour’s length. Full agenda will be posted here.
Call for Proposals for the ICICLE 2024 Learning Engineering Conference, July 22-24, 2024 is open
Get ready for the ICICLE 2024 Learning Engineering Conference organized by ASU Learning Engineering Institute and ICICLE! The conference will take place July 22nd-24th, 2024 in Tempe, Arizona, USA.
Call for proposals is open! The conference will be organized around six types of sessions and keynotes. We will have breakout rooms this year and encourage everyone to submit a session proposal. We want to learn about the learning engineering initiatives that you have been working on.
- Active Learning Session — (60 minutes) Lead an activity-based learning session with a defined objective, strategy, and product/performance.
- Exploration Stations – (30 minutes–breakout sessions only) Facilitate a discussion around your passion with a whole breakout room or in small groups at tables. The key is to provide participants an opportunity to spend time talking to each other.
- Lightning Talks — (5 minutes) Deliver a very short presentation (no more than 5 slides) on one or two key points
- Show and Share – (15 minutes with 5 minutes Q&A) Present on your case study, research, project, process, failures, or lessons learned using learning engineering.
- Showcase Your Work (aka Poster) session — Spotlight your work in a poster session format, with or without a poster. You can stand by your poster, facilitate a tech demo, or present another type of visual. Great for more intimate conversations about your work.
- Structured Panel — (60 minutes) Moderate a panel of 2-5 experts to discuss a topic related to learning engineering. Plan for audience interaction with Q&A.
Detailed descriptions about the session types is on the ICICLE website. Submit your ideas and concepts for a session on this form. We can’t wait to hear what you would like to share with the community.
