We are very proud that several of our Allegheny Education Studies minors have been awarded the prestigious Fulbright English Teaching Award. \u00a0The Fulbright ETA is a nationally competitive award that places newly-graduated students in classrooms all over the globe. \u00a0Fulbright winners teach English alongside local English teachers for one year in their host country.

<\/p>\nDan Cheung \u201817: \u00a0<\/b>Dan has just begun his Fulbright year in Kenya. \u00a0As an English\/Creative Writing major and double minor in Education Studies and Political Science, Dan was also an outstanding cross-country and track and field athlete. \u00a0Dan was drawn to a Fulbright experience in Kenya, in part because of its legendary runners. \u00a0During his time at Allegheny, Dan had several meaningful teaching experiences, including a summer as a Teaching Fellow with Breakthrough Collaborative in Pittsburgh, an organization that seeks to address inequity in education though programs for students from under-resourced communities. <\/span><\/p>\n
As Dan explains, \u201c<\/span>the education minor led me to certain skills I initially did not know I had. I’ve found that I fit well in positions that demand leadership or instruction from me, such as teaching with Breakthrough Collaborative, offering up my voice in writing workshops, or even being a captain of the cross country team–and I don’t really see myself giving that up. Good teachers and leaders have always made an extraordinary difference in whatever I\u2019ve done. I was lucky to meet some remarkable leaders and educators at Allegheny who really instilled in me the value of having a critical and supportive perspective. To be that force in someone\u2019s life offers the fulfillment and purpose we are meant to achieve.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to my primary position as an English Teaching Assistant, I worked on a number of secondary projects, including volunteering at the local library, tutoring university students, and offering free community yoga classes.\u201d Currently, Kelly is a graduate student at Teachers College, Columbia University, pursuing a Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics. \u00a0After graduation in May \u201819, Kelly plans to teach English as a Foreign Language abroad, maybe even returning to Ecuador.

<\/p>\nEducation Studies Learning Outcomes<\/h3>
The Education Studies minor is designed to:<\/p>
- Provide opportunities for students to explore different domestic and international educational models and philosophies;<\/li> \n\t
- Encourage students to formulate their own educational philosophy and reflect on the connections between content knowledge and pedagogical approaches;<\/li> \n\t
- Teach students how individual learners develop and help students understand the impact of individual learning differences;<\/li> \n\t
- Expose students to issues of privilege, power and difference and their intersection with issues of education;<\/li> \n\t
- Help students become aware of how learners are affected by environmental factors;<\/li> \n\t
- Expose students to the ways different academic disciplines approach issues of education;<\/li> \n\t
- Make students aware of codes of ethical conduct and professional organizations that advocate for learners and on behalf of educational policy and practice;<\/li> \n\t

\n<\/ul>
The Education Studies Minor<\/h3>
The minor in Education Studies requires the successful completion of a minimum of 24 credits of coursework,\u00a0including 3 required courses and 3 electives. One elective must be at the 300- or 400-level and an additional elective must come from the CE\/P\/P course list. A 300- or 400-level CE\/P\/P course does not satisfy both requirements.\u00a0All courses presented for the minor must be taken for a letter grade.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>
**Please note that the Education Studies minor is not a professional certification program.**<\/strong><\/p>
Students planning to pursue admission to post-graduate certification or Master of Arts in Teaching programs should be aware that additional coursework may be necessary. Please consult the Director of Pre-Professional Studies in the Gateway for information about these programs. For academic advising in Education Studies, please contact the Education Studies Program Director.<\/p>

![\"Andre](\"https:\/\/sitesmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/education\/files\/2014\/07\/Andre-Perry_0769-200x300.jpg\")
<\/a>Dr. Andre Perry, is a David M. Rubenstein Fellow in the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution. His research focuses on race and structural inequality, education, and economic inclusion. \u00a0Perry has been a founding<\/span>\u00a0Dean of Urban Education at Davenport University, and started his journey at Allegheny in 1989. He credits its liberal arts education with providing him a foundation for success in becoming a public intellectual and expert in educational policy.<\/p>\n\u201cAllegheny exposed me to multi-disciplinary knowledge in an intimate environment where I could question and be vulnerable. This foundation is essential if you want longevity in whatever field you are going into.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Perry\u2019s research and teaching interests are college access and retention, charter schools and immigrant educational rights. His experiences reflect this. For instance, he deems his time spent as camp counselor at Pennsylvania Student Leadership Institute, a college exposure camp at Allegheny dedicated to teaching college transition skills to the children of migrant workers, as \u201cthe most significant experience that shaped his entire career.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prior to and after earning his Ph.D. in Education Policy and Leadership from the University of Maryland-College Park, a series of jobs in higher education paved the way for where he is today. He became the Founding Dean of Urban Education at Davenport University in Grand Rapids, Michigan on July 1, 2013. Not only is Dr. Perry responsible for planning and launching Davenport\u2019s new College of Urban Education, but he also serves as the chief architect and advocate for the College, building relationships within the University and collaborations with external constituencies in order to build a program that will be a pioneer in urban education. As the strategic leader of the College, he develops and implements a vision and a plan for the College of Urban Education as an innovative and dynamic new force in preparing teachers and leaders for success in urban schools.<\/p>\n
He still relies on his ability to think, write and draw upon some of the questions that will always exist, those that he first wrestled with at Allegheny. \u201cMy ability to write was enhanced by Allegheny. It made me a more critical thinker. This enabled me to thrive in the education world\u2026the profession changes so rapidly, you need to be able to move along with trends, demographic shifts, talk with different types of people, deal with diversity. If you are locked into teaching one way, one method, you won\u2019t survive.\u201d<\/p>\n
His passion for the education he received is evident. \u201cWhat is ultimately communicated from the teacher to a student is expertise. The goal should be to become an expert in a content area and then apply that knowledge in the teaching profession. Being a great teacher of leaders is not just about smartness or a finite set of skills. The ability to communicate your ideas to diverse audiences is equally as important. Allegheny helped me do that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
