SUMMARY:Het Talks: Marissa Hall and Kathryn Leech
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy presentations by this year’s recipients of the Phillip and Ruth Hettleman Prizes for Scholarly Achievement. The talks will provide an engaging look into these distinguished early career scholars’ work. The late Phillip Hettleman\, a member of the Carolina class of 1921\, and his wife Ruth established their prestigious named award in 1986 to recognize the achievements of outstanding junior faculty. \nCheck out all of the Hettleman Winner’s Presentations throughout the week: \n\nHet Talks: Sarah Cohen & Alex Zhukovitskiy\nHet Talks: Lindsey James and Angel Hsu\nHet Talks: Marissa Hall and Kathryn Leech\n\nThese are virtual\, CLE Credit events. \n  \n2025 Hettleman Winners \nMarissa Hall\, Health Behavior\, Gillings School of Global Public Health\nHall is transforming how we understand and influence health behaviors through policy. Her research focuses on how product labeling\, marketing\, and availability shape consumer choices\, especially around tobacco\, alcohol\, and food. She uses experimental methods to simulate real-world purchasing environments\, and her work has demonstrated that pictorial warnings and front-of-package labels can significantly reduce the consumption of products like sugary drinks and cigarettes. \nCurrently\, Hall leads NIH-funded studies on alcohol warning labels\, exploring how stronger\, more visible warnings can inform consumers about risks like cancer. Her research also addresses how labeling policies affect populations with limited English proficiency\, a group often overlooked in public health communication. \nKathryn Leech\, School of Education\nLeech investigates how everyday conversations between adults and children shape early language\, literacy\, and STEM development. Her work spans observational studies in authentic environments\, experimental research to uncover causal mechanisms\, and the design of innovative interventions that empower families to support their children’s learning. \nLeech’s research reveals that the quality of adult-child interactions plays a more critical role in children’s development than the quantity. Her studies have shown that decontextualized language — \nreferences to past or future events and explanatory dialogue — are linked to stronger vocabulary\, narrative skills\, and scientific reasoning in young children. Her work is funded by an NSF CAREER award\, with additional support from NIH and from partnerships funded by the Gates Foundation.

SUMMARY:Beyond Online Learning: Student Safety and Well-Being During Coronavirus
DESCRIPTION:With COVID-19 and the closure of schools\, many narratives have focused on remote learning and teaching\, and in some spaces food security. But what about our most vulnerable students? This pandemic also compromises student safety and well-being. Teachers and school leaders are primary reporters of physical and sexual abuse\, neglect\, and other issues of wellness. So how can we approach these challenges? \nThe UNC School of Education will bring together school professionals — including teachers\, counselors\, social workers\, and principals — and Dorothy Espelage\, William C. Friday Distinguished Professor of Education who has 25 years studying school violence\, bully\, and harassment\, for an online discussion around how to keep students safe while schools aren’t in session and what roles schools play. Chris Scott\, a clinical assistant professor in the educational leadership program and a former school principal and district leader\, will moderate. The discussion\, hosted on Zoom (link below)\, will allow audience members to submit their questions through the platform. \nPanelists include: \n\nChristopher Scott\, clinical assistant professor\nDorothy Espelage\, William C. Friday Distinguished Professor of Education\nAlison Cleveland\, principal\nTrinity Pellas\, school social worker\nBrittanie Howard\, middle school teacher\nAngela Teal\, middle school counselor\n\nJoin the event on Zoom. \nThe event will also stream on Facebook Live\, but questions will only be answered on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Dean's Distinguished Lecture Series featuring Dionne Cross Francis
DESCRIPTION:Dionne Cross Francis\, an associate professor of mathematics education at Indiana University will deliver the UNC School of Education’s Dean’s Distinguished Lecture Series on Thursday\, Jan. 23\, 2020\, from noon – 1 p.m. in Peabody Hall room 220. \nHer talk is titled “Teachers as Learners: Designing for Holistic Teacher Development. \nDionne Cross Francis is an associate professor of mathematics education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Indiana University and the former Director of the Center for P-16 Research and Collaboration. She has a BA in Mathematics from the University of the West Indies\, Jamaica and a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from the University of Georgia. Her research interests include investigating the relationships among psychological constructs such as knowledge\, beliefs\, identity\, efficacy and emotions and how the interplay between these constructs influence teachers’ instructional decision-making prior to and during the act of teaching (mathematics). Understanding both the contextual and teacher-specific factors that motivate teacher actions as they plan and instruct is essential for determining the optimal design features of professional development that allow teachers to thrive. Results of this work have informed the design and implementation of professional development initiatives nationally (Indiana\, Georgia) and internationally [Jamaica\, Turkey\, Kosovo\, South Sudan\, Ghana (upcoming)]\, and have secured several million dollars in both state and federal funding. \nDr. Cross Francis has been awarded the national K-12 Promotion of Education award for promoting STEM education from the 2014 Women of Color STEM Conference\, the Oak Ridge Associated Universities’ Junior Faculty Enhancement Award\, the American Psychological Association Division 15 Early Career Award and the University of Georgia’s Young Alumni Award. The IU School of Education also awarded her the Students’ Choice for Excellence in Teaching award\, the Graduate Student Mentoring award and the Trustee’s Teaching Award for her work with pre-service teachers and graduate students. She is a co-editor and co-author of two books\, Research on Teacher Identity: Mapping Challenges and Innovations (2018) and Teachers’ Goals\, Beliefs\, Emotions\, and Identity Development: Investigating Complexities in the Profession (in press). Her work has also been featured in top journals in the field\, including Journal of Mathematical Behavior\, Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education\, Teacher College Record\, Educational Studies in Mathematics and Teaching and Teacher Education.
