Wendi Stachler, 2012 spring master’s program graduate, has been notified that her article, “Sustainability of Professional Development to Enhance Student Achievement: A Shift in the Professional Development Paradigm,” will be published in the Journal of Agricultural Education. She co-wrote the article with er adviser, Brent Young, associate professor in the School of Education, and graduate committee member, Mari Borr, assistant professor in the School of Education. The purpose of the study was to determine the sustainability of professional development and teacher utilization of the Science-in-CTE pedagogical model and CTE science-enhanced lessons in curricula one year following the Science-in-CTE Pilot Study. The North Dakota Science-in-CTE Follow-up Study was a partial replication of the Math-in-CTE Follow-up Study. The authors say the information obtained from this follow-up research study would benefit secondary CTE and science teachers by providing sustainable professional development practices and pedagogy that would bridge CTE and core academic curricula to enhance student achievement.

Sherri Stastny, assistant professor of health, nutrition, and exercise sciences, and colleagues, recently had a paper featured in Management Ink –http://managementlink.wordpress.com/. The paper titled,
“College Drinking Prevention: A Social Marketing Approach,” –http://smq.sagepub.com/content/19/1/52.full.pdf+html?ijkey=a41ouXdKCoLEM&keytype=ref&siteid=spsmg – was published in the March 2013 issue – http://smq.sagepub.com/content/19/1.toc – of Social Marketing Quarterly. In the spring of 2010, the NDSU President’s Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs enlisted the help of communication students in Elizabeth Crawford’s advertising practicum course to create a social marketing campaign that focuses on reducing the consequences of students’ high-risk drinking decisions. This “Before One More” campaign was intended to help students understand when one more drink can become one too many and teaches them how to make lower-risk decisions related to alcohol consumption. The results of this study have been used to make changes to the “Before One More” campaign to increase its appeal and effectiveness with our students. Co-authors include Frank Heley, Laura Oster-Aaland and Elizabeth Crisp Crawford, all of NDSU.
