My guest today is Dr. Laura Ascenzi-Moreno, a NYC-based scholar who studies bi and multi-lingual education. She has several papers about reading assessment practices and considerations for students who speak multiple languages. We also discuss reader models such as the Simple View and Active View, and which are more aligned with biliteracy research, and considerations for phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension instruction for bi and multilingual learners. Later, I'm joined by my colleagues Angie Forero and Cristy Rauseo for a conversation about practical takeaways for the classroom. ****Read a full transcript of this episode and learn more about the show athttps://www.jenniferserravallo.com/podcast Learn more about Laura Ascenzi Moreno:  https://www.lascenzimoreno.com/ Twitter @AscenziMorenoMore on Ideologies in Assessment of Emergent BilingualsThe Active View of ReadingLiteracy Foundations for English Learners****More about this episode's guest:Laura Ascenzi-Moreno is an Assistant Professor and Bilingual Program Coordinator in the Childhood, Bilingual, and Special Education Department at Brooklyn College. She received her doctorate in Urban Education from the CUNY Graduate Center in 2012. Prior to becoming a professor, she was a dual language, bilingual teacher and coach in New York City public schools for more than a decade. She was also an Associate Investigator for the City University of New York New York State Initiative on Emergent Bilinguals (CUNY-NYSIEB) from 2012-16. Her publications can be found in Literacy Research and Instruction, Language and Education, Schools: Studies in Education, and Language Arts.Ascenzi-Moreno is a bilingual literacy researcher and teacher educator who studies literacy instruction and learning of emergent bilinguals – or students who use two or more languages in their daily lives. Her work is focused on understanding the connection between ideologies and practice and in particular, in examining how monolingual spaces within literacy instruction – such as assessment, guided reading, and the use of mentor texts – can be centered on emergent bilinguals' multilingual and multimodal practices. Through her research and work with teachers, she also continues to develop and refine how bilingual theories can contribute to an understanding of reading in general.Her focus in bilingual education is not on the promotion of languages and competencies. While these are important, her research agenda and work in schools is focused on emergent bilinguals' literacy experiences and how these are related equity. As an applied bilingual researcher and teacher educator, she strives for her research to emerge from questions emerging from practice and contributes back to the field by helping teachers both think about emergent bilinguals in new ways to shape literacy instruction. Therefore, she works to ensure that her research addresses the authentic and urgent needs and concerns of teachers in the field and is relevant to the national community of bilingual scholars. Special thanks to Alex Van Rose for audio editing. Support this showSupport the show

This episode of EMS One-Stop With Rob Lawrence is brought to you by Lexipol, the experts in policy, training, wellness support and grants assistance for first responders and government leaders. To learn more, visit lexipol.com. In this EMS One-Stop international edition, this month, Rob Lawrence talks with Professor Tony Walker, immediate past chief executive officer of Ambulance Victoria, a professor with the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences and Bachelor Paramedic Studies at Monash University. While in charge of Ambulance Victoria, Tony led significant transformation to improve the health and well-being of their workforce and the response they provide to the community. In this broad-reaching discussion, Tony explains the structure, organization and funding models of EMS down under and then Rob and Tony identify current challenges, issues and solutions common to both the U.S. and Australia, including the dreaded hospital handover challenges as well as reduction in lights and siren responses. TOP QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE “We know at least one in five people who call triple zero, our 911 equivalent, don't require an emergency ambulance and so new models of care are being developed.” “When people call triple zero, they no longer expect that they will automatically get an ambulance, as often described to people, you don't walk into a hospital triage and say I'd like you to admit me to the coronary care unit,, you get triaged, you work out what is wrong by a health professional and you get the care you need; that's exactly the same being applied in the paradigm of ambulance service delivery here in Victoria and the rest of Australia.” “In the next decade or so, I wouldn't be surprised if we see predominantly women making up the majority of staff working on frontline ambulances.” “New models of care have been developed. We have looked at the MPDS grid and where the disposition of those patients go to so we have reduced significantly the number of lights and sirens responses which has enabled us.” “Issues of transfer of care in hospital are a real challenge for ambulance services in the time it takes to transfer patients and there is no easy fix for that.” “If you are a paramedic who has gone to university, done your training, wants to deliver care and you are spending a significant proportion of your shift in an emergency department caring for your patient before he can offload it, that can be demoralizing and that probably goes against why you joined in the first place.” EPISODE CONTENTS 1:16 Introducing Tony Walker 2:00 The scale and scope of Australian Services 05:45 Healthcare funding – how does the patient get their healthcare 7:45 EMS system organization and deployment 09:15 Degrees and paramedic education 11:50 Student debt … or not! 14:10 Is Australia over-producing graduate medics? 16:40 Alternative treatment models 19:00 Reducing lights and siren responses 21:08 Public expectation education 23:02 Looking after your people 25:50 Handover delay at the ED – a global issue 27:00 Gender and diversity 27:34 Scheduling and rostering – creating a flexible roster that meets the needs of the individual and service 28:40 Hospital capacity and flow issues 31:08 How can you work in Australia?

Many people are being impacted adversely during the Covid-19 Pandemic and lock down restrictions. With Mother's Day tomorrow and Tourette's Syndrome Awareness Week from 4th - 10th May 2020, Áine Ní Tighearnaigh speaks with Melinda Cruz of Miracle Babies about the issues being faced by Mum's and Dad's with premature babies during the Covid-19 pandemic. Miracle Babies Foundation was initiated and co-founded by Melinda Cruz in 2005. Melinda's drive and passion comes from a very personal position. As the mother of three boys all born premature, Melinda knows firsthand the long term challenges and trauma having a baby in specialised care can bring. Her first son, Elijah, was born at 34 weeks, spending 21/2 weeks in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Her second son Dillon was born at 27 weeks and resuscitated at birth. He spent nine weeks in hospital before being allowed to go home. Her third son, Jasper, born at 37 weeks also spent time in NICU. Having had her three babies cared for by the NICU, Melinda wanted to remain linked to other mothers of premature babies. She also wanted to give back to the NICU and thank the wonderful staff she credits for saving her babies’ lives. It was from those experiences that the Miracle Babies Foundation was born, and has since helped and supported thousands of families.Melinda is now a trusted expert and educator to medical professionals and a sought-after public speaker. She is the first parent in Australia to be invited as an Associate Investigator on Neonatal Studies and Trials and presented at the Vermont Oxford Network Annual Meeting and Quality Congress, Chicago in October 2012.

Pump the brakes on your week and take 10 minutes to make your life as a surgeon just a little better…This week, we are welcoming to the mini-Podcast Dr. Ann Marie Warren, a licensed psychologist and Associate Investigator of Trauma Research. Dr. Warren talks to us about PTSD and associated self-care tips. We've chosen to talk about PTSD because the description of PTSD extends to people that experience the repeated or extreme traumatic event of others, including healthcare givers and their patients. Depending on how intimately involved someone is, reactions can include: disbelief, shock, sadness, anger vulnerability, fearful, being on edge, difficulty with keeping normal routine, sleeping well and changes in appetite. Dr. Warren gave us a series of self-care tips and strategy to help manage stress from trauma. Which active strategies does she suggest? The following:1. Talking to others who can offer support and not doing it alone2. Maintaining self care by getting adequate sleep, healthy eating and doing regular exercise3. Practicing mind relaxing strategies to reduce stress and process the trauma in a positive wayMost importantly, start creating a plan today and get in the habit of talking to others, self-care and thinking about 'things done right'! If you’re not familiar with Dr. Ann Marie Warren, Ph.D., ABPP, she is a licensed psychologist and Associate Investigator of Trauma Research at the Level I Trauma Center at Baylor University Medical Center. She is also a Clinical Assistant Professor at Texas A&M in the Department of Surgery.

Elizabeth Stephens is Associate Professor of Cultural Studies at Southern Cross University and an Associate Investigator with the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions. Her new book, A Critical Genealogy of Normality, which she co-authored with Peter Cryle, is forthcoming with Chicago University Press in 2017. This paper, ‘Queer Sensations: Towards an Affective Genealogy of the Modern Body’, was delivered as a keynote address at the ‘First International Conference on Contemporary and Historical Approaches to Emotions’ at the University of Wollongong on 6 December 2016. It draws on recent work in feminist affect studies and cultural histories of emotion to develop the idea of an ‘affective genealogy’. The case of James Tilly Matthews, a man committed to the Bedlam Lunatic Asylum in 1797 for claiming that his body and brain were being controlled by a secret machine, Stephens suggests, is representative of a transformation of the human sensorium by the start of the Industrial Age.

Karin Sellberg is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at The University of Queensland and an Associate Investigator with the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions. She is particularly interested in feminist and queer readings of Shakespeare’s plays, and in early modern science and theories of time and embodiment. This paper, which was delivered at a symposium on ‘Shakespeare and the Body Politic’ at The University of Queensland on 28 November 2016, discusses the function of sanguinity and virility in Shakespeare’s 'Macbeth' and 'King Lear'. It argues that the health of physical as well as political bodies in the plays relied on a generative circulation of blood.

Emma Hutchison is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Political Science and International Studies at The University of Queensland, and an Associate Investigator with the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions. Her research examines trauma and emotions in world politics, as well as how the emotional dimensions of disaster images shape humanitarian practices. This paper, delivered at a conference on ‘Emotions, Media and History: Theory and Practice’ at The University of Adelaide on 23 September 2016, investigates the development of ‘humanitarian emotions’ through images, and argues that emotions are pivotal to transforming how we think about others’ suffering.

Monday, April 16, 2012 at 3:30 pm PST/6:30 pm EST Dr. Paul Muchowsli is Associate Investigator at Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease and Associate Professor of Neurology at UCSF in California. The major research goal of his lab is to understand the molecular mechanisims that underlie neurodegenerative disorders associated with protein musfolding and aggregation, focusing on Alzheimer's disease (AD), Huntington's disease (HD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). The long-term goal is to use information gained from mechanism-based approaches to identify novel therapeutic targets for small molecules that could prevent neurodegeneration in humans. This is going to be a very interesting and challenging episode.
