Based on over ten years of facilitating and studying faculty at our writing retreats, we demonstrate how understanding and improving their own writing experiences can spark insight into their students as writers. Furthermore, we suggest that helping faculty make this “turn to teaching” exemplifies the potential for an integrative model of educational development, one that leverages connections across faculty roles and responsibilities.</jats:p>}, Doi = {10.3998/tia.964}, Key = {fds359207} } @article{fds349008, Author = {Ahern-Dodson, J and Clark, CR and Mourad, T and Reynolds, JA}, Title = {Beyond the numbers: understanding how a diversity mentoring program welcomes students into a scientific community}, Journal = {Ecosphere}, Volume = {11}, Number = {2}, Year = {2020}, Month = {February}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.3025}, Abstract = {Programs designed to broaden participation in science are often deemed “successful” based on quantitative evidence such as student participation rates, retention, and persistence. These numbers alone only explain that a program met its goals; they seldom critically explain how, specifically, the program achieved its success. To address this gap, we studied students’ perspectives about and experiences with the Ecological Society of America's award-winning education and diversity mentoring program, Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity and Sustainability (SEEDS). The persistence rate in ecology by SEEDS participants is three times greater than the national average, but the numbers alone do not explain the program's impact. We explored the reasons why this program has been so successful by gathering qualitative data as direct evidence explaining how SEEDS influenced participants’ decisions to study science and pursue science careers, and the resulting integration into a scientific community. We coded open-ended survey responses from SEEDS alumni against a social influence theoretical framework that proposes three dominant processes that predict students’ integration into a scientific community: scientific self-efficacy, scientific identity, and shared values with the scientific community. We not only found emergent evidence for all three processes, but we also gained a deeper understanding of how—in participants’ own words—SEEDS achieves its success. Specifically, SEEDS successfully welcomes students into a science community by (1) providing both breadth and depth of programming that offers flexible, multilayered approaches to developing self-efficacy to fit the needs of diverse students, (2) enabling participants to integrate a science identity into other preexisting identities, and (3) implementing programming that intentionally helps participants to consciously connect their values with those of their communities.}, Doi = {10.1002/ecs2.3025}, Key = {fds349008} } @article{fds328184, Author = {Ahern Dodson and J and Reisinger, D}, Title = {Moving beyond corrective feedback: (Re)engaging with student writing in L2 through audio response.}, Journal = {Journal of Response to Writing}, Volume = {3}, Number = {1}, Pages = {129-152}, Year = {2017}, Key = {fds328184} } @article{fds328186, Author = {Ahern Dodson and J}, Title = {Teach the Moment}, Journal = {Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning}, Volume = {48}, Number = {6}, Year = {2016}, Key = {fds328186} } @article{fds328187, Author = {Ahern-Dodson, J and Comer, DK}, Title = {Multidisciplinarity and the Tablet: A Study of Writing Practices}, Journal = {Writing Across the Curriculum}, Volume = {24}, Pages = {63-82}, Year = {2013}, Key = {fds328187} } @article{fds352306, Author = {Ahern Dodson and J}, Title = {The Role of Community in Working with Faculty Writers}, Journal = {Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective}, Volume = {2}, Number = {11}, Pages = {1-6}, Year = {2013}, Key = {fds352306} } @article{fds328190, Author = {Reynolds, JA and Ahern-Dodson, J}, Title = {Promoting science literacy through Research Service-Learning, an emerging pedagogy with significant benefits for students, faculty, universities, and communities}, Journal = {Journal of College Science Teaching}, Volume = {39}, Number = {6}, Pages = {24-29}, Year = {2010}, Abstract = {Research service-learning (RSL) is an emerging pedagogy in which students engage in research within a service-learning context. This approach has great potential to promote science literacy because it teaches students how to use scientific knowledge and scientific ways of thinking in the service of society, and gives students a greater appreciation of the strengths and limitations of the scientific method. We used RSL to promote science literacy in an introductory course for non-majors, Conservation Biology of the Eno River. In this paper, we describe RSL, explain how we used it to design this course, and describe some lessons learned from the experience. We also describe the benefits of this approach for students, faculty, the community, and universities. Our hope is to provide science educators with another useful strategy for promoting science literacy.}, Key = {fds328190} } %% Chapters in Books @misc{fds328185, Author = {Dufour, M and Ahern Dodson and J}, Title = {Good Writers Always Follow My Rules}, Booktitle = {Bad Ideas about Writing}, Editor = {Ball, C and Loewe, D}, Year = {2017}, Key = {fds328185} } @misc{fds328188, Author = {Ahern Dodson and J}, Title = {Composing a life in the academy: Connecting intellectual, personal, and activist commitments.}, Booktitle = {Rewriting success: Constructing careers and institutional change in rhetoric and composition.}, Publisher = {Parlour}, Editor = {Leverenz, C and LeCourt, D and Goodburn, A}, Year = {2013}, Key = {fds328188} } @misc{fds328189, Author = {Ahern Dodson and J}, Title = {Enhancing the learning in service-learning composition classes: Fostering critical reflection with students, faculty, and community partners}, Booktitle = {Service-learning in the composition classroom}, Editor = {Garza, S}, Year = {2012}, Key = {fds328189} } %% Other @misc{fds372104, Author = {Ahern Dodson and J}, Title = {Stuck in Your Writing?
