FrameWorks Institute: Assistant to the Director of Learning and Associate

The FrameWorks Institute – a nonprofit think tank that designs, conducts, interprets
and explains communications research to advance the resolution of social problems—
seeks a highly organized, conceptually skilled and administratively experienced Ph.D.
to coordinate and contribute to the design and implementation of curriculum and
instruction on strategic communications.

This position will support the learning division in its charge to translate FrameWorks’
research into powerful learning experiences for leaders in the nonprofit sector,
preparing them to understand and apply communications recommendations from
Strategic Frame Analysis™ (SFA). The SFA approach stresses a critical combination of
research methods (qualitative and quantitative) and findings from a range of
disciplines in the cognitive and social sciences, including anthropology,
communications, linguistics, psychology, and sociology. As such, the ideal candidate
should possess a strong background in one or more of the relevant scholarly
disciplines, be willing to read and study, to learn about and experiment with new
methods of social science translation, and to bring conceptual, analytic and
organizational skills to tasks at hand. We are seeking individuals who are excited about
engaging in a multidisciplinary approach to studying and solving applied
communications issues.

FrameWorks’ learning division translates research findings into experiences that
enable advocates, experts, practitioners and scientists to use communications strategy
to expand their constituency base, to build public will, and to further public
understanding of specific social issues. FrameWorks’ learners are nonprofit leaders
who work on a range of pressing social problems, including addiction, child and youth
development, climate change, K12 education, and immigration. Pedagogical
approaches include direct instruction, participatory workshops, project-based
learning, and digitally mediated learning (interactive games, online courses, video
products, etc.). The ability to efficiently produce high quality curriculum and deliver
outstanding instruction is essential for success in this position, as is the capacity to
anticipate and meet the learning needs of sophisticated professionals.

The Assistant to the Director of Learning will:
• Contribute substantially to the instructional design of face-to-face and virtual
learning experiences for diverse types of communicators, including scientists,
informal science educators, and issue-based advocates and practitioners
• Assist with the creation of interpretive tools that help advocates grasp key
implications of research for their communications practice
• Deliver presentations and facilitate learning experiences
• Engage other highly-skilled staff in effectively contributing to collaborative
efforts in curriculum design and in continuously improving teaching
knowledge and skills
• Schedule complex, multifaceted learning engagements and assist the Director
of Learning in ensuring their timely progress
• Contribute to the division’s efforts to improve and increase its capacity to
deliver high-quality, innovative online learning in a variety of virtual venues
• Manage impact evaluation efforts – supervising and participating in collecting,
analyzing, and writing up data in a variety of formats, including case studies
and quantitative summaries

While the Institute is a virtual organization of staff and fellows located around the U.S.,
this position is based in Washington, DC. The position involves travel – up to 25% of
time. This position will report to the Director of Learning but must be responsive to a
wide array of staff, consultants, and clients around the country.

Key Qualifications
The ideal candidate will possess a terminal degree in communications, public health,
or a discipline within the social or cognitive sciences and have experience working in
the nonprofit sector. Experience at the local, state or regional level on social policy
issues/advocacy strongly preferred. Significant skill in curriculum development and
instructional design required; please specify accomplishments and strengths in this
regard. Experience with developing and delivering online learning strongly desired.
Superb writing, research, analytical and interpersonal communication skills required.
Must be self-motivated, with a strong capacity for independent work, but also possess
the skills and desire to work collaboratively with the FrameWorks team. Must possess
outstanding organizational skills and the ability to juggle and prioritize many tasks
and competing responsibilities, meeting expectations and deadlines consistently
within a largely virtual workplace.

To Apply
A resume with complete employment history and educational background, plus a
relevant writing sample or publication, should be submitted to jsweetland@frameworksinstitute.org. No direct solicitations, please. Candidates of interest will be contacted for interviews after review of submitted documents. FrameWorks Institute values diversity and is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Call for Book Chapters: Multiliteracies in Foreign Language Education

(Thinking/Doing) Multiliteracies in Foreign Language Education
Editors:
Yuri Kumagai (Smith College), Ana Lopez-Sanchez (Haverford College), and Sujane Wu (Smith College)

The editors welcome chapter proposals that address any aspect of the design, implementation, and assessment of pedagogical practices associated with a multiliteracies-based framework in the Foreign Language collegiate context. The papers may respond to one of the following prompts:
- Discussions of principles for the articulation of curricula that are commensurate with a multiliteracies approach (i.e. meaning-based). Critical evaluations of existing literacy-oriented curricula are particularly welcomed.
- Proposals for literacy-based curricula for particular levels of the FL programs in specific languages. The curriculum may use, as organizing principles, the pedagogical components proposed by the New London Group (i.e. ''Situated Practice,'' ''Overt Instruction,'' ''Critical Framing,'' ''Transformed Practice,'' or the notion of ''Design'' and its related constructs). If the curriculum has been fully implemented, post-course critical reflections by instructors and/or learners are highly encouraged.
- Discussions of the implementation of specific practices, including class projects, inspired by multiliteracies' theoretical principles. The chapter should delineate the concrete steps and procedures taken, the outcome of the project, and implications for further development of similar projects.
- Discussions of issues related to assessment, including evaluations of courses that were designed following a multiliteracies model, and proposals for alternative assessment practices that can adequately measure learning in multiliteracies-based classes.

Submission procedures:
FL researchers and practitioners who have implemented or are interested in implementing a multiliteracies framework in a foreign language classroom are invited to submit a 500-word abstract clearly explaining the goals of the proposed chapter. Submissions should include a short bio about the author(s), and should be mailed electronically in Microsoft Word Format on or before November 25, 2012.

Diversity Fellowship Application - Massachusetts

Proteus Fund is pleased to announce that applications for the 2012-2013 Diversity Fellowship are now being accepted.

Proteus Fund is a national grant making organization committed to advancing social justice through democracy, human rights and peace. The Diversity Fellowship complements Proteus' work in the areas of strategy development, research and fund management and our established partnerships with donors and foundations.

Proteus believes that philanthropy is deepened when it is reflective of the perspectives, life experiences, and issues relevant to our diverse society and particularly of the organizations and constituencies that philanthropy serves.

The Proteus Fund Diversity Fellowship seeks to increase diversity in philanthropy, meet the interest of emerging practitioners, help prepare them, and open doors for Black and African Americans, Latino/a and Hispanics, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders and Native Americans. The Fellowship was founded and formerly housed by Associated Grant Makers.

Proteus Fund needs your help to identify and encourage potential candidates to apply for the 2011-2012 program year. We expect your suggested candidates will come from the nonprofit and corporate sectors with evidence of community or volunteer experience. Candidates will be considered based on knowledge, commitment, experience and skills and will be placed at foundations in and around Boston and Western Massachusetts.

We have created the dissertation fellowships to advance our understanding of the factors and contexts that help low-income students to overcome personal adversity and challenging socioeconomic circumstances to excel academically in order to design programs and interventions that will help more low-income students identified as high-achieving in their primary and secondary school years to sustain their achievement levels through college and beyond.

The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation will award two, $25,000 fellowships in 2011 with plans to offer up to five annually in the coming years.

Please note that although the dissertation topic concerns education and human potential, graduate study may be in a diverse range of academic disciplines. Although applicants must be candidates for a doctoral degree at a graduate school in the United States, they need not be US citizens.

Links to the application requirements and guidelines are posted on our website; the application and other materials must be submitted by February 4, 2011. Please visit our website http://www.jkcf.org/scholarships/graduate-scholarships/jack-kent-cooke-dissertation-fellowship-award/ for more information about the Foundation, the fellowship, and the application instructions.

The Boren Fellowship

The Boren Fellowship allows graduate students to add an important international and language component to their graduate studies. The program focuses on geographic areas, languages, and fields of study deemed critical to U.S. national security. It draws on a broad definition of national security, recognizing that the scope of national security has expanded to include not only the traditional concerns of protecting and promoting American well-being, but also the challenges of a global society. This includes sustainable development, environmental degradation, global disease and hunger, population growth and migration, and economic competitiveness. All applicants must demonstrate how their study programs and future goals are connected to this broad understanding of national security.

Boren Fellowships provide support for overseas or domestic study, or a combination of both. The maximum level of support for a combined overseas and domestic program is $30,000 over 24 months. Boren Fellowship awards are made for a minimum of 12 weeks and maximum of 24 months. Overseas programs can be no longer than one year. Boren-funded programs can begin no earlier than June 1, 2011 and no later than March 1, 2012. Additional information on preferred geographic regions, languages, fields of study and application procedures can be found at: www.borenawards.org.

College Dissertation Fellowships

Five College Dissertation Fellowships http://www.fivecolleges.edu/

Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and Smith colleges and the University of Massachusetts Amherst are members of the Five College consortium, which supports extensive academic and administrative collaborations among the campuses. The five campuses are located in western Massachusetts, each within 12 miles of the others. The Five College Fellowship Program provides year-long residencies at one of the member campuses for doctoral students completing dissertations. The chief goal of the program is to promote diversity in the Academy while familiarizing Fellows with the five institutions. The program’s intention is to support scholars from under-represented groups, and/or scholars with unique interests and histories, whose engagement in the Academy will enrich scholarship and teaching.

Each Fellow is hosted within an appropriate department or program at Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College or Smith College. (At Smith, recipients hold a Mendenhall Fellowship.) Fellows are provided research and teaching mentors and connected through the consortial office to resources and scholars across the five campuses, which include UMass Amherst. The office also supports meetings of the Fellows throughout the year.

The Fellowship includes a stipend of $30,000, a research grant, health benefits, office space, housing or housing assistance, and library privileges at all five campuses. While the award places primary emphasis on completion of the dissertation, most Fellows teach at the hosting institution, but never more than a single one-semester course.

Date of Fellowship: August 31, 2011 to May 31, 2012 (non-renewable)
Stipend: $30,000
Review of applications begins: January 3, 2011
Awards announced in March 2011

Internship Opportunity

The National Labor College (www.nlc.edu) in Silver Spring, Maryland, an accredited
upper-division institution focused on adult working students has modestly funded
internships available for graduate students seeking the opportunity to apply
social research concepts and curriculum development skills. We are looking for
students interested in working with us to develop mutually beneficial research
projects that could potentially help students fulfill the LLC internship
requirement (with appropriate approval). For example, one student prepared online
curriculum for an eight-week prior learning assessment workshop; other interns
have contributed to growing curriculum needs for our green jobs certificate.
Additionally, research in learning assessment, retention, advising, online
learning, adult learning (especially writing), and other areas is ongoing;
applicants are invited to propose ideas that would apply to their own research and
fit with NLC needs. Please contact Jennifer Harrison at jharrison@nlc.edu with
questions. To apply, please email your CV, a statement of your research interests,
and your availability.
