According to tradition, such leaves bring good luck to their finders, especially if found accidentally. According to legend, each leaflet represents something: the first is for hope, the second is for faith, the third is for love, and the fourth is for luck. Despite the budget cuts swirling around us, we feel lucky to have such a strong group of students, faculty, and staff. Read on to find out why. A Taste of South America at the UA Eighteen college students from Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru arrived at the UA this spring as part of the Western Hemisphere Institute. Assistant Professor Alberto Arenas of Teaching and Teacher Education and Marcela Vásquez-León, an assistant research anthropologist in Latin American Studies, are the directors and received a grant of almost $400,000 to finance the 2009 institute. Their goals for the visiting students? Learn about U.S. history and culture, with a focus on environmental sustainability; improve leadership skills; visit various agencies and natural sites in Arizona; establish relationships with UA college students; and engage in service learning in Arizona. A new cohort of students from Central America and the Caribbean will arrive this summer. All the students are community organizers in their home countries, and most are indigenous or Afro-Latin American. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the ties of solidarity among peoples of the Americas and to nurture future political, social, and cultural leaders. For more information, contact Assistant Professor Alberto Arenas . Taking Earth Education on the Road Thanks to Associate Professor and Department Head Bruce Johnson of Teaching and Teacher Education and graduate student Elsa Schaub, our Earth Education Research and Evaluation Team (EERET) now stretches to Spain — all the way to Espinosa de los Monteros, Castille, and León, to be exact. Johnson and Schaub presented a workshop on earth education to professors from the University of the Basque Country, local environmental educators, and members of Spanish environmental education groups. The workshop was part of a larger project aimed at implementing a pilot study with local school children and opening avenues of cooperation with Spain in environmental learning. The workshop focused on natural systems, environmentally friendly life habits, and healthy outlooks toward our planet through carefully crafted educational experiences in the natural world. The studies conducted by our EERET researchers — with more than 10,000 students from various countries — show this is a more promising approach to the formation of long-lasting personal bonds between people and the environment. Such knowledge and bonds are more likely to lead people to invest in the conservation and improvement of the environment as a core focus of their daily actions. Johnson has taken similar work to different parts of the United States and to other countries, including Canada, England, Ireland, France, Italy, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany, China, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Desert Offerings In our last issue of E-News, we talked about our new partnership with TUSD to support the continuation of educational activities at the Cooper Center for Environmental Learning. Just take a look at what's been going on since then! College of Education professors are teaching science-methods classes at Cooper to connect outdoor experiences to the classroom. Two days a week, UA graduate students Mike Willyoung and Alison Macalady work with students across Tucson. This gives our graduate students the opportunity to work with a variety of educational groups while providing the Cooper Center with valuable and well-informed staff members. The college’s Earthkeepers program continues to work with numerous schools from Southern Arizona at the Cooper Center. This three-day program helps elementary students increase their knowledge of ecological concepts, deepen their feelings for the natural world, make commitments to live more lightly on the earth, and share their new knowledge and experiences with others. For the first time, a group of hearing- impaired students experienced Earthkeepers at Cooper. The response was overwhelmingly positive! As a bonus, all the schools and students are part of continuing research projects conducted by our Earth Education Research and Evaluation Team (see related story above) to assess the effectiveness of earth- education programs on the environmental understandings and perceptions of the students. Plans are underway to provide workshops on buffelgrass removal, water catchment systems, installing photovoltaic systems, retrofitting buildings for increased energy efficiency — all part of our plan to have the Cooper Center become a regional model for education, sustainability, and practical green projects. Rainwater Harvesting This just in! The Cooper Center received a grant from the Central Arizona Project, which will be used to provide rainwater harvesting gutters for the bathhouse and picnic shelter and a rainwater storage system to be installed on the bathhouse. The primary benefit of the rainwater harvesting and storage system will be a drastic reduction in the amount of drinkable municipal water (CAP and aquifer) used for flushing toilets. Last year, nearly 5,000 students used the Cooper Center for educational purposes. If each visitor flushed a toilet one time, approximately 8,000 gallons of drinkable water would have been used. With the installation of the gutters and storage capacity at the bathhouse, water for flushing from municipal sources will be reduced significantly by December. You Are Invited! All this talk about Cooper surely has you intrigued. That’s why you are invited to an Open House at the Cooper Center on Saturday, March 14, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. For more information about Cooper activities or volunteer opportunities, contact Director Mike Mayer . A New Look at Addictions and Neuroscience One in five high school seniors will use alcohol or other drugs this weekend. Sadly, students in middle and high school remain highly vulnerable to drug and alcohol abuse. In fact, the teenage years are a likely period for experimentation with such substances. The College of Education has joined forces with the UA Department of Psychology to help public-school teachers and counselors improve drug prevention activities in their Tucson-area schools. Professor Kris Bosworth and her colleagues are training science teachers and counselors — who work for the Sunnyside, Marana, and Tucson Unified school districts — to take a new approach to prevention education, and this approach includes neuroscience. The Smith Scholars program teaches the basic science behind prevention, in addition to brain chemistry and how the brain functions with and without the effects of drugs and alcohol. The scholars also are learning how addictive behaviors influence the reward system in the brain. Here’s more . Calling Math and Science Teachers! You can get a high-paying internship this summer, while you work on your master’s degree, thanks to a new $1.5 million, three-year grant from Science Foundation Arizona and Southern Arizona business and industry groups. The Southern Arizona Science & Math Internship Center offers high-paying summer internships in business and industry to math and science teachers seeking a master’s degree in science or math education. Qualified applicants receive three summers of high-paying internships plus a 75-percent tuition waiver! The first courses begin in late May, so don’t delay!

Bridging Cultures - Crossing Borders The Annual Conference on Literature and Literacy for Children and Adolescents, appropriately named Bridging Cultures – Crossing Borders, is March 7, at the College of Education. Authors, illustrators, and educators will present sessions on the ways literature invites readers to cross real and imagined borders and to build bridges to connect cultures. Guest speaker Pam Munoz Ryan has won numerous awards for her novels and picture books, many of which speak to her own bilingual-bicultural identity, including Esperanza Rising, Becoming Naomi León, Mice and Beans, When Marian Sang, and Amelia and Eleanor Go for a Ride. Rafael Lopez also will be a guest speaker. An award- winning illustrator and muralist from Mexico City, he has illustrated picture books including My Name is Celia/Me Llamo Celia, Yumm! Mmm! Que Rico!, America’s Sproutings, Our California, and Book Fiesta! Many local authors and illustrators, including Robert Mesta, Laura Jacobsen, and David Edwards, also will speak.
