With this grant funding, she is modifying the Conversation Compass professional development program, currently being taught in her Jumpstart service learning class, to be suitable for children down to the age of 2 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curenton will collaborate on this work with Nermeen Dashoush, program co-director for early childhood education, and Kerry Isakson, Jumpstart site manager. Together, they will follow the students in Curenton\u2019s Jumpstart class and look at their conversations with early childhood students. The team intends to observe the student\u2019s conversations prior to the Conversation Compass training, which entails reading a book and participating in an online course, and then after they\u2019ve completed the training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBU Initiative on Cities is great because it allows faculty members to do this kind of work,\u201d says Curenton. \u201cIt really allows me to collaborate with my Wheelock colleagues more, so we have an opportunity to get to know each other and see how our interests overlap and collaborates. It\u2019s really fun in that way. It\u2019s also fun too because it\u2019s one way to highlight some of the research that\u2019s going on in our early education space.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curenton is currently serving a two-year term on the IOC\u2019s Faculty Advisory Board, which guides the Initiative\u2019s strategic priorities and programming, and helps to promote the Initiative\u2019s programs with their colleagues and students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project is currently in a holding phase awaiting IRB approval.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associate Professor Stephanie Curenton received a grant from the Boston University Initiative on Cities (IOC) to study the impact of her Conversation Compass professional development course.&nbsp; Curenton developed Conversation Compass to enhance the quality of classroom conversations about early childhood developments for children ages 3\u20135.
