face persistently high levels of student disengagement and chronic absenteeism Rebecca Winthrop and Jenny Anderson offer parents a new way of assessing their children’s engagement in school and highlight the importance of children having agency in their own learning As senior fellow and director of the Center for Universal Education you lead both the center and (along with fellow Emily Morris) the Family you are a seasoned researcher and leader and a mom to two middle schoolers Can you share a bit about what drew you to this work Rebecca Winthrop: My focus on the role of families and communities grew out of my work on education innovations I had been working with policymakers and practitioners to encourage the take-up of education innovations that help all young people develop the skills they need to thrive in today’s fast-changing world I found in this journey that we in the education sector often overlook the important role of families as partners in transforming education this issue hit me in a much more personal way When my two boys’ schools switched to home-based learning I realized I had misjudged which of my children were deeply engaged in their learning who had always gotten top grades and liked school lost all motivation when his school went online and moved to “pass/fail” grading who had struggled in school because of his dyslexia blossomed and was deeply engaged in learning on his own I realized that if I wasn’t able to tell which of my kids was deeply engaged in school as a global education expert it would be very difficult for most parents and caregivers too I know grades only tell part of the story of how well our children are doing in school parents and caregivers frequently resist and challenge education reforms We in the education community don’t do enough to help parents and caregivers understand what good learning looks like I was interested in helping fill this gap and I knew to do that storytelling would have to be an important part of the process you were a finance journalist for years and then shifted to education Jenny Anderson: My interests shifted after I had my first child in 2008 After spending more than 10 years immersed in financial reporting I suddenly became curious about how learning happens—what is developmental I was immediately struck by how little the mainstream media covered these topics There were good “mommy bloggers” gaining traction and a few trailblazing parenting journalists (Anna Quindlen and Lisa Belkin come to mind) But how kids learn and develop was not considered a beat worthy of an editorial desk staffed with seasoned reporters and editors Is how humans grow and learn and thrive really less important or sophisticated than the stock market A generous explanation might be that learning and development are so core to what it is to be human that we don’t think too much about how we A more realistic one is that care and nurturing of kids has long been deemed women’s work so not serious enough to warrant the resources to cover it well I became more interested in finding new and creative ways to understand how humans learn and change It’s hardly new: We had to adapt from farming to factories and factories to offices to a second machine age and then a fourth industrial revolution I was consumed with the question: If humans are born and wired to learn “The Disengaged Teen: How to Help Kids Learn better what kids need now is to become better at learning and everyone agrees that the pace of change will continue to be dizzying No one knows exactly what shifts in jobs and society are in store What can best protect and prepare our children is to help them become excellent at learning and adapting This is incredibly hard to do if you are coasting through school only 1 in 3 students are engaged in school CUE’s research with the nonprofit Transcend found that less than 10% of students had school experiences that regularly let them explore their ideas and interests and practice building their independent learning skills Resilient learners are not strong; they are flexible Learning well is also closely tied to feeling well When children are deeply engaged in their learning they not only perform better but have better mental health outcomes how does the book help parents and educators address the major challenges adolescents face today JA: Teens are deeply disengaged in learning and are reporting alarmingly high mental health challenges but kids have been disengaged from learning far longer than smartphones have been hijacking our kids’ attention Adolescence is a period of staggering change a period when brains are fundamentally reconstructed It is a window of unique opportunity and vulnerability when the stories young people tell themselves can become embedded in useful How kids think about themselves as learners shapes the stories they tell and as parents and educators we have influence to narrate and model one about growth parents can nudge their teens toward experiences and opportunities to help them understand who they are and who they hope to be Grades and achieving are part of this; nurturing a robust learner identity—that is developing what we call “Explorer muscles”—is both essential and overlooked Becoming better learners will help kids accelerate toward goals they care about unstoppable where they so often now seem stuck If COVID-19 showed us that kids need to be well to learn well our research— and that of others—shows that kids also need to learn well to be well The key to this is staying emotionally connected to teens but then having better language to understand and talk about their learning you develop the Four Modes of Engagement framework which is intended to help parents and educators identify how students engage in school Can you talk a bit about the framework and how it provides a new perspective on students’ learning and engagement RW: How deeply children engage in their learning shapes not only how they do in school but also the learning skills that they develop The problem is that it can be quite hard for adults to accurately assess how deeply engaged their children are Adults are good at understanding the behavioral dimensions of engagement in school They aren’t as good at assessing the emotional and cognitive dimensions of engagement like being interested in what they are doing and thinking deeply about what they are learning we found that a student’s grades do not always reflect how engaged they are in their learning Many students are disengaged but able to get good grades usually because the material is not sufficiently challenging It is hard to address a problem you cannot fully see This is why we developed the four modes of engagement to help parents and caregivers but also educators better assess and address their children’s level of engagement Our research showed that young people engage in four main ways with school and learning: Students can move between all these modes in the course of a day kids are in one mode in school but in another one after school how can parents and educators use this framework to help improve student engagement JA: They can use this framework in three ways the modes can be used to identify where kids are which enables adults to offer better support Kids in Passenger mode often need more autonomy whereas kids in Resister mode might need us in the trenches with them problem solving Kids in Achiever mode may look like they are hitting it out of the park but they need more opportunities to take risks on behalf of their learning The modes help us understand their learning and in time can be used by young people themselves to understand the choices they make on behalf of their learning the framework can help adults support kids who get stuck in Resister Our goal is to help young people build self-awareness and regulation strategies The modes are one way to understand what’s happening and to better identify when things are going off the rails Disengagement does not happen overnight—it is gradual We want to intervene earlier in the engagement continuum We hope parents and educators help kids spend as much time in Explorer mode as possible The research with Transcend showed that only 33% of 10th graders report that they get to develop their own ideas in school one of the center’s workstreams is focused on youth agency Can you define that and explain how it relates to the book RW: Agency is the ability to set meaningful goals and marshal resources to meet them it’s being able to design and execute that plan even if it means overcoming barriers along the way It requires tapping into internal resources but also asking for help from external ones like teachers particularly to navigate the world that is to come With generative AI able to synthesize knowledge to answer questions students need to develop skills to ask the questions that matter to them they are “agentically engaged” in their learning This means they are constructively influencing the flow of instruction to be more supportive and interesting to them asking to work on topics that interest them and taking opportunities to reflect on what they’re interested in too few students get the chance to regularly be in Explorer mode school is one of the important places where young people can learn to develop agency over their learning and it’s also how we hope our book can help and educators today support their children to have more Explorer moments at home and in class We also want to invite families into the movement to change the design of the schools of tomorrow and make Explorer mode the default Thanks for visiting Nestled on the Swan River and conveniently located minutes from Perth's central business district The

and supporting a strong local workforce which was developed in response to the limited capacity of traditional internships Eight Winthrop student teams tackled real-world marketing challenges for York County Natural Gas through EPIC creating innovative campaigns to promote natural gas’s environmental benefits ROCK HILL — Eight interdisciplinary student teams from Winthrop University recently competed in the Employer Provided Innovation Challenge (EPIC) a collaborative initiative designed to empower students to solve real-world business challenges This semester’s challenge, sponsored by York County Natural Gas Authority (YCNGA) in partnership with the York County Regional Chamber (YCRC) and Winthrop University tasked students with answering a complex question: How can a natural gas company effectively promote its environmental benefits to their customers while addressing common misconceptions about natural gas marketing strategy and communication tactics students in Professor Erin Patel’s Marketing 380 course rose to the occasion Their innovative campaigns featured everything from data-driven survey analysis and brand redesigns to engaging slogans “This partnership reflects the kind of collaboration that drives meaningful change in our community,” said Celeste Tiller Vice President of Talent and Workforce Development at YCRC we are equipping students with the tools they need to succeed while strengthening the future workforce of York County.” The YCNGA team was equally inspired by the students’ creativity and commitment “We were blown away by the professionalism and fresh thinking the students brought to the table,” said Hannah Smith “Their ability to take a complex topic like natural gas and turn it into compelling informative campaigns with ideas that we could readily implement into our existing strategies was incredibly impressive Programs like EPIC are not just beneficial for students—they provide real value to businesses like ours.” A panel of natural gas and marketing experts from YCNGA reviewed each team’s presentation Awards were granted to the top three teams who earned cash prizes for their innovative work: • 3rd Place ($500): Zach Cunard and Lily Beirne who mentored the student teams alongside Tiller Becky Ross (Director for Winthrop’s Center for Career Development & Internships) and Smith and Barry Duncan (Director of Business Development) from YCNGA “It was a tremendous opportunity to enable my students to practice marketing principles in depth and bring them to life—even though they just learned these concepts this semester,” said Patel credentialed experiences that strengthen career readiness and deepen employer engagement Employers interested in engaging with EPIC or exploring workforce development solutions are encouraged to contact the York County Regional Chamber to learn how they can get involved Thanks for visiting Thanks for visiting 2025 | Molecular Cell publishes UAMS comprehensive structural biology study of MCL-1:BAK complex found in most cancers our research tackles a central mechanism of cell death known as apoptosis,” said Moldoveanu an associate professor in the UAMS College of Medicine Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and co-leader of the Cancer Institute’s Cancer Therapeutics Research Program “Apoptosis is a fundamental biological process that supports our health,” he said “Our bodies need to get rid of cells that are too old or damaged to work properly they can harm us and lead to cancer and other conditions.” Moldoveanu’s study focuses on the protein complex MCL-1:BAK which blocks apoptosis when formed and is a common target for drug makers “There are four other known proteins similar to MCL-1 that inhibit apoptotic cell death that we know of and MCL-1 is one of the worst that shows up in a lot of cancers,” Moldoveanu said “It’s one of the most upregulated proteins in cancer that makes it harder for cell death to happen and is a proven recipe for growing tumors in cancer.” MCL-1 is responsible for more than 40% of new cases and more than 70% of relapsed BAK is a pro-death protein that initiates apoptosis when activated by cancer therapies and often interacts with MCL-1 blocking its pro-apoptotic role drug makers now have an atomic level view of the MCL-1:BAK protein complex Moldoveanu’s team used an integrated structural biology approach with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and X-ray crystallography to provide the most detailed characterization of the molecular structure of the complex to date After testing select highly potent drugs designed to inhibit MCL-1 in a reconstituted MCL-1:BAK complex in the lab “One of the most surprising findings is that MCL-1 inhibitors are not very good in neutralizing the MCL-1:BAK complex requiring high doses to initiate cell death Our study underscores the need to design superior MCL-1 inhibitors.” Moldoveanu is the lead author of the study between his lab in the UAMS Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and collaborators at St the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne “Among the cancer therapies available to us we have very few inhibitors to regulate cell death in patients with cancer,” Moldoveanu said “The problem is that current inhibitors targeting MCL-1 also impact organs and tissues such the heart and cells that line the blood vessels,” he added “These cells are highly susceptible to toxicity from cancer chemotherapy in general so the issue is how to administer MCL-1 inhibitors to initiate cell death safely and in a more targeted way that doesn’t go everywhere in the body “Now that we have a better view of how this complex looks and forms and that these drugs are not as effective as we imagined we can move forward with designing future therapies to have better potency and bioavailability in neutralizing this pathway,” said Moldoveanu © 2025 University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences | Little Rock Thanks for visiting Thanks for visiting Game Recap: Baseball | 4/26/2025 6:31:00 PM Thanks for visiting Game

occasional horse meandering by set the scene for a group of artists who spent their Saturday at Winthrop Field in Aiken The Aiken Land Conservancy hosted an interactive open-air art event and creatives of all kinds to work freely in nature surrounded by scenic views and the occasional passing horse a member of the Aiken Land Conservancy board of trustees said the event was the first of its kind at Winthrop Field – a property the conservancy has long worked to protect “We do this to just expose our properties and try to reach out to the community a little bit more,” she said Artist Sue Bursey painted a tree that caught her eye and said the location made the process all the more enjoyable “It’s very really nice to just be able to be outside and do this,” she said said the event

special about Aiken and we are in this incredible setting with horses everywhere.” she said open-air art is one of her favorite ways to work “There is nothing better than being outside,” Hawkins said and you see everything you do better than you do in your studio.” who holds a degree in biomedical illustration was focused on drawing a horse and said she’s always loved the anatomy of the animal “The whole thing I love about it is the culmination of science and art She added that the event offered a meaningful way for artists to connect and inspire one another “We are all kind of communicating with each other and are inspiring each other We are here with all like minds,” she said “I think passion reverberates like an echo chamber.” Thanks for visiting Game Recap: Softball |
