Woolis Portfolio of Work

Lieutenant Commander Data is a fictional Star Trek character who is a sentient android and serves as the second officer and chief operations officer aboard starships. His positronic brain allows him impressive computational capabilities. The Global Skills for College Completion project evolved from 2007 to develop a breakthrough scalable pedagogy and curriculum for basic skills community college courses. Over time, faculty teaching practices were coded by theme, analyzed for patterns, and developed into a "Pedagogy Patterns" framework to reproduce high success rates in different contexts.

Director Diana D. Woolis explains the mission of the Center for Learning in Practice at Carey Institute for Global Good

Itaf AlAwawdeh, Program Director - Chief of Party, Save the Children-Jordan; Diana Woolis, Director, Center for Professional Learning, CE International Holistic support in education – attending to the wellbeing of students, educators, parents and communities – is essential to academic achievement. In this session, we will hear from Save the Children and the Childhood Education (CE) International and their work in building generative learning ecosystems with educators and teachers through a focus on socioemotional learning, systems thinking and inclusionary pedagogies.

A healthy learning ecosystem requires knowledge to be actively shared and implemented. Sustainable learning weaves together practices that allow not only for sharing, but for responding and implementing in our rapidly changing environment. Diana Woolis explains the elements of the framework as well as its applications.

Unemployment and substance abuse may be intertwined long before an individual seeks treatment. Although the average educational level of individuals with substance abuse disorders is comparable to that of the general U.S. population, people who use substances are far more likely to be unemployed or underemployed than people who do not use substances. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, employment rates for the non- substance-using population ranged from 72.3 percent in 1980 to 76.8 percent in 1991. However, employment rates of the population with substance abuse problems before admission or at admission to treatment have remained at relatively stable, low levels since 1970, ranging from 15 to 30 percent. Most of the research on the employment rates of persons with substance abuse disorders has focused on opiate-dependent persons (usually heroin), and employment rates for other substance users may vary. The data clearly indicate the need for interventions to improve employment rates...

Nationwide, pass rates of developmental education students barely reach 60 percent, cutting short the promise of higher education for too many students. The authors believe that a national pass rate of 80 percent or better is possible; indeed, it is a national imperative. In this article, the authors describe an ongoing project that aims to understand and radically improve the teaching of developmental education, particularly on community college campuses. It asks, what happens in the classrooms of some faculty whose students succeed at a rate consistently higher than the students taught by their colleagues at the same school? The project, Global Skills for College Completion (GSCC), is funded through a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation grant awarded to the League for Innovation, in partnership with LaGuardia Community College and Knowledge in the Public Interest. It taps the wisdom of frontline faculty and the power of social media to create something new: a field-tested pedagogy of
