Powell DESCRIPTION:Many students experience difficulty with math and benefit from targeted math intervention. In the latest talk in the Project TIDES seminar series\, Sarah R. Powell from the University of Texas will focus on math trajectories for students and five research-validated practices that are essential for the design and delivery of math intervention. \nProject TIDES (Teaching and Inclusion for Disability Equity in STEM) is an innovative postdoctoral training program funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation providing early-career scholars with mentoring and professional development that centers the full inclusion of all persons in science\, technology\, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning and work. The talk will take place via Zoom. \nSarah R. Powell is a professor in the College of Education at The University of Texas at Austin and associate director of the Meadows Center for Preventing Educational Risk. Her research\, teaching and service focus on mathematics\, particularly for students who experience mathematics differently. \nPowell is currently principal investigator (PI) of an Institute of Education Sciences (IES) efficacy grant (RAAMPS) related to word-problem solving at Grade 4. Powell is also PI of SPIRAL\, an IES grant which works collaboratively with Grade 4 and 5 teachers who provide mathematics instruction to students with mathematics difficulty. Powell is Co-PI of STAIR 2.0 (funded by IES) in which the team works with middle school special education math teachers and SCALE and SCALE-UP (funded by the U.S. Department of Education) in which the team is replicating a fraction intervention in Grades 4-8. Powell collaborates on Math Words\, an IES development grant about mathematics vocabulary. To help create the next generation of researchers focused on mathematics\, Powell is PI of a doctoral leadership grant (LIME) funded by the Office of Special Education Programs. Powell was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) in 2019. \nPowell understands all of these efforts are a team effort\, and she thanks her project leads\, graduate students\, research assistants and research collaborators as well as the teachers and students who participate in these projects.

Teaching Focus Hours offers a dedicated\, distraction-free space to turn intention into finished work—right alongside your colleagues. \nThis is a high-focus\, low-distraction work session modeled after writing accountability groups. We spend 10 minutes setting goals\, 60 minutes in silent focus\, and 5 minutes wrapping up. A strict\, predictable rhythm allows you to enter and leave as your schedule allows without disrupting your colleagues. \nCo-facilitated by Dr. Dawn Emerson\, Assistant Professor of Kinesiology and Physical Education. \nEvery Tuesdays from 1:30pm-2:45pm. Starts September 8th. Fernald Hall\, Room 102. \nLearn more and register for Teaching Focus Hours \nWe can provide Zoom links as needed for those weeks that meeting in person won’t work.

How do material remains shape our understanding of people\, places\, and past experiences\, even as they carry traces and transformations that exceed what is recalled or recorded? Join us as we consider the many ways memory is retained\, created\, transformed\, and contested through the material world. Panelists will utilize images drawn from their archaeological works\, museum objects\, landscape studies\, and other experiences as starting points for brief reflections on memory—whether personal\, social\, cultural\, political\, environmental\, or material. Together\, these contributions will explore how objects and images can carry\, evoke\, sustain\, or complicate relationships with the past. \nPanel Participants:\nDr. Christopher Witmore\, Department of Classical & Modern Languages & Literatures\, Texas Tech University \nDr. Natalia Magnani\, Department of Anthropology and Climate Change Institute\, University of Maine \nDr. Joshua Walton\, Department of History and Honors College\, University of Maine \nDr. Gregory Zaro\, McGillicuddy Humanities Center & Department of Anthropology and Climate Change Institute\, University of Maine \nThis event is part of the 2026-2027 McGillicuddy Humanities Center Symposium: MEMORY.
