Touro's occupational therapy (OT) students from the School of Health Sciences participated in Advocacy Day, an annual event where students and practitioners reach out and work directly with key legislators on topics that affect the occupational therapy field in New York. “This year's Advocacy Day, in partnership with the New York State Occupational Therapy Association, was an experience that I will never forget. It was such an honor and privilege to speak with legislators about issues and concerns of the occupational therapy community. This day also helped to create a deep bond between my classmates in the OT program from both the Manhattan and Long Island campuses, our professors, and other OTs working in the state as we united to advocate for a profession we’re all very passionate about." -Deanna Aquino, a School of Health Sciences OT student
The Graduate School of Education (GSE) and NYSCAS, Touro’s undergrad division, recently teamed up to host a digital storytelling workshop! The interactive event brought together education graduate students and biology undergraduate students for a hands-on exercise where they learned to design a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education unit for a 5th or 6th grade middle school science class. GSE Professor Suzanne Poole Patzelt says, “Our workshop was developed based on the idea that using digital storytelling alongside puppets and dolls in teaching and learning science/STEM can be transformative. We had Touro students participate in a range of activities to challenge their current understanding of what science is, how science can be taught, and who can be considered a ‘science person.’ A core component of this digital storytelling work is the storyteller. This individual can be human or non-human and can represent anyone from a family member to a historical figure in science. Researchers suggest that puppets/dolls can be utilized to cross ethical scientific boundaries and prompt discussions that lead to the development of scientific communication skills. So, we created this workshop in response to that research.” In the first session of the workshop series, students began the process of storyboarding to identify their story, how their complex science content will be organized within their story, how this content aligns with current science teaching standards, as well as who their storyteller (puppet/doll) would be. Two additional virtual sessions are planned in March and April, with a final in-person workshop slated for May, where participants will finalize their digital stories. Other workshop presenters included GSE Professor Timothy Bellavia (pictured) and NYSCAS Biology Chair and Professor Brian Chiswell.
