First Walden University PDK Scholarships Awarded
Minneapolis (PRWEB) October 26, 2007 -- Walden University's cyberspace chapter of Phi Delta Kappa (PDK), a society for professional educators, awarded its first two Simon-Poppenhagen Scholarships to Walden Ph.D. in Education students Candace Stine and Sandy Wenzel.
The scholarships, one for $500 and the other for $1,000, honor a former Walden education dean, Dr. Brent Poppenhagen, and a current education faculty member, Dr. Marilyn K. Simon, who are both founding members of the chapter.
Candace Stine lives in Broken Arrow, Okla. The third-grade teacher works in a Title I instruction program and tutors upper-elementary-aged children struggling in reading and math. Sandy Wenzel lives in Madison, Wis., where she is an upper-elementary-level special education teacher.
"We have two extremely worthy recipients of our first Simon-Poppenhagen scholarships," says Simon. "Both Sandy and Candy epitomize Walden's mission of social change."
Stine is seeking her Ph.D. with the hope of becoming a full-time college instructor. "My dissertation will investigate teacher efficacy relative to quality professional development," Stine says. She wants to use her dissertation as preliminary research for a more formal study of teacher-education
programs.
Wenzel is earning her Ph.D. with the goals of one day working in educational leadership in secondary or higher education and teaching at the college level. Her dissertation will address the overrepresentation of African-American boys in special education. "This is a significant and chronic problem, and my study may contribute to the scholarly literature on the topic," she says.
