Adelphi Faculty Member Dr. Charline J. Barnes Selected as 2005 Carnegie Scholar
Garden City, NY
March 28, 2005
Adelphi University School of Education faculty member Dr. Charline J. Barnes has been selected among 300 applicants as one of the 2005 Carnegie Scholars from The Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL) in Stanford, California. She will join 19 outstanding faculty members from other higher education institutions to invent and share new models for teaching, learning, and research.
Dr. Barnes is an associate professor of literacy education in the School of Education. She has published articles about literacy and multicultural issues in Schools in the Middle, Balanced Reading Instruction, and The Journal of At-Risk Issues, and served as a consultant for Continental Press' Performance Reading Series-Grades 4-8. In addition, she serves on the board of directors for the International Reading Association and is a frequent presenter at the Association's local, state, regional, and international conferences. She received her Ed.D. in curriculum and instruction from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), her M.A. in reading education from George Washington University, and her B.A. in English education and psychology from Syracuse University.
"We are extremely proud of Dr. Charline Barnes' accomplishments in the Adelphi School of Education," said Adelphi School of Education Dean Ronald S. Feingold. "We are confident that she will provide great insight and leadership in the advancement of teaching and learning."
CASTL was created by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in 1998 to establish and refine standards for the critical review of teaching and learning by faculty members in college and university classrooms. CASTL also attempts to establish new settings and forms for the examination of teaching and learning so that faculty members can exchange information and build upon the work of their colleagues.
Carnegie Scholars investigate and document work on issues in the teaching and learning of their academic field, and liberal education in general, for one year. While the scholars work primarily in their own institutional settings, they also spend two summer sessions together at the Carnegie Foundation. During the academic year, scholars have the opportunity to present their work at professional conferences, attend workshops and institutes, and collaborate with Carnegie Scholars from previous cohorts.
