Story Time Education
Aug 09, 2017
The program chair for the week, Greg Bartz, introduced Aaron Hauger of the Story Time Education program. Aaron explained that Story Time is a not for profit program current working in the African country of Malawi to improve access to education to young people. The mission of Story Time is to empower students in southwest Africa by removing barriers to education and inspiring community partnerships while creating a world where everyone’s story receives validation. He reported that Malawi is a rather undeveloped country with a population of about 17 million of which 84 percent live in rural areas. Almost 1 million of the residents are living with HIV/AIDS and nearly half of those infected are unaware of their condition. 56 percent of the population live on less than $1 per day and the mean population is 16.5 yoa. Very few of the youth are able to access basic education. |

Presentation on Multitiered Systems of Support (MTSS) which includes both Academic Supports and Behavioral Supports (Positive Behavioral Interventions and supports). Drs. Abery and Ticha’s connection with the Russian Federation all started with their being introduced to special education faculty from Krasnoyarsk through Greg's involvement in an Open World exchange. Conversations during the exchange led them to travel to Krasnoyarsk where they presented at a conference hosted by the Krasnoyarsk Ministry of Education and Teacher Training and learned more about their special education system. Based on that visit, they discovered that both of our countries are, in a similar manner, struggling to meet the educational needs of child with significant disabilities especially as they relate to assessing whether our efforts to provide instruction with respect to the acquisition of basic academic skills. This led to the subsequent crafting of a memorandum of agreement between the University of Minnesota (UMN) and Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University (KSPU) to engage in collaborative work focused on developing technology-aided, curriculum-based measures of academic progress for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They also attended and presented at an educational conference at the end of October 2015 in Krasnoyarsk
