Easton-Brooks Named Dean of the School of Education at USD Donald R. Easton-Brooks of Eastern Oregon University has been named dean of the School of Education at the University of South Dakota, starting June 22. Easton-Brooks spent two years at Eastern Oregon in La Grande as a professor and dean of the Colleges of Business and Education. He is a 1988 graduate of Greenville College in Greenville, Illinois, with a bachelor’s degree in sociology. He received his master’s degree in early childhood special education at the University of Colorado at Denver in 1995 and earned his doctorate in education leadership and innovation from UC-Denver in 2006. Heritage Ride is Back Easton-Brooks’ research and scholarship includes urban education, ethnic-matching of students and teachers, minority education and teacher diversity. “We are thrilled to have this outstanding leader join the USD community,” said USD Provost Jim Moran. “Dr. Easton-Brooks comes to USD with a wealth of experiences especially with respect to connecting the academia with the local communities, in program delivery and curriculum models, in fundraising and in student recruitment and retention.” Since 1996 Easton-Brooks worked as an instructor and a lecturer in the fields of human development, health and human services and sociology at several colleges and universities. He served as assistant professor of education at the University of North Texas and as associate professor at Hamline University before becoming a full professor at Eastern Oregon in 2013. He has been a member of the American Educational Research Association, the National Association for Multicultural Education and the National Black Child Development Institute. ”I see this opportunity as one that allows us to work effectively with our partners, engage in meaningful and impactful research to provide our students with a quality academic experience and a chance to build strong relationships with alumni,” Easton-Brooks said. “I see us making strong impacts on the various fields in the school, and I am looking forward to assisting the school and the university in building a stronger national and international presence.” A recent survey conducted by the National Council on Teacher Quality rated elementary education at USD 44th of 788 programs in the country and the secondary education 23rd of 824 programs nationwide. contacts with a player, at their group’s meeting and they are allowed earlier this year. to provide private The proposal contains lessons to players where one other important piece: specific techniques and Coaches couldn’t have fundamentals are taught. any contact with players The private lessons can during the week of July be given in small groups 1 through July 7 each that are limited in size, summer. depending on the sport.

Tell them association favored the you saw it in the high We now have change when the athletic school-affiliated teams directors discussed it playing a spring schedule for a state championship. We also have the traditional American Legion teams playing a summer schedule for a state championship. Some communities have baseball teams that play both. But there are situations where American Legion players are prohibited or discouraged by their team’s rules or coaches from playing on the local high school team. And there are players who compete on the high school baseball team in the spring but don’t play on the local American Legion team in the summer. That allows them to train in June and July for their other high school sports. Setting summer high school seasons covering June and July for baseball and for boys and girls golf, whose state tournaments at times run into difficult weather whether spring or fall, might be a practical next step.
