Shirley J. Caruso earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees at Northeastern Illinois University. As an undergraduate, Shirley earned her Bachelor of Arts in the University Without Walls non-traditional degree program. The program incorporated many Human Resource Development (HRD) courses and helped Shirley reinforce her practical experiences in the field of HRD with theories and skills needed in today’s competitive workplace. Shirley continued her studies at Northeastern and earned a Master of Arts in HRD.
Upon graduating, she put her new talent into action by teaching as an adjunct professor in Northeastern’s HRD program, and opening WISE Training and Development Consultants (www.wisetraining.weebly.com), a Chicago-based Human Resource Development consultancy company that specializes in the design and development of customized training programs. Shirley also launched a website and is chief editor of www.EAdultEducation.org, a site that provides information on adult learning theories and research in relation to practice in the field of HRD. Shirley has written over 200 articles on the implications of adult learning theories.
Shirley’s professional background includes over 15 years of experience in the practice of HRD. She currently puts the HRD theories she writes about into practice by developing talented employees to help clients achieve real competitive advantages, designing and delivering highly effective training and development programs that enable participants to enhance their individual performance, supporting the learning goals of students by focusing on student learning outcomes, considering the needs and abilities of the students, becoming familiar with academic and social support, making reasonable provisions to accommodate individual differences, maintaining the academic integrity of Northeastern, and working in collaboration with faculty of all ranks and disciplines to promote educational innovation and the improvement of student learning.
Shirley also holds a variety of training and development affiliations and awards. She is a member of the Chicagoland Chapter of the American Society for Training and Development (CCASTD) and Northeastern's HRD Student Association (https://www.facebook.com/groups/113122995372320/). She chaired the local site committee for the Midwest Research-to-Practice 2009 Conference in Adult, Continuing, Extension and Community Education and authored a paper entitled "Integrating Informal Workplace Learning Into The Workflow Through The Development Of Performance Support Tools" (http://wisetraining.weebly.com/uploads/1/1/8/5/11852861/integrating.pdf) published in the Midwest Research-to-Practice 2009 Conference Proceedings. In 2010, she received an Award of Merit in Recognition of Outstanding Research from Northeastern’s 18th Annual Research and Creative Activities Symposium. In 2009, she was a Deb Colky Workplace Learning and Performance Award finalist and received Outstanding Service to the Community, Outstanding Piece of Academic Work, and Overall Integration of Conceptual and Experiential Competencies Awards from NEIU. Shirley has also been recognized by Northeastern for her valuable contributions to the Graduate College Seminar Series.
In January 2014, Shirley was awarded a Ed.D scholarship from The Boyer Graduate School of Education at William Howard Taft University. She anticipates completion of her doctoral degree in May 2016.

Dr. Colak is a native of Turkey where he received a B.S. in physics and gained experience as an elementary school teacher in grades 3-8. In 2002, Colak earned an M.Ed. in science education from the University of Missouri-Columbia, and in 2008 he earned a Ph.D. in science education from Indiana University Bloomington. At Northeastern, he will be teaching both elementary and secondary science education courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. His philosophy of education is based on his belief that students learn science by investigation and by constructing their own knowledge base in conjunction with their daily life experiences. He hopes that he can instill in his students a strong feeling for teaching and learning about science, and that he can help them understand the nature of science so they can embed those concepts in their science teaching. In addition to his teaching, Dr. Colak plans to pursue research in which he will investigate both students’ and teachers’ nature of science views and personal epistemologies.

Dr. Pulido’s research is interdisciplinary and works to expand the scholarly literature in the fields of education, youth culture, and Latina/o Studies by examining how youth navigate schooling through their particular social and cultural lenses. Her research provides an alternative perspective to much of the recent literature on urban schooling framed by a discourse surrounding testing, standardization of curriculum, and accountability, and instead focuses on developing an understanding of how youths’ multi-layered identities converge and diverge with the processes of schooling in ways that affect academic achievement.

Conducted in biweekly sessions designed to carry out conflict resolution, anger management, individual counseling and mentoring, social and cultural enrichment, decision-making skills, social competence, resistance skills and normative beliefs.

As a member of the Hirsch Metropolitan High School Probation Team, I conducted a program for the most “at-risk” boys identified by the school Principal, Counselors and school Disciplinarian. These young men were identified to participate in this mentorship program due to problems with truancy, poor grades, gang-related activity and anti-social behavior. I started with a group of (15) boys in September 1996. By the time the school year ended, the group had mushroomed to (40) forty boys. By 1998, the group consisted of over 100 boys.

GRANTS
Principal Writer (January 2007) Black United Fund of Illinois’ (BUFI) Safety Net Works Grant.
Safety Net Works is an initiative comprised of State of Illinois agencies and community-based organizations formed to help alleviate violence and killing in communities in Illinois. BUFI is headquartered in the South Shore community of Chicago, one of the 17 Safety Net Work target communities. As the Principal Writer of the grant I developed the Coalition of Organizational, Neighborhood and Network Empowerment through Culture, Talent and Spirituality (CONNECTS @ South Shore), a youth violence prevention initiative designed to reduce violence among youth ages 12 to 24 in South Shore. The purpose of CONNECTS is to foster community partnerships through strong relations among the youths, families, schools, faith-based organizations, businesses, parks, elected officials and community-based institutions and the Chicago Police Department in South Shore. BUFI was awarded $320,000 grant to implement CONNECTS @ South Shore.
Principal Writer and Program Evaluator (March 2006) The Literacy, Employment and Self-Sufficiency Project (LES) LES seeks to provide literacy, employment and self-sufficiency programs to one hundred (100) “hard to reach” Chicago public housing residents who are significantly in need of workplace literacy and self awareness development. Funding- 150,000.
Co-Writer (March 2006) Grow Your Own Teachers Program. The Grow Our Own Teacher program (GYO) establishes an initiative to encourage and support paraprofessionals, parents, and other active community members in becoming certified as teachers. GYO seeks to stimulate the development of consortia made up of an institution that prepare teachers (NEIU), a targeted school district (CPS), and a community organization (ACORN Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). Working together, these entities are to identify paraeducators and parents who have been leaders in schools with hard-to-staff positions and provide these individuals with the financial and other support they will need to complete teacher preparation programs. The new teachers are then to be placed in positions in the targeted schools. Funding-$40,000 Planning Grant.
