School of Education students and faculty presented at the IACTE Innovation in Teacher Education Conference held on Butler University’s campus, November 7-8. The conference highlighted innovations, initiatives, and best practices in teacher education. Davies Bellamy, Sharon Gieselmann, Melinda Hopf, Louis Kersh, DaLisa McCallum, and UE graduate, Rocky Alderman shared experiences responsible for increasing their growth in cultural competence. Hammer (2012) defines cultural competence as the capability to shift perspective and adapt behavior to cultural difference and commonality. Furthermore, it reflects the degree to which cultural differences and commonalities in values, expectations, beliefs and practices are effectively bridged. The Intercultural Development Inventory is a tool used in the School of Education to assess baseline cultural competence. During the presentation, the group emphasized three essentials: the importance of achieving intercultural competence, the need for understanding the transformative process involved, and taking intentional steps towards becoming interculturally competent. The presentation is an extension of an upcoming publication written by Amy McBride, Davies Bellamy, and Matthew Knoester.

On Thursday 12 November Harlaxton we will be co-hosting an event with Lincoln University. Carenza Lewis, who you might remember as one of the archeologists from the TV show TimeTeam, is coming to give a lecture as part of the 2019 'Being Human' festival. This is the UK’s only national festival of the humanities, and it brings together universities, museums, galleries, libraries with community and commercial partners in events held throughout November. Carenza's talk will be about the origins and impact of the Black Death.

Carenza explains ‘Being Human’ is all about making world-class university research accessible to people across the UK and this year the University of Lincoln is a hub for the festival in the East Midlands. I’m delighted it’s giving me the chance to come to Harlaxton to talk about the Black Death – one of History’s greatest killers – to find out about the impact it had on our region, and how and where it survives today… I’m looking forward to hearing what questions the audience will be asking!’

Less than 48 hours after defeating #1 Kentucky, the University of Evansville men’s basketball team is back on the floor, welcoming IU Kokomo to the Ford Center on Thursday evening at 6 p.m.  ESPN3 will have the broadcast.

Setting the Scene                                                                                                             
- The Purple Aces look to improve to 3-0 as they take on the IU Kokomo Cougars for the first time
- Evansville is coming off of the biggest win in the program’s Division I history, defeating top-ranked Kentucky on Tuesday evening at Rupp Arena
- Despite being a 25-point underdog, the Aces led the Wildcats for 29:34 of the 40 minutes while trailing for just under six minutes
- K.J. Riley led everyone with 18 points as he was 2-2 from outside and 8-8 from the free throw line
- For the second game in a row, Sam Cunliffe recorded 17 points; he drained six  buckets but his most important points came in the final seconds as his two free throws put the finishing touches on the 67-64 win

Last Time Out                                                                                                            
- One of the biggest days in program history saw the Purple Aces take down #1 Kentucky by a 67-64 final on Tuesday night
- Evansville held the lead for nearly 75% of the game; the Aces held a 34-30 lead at the half and went up by as many as eight points in the game; UK never led by more than three
- Senior K.J. Riley led by example, pouring in a game-high 18 points; he was 2-2 from outside and 8-8 from the line
- Sam Cunliffe posted another 17-point outing and hit the two biggest free throws of the game with six seconds left

Leftovers from Kentucky                                                                                                             
- In his first trip to the arena he called home as a player, Aces head coach Walter McCarty led his UE squad to the 3-point win over the Wildcats
- In the second half of the contest, the Aces were a perfect 6-for-6 from the charity stripe; for the game, UE was 12/13 from the line
- Evansville’s defense held the Wildcats to just 37% shooting; last season - just one team fared better - that came on March 2, 2019 when #7 Tennessee held Kentucky to 31.8%
- K.J. Riley and Sam Cunliffe have both posted double figures in both contests; they are a combined 17-for-19 from the line on the season
- UE attacked the offensive glass, hauling in 11 offensive rebounds while holding UK to just eight; this season - 24.6% of the Aces rebounds have come on the offensive side, last year that number stood at 20%

Scouting the Opponent                                                                                                            
- IU Kokomo stands at 6-1 overall, but have only played five true games; the additional two wins come from games scheduled later in the season against Cincinnati Christian that were forfeited
- Trequan Spivey is the leading scorer for the Cougars, averaging 18.8 points per game; he is a solid shooter, checking in at 53.3% while playing over 36 minutes per game
- Allante Harper averages 12.4 points and has hit a team-high 13 triples
- Desean Hampton paces IU Kokomo with 9.6 rebounds per contest

The Men's Basketball team play host to IU Kokomo tonight at 6pm at the Ford Center. CARSON CENTER TICKET OFFICE CLOSES AT NOON! If you are unable to claim your tickets to see the undefeated Aces, they will still be available at the Ford Center Box Office. For more information please text 812-488-2237
