  5. "They Were like Mini Versions of Us" | The 2024 UCF VLP Podcast Series

  Dec 2, 20241h 12mS0

  <p>In the final episode, Angie Hubbart and Alexis Wood—both returning K12 educators—reflected more broadly on their two-year experience with UCF VLP. This entailed deeply assessing how the deliverables they developed during the 2023 Institute unfolded throughout the 2023-2024 school year and how that first-year experience shaped their overall approach for year two of UCF VLP. That the signature motif of this year’s podcast series—replaying audio from last year’s conversations—was used more times than in any previous discussion proves indicative of how this episode remains intended to close the series by offering a larger mosaic of the UCF V...

  4. "Hey Buddy, I'm Back!" | The 2024 UCF VLP Podcast Series

  Nov 25, 20241h 1mS0

  <p>In Episode Four, Alecia Bryant (returning K12 educator) and Amanda Burchins (new K12 educator) primarily discussed their three deliverables (Veteran biography, mini-tour, and lesson plan) and how four days at the 2024 Institute had facilitated their further development. Alecia Bryant’s continuity with UCF VLP since 2023 allows us to examine the program from a broader perspective—such as the differences between the 2023 and 2024 editions of UCF VLP, how the three deliverables ultimately materialized in the classroom during the 2023-2024 school year and how that experience in the classroom with students shaped the approach for the 2024-2025 deliverables. Conversely, Amanda Burchins’s expe...

  3. "Still Paying That Sacrifice" | The 2024 UCF VLP Podcast Series

  Nov 18, 202437 minS0

  <p>In Episode Three, Sergeant Major (Sgt Maj) Ray Fullard recounts his experience taking his JROTC cadets to Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida. Throughout the school year, Sgt. Maj tasked his JROTC cadets to research and write a biography of a Veteran interred at Bushnell who served during the Gulf War (1990-91), Operation Enduring Freedom (2001-2014), and Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-2011). Sgt Major is a Marine Corps Veteran from those same conflicts, meaning he served—directly or indirectly—with many of the Veterans the cadets researched and visited during their trip to Bushnell. Such personal insights—and Sgt. Maj’s experi...

  2. "A Human Being to Be Remembered" | The 2024 UCF VLP Podcast Series

  Nov 11, 202452 minS0

  <p>In Episode Two, Andrew Carroll’s herculean efforts to seek and collect over 210,000 war letters—that span since the American Revolution—demonstrate how others are as seriously committed to preserving the legacies of the men and women who served and fought for their country. Andrew shares several letters from his impressive collection, allowing us to be as close as possible to the Veterans—engaging with their own words, thoughts, and emotions. The roughly 210,000 war letters Andrew has preserved for over twenty-five years often exemplify themes central to UCF VLP.</p> <p>Andrew Carroll is an award-winning historian and author who foun...

  <p>The 2024 UCF VLP Podcast Series explores the UCF Veterans Legacy Program (VLP) and its mission to honor and memorialize Veterans buried in Florida’s national cemeteries in innovative and engaging ways, primarily through the experiences of the participating K12 educators. For the past two years, UCF VLP has been specifically designed to instruct K12 educators how to teach Veterans' history to K12 students by learning how to create grade-level appropriate classroom projects that focus on Veterans’ service within itself and within the context of local (Florida), national (American), and international (global) histories. The K12 educators who applied and were acce...
