Museums reflect the practices of the dominant culture within the particular society in which they are located. This article examines the effects of museums offering texts, cultural artifacts and experiences in English only, which function to exclude patrons, often visiting in family groups, from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. This article includes explanations of various theoretical frameworks that help to explain how the construction and dynamism of social boundaries impact museum participation and guide considerations about designing and implementing bilingual and multilingual practices. Examples of successful institutional implementation are included. Recent research findings indicate that positive results for museums and visitors are supported when multilingual practices are central to mission statements and institutional sustainability goals.

Frame-Based Editing (FBE) is a novel programming style which encompasses the good features of both Block and Text based editing. Moreover, FBE is designed as a middle step between Block and Text based editing, in order to ease the transition from the first to the latter. Strype is a new online editor which implements the FBE idea for Python and is used for programming the micro:bit. This demo will showcase the unique characteristics of Strype and demonstrate its use. Also, this demo will introduce Strype, and FBE generally, to the educational community in order to initiate fruitful discussions, get feedback and also promote its adoption to the educational community.

A two-day forum was held at the University of Tennessee (UT) Middle Tennessee Research and Education Center to foster collaborative efforts between Extension specialists and county or area agents across the southern United States. The forum was attended by 28 specialists and 18 county or regional agents from across the Southern Section of ASAS. The forum began with a tour of the UT Heifer Development Center. The forum was split into three sessions and included: 1. Transfer of knowledge (Demonstration research), 2. Developing formal education for Extension agents, and 3. Collaborating across state lines to develop Extension Programs. Within each section, a brief presentation was given, followed by break-out sessions to discuss success stories from each state and potential programs to implement. From the break-out session, areas of need identified primarily focused on the development of support resources for Extension agents. Needed outputs identified included a resource guide for conducting on-farm research and demonstration projects with county and regional Extension agents, defining a regional process to provide formal distance education for agents, and development of online coursework and training tools for agents for continuing education. Assessment data indicate that participants had completed an average of 8.4 (± 6.65, range 0.5 to 24) years of service. Agents were asked to rank their level of confidence, using a 5-point Likert scale, with three tasks. Averages (SEM) of that self-assessment are indicated in Table 1. The 2018 Southern Section Extension Forum was a successful effort to bring together collaborators to identify needs and propose programs to improve the impact of Extension.

Social innovation education (SIE) is a student-led collaborative process of creating and initiating unique solutions to social issues. Though established from evidence around service and civic education, limited research looks specifically at SIE and the impact of creating student-led tangible social change project in adolescence. Using the Arksey and O'Malley framework we scoped studies that evaluated programmes for adolescents that met the qualities of SIE. Eighteen studies were identified, evaluating 17 different programmes. Programme delivery methods were flexible across length, setting, age, facilitator, and techniques, with 13 programmes utilising stages to map the process. The most frequent programme outcomes researched were skill development, civic engagement and commitment, and social and civic responsibility. Further programme characteristics and outcomes are discussed.
