Old Business
PEPSC met on November 10 and drafted a blueprint of action items related to the Pathways proposal and voted to send this to NC SBE. (Professional Pathways Blueprint). A meeting recording is available at https://youtu.be/F7cG5AF4sJM. Jeff Pizzutilla noted that this blueprint is more outlined, different and words more general than previous ones. Please discuss with departments.
The question was asked by one program area if junior courses with new dispositions would go into Taskstream for spring? It was noted that not all programs are ready for this. Dr. Weiss will pass this question on to Dr. Fales for clarification.
Standing Committees
Curriculum – Chair Christy Walcott- In the absence of the chair, Rita Soulen reported that the committee met November 1, 2022 to review one proposal from Human Development and Family Science.
The request was to remove a course note stating that there are practicum requirements for two HDFS courses, HDFS 4200 and HDFS 4201. They developed alternate experiences for both courses which produced stronger student performance for course objectives. The committee voted to approve this proposal pending some minor edits to clarify the changes made. Those edits have since been completed. Thus, the curriculum committee recommends that this proposal move forward for full CEP approval.
The report was accepted. As Chair of the UCC, Dr. Weiss abstained from voting.
Evaluation & Planning – Chair Cynthia Wagner– no report
Admissions & Retention – Chair Susannah Berry – no report
Policy– Chair Laura Levi Alstaedter – The committee did not meet. She is waiting on committee votes pertaining to the Residency Model Incomplete Resolution Recommendation from edTPALS.
