Order of Business
Agenda I – Approval of Minutes
The minutes from the October 18, 2010 meeting were accepted.
Agenda II – Announcements
Vivian Covington, chair, made the following announcements.
Two new student representatives were welcomed and introduced; Katherine Alligood, a student in the MAT-Science Education program and Jonathan Lewis, a student in the BS Middle Grades-Math and Science program.
The Welcome to Teacher Education handbook (Apple book) may be found online at http://www.ecu.edu/cs-educ/teached/Index.cfm. This is the semester of the beginning of the revised curriculum and the handbook contains the new five standards plus indicators, which replaced the old 16 competencies and indicators.
The Math Placement Tests will be offered November 10, December 10, and December 13, 2010 in Austin 110. Tests are on a first come first served basis. Contact Gwen Hardin at 328-4111 or harding@ecu.edu, if you have questions.
Agenda III – Assessment Update & Accreditation
Dr. Lys distributed a diagram to help show how SACS, DPI and NCATE relate and intersect with TaskStream, TEMS and TracDAT. The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC) have merged, which may mean a more rigorous bar for teacher preparation in the future. There will not be immediate changes for the nearly 900 preparation programs accredited by NCATE or TEAC. Accreditation pathways offered by both organizations will continue, pending minor adjustments to align to a common set of standards. The link to the full document is http://www.caepsite.org/.
Previously, a November 12, 2010 deadline was given for COE Program areas to complete templates. Data is not available from IPAR. The deadline has been postponed until early spring.
Agenda IV – Standing Update from Office of Clinical Experiences
Ms. Morgan, Lead Coordinator OCE/AL reported that the deadline for the Senior I placements was November 5, 2010. Ms. Morgan thanked everyone for their assistance while she is transitioning into this new position.
Agenda V – Old Business
The Video Consent Form (in English and Spanish) and directions in English are on the Office of Clinical Experiences web page, www.coe.ecu.edu/teached/oce.cfm. This form has been approved by the university attorney and is the correct form to use when requesting consent to videotape students in the public schools.
Agenda VI – New Business
A standard rubric for the early experience course essay was referred to Evaluation and Planning Committee for development.
The second internship placement requests are forthcoming. There are approximately eight students petitioning to redo their internship (prior cancellation by the student or program area). The signed petition from the student must also have the signatures of the advisor, program area coordinator, and the Director of Teacher Education before being submitted to the Admissions and Retention Committee (A&R). Sharon Schleigh stated that more documentation is needed in some instances prior to the A&R meeting. There was some discussion regarding a change in the process. Katherine Alligood suggested medical reasons be allowed and all others appear before the committee. The chair suggested that the committee continue with the same process through this semester and later discuss changes. A motion was made by Michael Bossé and seconded by Mike Brown to continue with the same process this semester and discuss changes later.
Assessment is part of the TQP Grant in the College of Education. Course Instructor Surveys will be sent to early experience (2123, 2611, 2190) classes through SERVE in January for Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 classes.
