Order of Business
Agenda I – Approval of Minutes
A motion was made by Joe Ciechalski and seconded by Michael Brown to approve the minutes from the September 10, 2007. The minutes were accepted.
Agenda II – Announcements
Everyone was asked to verify contact information.
An updated committee list was distributed. (Members met later to elect chairs).
Students needing a copy of their SAT/ACT scores for admission to Upper Division, may find them on OneStop on Profiles Tab–Student Profile. PRAXIS scores are also available. Faculty need to access the SOATEST screen in Banner to view PRAXIS scores after MVS is discontinued in November.
The first internship application deadline is November 5, 2007 at 5:00 p.m. All other applications should be held until January 11, 2008.
The internship application includes a statement pertaining to convictions. Assistance is needed in reminding students of the seriousness of this section of the application. When a student subs during Senior II, the school system completes a background check. Some students have had convictions after admission to Upper Division and have not discussed their situation with the Directer of Teacher Education, as written on the application.
DLK Recruitment is placing teachers in positions in London. Individuals must go within six months of graduation. For more information, students should contact Barbara.Hatch@uk-pro.net.
The next ASIP Computer Challenge Exams are October 25, October 29, January 9 or January 10. Students may contact bassm@ecu.edu to register. Students failing the exam will have time to register to take the course spring 2008.
The Office of Professional Development recently sponsored a workshop on classroom management with approximately 60 individuals attending. The next workshop, “Culture of Poverty: A Workshop for Teacher Education Faculty,” will be November 6 from 1-4:00 p.m. in Mendenhall Student Center, Room 244. Registration is requested at coeopd@ecu.edu. Topics for future workshops considered are diversity and arts in the curriculum.

Agenda III – Old Business
Assistance is needed in getting more students to participate in the BB&T Teacher Leadership Academy. It is not too late for students to join the existing group. Another group will be selected in the spring. The COE would like to continue this academy through the BB&T grant for another year.
Two student representatives are still needed to serve on the committee. They can be either undergraduates or graduate students. Send names to Sherry Tripp or Vivian Covington.
There is a general methods course available online for lateral entry (LE) teachers. It is preferred that LE teachers take methods in their major area. More departments need to offer their methods course online.
Using charter schools for internship placements was discussed. One school in particular has requested that interns be placed in their school. In the past, charter schools were not used for intern placements. Seven out of the sixteen UNC systems use charter schools. There are 20 to 30 charter schools within the LCSN network. Charter schools have a different learning experience. There is not much diversity or inclusion in the classrooms. Testing requirements are different from other public schools. Should there be a policy for all or should a particular school meet specific standards? Practicum placements are made at charter schools. Mary Lisa Pories made a motion and Joe Ciechalski seconded to send this matter to the Policy Committee for their recommendation.
Agenda IV – New Business
Lynne Davis distributed the DPI/IHE Survey Results for 2006-2007. On a scale of one to four, program completers for the initial program, masters level, and administrators rated each level high. High ratings were also received on Unit Summaries for the Initial and Advanced Programs Exit Surveys, Dispositions, Portfolio Components, and Progress Report Scores.
She gave an assessment update, highlighting the proposed NCATE/DPI alignment, the old and proposed standards, proposed program approval process, proposed timelines for implementation and the program revision process beginning with CTE responsibilities then program areas.
