Agenda Item:  VI. New Business

 

(1.)   Revision of Undergraduate University Curriculum Committee Course Proposal Form for Courses Numbered  0001 - 4999

 

Discussion: Changes to the form are primarily due to the change in the  names of an administrative office and a committee. These changes will be done editorially and do not require a vote from us. However we may want to consider other changes to the form at the same time. We will revisit the issue of the forms later in the semester. We should plan to start using the new form in the fall.

College of Education

Linda Patriarca, Dean, 154 Speight Building
Vivian M. Covington, Director of Teacher Education

The mission of the College of Education is the preparation of professional educators and allied practitioners, including professionals in business information systems, counseling, instructional technology, and librarianship. Significant to this mission is a strong commitment to three important, related areas, all of which are realized through partnerships and other endeavors: the encouragement and nurturing of professional growth for educators and allied practitioners at all levels and in all areas of the educational endeavor, a continuing emphasis on and support for scholarship and research/creative activity, and service in all areas of professional education. Critical to such commitment is the promotion of effective teaching, staff participation in the improvement of schools; and, in concert with other state agencies, the development and creation of educational policy for North Carolina.

The College of Education offers baccalaureate degree programs through the Departments of Business and Information Technologies Education; Curriculum and Instruction; and Mathematics and Science Education. All teacher education programs are accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.

Admission

A faculty advisor will be assigned to each student to assist in program planning. Undergraduate teacher education majors may also be required to complete an approved academic concentration as part of their programs of study. Additional information about academic concentrations and specific program requirements is available in departmental offices. Teacher education is a program that requires formal admittance. Teacher education majors will become official teacher education candidates once they have been fully admitted to Upper Division. Note: These degree requirements are subject to change beginning Fall 2010 pending NC State Board of Education approval of revised licensure program requirements. Students should consult their departmental advisor for specific program information.

Once enrolled in a teacher education program and prior to admission to the upper division of study, students will be required to have a minimum cumulative 2.5 GPA, post passing scores on PRAXIS I, SAT, ACT or combination and meet technology competency requirements. Students must maintain a 2.5 GPA for retention in the upper division of all teacher education programs. Additional information concerning admission to the upper division is available in the Welcome to Teacher Education Handbook or at http://www.ecu.edu/cs-educ/teached.

Upper Division of Teacher Education

Prior to enrolling in selected professional education courses (see departmental requirements) and applying for the internship experience, all students must be admitted to the upper division of teacher education. Application for admission is normally completed during the second semester of the sophomore year or first semester of the junior year. Transfer students must have completed at least 12 s.h. at East Carolina University before they are eligible to apply.

Steps in admission to upper division include:

1. Satisfactory completion of 16-hour early field experience with minimum grade of C, normally as part of departmental 2123 or 2611 courses.
2. Passing scores on PRAXIS I, SAT, ACT or combination.
3. A minimum GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale for all college work attempted at East Carolina University. Students must also meet minimum academic major grade point average requirements. (See catalog or advisor.)
4. Completion of technology competencies. (See advisor.)

Internship

Internship is the culminating aspect of the professional component of teacher preparation. The internship provides students opportunities to synthesize and apply previous learning and experience; to develop and apply analytical and problem-solving skills to the various activities of teaching, including self-evaluation; and to grow professionally through observing, planning, and teaching with an outstanding teacher.

Applications for admission to the internship must be submitted to the internship coordinator in the major department one year prior to the semester in which the student will complete internship requirements. Assignments will be located within the Latham Clinical Schools Network. Students are strongly discouraged from working during their internship. For applications and more detailed information, consult Welcome To Teacher Education Handbook, available in the student stores and online.

Administration of the internship is provided by clinical experiences coordinators, who work with the director of teacher education, department chairs, the teacher education staff, and local school personnel.

A minimum grade of C in the internship and a minimum 2.5 GPA is required for licensure.

Additional Requirements for Interns in Selected Program Areas

In addition to meeting the requirements of all secondary education majors, art majors must have earned a minimum grade of C in ART 3851, 3860.

They must have earned a minimum grade of C in MUSC 2123 and in each course of their major methods sequence, MUSC 3217, 3227, 4323; or MUSC 3237, 3247, 4333; and must also have successfully completed EDUC 3200; 4400 or PSYC 4305; and SPED 4010.

Special education majors must have earned a minimum grade of C in EDUC 3200; READ 3204; all SPED courses taken; and in COMM 2410 or 2420. They must have also successfully completed MATE 3050, 3051, 3060 and MUSC 3048. Special education – General Curriculum majors must also have earned a minimum grade of C in ELEM 3250.

Other secondary education and special subjects majors must have a minimum major 2.5 GPA. They must have earned a minimum grade of C in both the departmental early experience and methods courses as well as have successfully completed EDUC 3200. With the exception indicated above for music education, only 4323 departmental courses are acceptable for meeting the methods course requirement (4611 for FREN, GERM, and SPAN). (Note: The methods course, EDUC 4400, and SPED 4010 should be taken concurrently.)

Licensure

To be eligible for teacher licensure in North Carolina, the student must complete the requirements of an approved competency-based teacher education program designed to meet the requirements for the professional studies components of programs in all teaching areas. For a clear NC teaching license and to meet federal guidelines of the No Child Left Behind Act, individuals must be highly qualified. Twenty-four (24) hours of content area courses or PRAXIS II test(s) are needed to be licensed with the exception of the areas of elementary and special education. PRAXIS II tests are required for those areas. When the programs have been properly planned, coordinated, and implemented, and when these credits and experiences have been verified by the appropriate unit, the dean of the College of Education or designee recommends the issuance of the proper teacher, special services personnel, or administrative license or certificate. Licensure requirements are beyond degree requirements.

Out-of-state applicants who are seeking licensure, in-state residents who are prepared in institutions outside the state, and in-state and out-of-state teachers seeking to change, upgrade, and/or add fields or subjects to their present license must submit their credentials to the appropriate academic department or school and to the director of teacher education for evaluation toward the competency-based teacher education program for North Carolina.
