Proposals, Discussion, and Actions
Meeting of October 20, 2006
Cornish Hall, Room D218
11:00 p.m.
Present:� Pamela Summers, Joseph Rayle, Emilie Kudela
Absent:� Marley Barduhn
NOTE:� Pam was detained and arrived to the meeting late.� As there was a quorum, the meeting proceeded on time.� Pam wanted to go through the proposals.� In essence of time, she indicated that she would do this on her own time and address any concerns to Emilie via e-mail.
FSA 550 � �As a graduate level course, Emilie questions the rigor of the course.� It looks more like a tour.� It was suggested that there be an inclusion of the standards for the course, the portfolio needs a rubric and the Attendance Policy needs to be further defined.� The critique of the Resource Guide is not part of student performance.
Action:� Contingent Pass � Make recommended changes.
EDU 315 � Recommended changes have been made.� Suggested adding page numbers for consistency.
Action:� Passed
EDU 379 � This is similar to ECE 270 except that this has 50 hours of practicum. ��Proposal looks good as is.
Action:� Passed
EDU 478 � This is next in sequence to EDU 378.� It takes the place of the Social Studies methods course and focuses on the upper level grades.� The standards have been added and updated.
Action:� Passed
EDU 479 � This is the follow-up to EDU 379.� This is also where the other 50 hours are in the curriculum.� We give field work in both blocks of Childhood.
Action:� Passed
ECE 334 � This has been proposed for two credit hours in order to match the Childhood Program.� This will be in alignment with transfer credits and articulation agreements.� Joseph asked about the use of videos and questioned whether or not they were outdated.� Emilie agreed that the video series is a bit dated, but it is still useful.� They combine this with using some newer things as well.
Action:� Passed
INT 303 � Joseph suggested the use of a resource bibliography in order to identify the required from the recommended readings and to differentiate the book list.� He also asked if this was cleared with the Art Department.� Emilie explained that they do know about it.� This course helps to address all of the arts.� Early Childhood has a curriculum course written in where Childhood does not.� The GE requirement is usually music. ��Joseph asked if there was cognizant work beyond Piaget?� Emilie said that there are other arts that could be included.� They are in the books.
Action:� Contingent Pass � Include the resource bibliography as mentioned in the discussion.
Childhood Early Childhood Education Program � Will be addressed at the next meeting.
Next Meeting:� November 3, 2006, 11:00 am, Cornish Hall, D218.
