Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year |
| Goal #1 |
The program in art education will become a distinct concentration (BFA with a concentration in Art Education) with the ability to add courses to its program and solving other issues as currently the program is taken as second concentration alongside an artistic one. Application to NASAD for accreditation will take place in 09/2013 for implementation in 2014. The implementation of this concentration will improve retention because the practicum will now be within the BFA 132 credits program and students will remain eligible for financial aid. |
| Goal #2 |
Planning the addition of a full 3 credit course in Art Education for the instruction of Students with Special Needs as well as creating a course with content in Art, Visual Culture and Diversity in Education that will include content in ELL instruction. Will be offered for 2014 as soon as we receive NEASC and NASAD approval. |
| Goal #3 |
Expansion of territory for students seeking practicum placement. Additional Support is offered with finding placement in more culturally diverse regions of the state with the intent to increase knowledge and practice with ELL populations. |
