| Progress Toward Goals - 2013 |
|---|
|
Progress made toward prior program year goals |
| Goal #1 |
Each of the subject areas Science, English, and History now have experiences in schools during their methods courses. All subjects must engage in multiple field experiences for the course Teaching English Language Learners. The prepracticum is structured for candidates to visit suburban and urban settings and to teach a lesson. Data analysis of student assessment results is part of the pre-practicum seminar. |
| Goal #2 |
The add-on license is now in place. Upon completion of the elementary program, candidates take an additional 9 credits, which includes a practicum. To encourage and support candidates to continue in the program, we made scholarships available to them .Candidates are spending at least 18 weeks in school settings as a result of adding on the moderate disabilities work. |
| Goal #3 |
Both the elementary and secondary education programs now include the required Teaching English Language Learners course and receive SEI endorsement. As a result of a federal grant, candidates in the initial licensure program are eligible to take additional ELL courses and an internship to attain an ELL license. |
