  1. UTEP Presentation Context Dr. Rosalie Boone and Dr. Helen Bond

  2. Presentation is designed to allow C & I faculty to familiarize faculty of the School of Education with the UTEP proposal that Dean Fenwick will present to President in mid-December. • The UTEP proposal that the President receives will consist of an “executive summary” outlining major elements and features of the program and providing a program scheme. • The Executive Summary will provide the President with sufficient information to judge the major intent, design, and innovativeness of the program. • The Executive Summary will not explicate all details of the program. While a number of details have been outlined by C & I faculty, these will be articulated in program iterations subsequent to approval of the summary by President Ribeau and by the Board of Trustees.

  3. Considerations that Guided Development of the Proposed UTEP

  4. 1) Implications associated with program development and design Department faculty was particularly cognizant of the significance a distinctive, innovative, clearly articulated UG program has for departmental viability

  5. 2) Importance of fidelity to University, School, and Department mission and vision • Department faculty was aware of the critical importance of a program that reflects the University’s vision for the coming years (e.g., increasing Howard’s global footprint). Consequently, the proposed UTEP incorporates emphasis on: • international/global knowledge and experiences • interdisciplinary approach to course offerings and other experiences • use of technology for learning and for instruction • development and use of e-portfolio assessment • undergraduate research • STEM knowledge, skills, and dispositions

  6. In addition to attempting to develop a program in alignment with University mission and vision, UTEP developers also pursued program responsiveness to particular SOE goals • development and dissemination of a national agenda related to the education of African American students • increased visibility of the extensive empirical and practical knowledge and skills available among SOE faculty regarding the development and education of African American children and youth • preparation of teachers with interest and expertise in teaching students in urban and other diverse communities

  7. 3)The value (and efficiency) of synthesizing and incorporating ideas solicited and articulated in numerous faculty venues • Program development co-chairs were committed to incorporating ideas gleaned from school-wide and departmental interactions and deliberations e.g., • May 2011 Retreat • responses to PCAR templates • School wide faculty meetings • C & I work sessions

  8. 4) The need for a program that produces certified, highly effective elementary teachers who are knowledgeable about and fluent in the use of data-based practices. • Program coursework was specified with an eye toward: • meeting certification requirements for elementary teachers in the District of Columbia • addressing areas of need in the field (e.g., STEM, ELL, special education)
