The U.S. News and World Report rankings just out have us at #48. Dr. Kelly said he appreciates the efforts of the faculty and staff as we continue to work on raising our ranking.

As requested by the University, we have made a 2% budget cut. This includes instructional budget cuts in both departments. Please understand the constraints the Heads will be working within.

The Office of Institutional Research is using College profiles as scorecards. This is important to President Córdova and the Board of Trustees. Student count is important. The University will be getting more money based on student retention and graduation. We will be doing a second profile on teacher education at Purdue. Student credit hour production will be examined.

Dr. Pistole explained the proposed English Learning Language graduate licensure program. This includes licensure for Indiana Teachers (graduate students), and certification for international and out of state students. No field experiences are required. Coursework can begin as an undergraduate. The graduate and licensure programs were voted on separately. The licensure portion was voted on and approved. It was discussed that for the graduate certificate program, you can get a certificate without having a teaching license. The certification portion was voted on and approved. A Form 25 also needed to be voted on but was not on the agenda. Dr. Pistole asked for a vote to discuss and then vote on this item and it was approved. The Form 25 allows Curriculum and Instruction to delete the Ed.S. degree. Discussion followed. A vote was taken and the majority approved; two no votes, no abstained votes.

August 28, 2009

Present: Austin, Bennett (e-mail), Britsch, Dietz, Ertmer (e-mail), Oakes, Shepardson Absent: Dimitt, Mann The meeting was opened at 10:30. Professor Shepardson moved approval of EDPS 62500 with the condition that a properly prepared and completed Form 40 be submitted by Sept 4, 2009. Motion was seconded and approved. If a properly completed Form 40 is not received by Sept 4, 2009, EDPS 62500 would be withdrawn from the Sept. 11, 2009 COE faculty meeting. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 11:00.

OFFICE OF FIELD EXPERIENCES – LINDA AUSTIN

The Office of Field Experiences completed our 2008-2009 Annual Report. Here are some highlights. Office of Field Experiences Annual Report Executive Summary is located on the OFE website;

http://www.education.purdue.edu/fieldexp/pdf/OFE_AR_Exec_Sum_08-09.pdf Early Field Experiences: There were 2,343 early field experience placements for the 2008-2009 academic year - a 2% increase from the previous year. Student Teaching: A little more than 46% of the student teaching placements were located in Tippecanoe County. Purdue partnered with 186 schools in 75 different school corporations for student teaching placements. A total of 447 student teaching placements were obtained for 417 students (a 13.5% decrease in placements/7.5% decrease in students). In the 2008-2009 school year, 209 students were eligible for certification in all-grade or secondary education, 156 students were eligible for elementary certification, 6 were eligible for early childhood education certification, 27 for special education certification and 19 for speech and hearing certification. Urban Experience: In fall 2008, the College of Education partnered with Chicago Public Schools (CPS) for the 2nd year in a row for an early field experience course. Twelve Block I students spent two full days in a Chicago Public School, and one day immersed in the culture of Chicago. Two students (one in elementary and one in English) chose to student teach in Chicago Public Schools. Early Field Experience Concern: It is a difficult task to find appropriate host schools for the various block courses, since the local area is saturated with placements. All area schools host a minimum of one block course. Five area schools host two block courses, which is a considerable commitment by those schools. For the 2009-2010 academic year, four schools will be hosting two blocks. Ideally it would be best if each school hosted only one block course. Student Teaching Concern: There is an increasing concern in our office with regard to the difficulty encountered when seeking student teaching placements. During the fall semester, 25/140 (18%) contracts were returned “unable to place” and thus had to be re-sent sometimes as many as four times. During the spring semester, 35/322 (11%) contracts were returned “unable to place” and thus had to be re-sent sometimes as many as four times.

OFFICE OF GRADUATE STUDIES – KATHY DIETZ

Fall 2009 Enrollment As of September 2, 2009, 428 graduate students were registered for the Fall 2009 semester--an increase from Fall 2008! This unofficial number may decrease a little due to drops early in the semester. The official Fall 2008 student enrollment was 402. New Graduate Student Orientation The New Graduate Student Orientation was held on August 17, 2009, for new admits to the College of Education. Special thanks to Dr. Santos de Barona, Dr. Moon, Dr. Gilger, Dr. Rud, Dr. Lehman, Dr. Samarapungavan, and Nielsen Pereira for participating. Thanks also to Vicki Black and Jennifer Stroud for helping with the orientation and reception. Summer 2009 Graduates The College of Education graduated 33 candidates in August of 2009, which included 5 master’s and 8 doctoral students in Curriculum and Instruction and 6 master’s, 1 educational specialist, and 13 doctoral students in Educational Studies. STEM Goes Rural The College welcomed 17 students to our new STEM Goes Rural program which began this summer. Areas of enrollment include: biology--9, mathematics--5, physics--2, and technology--1. IRT Assistant Professor Erik Malewski represented the COE at the Summer Workshop of the Institute for the Recruitment of Teachers (IRT) at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts in July. The Institute's mission is to increase the number of African American, Latino/a and Native American students pursuing advanced degrees for teaching, counseling and administrative careers so the pool of potential faculty members at both the K-12 and university levels will become more diverse. Dr. Malewski discussed COE programs with students who are rising seniors, recent graduates, and IRT alumni returning to pursue graduate studies. Within the next couple of weeks, IRT student contact sheets will be distributed to program conveners and faculty in specific program areas. Please take a few minutes to e-mail these talented students to encourage them to attend Purdue. Assistance Please contact us (education-gradoffice@purdue.edu; -42345) for assistance. We will be happy to help! Also, faculty and students can view our website at www.education.purdue.edu/gradoffice for forms and information under “Current Students” and “Faculty & Staff.”

OPPL Staff T.J. Oakes, Christine Hofmeyer, Scott Bogan, and Kim Sagendorf plus graduate/undergraduate assistants OPPL Service OPPL assists prospective students, current students, alumni, faculty, staff, and P-12 educators with teacher preparation, licensure and continuing education needs. OPPL provides information about the teacher education programs available at Purdue, processes admission applications for all teacher education programs, and monitors students’ progress through the program. Admission to the Purdue University Teacher Education Program is a separate and distinct step beyond admission to the University. This office also provides explanation and interpretation of teacher licensing requirements, processes, and recommends licensure for candidates who complete teacher education programs at Purdue. OPPL maintains licensing records and provides accreditation support. Teacher Education Governance and Meetings • Teacher Education Council (TEC). The first TEC meeting is scheduled for September 25, 2009, 1:30 p.m. in BRNG 1284. The TEC is the governing body for Teacher Education at Purdue. http://www.teach.purdue.edu/governance/index.html • Program Convener Council (PCC). The PCC met on September 8, 2009. The PCC provides teacher education faculty support as well as the opportunity to network and share information about each program. The next PCC meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 7, 2009. http://www.teach.purdue.edu/pcc/index.html • TEC Special Cases Committee. Meetings are scheduled for January 6, 2010, and May 6, 2010. The Special Cases Committee convenes to hear cases pertaining to candidates not meeting standards and requirements of the Teacher Education Program. http://www.education.purdue.edu/oppl/2009-2010/TECSpecialCasesGuideline8-21-09.doc Issues and Notes On July 29, 2009, the Indiana Department of Education Professional Standards Advisory Board members were presented proposed new rules that will affect such issues as accreditation, teacher education programs, teacher mentors, teacher induction, new program proposals, program reviews, Praxis I and other similar items. Following are the documents

Summary of Proposed Rule Revisions for Educator Preparation and Accountability (REPA) Frequently Asked Questions about Indiana’s new Educator Licensing System (REPA) Title 515 Advisory Board of Division of Professional Standard Proposed Rule The Board members asked for additional time to review the documents. At its work session on August 20, 2009, the Board was presented changes and discussed additional concerns. As of this writing, the Board is scheduled to meet on September 3, 2009, to take action on the rules. If you wish additional information or copies of the documents, contact T. J. Oakes at oakest@purdue.edu • Teacher Education Standards, Program Review and Accreditation. Specialized Professional Associations (SPAs) are national organizations and constituent members of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). SPAs have standards for P-12 students and for candidates preparing to work in schools. Your teacher education programs should align with these standards as well as state and institutional standards. Prior to the next accreditation visit (Spring 2012) Purdue will undergo SPA program review. For additional details, refer to: http://www.ncate.org/institutions/standards.asp?ch=4, http://www.doe.in.gov/dps/standards/welcome.html http://www.ncate.org/institutions/process.asp and http://www.doe.in.gov/dps/teacherprep/program_review.html. In addition, NCATE announced a new approach to its accreditation system by creating two alternative pathways: the Continuous Improvement or Transformation Initiative tracks. Beginning this year, NCATE expects institutions to either demonstrate continuous improvement toward excellence or successfully complete a challenging transformation initiative. For details, visit: http://www.ncate.org/ • Performance Assessment and TaskStream. Reminder, all Gate C (at least one methods course) and Gate D (student teaching) teaching performances assessments for initial teacher education programs must use the corresponding Teaching Performances Rubrics (or approved adaptations). These assessments must be recorded in TaskStream. Contact Richard Frisbie (rfrisbie@purdue.edu) for rubric questions and Doc Vinh (EdIT@purdue.edu) for TaskStream questions. TaskStream information also is located at http://www.education.purdue.edu/edit/Taskstream/.

The Department of Curriculum and Instruction’s annual retreat was held on August 18, 2009, from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Following are highlights from that meeting. New faculty and staff members for 2009-10 were welcomed to the department:

Levon Esters is a new colleague in Agriculture Education (75% YDAE, 25% C&I). He received his B.S. degree in agricultural business from Florida A&M, his M.S. in agriculture education from North Carolina A&T State University, and his Ph.D. in agricultural and extension education Penn State University. He taught high school agricultural science and business and served as the coordinator for the Ag-Business Career Pathway at CHSAS (Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences). From 2004-2009, Dr. Esters was a faculty member in the Department of Agricultural Education and Studies at Iowa State University.

Nathan Mentzer is a new colleague in engineering/technology education (75% IT, 25% C&I). He received his B. S. and M. S. degrees in technology education from Montana State University, and his Ph.D. in engineering and technology education from Utah State University in 2008. He spent last year working as a post-doctoral research associate with the National Center for Engineering and Technology Education at Utah State. Prior to working on his doctorate, Nathan spent 5 years in the classroom as an engineering and technology education teacher in Montana.

We have two new colleagues in CLEAR. Daphne Driskill is a new Clinical Instructor working with Reading Recovery. She received her BA from Ohio University and her MA from Ohio State. She has spent the past several years as a Reading Recovery Teacher Leader in Ft. Wayne. Beth Hopper is the new Director of Professional Development in CLEAR.

Meredith Richmond is a familiar face who is joining us now as a part-time continuing lecturer who will be working with the social studies program.

We had two losses over the summer. Ruby Sanny resigned her position and has moved to the Chicago area. Corey Drake, who had accepted a position with us in mathematics education, changed her mind and decided to stay at Iowa State. Brief reports from departmental committees and college offices were presented.

The C&I Elementary Teacher Education Committee, chaired by Susan Britsch, will be continuing to work on preparations for the elementary SPA review next year, proposed curricular changes, community college articulation, and other issues.

The Faculty Affairs Committee, chaired by Jennifer Richardson, will be focusing on issues of interest to the faculty.

The Graduate Committee, chaired by Jerry Krockover, will be addressing course approvals, student waivers, and other graduate business.

The Primary Committee will perform its usual review and mentoring functions. Following the reports, Dean Santos de Barona welcomed the faculty to the new school year on behalf of the college. Following are the C&I goals for the coming year:

Overarching o Continue preparations for SPA, NCATE, and NCA accreditation reviews. o Grow graduate applications and improve graduate selectivity.

Better recruitment and better screening o Improve communication through more effective web presence.

Discovery o An on-going department goal is to publish an average of at least 2 refereed journal articles per faculty

member annually and to acquire external funding of about $125,000 per faculty member.

Learning o Complete development of a new doctoral core for C&I, and prepare to implement it. o Finalize and plan for implementation of revisions to the elementary education program. o Ensure that all programs align with the accountability requirements for SPAs, NCATE, and NCA.
