Changes to the College of
Education
New President – Dr. Scott Scarborough
Dr. Susan Clark continues as the Interim Dean
Dr. Sandra Coyner has been appointed as the
Interim Associate Dean
Move to Central Hower
COE will be located on the third floor
Zook is being renovated
The COE continues to go through an assessment
and restructuring process.
Budget cuts have been deep in the COE.
New CAEP Standards – Move towards a clinical
model for field and student teaching.
Shift to meet CAEP standards
• Shift from traditional “field course” that included
observation and maybe teaching a lesson or two, to
a “clinical model.”
• Clinical Model – more time and experience rich. Will
provide more opportunities to practice their teaching
skills and learn about the school culture.
• Should provide for earlier interventions of students
in the program. Focus is coaching and feedback to
students.
• Student Teaching Internship – Expectations of
school districts are very different. They expect a
certain level of foundational skills and knowledge
when they begin their student teaching experience.
5
• Last year there were several committees
working on the CAEP Standards.
• Standard #2 is the Clinical Standard.
• This committee made a recommendation of a
clinical model and it was passed in College
Council
• We will be moving to a model in which Teacher
Candidates will have four clinical experiences.
• There will be continued work in designing the
clinical model this year.
6
CAEP Continued
• CAEP Standards have driven many changes that
we will talk about.
• Compliance of the standards
• Primarily creating systems that allow us to
collect and analyze data in a systematic
manner.

employers are providing insurance to workers who

time card.

in the area of assessment and there is no
