Notes on meeting
· Updates
1. Assessment data and system
§ All fall data is not in… missing 203 (Science). Malina talked to Glenda about it and said it was on the way.
§ Math Ed and Science Ed (Spring) is not in. Malina will send out reminder to them
§ ELM (Tom) will know more in a week since Master’s program is switching from C&I to ELM and the students are “scattered”
§ Michael will look for the programs for which we need more info and data.
§ DPI deadline for September
2. Std. 1 revisions
§ ISSUES: the word UNDERSTAND
§ Recommendations:
· Observation rubric done twice in student teaching (mid and end)… unit measure
· Undergraduate portfolio should be a program portfolio (not just student teaching ) and should include reflections
· PEC would be better utilized if the focus were on undergraduates.
· Do a graduate rubric or common project? Revisioning will allow room for this
· Tom will send implementation add-on plus document he read from to GP
3. Std. 2 revisions
§ Observation rubrics
§ Common assignment for 200 level courses
· Malina will send draft to GP
4. Std. 3 revisions
§ PEC a week ago… Michael solicited volunteers to help revise courses and will follow-up on common 200 assignment
§ Putting students out in the community – Michael will send an implementation plan to GP
5. Std. 4 revisions
§ Analysis of diversity
§ Courses in diversity? Need to be standardized.
6. CEPC/PEC org (see above)
- Implementation plans need to be sent in by all to GP
· Next steps: implementation plans for revisions
· Program revisioning discussion
o Handouts:
§ MSA coordinators
§ NC Joint Boards Meeting (UNC Tomorrow)
§ A Vision of a 21st Century Testing Program
§ Teacher Prep Continuum
Revisioning task force status and process
o Smaller revisioning team needed (of about 10 people)
o Revisioning process:
§ Tech Ed will be revamped with the GC program, and will become pre-engineering education
§ Parameters: Here is what revisioning will be for NC State and fit in the standards
Possible support for state efforts
MSA coordinators handout:
· General administration is paying to guide the MSA process, but not for teacher education
· In order to stimulate discussion across NC universities… we could create a website… GP will check with Bethany to create it and Meredith will work on it
1. Morph documents into a Teacher Ed format… Moodle?
2. This will be opened to all institutions in the state to share planning documents, assessments, etc.
