Proposal Information:(Procedures for form #3)

Course justification:

The MS Business Education (Post Secondary) program is designed to prepare students to teach in the Wisconsin Technical College (WTC) System. The program incorporates the seven certification courses required for teaching in the WTC System. Students enrolled in the Spring 2011 ITBE 750 Improvement of Instruction in Business Education, the Teaching Methods (WTC certification No. 52) course, requested an opportunity for hands-on teaching experience at a technical college. Although some students in this MS program already have teaching in either K-12 or post-secondary classroom, some students have no teaching experience. This new course is designed to meet this request and provide teaching experience for students who do not have it. Therefore, the new course will be an elective course in the program.

Relationship to program assessment objectives:

The mission and main purpose of the MS Business Education (Post Secondary) program is to prepare students to teaching the Wisconsin Technical College System. This course will better prepare those students who do not already have teaching experience.

Budgetary impact:

This course will be taken by a limited number of students. When the one-credit course cannot be part of the instructor’s teaching load, it will be handled as an overload. Mileage will be needed for faculty to observe each student at least one time.

Course description:(50 word limit)

This course is designed to provide hands-on teaching experience in a post-secondary education environment. The experience will provide the student with an opportunity to gain experience and apply knowledge and skills learned in the classroom. Prerequisite: EDFOUND 625 and either (ITBE 750 or ITBE 762)

If dual listed, list graduate level requirements for the following:

1. Content (e.g., What are additional presentation/project requirements?)
NA

2. Intensity (e.g., How are the processes and standards of evaluation different for graduates and undergraduates? )
NA

3. Self-Directed (e.g., How are research expectations differ for graduates and undergraduates?)
NA

Course objectives and tentative course syllabus:

• Students will gain experience in a post-secondary classroom.
• Students apply knowledge learned in the classroom
• Students will observe and assist an experienced post-secondary instructor
• Students will teach a portion of a post-secondary course with feedback from an experienced instructor
• Students will complete a reflective portfolio based on their experience

Bibliography: (Key or essential references only. Normally the bibliography should be no more than one or two pages in length.)
