EDUC SP 603 Positive Behavior Supports
RATIONALE:
This is a new course in the M.Ed. Special Education certification option. The focus will be on developing positive behavior supports, an important initiative in the field of special education. The course is necessary to adequately address professional standards in special education. Previously in the PB SPED certification program, social and behavioral issues were addressed during the internship experience. This did not provide enough time for candidates to learn the background knowledge to address behavior issues during the internship experience. This 2-credit course will be targeted at developing the necessary background knowledge necessary for candidates to advance behavior management skills during the applied internship experience. Thus, this 2-credit course will emphasize the knowledge standards related to designing positive behavior supports and apply these skills during the internship experience. In the previous PB SPED program the knowledge and skill components were all taught during the internship. Since we needed to target the prerequisite knowledge in this course, it was only necessary to allocate 2 credits rather than three credits, thereby, limiting the summer credit load for students.

Post Masters EDUC EL Program Proposal
RATIONALE:
The Educational Leadership Program has been redesigned to align more specifically with the Educational Leadership Constituent Council’s national standards for school principals. Our recent NCATE process and specific report from the ELCC have guided program overhaul to include alignment of the program assessments to the standards. Assessments, scoring guides and rubrics have been developed to provide more candidate assessment and data-driven decision-making. In addition, more visible connections to the Unit’s conceptual framework of Teacher Education are included in syllabi and course discourse.
