List program changes for curriculum revisions:

 

Change EDUC 413  Educational Psychology:  Social Aspects to EDUC 230 Introduction to Exceptional Children, and add EDUC 414 Teaching Exceptional Adolescents as options to EDUC 205  Human Development:  Grades K-8.

Add EDUC 419  Diversity in Secondary Education and EDUC 259 Diversity in Community Context as options to EDUC 258  Cultural Diversity, Schooling and the Teacher.

Add PSYC 209  Measurement and Statistics as an option to EDUC 665  Elementary Statistics.

 

 

 

 

 

List new courses required for the new or revised curriculum:

 (Be aware that approval of the curriculum is dependent upon these courses successfully passing through the Course Challenge list. If there are no new courses enter “None”)

 

None

 

Other affected units:

(List other departments affected by this new or revised curriculum.  Attach permission from the affected units.  If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

 

Psychology. (See attached permission letter)  Only psychology majors may take the PSYC 209 course, so this option will not result in any additional students for this course.  This option simply gives credit for a statistics course already taken by psychology majors who also choose to complete the EDS minor which also requires a statistics course.

 

 

Rationale:

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

 

 

1)      EDUC 230 and EDUC 414 both better fit the needs of students than EDUC 413 as they do not contain a clinical placement with a subject teacher in a secondary school, as these placements are reserved for students becoming secondary teachers.  It also provides options for students who have an interest in children with disabilities.

 

2)      EDUC 419 better fits the needs of students who wish to study adolescents, providing an option for EDUC 258 which concerns diversity issues in the elementary grades, and EDUC 259 offers an enriched cultural diversity context with a field placement in a community organization.

 

3)      PSYC 209 provides credit for Psychology students who take the statistics course in their own major, thereby freeing them from taking a similar statistics course, EDUC 665.
