Mr. Wittel comes to the College of Education from Auxiliary Services where he was Manager of Computer Support. He brings an extensive background in information technology and management to this new position and will coordinate technology resources and training for the College of Education, including the development of a data management system for the College and overseeing tech support.
Mr. Wittel will begin his service in the College on October 1st and become an important member of our NCATE Technology committee.
return
10-07-05 3pm rm 118 McKibben
All members were present.
Productive discussion on the path we should take to provide the evidence NCATE will expect to see. We spent some time "catching up" our new College of Ed Technology Coordinator on the assignment at hand.
All members agreed that a survey might be a prudent way to begin but we will take more time in deciding what goes on it before sending it to the various SPA committees for their collection of data.
Steve offered to revise the web page he created based upon our discussion and new information. We will meet again next week to agree on the web page conceptual model which will provide us with a visual direction plus determine survey contents.
return
10-14-05 3pm rm 118 McKibben
Meeting to discuss technology conceptual model and SPA survey contents.
All members were in attendance and John Leonard (NCATE co-chair) joined us in a healthy productive discussion as to the direction we shall take. Carol furnished some more readings to consider and Steve brought another conceptual model which helped to align everything layer over layer down to the individual course standard strands which will prove helpful in directing our bigger picture and where we might best fit in the initial survey to begin our accountability for technology infusion across the COE. Again, the "survey" idea was discussed with respect the the new rubric drafts NCATE has placed online (link below). Because Steve teaches our ELE304 technology course for teacher candidates, he will begin the SURVEY DRAFT circulation among the committee members and it is hoped it may be completed in time for next week's SPA committee meeting which will discuss a newly created cd which houses all critical documents, instructions, and hopefully our survey piece. John Leonard will email current list of SPA writers and update Mary Nelle Brunson (NCATE co-chair) on our activities.

02-03-06 1:30pm rm 118 McKibben
Meeting to discuss committee roles, new survey data, survey revision, committee direction
Handouts:
Updated & Revised Survey
New Survey Data - standard 5 Faculty & Prof Dev needs http://www.kin.sfasu.edu/pdresults.html
SFA Mission http://www.sfasu.edu/research/ind_sfam.htm
SFA Vision / Letter from the President & & Strategic Directions for SFA [Direction V] http://www.cob.sfasu.edu/upc/plan_draft.htm
All members were present and very active contributors at this meeting.
Discussion:
- Survey revision & quantitative value discussion on whether to follow NCATE 3210 ratings or one that better reflects the data we want to collect. Good points made by all. Abel will continue to revise and send via email for feedback.
- Wittel volunteered to set up the survey and collect data for us once the final version is approved.
- Abel mentioned brief discussion with Dean = to clarify role with Leonard.
- Abel met with Leonard following this meeting. Leonard gave Abel a copy of the handout from this morning's meeting with the following role to better clarify our focus (and emailed Monday Feb 6th to reiterate):
PER: p.10 "NCATE Steering Committed & Committee Chair Meeting Agenda" Feb 3, 2006It now appears there are 5 committees involved in some way and relating to our technology success in the COE at SFA (are there others?)
Technology Committee - Roles and Responsibilities
- Ensure the integration of technology into instructional practice & work w Standard 5 Committee to assess technology professional development.
Leonard also announced two new members to our committee (p. 9):
- Maintain minutes.
Jarod Lambert, visiting assistant professor from Sec Ed & Ed Leadership and the one who created the impressive logo to be used on the NCATE report lambertjm@sfasu.edu
http://apache.sfasu.edu/htbin/FAC_STAFF_PHONE_DIR
Sally Swearingen, Associate Professor of Human Sciences sswearingen@sfasu.edu
http://apache.sfasu.edu/htbin/FAC_STAFF_PHONE_DIR
Abel requested 3 critical items from Leonard who will send them asap:Leonard will get # 1 & 2 to Abel soon and #3 is somewhat better clarified in the "roles & responsibilities" above. He also emailed a "sample" report that "met" the standard for technology in 2003: http://www.emich.edu/coe/NCATE2003/BOE_Report2_04.pdf
- Technology rept from last NCATE visit
- BOE form NCATE will follow when evaluating our technology rept.
- Identify the section to which this committee will link its report and to better delineate what is expected.
Notice pages 11-12 (#2) seem to match SFA 08 strategic directions http://www.cob.sfasu.edu/upc/plan_draft.htm [Direction V]
and p.14 reminds us of the importance of showing "committment" to technology
It also explains the new role which links our committee to the standard 5 committee. Abel will keep this in mind while revising the survey. These were committee handouts at today's meeting.
1. Distance Ed Policy Committee chaired by Dr. Randy McDonald (Abel is member)
2. Elementary Ed Committee chaired by Dr. Wynter Chauvin
3. Teaching Excellence Center co-chaired by Drs. Scharff & Moore (Abel is member) http://www.sfasu.edu/teachingexcellence/index.html
4. NCATE Technology Committee chaired by Dr. Abel (this page)
5. Standard 5 Committee chaired by Dr. Mel Finkenberg concerning faculty qualifications
41. Action: increase and simplify the technology support structure for faculty and staff
a. Explanation: The growing use of technology necessitates an expanded technical support structure for employees. Furthermore, confusion still exists when discussing technology support and service. There is not a clear understanding what services and/or support are provided by Information Technology Services (ITS), the Office of Instructional Technology (OIT), the Web Development Office (WDO) and Library Services.
http://www.cob.sfasu.edu/upc/plan_draft.htm
Note: Clearly there is commitment at SFA but it is now time to organize all of this energy.
We shall now include Standard 5 committee members in our conversations about technology when it concerns them, and keep the lines of communication open per our new role clarified today.

Meeting 03-09-06 - Steering Committee
1pm, room 357 McKibben
It appears we still have much work to do.
Concerns were expressed about the limits of our survey (I think we knew that); the dean and I will meet and then touch base with the Technology Committee at our March 24th meeting.
Official NCATE Report is located here:
http://www.education.sfasu.edu/ncate/
The Dept of Elem Ed is using webct to show & tell the reports as they are generated for all to see and share.
Of possible interest - SPA reports are expected to provide samples for the assessments they use (one for each of 1, 2, 3 rating). I suspect technology is on its way down this path.

Clarification on Direction - UPDATE
Fri 6/2/2006 9:35 AM
Carol,
The best way to document your use of technology is to identify what the standards require and then provide evidence for what you are doing towards those requirements. Five of the six NCATE Unit Standards include references to technology. In Standard 1, the elements on professional knowledge and skills have technology expectations for candidates. In Standard 2, the second element requires the use of technology in the maintenance of the assessment system. In Standard 3, the second element indicates that candidates should demonstrate their knowledge of how to use information technology in teaching and learning. In Standard 5, in the element on modeling best practices, professors are expected to use technology in their teaching. And in Standard 6, there is an element entitled "Resources including Technology." There is no checklist. The Unit Standards are the "bottom line" that should guide both institutions and BOE members.
If you have additional questions, please let me know.

That is correct. Programs deal with technology in the SPA reports when the SPA standards address technology (some do, some don't).

Technology Committee Report

4:00 PM
Members Present:
Steven A. Josephsen (Chair of meeting)
Robert Judy
Marie Davenport
Members reviewed the places where Dr. John Jacobson was listed as the “Person to Implement” in its Follow Up Recommendation matrix. In all cases where a person is listed, the committee notes that there may be others we are not aware of who are more appropriate functionaries. In that light, any person listed in this manner must be free to defer that responsibility as fitting. In addition, the “Person to Implement” may delegate any and all of those duties to other committees or University personnel as deemed appropriate. The “Person to Implement” need only oversee, review, and/or approve the progress, reports, revisions, and/or recommendations etc. generated as needed. (Notation to this affect should be included in the report.)
The committee recommended changes in each of the matrix boxes and recorded those on a master copy submitted to Dr. Carolyn Abel.
Regarding the other pages we were to examine, Robert Judy made a revision request. The link for “Classroom Technologies” goes to a photograph of some TCs working on a laptop. He will create a description of the typical tech options we have installed in our classrooms and will take a representative photograph. He will also do the same for the computer lab. These documents will be emailed to Dr. Abel to be used as documentation support in the link in place of the current photo. No specific timeframe was indicated for this task.
Sincerely,
Steven A. Josephsen
