_________________________________________

Here is the "minimum" of what each MUST SHOW (or discuss as a need and take steps to fix it):

NCATE Sources - What is Acceptable
http://www.ncate.org/public/unitStandardsRubrics.asp?ch=4
http://www.ncate.org/public/faqStandards.asp?ch=4#faq4



STANDARD 1 - TEACHER CANDIDATES
Precise wording:  TC are "able" to use technology in teaching
Other school personnel = "use" technology in their practice
Add any pgm documentation = assessment data that demonstrates TC ability to use technology (E.G., teXes EXAM, required course or portfolio, etc.)

Note: our new TA TEKS requires teachers to be able to use tech at the level of what is expected for 8th graders and it will now be expected and tested (already embeded w/n our program as state requirements). I think this is (or will certainly become) our strongest
'evidence' that it will be taken care of. The new TEKS probably has it totally embedded (being approved now / talk about that collaborative process some).

Other contact: Dr. Wynter Chauvin

SURVEY SECTIONS to be added later: 

Example: NU: 1:3, Under Do You Prepare TC? / Do your TCs know how to integrate technology to teach content?)

We might report something like this:
___% of faculty in ____ dept report TCs know how to integrate technology to teach content (highest category checked).  From the comment section, ___% of these mentioned that they do not follow through on this, however.
___% of faculty in ____ dept report TCs  know "little" about how to integrate technology....

STANDARD 2 - ASSESSMT DATA
Precise wording:  Report of progress throughout COE / progress in maintaining the assessment system through the use of information technologies / regularly shared with candidates and faculty respectively to help them reflect on their performance and improve it.  Question to ask: Has technology been assessed? (will INTASC, NETS, and TA TEKS begin requiring this?)

The unit has designed, established, and maintained a structure and governance system for planning, delivering, and evaluating programs that includes school practitioners as well as faculty and administrators in other units of the institution. A key element of that system is the development and implementation of an assessment system that includes the gathering and use of candidate performance data, as described under Standard 2, to ensure that candidates meet standards.

CHAIR of committee: http://www.education.sfasu.edu/ncate/standards/index.htm

SURVEY SECTIONS to be added later: 

Example: NU:2  and BOE:P / under Do You Prepare TC... 
We might report something like this:

  ___% of all faculty surveyed in all departments (73% responding) indicate their department "always" uses technology to monitor progress of TCs throughout the program. ____% of these indicated their department "always" used this information to improve their programs.




STANDARD 3 - FIELD
Precise wording: Clinical practice "allows candidates to use" information technology to support teaching and learning.
Clinical faculty provide regular and continuing support for student teachers and other interns through such processes as observation, conferencing, group discussion, email, and the use of other technology.
Clinical practice provides for candidates' use of information technology to support teaching, learning, and other professional responsibilities.
Expects that candidates have the "opportunity" in their field and clinical experiences to use technology to support teaching and learning.  We might get by on this one if we report the technology grants to get computers in schools, the modeling and teaching of technology in our classes, and the "encouragement" from mentors & supervisors and college classes to integrate technology during internship experiences.
We will add what is discovered via survey and possibly add that this one needs reved up a bit now that we are all begin'g to recognize the signifiance and ability to improve learning using technology in our teaching.

CHAIR of committee: http://www.education.sfasu.edu/ncate/standards/index.htm

SURVEY SECTIONS to be added later:  

Example: BOER 3:B:3  / Do You Prepare TC? / Do you encourage TCs to integrate tech into teach'g in the field? which offers a percentage re dept, etc

It could either be incorporated into this report or added in this way:
___% of TC in_____ dept. are encoruaged by faculty to integrate technology into their field teachiing experience.
___% of TC in ____ dept.....




STANDARD 4 - DIVERSITY
Precise wording: adapt instruction and services appropriately for all students, including students with exceptionalities. They demonstrate dispositions that value fairness and learning by all students.
FAC DEMO ABILITY TO integrate diversity into teaching: http://www.ncate.org/public/faqStandards.asp?ch=4#faq4  
From the "ideal" list: faculty integrate diversity and technology throughout their teaching.

Part of this section can refer to the alternative student needing our Distance Ed Program

Forgot to clear this with the dean and Leonard.

CONTACT PERSON:  Dr. Randy McDonald
(also contact Dr. Melane Mcculler, and maybe Gail Weatherly & Randy Watson)
Ask them to submit a summary report to you of what they offer and short history behind it for our national accreditation.
Ask them specifically about DE: A, Q, and P which is the vision outlined here: http://www.oit.sfasu.edu/disted/facsup/strategicguidelines.html  

SURVEY SECTIONS to be added later:  e.g., V-P
Do you use tech to give personal attention & direction to students?
l00% of all COE faculty use technology to give personal attention & direction to students. This ranges from email to office hours in chat rooms (from comment section).

Most Diversity, like technology, is integrated across the survey 

Example: BOER:5:G:1 under Needs/Access
Is sufficient adaptive technology available to meet your needs? 

We might report something like this:
80% of faculty surveyed in all dept (73% responding) say they feel they have sufficient adaptive technology to meet their needs (top category, "much agree")



STANDARD 5 - FACULTY, both university and school-based (field)
As we learn ways to improve learning with tech, this effectiveness is expected to improve.
Precise wording: faculty "demonstrate the ability to" integrate technology into their teaching
Standard 5 also mandates that the unit "provides opportunities" for faculty to develop new knowledge and skills in areas including technology. Needs are assessed and opportunities for prof development based on these needs is provided.

CHAIR of committee: Finkenberg http://www.education.sfasu.edu/ncate/standards/index.htm
OIT Contact: Melane McCuller

SURVEY SECTIONS to be added later: 

Example:  BOE-M  /under Integration into Teching / Do you integrate technology into your teaching?
We might report something like this:

 ____% of all field teachers surveyed (68% responding) report integrating technology into their teaching "a little" (scored 2 out of 4).  ___% indicated "none" of the time and ___% indicated they "always integrate tech into their teaching.




STANDARD 6 - RESOURCES
Precise wording: expects the unit to have adequate information technology resources to support faculty and candidates. 
NCATE Standard 6 requires that the teacher preparation unit provides adequate campus and school facilities to support candidates in meeting standards. http://www.ncate.org/public/faqStandards.asp?ch=4#faq4   

Standard 6 expects the unit (COE) to have the budget, personnel and facilities, including information technology resources to prepare candidates to meet professional, state and institutional standards. The rubrics expect that the budget allocations are at least proportional to other units on campus, that there are sufficient numbers of full-time faculty and support personnel to support programs, that faculty workloads allow faculty to be effectively engaged in teaching, scholarship, and service. It is also expected that facilities support the use of information technology by candidates and faculty, and that faculty and candidates have access to current and sufficient curricular and library resources and electronic information. http://www.ncate.org/public/faqStandards.asp?ch=4#faq4

2 parts to your report - STANDARD 6 SUMMARY and OTHER DISCOVERIES
It will be your job to get the summary of information from the chair for this section of our report and for you to add in a separate section for anything pertinent you discover on your own and/or your thoughts about what you found.   Please keep these two sections of your standard 6 report separate for now. We may combine them later.

Other contact:  Dr. Wynter Chauvin
You might want to travel to the "field" sites and check into Teacher Candidate and Mentor Teacher ACCESS to technology plus NEEDS expressed. A survey and possible grants might be suggested as possible sollutions if found to be inadequate.

SURVEY SECTIONS to be added later: 

Example: NU:6:5; BOER:5:G;1
Under: Other Re Technology:  "Do you feel you have sufficient access to electronic library....

We might report something like this:
90% of the faculty (78% responding) said they have "some" (yes, some, little, no) access to an electronic library & curricular resouces.
