Completion of A, B, and C is required: (Please be specific, but concise.)

A. 1. Specific action requested: (Example: Increase the number of credit hours for ABC 100 from 1 to 2.) Redesign of MAT program to align program to new clinical regulations required by CAEP and EPSB.

A. 2. Proposed Effective Academic Term: Fall 2015

A. 3. Effective date of suspended programs for currently enrolled students: (if applicable)

B. The justification for this action: The USDOE mandated a significant shift in the profession and required NCATE and TEAC (the former two accrediting bodies in education) to unite and allotted 5 years for the emergence of a new professional accrediting body that would govern education for the US; thus, we have CAEP. With this systematic shift, education became a “Clinical profession” with rigorous standards committed to producing high-level practicing professionals for our nation’s schools including all types of school personnel. The MAT program, as an initial licensure program, must meet these new expectations. Therefore, a new professional core was created to address program requirements for clinical experiences and new course requirements that address literacy and technology competencies for educators.

C. The projected cost (or savings) of this proposal is as follows:

Personnel Impact: none

Operating Expenses Impact: none

Equipment/Physical Facility Needs: none

Library Resources: none
