AACTE Publishes New Principles for Accreditation
AACTE Board of Directors has
made a great effort to produce a
document titled, Principles for
National Accreditation in
Educator Preparation, to guide discussions among
educators and other stakeholders about the role of
accreditation in serving the public purposes of education.
A key part of the preamble reads “AACTE affirms the
importance of accreditation, particularly its role in
assuring that the preparation of professional educators
ultimately serves the interests and learning of PK-12
students.”
The principles are:
THE QUALITY PRINCIPLE: Accreditation Improves the Quality of Education
THE EVIDENCE PRINCIPLE: Accreditation Is Grounded in Evidence of Effectiveness/Graduate Quality
THE CONSENSUS PRINCIPLE: Accreditation Reflects Consensus on Best Practices
THE SERVICE PRINCIPLE: The Accreditation Process Is Transparent and in Service to the Profession and the Public

Ed. Leadership Student Leads a Local Chamber of Commerce
Kari Whaley, Ed. D. in
Educational Leadership
Executive Track candidate, was
recruited to be the new CEO and
President of the St. Cloud
Chamber of Commerce. For her
first chamber meeting the
speaker will be Debra Pace, (Exec. Ed.D., ’15),
Osceola School District superintendent.
Kari's research is a study of doctoral candidates'
and recent graduates' perceptions of the
supervision they received while in their doctoral
program. Participants are from across the US and
across disciplines including education, health, and
business to name a few. Her results will be the US
survey portion of the international study that
Thomas Vitale, Colton Tapoler, and Rosemarye
Taylor are conducting.
2016 Has Been a Busy Curriculum Season for STLL Last week STLL announced two successes in the
curriculum area. The long effort to revise the B.S.
in Elementary Education was approved by UPCC,
and the MAT in Art Education was reactivated by
Graduate Council. These were important
milestones in the continuing effort by faculty to
provide student with high quality programs, yet
those efforts are not the only ones put forward by
faculty.
Here is a scorecard of other STLL curriculum
efforts:
The M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction
revision will be considered by the CEDHP
Graduate Curriculum Committee.
The M.Ed. in Mathematics Education is being
renamed to Secondary Education, Tracks in
Mathematics Education, Science Education,
Social Studies Education, and English/
Language Arts Education are being added, and
the curriculum is being revised.
The B.S. in Physical Education is being
administratively reactivated. With approval of
VP Elizabeth Dooley the program will begin
accepting students fall 2017.
The Urban Education Graduate Certificate
program is being revised and the name
changed to “Supporting High Needs
Populations.”
The College of Arts and Humanities and
CEDHP are negotiating a transfer of the
Graduate Certificate in ESOL to CEDHP.
Math Ed. Grad Wins 2017 AMTE Early Career Award
Dr. Jennifer M. Tobias (Ph.D. ’08),
Associate Professor of
Mathematics Education at Illinois
State University, is the recipient
of the 2017 Early Career Award.
Dr. Tobias' research focuses on
prospective teachers’ content
knowledge and the development of that
knowledge. Her research has been published in the
Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, Journal
of Mathematical Behavior, Investigations in
Mathematics Learning, and International Journal
for Mathematics Teaching and Learning. Her
practitioner work has been published in Teaching
Children Mathematics, Mathematics Teaching in
the Middle School, and Mathematics Teacher. Her
book (Leading the Change: Making Sense of
Mathematics for Teaching Grade 3 – 5, co-
authored with Juli Dixon, Ed Nolan, Thomasenia
Adams, and Guy Barmoha) was published by
Solution Tree in 2016.
Jennifer is committed to the continual
development of teaching and research practices in
mathematics education through her work with
colleagues and graduate students at Illinois State
University and colleagues across the country.

unique forum for students of the humanistic and
social sciences to engage with fellow scholars. The
cornerstone of F3S’s efforts is the Annual
Conference of the Social Sciences, where graduate
and undergraduate students come together to
present and discuss their work with a broad
audience that crosses disciplines, professions,
origins, and walks of life.
The 12th Annual conference theme, From Social
Problems to Social Promise highlights the role of
research in addressing current social inequalities,
cultivating a sense of hope, and providing more
equitable solutions for the future. We are excited
to announce this year’s keynote speaker,
renowned public speaker, Dr. Victor Rios,
Professor of Sociology at the University of
(Math Ed. Grad Wins 2017 AMTE Early Career Award
