SECTION 5: FIELD EXPERIENCES AND CLINICAL PRACTICE

Field experiences and clinical practice start when a candidate is admitted into the proposed education program and are grouped into three types: 1) initial/early field experiences, 2) more intensive field experiences and 3) Clinical Practice/Student Teaching. These experiences are to be aligned with the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession. Each grouping addresses minimum requirements.

For the purpose of this Program Review, OBR follows the definition for Clinical Practice and Field Experiences as found in the NCATE Glossary:

Clinical Practice. Student teaching or internships that provide candidates with an intensive and extensive culminating activity. Candidates are immersed in the learning community and are provided opportunities to develop and demonstrate competence in the professional roles for which they are preparing. http://www.ncate.org/Standards/NCATEUnitStandards/NCATEGlossary/tabid/477/Default.aspx#F

Field Experiences. A variety of early and ongoing field-based opportunities in which candidates may observe, assist, tutor, instruct, and/or conduct research. Field experiences may occur in off-campus settings such as schools, community centers, or homeless shelters. http://www.ncate.org/Standards/NCATEUnitStandards/NCATEGlossary/tabid/477/Default.aspx#F

1) Initial/Early Field Experiences

1. Observations2. Supervised experiences3. Method of earning hours (embedded, course base)4. Documentation of candidate performance by university supervisors, and/or P12 teachers5. Explain benchmarks or gateways

5. Additional specific assessments determined by the proposed program (action research, case study, teacher work samples)

Describe how the proposed program will meet these minimum expectations and indicate what if any, additional initial field experiences will be included.

Teacher candidates enroll in clinical practice in their final semester. They are required to spend 15 weeks in an appropriate setting according to their licensure area. Candidates are placed with cooperating teachers assigned by the school district with collaboration from the Lake Erie College Field Director. Although candidates may vary in their readiness to take on the entire classroom responsibilities, they begin by teaching one or two areas/courses and building until they are teaching the full load no later than the fourth week of their experience. The candidate continues teaching the full load until the end of the semester. Campus supervisors and cooperating teachers use the same criteria for evaluating performance. Campus supervisors make a minimum of 8 visits and complete 8 evaluations. Cooperating teachers also conduct 8 evaluations. Campus supervisors assist students in understanding the expectations of the Teacher Performance Assessment which includes action research, case study, and teacher

Qualifications of Mentor TeachersHow does the proposed program ensure that all candidates have qualified and diverse clinical educators, coaches and mentors during field experiences and clinical practice? Explain the criteria you use [in addition to these minimum requirements: three years of successful teaching focused in the field and the recommendation and/or approval by a building administrator] to ensure mentors are well prepared.Lake Erie College submits requests for mentor teachers to the school districts. Usually one person in the district offices is designated to work with Colleges and University in placing students. Our expectations include: highly qualified, Master’s Degree, successfully completed the requisite number of years in Middle Grades. Lake Erie College offers an orientation for all mentor teachers at the beginning of the semester and a wrap-up session at the conclusion of the semester. Campus supervisors who are well acquainted with the expectations of the program make frequent visits and are available “on-call” should problems arise. Lake Erie College employs a full time faculty member as Field Director who interacts with the community and is responsible to work with the schools to place students in appropriate places in both public and approved private schools. In addition to that, Lake Erie College employs a full time faculty member to oversee the campus supervisors, oversee implementation of the Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA), guide the seminar curriculum, work with students in the field, and connect with teachers and administrators.

Student Teaching PlacementsHow are student teachers placed? Describe the criteria you will use when selecting a school district and your criteria for selecting cooperating teachers. Lake Erie College employs a full time faculty member as Field Director who interacts with the community and is responsible to work with the schools to place students in appropriate placements in both public and approved private schools. In addition the field director oversees the campus supervisors, plans orientation and professional development for cooperating teachers and campus supervisors, oversees implementation of the Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA), guides the seminar curriculum, works with students in the field, and connects with teachers and administrators.

Lake Erie College submits requests for mentor teachers to the school districts. Usually one administrator in the district offices is designated to work with Colleges and University in placing students. Our expectations for cooperating teachers include: highly qualified teachers with a Master’s Degree and appropriate licensure and those who have successfully completed the requisite number of years in Middle Grades.

LEC provides opportunities for students to work in a variety of schools. The College is located in Lake County which includes populations that are diverse ethnically, culturally, racially, economically, and socially. The schools reflect this diversity offering LEC students a wide variety of classroom environments. In addition to Lake County LEC also places students in Ashtabula, Geauga, and parts of Cuyahoga County. These counties also reflect a wide variety of families from all socio-economic levels.

Middle Childhood Licensure Program

attendance. Each student is responsible for obtaining class notes and is responsible for all material covered (even if absent). A student's grade will be reduced one letter grade for more than one (1) missed classes. Your attendance at every class is expected and required (and being here “in body” doesn’t necessarily mean you are “here”; active participation is a must, and sleeping, doing work/studying for other classes, instant messaging, clockwatching, personal grooming, and other inattentive behaviors are not welcome). As a courtesy to me and to your classmates, turn off all cell phones, pagers, etc. before class begins.

Texting/IMing/Surfing in class is unacceptable under any circumstances—if a situation arises that demands your attention you should not be in the classroom. Disruptive behavior will not be allowed. Every violation of this policy after first warning results in a recorded absence for the day.

b. Academic Dishonesty, Plagiarism, and Cheating: The Division of Education adheres to Lake Erie College’s policies and procedures regarding

academic honesty. Any act of academic dishonesty or cheating by a student seriously impugns the integrity of Lake Erie College and the student and will not be tolerated. Penalties for academic dishonesty will be imposed at the discretion of the individual faculty member. Any violation of academic standards may result in penalties up to and including expulsion. Any act of academic dishonesty, plagiarism, or cheating will result in the loss of points

for that assignment. Any form of plagiarism may result in receiving zero (0) points for that assignment. Consult the Lake Erie College Student Success Planner for more details.

c. Disability Statement: Lake Erie College does not discriminate in its recruitment, admission or treatment of students. The College makes reasonableaccommodations to ensure that the academic program is accessible to the greatest extent possible by all students with disabilities. In particular, the College adheres to the provision of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. It is the policy of the College to make services available for any student who, through a recent assessment, can document a disability. Students, however, must meet all eligibility requirements to be admitted.

It is the responsibility of students with disabilities to see available assistance at the College and to make their needs known. The students must meet with the Director of Health and Wellness. All assistance/accommodation is coordinated through the Director of the Student Success Center. While Lake Erie College will provide reasonable accommodations, academic success is the student’s responsibility. For a full description, please see your college catalog.

d. Late Work: Students are expected to meet the deadlines. Late papers will only be accepted in case of extenuating circumstances. Student athletes will submit the papers in advance to avoid penalty. There will be five points deducted per day for the assignments submitted past the due date.

Dispositions ~ The pre-service candidate will

Understand and will be sensitive to differences among learners and how these differences influence reading;

Develop an understanding of the effect that culture, race, and socioeconomic status can have on the teaching of literacy skills.

Commitment to Diversity: Assignments and daily activities allow pre-service candidates to demonstrate their understanding through a variety of methods. There are multiple opportunities for collaborative group work; and hands-on activities that are intended to put theory into practice, making the content more concrete. Throughout the course pre-service candidates are encouraged to share their individual life experiences in relation to the course content. This helps to build a sense of community while respecting individual similarities and differences.

Commitment to Reflection: This course requires pre-service candidates to reflect upon student reading behaviors and how specific strategies may help a student's learning outcomes. A great amount of in-depth reflection is required through the implementation of a case study.

Field Experience and Student Teaching Requirements (if applicable):

CASE STUDY- At least two (2) hours per weekYou will be working with at least one student as a case study throughout the semester, ideally a student in Project MORE at Maple Elementary. The case study is a good opportunity for you to apply theory to practice in reading diagnosis and correction. You should plan to meet with this student for a weekly session lasting about 30-45 minutes. You must meet with the student a minimum of 10 sessions. You must receive permission from the student’s parent and teacher to conduct this case study.

Project MOREDuring this course you will participate in a school reading program at Maple Elementary. You will be working with struggling students in an effort to increase reading interest, comprehension and fluency.

Lake Erie College Education Division Assessment Data Collected in this Course: (restriction applies). This section applies only to courses in which assessments and data collection are required to meet requirements for ODE or national accreditation approval.

Course Expectations:

Attendance: Daily attendance is required. Be here and be on time. In the event of an excusable absence (sickness, death of immediate family, or other reasons approved by the administration/instructor), you must notify me at 440-375-7385 or email, [email protected], prior to the beginning of class to be excused. A student’s grade will be reduced one letter grade for every two (2) unexcused absences (2 unexcused = down one grade, 4 unexcused = down 2 grades, and so on). If you are late more than three (3) times, it will count as one (1) unexcused absence. As a courtesy to me and to your classmates, turn off all cell phones, pagers, etc. before class begins.

Academic Dishonesty, Plagiarism, and Cheating: The Division of Education adheres to Lake Erie College’s policies and procedures regarding academic honesty. Any act of academic dishonesty or cheating by a student seriously impugns the integrity of Lake Erie College and the student and will not be tolerated. Penalties for academic dishonesty will be imposed at the discretion of the individual faculty member. Any violation of academic standards may result in penalties up to and including expulsion. Any act of academic dishonesty, plagiarism, or cheating will result in the loss of points for that assignment. Any form of plagiarism may result in receiving zero (0) points for that assignment. Consult the Lake Erie College Student Success Planner for more details.

Disability Statement: Lake Erie College does not discriminate in its recruitment, admission or treatment of students. The College makes reasonable accommodations to ensure that the academic program is accessible to the greatest extent possible by all students with disabilities. In particular, the College adheres to the provision of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. It is the policy of the College to make services available for any student who, through a recent assessment, can document a disability. Students, however, must meet all eligibility requirements to be admitted.

39 | P a g e

Middle Childhood Licensure Program

It is the responsibility of students with disabilities to see available assistance at the College and to make their needs known. The students must meet with the Director of Health and Wellness. All assistance/accommodation is coordinated through the Director of the Student Success Center. While Lake Erie College will provide reasonable accommodations, academic success is the student’s responsibility. For a full description, please see your college catalog.

Late Work: Points will be subtracted for errors in spelling, grammar, and usage in written and oral communications. You will lose ½ a grade for late assignments for each day that it is late. If a student has questions about assignment grades, those concerns must be discussed personally with the instructor within one week of receiving the corrected work from the professor. No overdue work will be accepted after the last regularly scheduled class meeting.

Grading Scale:

Professional Dispositions: All teacher candidates are expected to demonstrate the professional dispositions adopted by the Lake Erie College Education Division.

Instructor’s Statement: The instructor may change this syllabus anytime. Students will be informed of these changes, but it is the responsibility of each student to be aware of these changes. **No retaking of a test or assignment based on dissatisfaction with an earned grade. It is important to do your best to earn the grade you want when the assignment is due.

COMMITMENT TO REFLECTION

Lake Eire College’s education division encourages students to reflect on all aspects of their preparation for the teaching profession. Through curriculum and instruction in the college classroom, as well as field experiences, clinical practice, assessments, and evaluations, candidates are required to reflect on their practice. Through classroom discussion and sharing of their reflections, candidates are able to refine and improve their classroom practices

47 | P a g e

Middle Childhood Licensure Program

Course ObjectivesKnowledge: The preservice candidate completing this course will be able to list and explain all areas of disabilities and exceptionalities. S/he will be able to discuss how such students are integrated into regular classrooms to be educated with their typically developing peers and when such integration is not the best alternative.

Skills: To be able to participate in the identification and assessment process in IDEA and 504 process.

Dispositions: It is absolutely critical that each preservice candidate completing EDC 330 have a committed belief that all students can learn and that students with disabilities are an important component of the public school classroom. It is part of the LEC Conceptual Framework and essential for this course.

LEC Unit Assessment Data Collection: None in this course.

Course ExpectationsAttendance: Daily attendance is required. In the event of an absence, please e-mail the instructor and make arrangements to make work up before class if at all possible. There will be several times when we will have guest speakers. There is not a way to make these up since we cannot ask them to come back so be in attendance on these days. A student's grade will be reduced one letter grade for more than three (3) missed classes. Meaning the 4th unexcused absence results in a dropped letter grade, the 6th, results in and additional letter grade dropped and anymore than that you will fail the course. If you are late more than three times it will count as a missed class. Be here and be on time.

Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty is a complete betrayal of the mission of Lake Erie College and the Education Department. In addition, it is a violation of the dispositions required by the department. Consequences as severe as dismissal from the college, a failing grade, and jeopardizing continuation of professional development in education may result.

Disabilities: Any LEC preservice candidate with an identified disability or impairment should contact the Success Center. Any and all modification required for success in this course will be honored.

Late Work: Work is due as assigned. Any late work may be accepted by contacting the instructor but there will be a 5% reduction per day. Papers more than a week late will not be accepted. A pattern of late work is not a fair option to the candidate or to the quality of discussion in class and will result in a reduced grade. Work should be turned in with your name on it, stapled, edited, and professionally presented. I will not accept papers that are not turned in this way.

Required Assignments: 1. Daily Participation and Attendance You will earn 3 points each of the 41 class periods that you are on time, there the whole time and participating. You will not get these points for the class period even if you were excused. You will not get these points just for physically being present. You must be there and be involved.

2. Weekly Tests Each week you will have a take-home test over the chapter. They are due every Monday over the corresponding chapter.

3. LEAD Program Hours We are extremely fortunate to have been selected as the site to host a new Lake County Education Program. The L.E.A.D (learn, experience, achieve, develop) at Lake Erie program offers therapeutic, prevocational and educational opportunities in a non-traditional setting for 9 th and 10th grade students. Your task is a follows:

By the end of the second week of class I hope that we will have had a “meet and greet” so that the students in the program can meet you, and you can get to know them. Afterwards you will be responsible for arranging an independent visit in which you participate in some way with what is going on in the classroom-this could be assisting the students with homework or research, assisting the teacher, leading a game or lesson, whatever you and the LEAD team determine. During this time you will hopefully get a feel for how you might assist in the program and have determined how you will fulfill your 10 required hours during the semester. Perhaps there is a particular student you would like to be paired with to mentor or if you have a particular strength in a content area and would like to teach a lesson (or more) then you have offered to do that with the approval of the LEAD teachers. Also at that time you must decide what day/time you are committed to and stick with it! Communicate with the LEAD staff if you have to miss a day. It is critical that you be there when you say you will be.

Complete your 10 hours (or more if you wish and we do encourage that) of volunteer service hours. These hours must be spread across the whole semester (i.e. one hour per week) Again, this can be through mentoring a particular student and helping them with research, homework, or even just hanging out and playing a game. This could also be through teaching lesson/s particular to your content area, or through some other activity that you and the LEAD teachers have worked out. The same rules apply here as they do for field in terms of appropriate dispositions (professional behavior, dress, and a strict adherence to confidentiality!)

Your grade for this assignment is based on three things: Completion of the hours, feedback from the LEAD teachers (We are looking for attendance, timeliness, professional behavior and dress and a willingness to be a positive part of these students’ program) and finally keeping and periodically turning in (along with your log of hours) a journal briefly talking about what you did while you were

49 | P a g e

Middle Childhood Licensure Program

there and what your reaction was to the experience. The final entry should be a one page typed summary of the overall experience. See Rubric for more information.

4. Reaction Papers: Reactions papers are 6, 1-2 page typed reflections on experiences such as a field trips, video, speakers, etc. These will always be due one week after the event so for example if the speaker came on a Friday then the paper is due the next Friday. This holds true even if we don’t have a class period in between due to a snow day or holiday. These should be reflections on what you thought about the event, how you would/could use the information as a teacher, what it made you think about. It should NOT be a summary of what happened. I know what happened. I was there! See Rubric for more information.

5. Chapter Presentation Each student is responsible for co-presenting the information on one chapter in a PowerPoint and engaging the class in some kind of learning activity concerning the material. Here are some ideas for your activity, but you can also come up with your own. Discussion questions, Bingo, crosswords, games, skits, matching quizzes, jeopardy PowerPoint, art project, centers, etc. Be creative! See Rubric for more information.

6. Co-Teaching of a Strategy You will pick a co-teaching partner who may or may not be from your licensure area. (Intervention Specialists may not be paired together!). If you are with someone from another grade band than yourself then you two must agree on a common grade level and content area. You will be able to choose a cognitive learning strategy and then the two of you will develop a short lesson plan to teach to the class. Your peers will be your students. Be creative, follow the rubric, and pay attention when we watch the videos and learn how to do this! See Rubric for more information.

7. Presentation on a Disability Topic You have the option of writing a paper, or doing some kind of presentation on a disability topic. This could be a PowerPoint, or some other kind of demonstration of your knowledge. No matter what style you choose you must turn in a reference page with at least three references other than your textbook on the subject. A sign up sheet will be provided for topics and dates to present. See Rubric for more information. Once you decide on your format you cannot change. i.e. don’t tell me you are doing a paper and then decide later you would rather do something in class instead. I will only schedule enough slots for those who sign up to do something in class. See Rubric for more information.

8. Final The final will be multiple choice and will be questions you have had on the weekly tests. 100 points.

Grading Procedure: Points Due1. Daily Participation & Attendance 41 classes x 3 points = 123 Points Each class2. Weekly Tests 10 Points x 15 chapters= 150 Points Every Monday3.

COMMITMENT TO REFLECTION

Lake Eire College’s education division encourages students to reflect on all aspects of their preparation for the teaching profession.. Through curriculum and instruction in the college classroom, as well as field experiences, clinical practice, assessments, and evaluations, candidates are required to reflect on their practice. Through classroom discussion and sharing of their reflections, candidates are able to refine and improve their classroom practices

FIELD EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

Observation requirements are 75-100 hours. The teacher candidate should begin his/her field experience with a minimum of 25 hours of observation. The next 50+ hours will focus on obtaining experience in the content area. A time log that is signed by the cooperating teacher is turned in at the end of the Seminar to document the observation hours.

The preservice/teacher candidate will teach a minimum of four lessons. Four lessons will be evaluated by the cooperating teacher. Two of the four lessons will be evaluated by the content specialist at Lake Erie College .These observations may be concurrent with both the campus supervisor and the cooperating teacher observing the same lessons. If this is not possible because of scheduling, the student will teach additional lessons.

Copies of all lesson plans and evaluations validated by the cooperating teacher must be turned in to the college supervisor. A copy of the lesson plan should be given to the college supervisor before the lesson is presented.

It is the responsibility of the preservice candidate to schedule these observations. When scheduling times an observation for your campus supervisor, check with your cooperating teacher first! Have a couple dates/times in mind and then ask your college supervisor if they work for him/her. You must inform the cooperating teacher, secretary and principal when your supervisor will be coming to the school. We do not want surprise visits and we do not want you to be gone on a field trip or have the teacher out that day, etc.

C. Key Assessments for any courses the candidate is taking/has taken that require a field experience to complete. This will vary from student to student.

In addition to clinical experiences, the preservice/teacher candidate is required to complete assignments which are a part of the seminar..

COURSE EXPECTATIONS

Attendance: Attendance is required for all students in all seminars. Attendance in school has been shown to have a direct impact on student learning. This is not only true in P-12 settings, but also at the college level. Each student is expected to maintain regular and punctual class attendance. Each student is responsible for obtaining class notes and is responsible for all material covered (even if absent). A student's grade will be reduced one letter grade based on the grading rubric on page 7. If you need to miss a scheduled field session in your assigned school you must inform both the cooperating teacher AND your college supervisor. The cooperating teacher and students depend you being there, especially when you are scheduled to teach so DO NOT MISS unless it is absolutely necessary. Then inform all parties.

Academic Dishonesty, Plagiarism, and Cheating: The Division of Education adheres to Lake Erie College’s policies and procedures regarding academic honesty. Any act of academic dishonesty or cheating by a student seriously impugns the integrity of Lake Erie College and the student and will not be tolerated. Penalties for academic dishonesty will be imposed at the discretion of the individual faculty member. Any violation of academic standards may result in penalties up to and including expulsion. Any act of academic dishonesty, plagiarism, or cheating will result in the loss of points for that assignment. Any form of plagiarism may result in receiving zero (0) points for that assignment. Consult the Lake Erie College Student Success Planner for more details.

Disability Statement: Lake Erie College does not discriminate in its recruitment, admission or treatment of students. The College makes reasonable accommodations to ensure that the academic program is accessible to the greatest extent possible by all students with disabilities. In particular, the College adheres to the provision of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. It is the policy of the College to make services available for any student who, through a recent assessment, can document a disability. Students, however, must meet all eligibility requirements to be admitted.

It is the responsibility of students with disabilities to see available assistance at the College and to make there needs known. The students must meet with the Director of Health and Wellness. All assistance/accommodation is coordinated through the

75 | P a g e

Middle Childhood Licensure Program

Director of the Student Success Center. While Lake Erie College will provide reasonable accommodations, academic success is the student’s responsibility. For a full description, please see your college catalog.

RUBRIC FOR ASSESSING WRITING

0 This assignment lacks a clear thesis, and the language is muddled and sometimes unclear. Errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar or usage are highly distracting.

1 Although this paper may have a recognizable and appropriate thesis, the assignment is poorly organized. The assignment is understandable, although the writing may be imprecise, trite or vague. Some sentences or passages may be so confusing that their meaning is not clear. Errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar or usage are distracting.

2 This assignment responds to the questions in an ordinary way. Although the assignment is basically well-organized, individual paragraphs may be weak or out of place. The assignment follows a logical plan and contains generally competent writing, although the language may at times be vague, imprecise or trite. Sentences may sometimes be awkwardly constructed, but their meaning will be clear. Errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar and usage are not highly distracting.

3 Although the assignment is generally well-organized, the paragraph structure may sometimes be disjointed. The assignment may have a few awkward passages and some errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar or usage, but these errors are not significant enough to distract the reader. The language at times may be too general; the paper lacks some of the insight in thought and/or precision in the writing of an “A” assignment.

4 This assignment is well-organized throughout, down to the individual paragraphs. Sentences are carefully crafted with virtually no errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar or usage. Words are accurately chosen; informal language, slang or dialect is used only when appropriate. The assignment is insightful and vivid. The writing is tight and effective throughout.

COMMITMENT TO REFLECTION

Lake Eire College’s education division encourages students to reflect on all aspects of their preparation for the teaching profession. Through curriculum and instruction in the college classroom, as well as field experiences, clinical practice, assessments, and evaluations, candidates are required to reflect on their practice. Through classroom discussion and sharing of their reflections, candidates are able to refine and improve their classroom practices.

FIELD EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

Teacher candidates must log 75 hours in the field. By midterm (October 5, 2011), 37-40 hours of observation must be completed. Candidates are asked to keep a personal log of their time in the classrooms. The log will be due at the last seminar. If you are in a split placement, the first time log is due when your new placement begins.

Teacher candidates are required to teach a minimum of six lessons, in the areas of math, reading, language arts, social studies, science, or the fine arts. The cooperating teacher will evaluate six lessons and the college supervisor will evaluate two lessons. The two lessons observed by the supervising teacher can be the same lessons the cooperating teaching is evaluating. Lesson plans must be submitted to the cooperating teacher at least 24 hours in advance of the lesson to allow time to make adjustments. Copies of all lesson plans and evaluations validated by the cooperating teacher must be turned in to the college supervisor at the next seminar following the lessons taught. When the college supervisor is observing a lesson, a copy of the lesson plan must be e-mailed to the college supervisor, or presented to the supervisor before the lesson is implemented. A hard copy with reflections must be turned in at the following seminar.

2. Education Department Sequence: This course does not require a prerequisite although it does require special permission by the Teacher Education Committee to take if the Education Department Interview has not been passed.

3. Required Textbooks: ODE Social Studies Content Standards, NCSS Content Standards

4. Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, students are expected to:

1. identify ways to plan and organize a social studies program2. develop global perspectives3. demonstrate the ability to plan and compose a social studies unit 4. plan and develop materials for an integrated unit of instruction. 5. demonstrate knowledge of ODE SS Content Standards 6. identify, locate, and exhibit knowledge of how to use materials, media, and technology

7. Commitment to Technology: The 8th theme in of NCSS is Science, Technology, and Society. “Social studies programs should include experiences that provide for the study of relationships among science, technology, and society. Science, and its application, technology, affects cultural change and people’s interaction with their world. Technological advances allow people around the world to be connected instantaneously beyond their immediate locations. Modern life as we know it would be impossible without technology and the science that supports it.”

Teacher candidates explore how technology selection facilitates and constrains the learning outcomes of the social studies content standards.

9. Field Experience and Student Teaching Requirements Application of principles and concepts learned in this course will be applied to field experiences as available.

10. Course Expectations

a. Attendance: The academic program at Lake Erie College operates on the assumption that learning is advanced by regular attendance. It is the responsibility of the student to arrange and make up work, at the convenience of the instructor. If you must miss a class, you must notify the professor through email. This absence will be considered excused if it is because of sickness, death of immediate family, or other reasons approved by the college administration. In most cases, graded work for that day may receive full credit.

b. Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty is a complete betrayal of the mission of Lake Erie College and will be taken seriously. We believe that a student who has been punished for three separate incidents of academic dishonesty should be expelled from the college. For a complete description of the policies and procedures, please read your college catalog.

c. Disability Statement: Any student having an identified disability must report to the Disabilities Coordinator; it is the student’s responsibility to make this contact and to supply the necessary documentation. As appropriate, special accommodations will be discussed with and arranged by the Disabilities Coordinator.Both the Student Success Center and the Math and Languages Tutorial Labs support students in all aspects of attaining academic excellence in coursework. Students are encouraged to use these services.

9. Lake Erie College Education Division Assessment Data Collected in this Course: (restriction applies). This section applies only to courses in which assessments and data collection are required to meet requirements for ODE or national accreditation approval.

10. Course Expectations:

Attendance: Attendance is required for all students in all classes. Attendance in school has been shown to have a direct impact on student learning. This is not only true in P-12 settings, but also at the college level. Each student is expected to maintain regular and punctual class attendance. Each student is responsible for obtaining class notes and is responsible for all material covered (even if absent). A student's grade will be reduced one letter grade for more than three (3) missed classes. Your attendance at every class is expected and required (and being here “in body” doesn’t necessarily mean you are “here”; active participation is a must, and sleeping, doing work/studying for other classes, instant messaging, clockwatching, personal grooming, and other inattentive behaviors are not welcome). As a courtesy to me and to your classmates, turn off all cell phones, pagers, etc. before class begins.

Texting/IMing/Surfing in class is unacceptable under any circumstances—if a situation arises that demands your attention you should not be in the classroom. Disruptive behavior will not be allowed. Every violation of this policy after first warning results in a recorded absence for the day.

Academic Dishonesty, Plagiarism, and Cheating: The Division of Education adheres to Lake Erie College’s policies and procedures regarding academic honesty. Any act of academic dishonesty or cheating by a student seriously impugns the integrity of Lake Erie College and the student and will not be tolerated. Penalties for academic dishonesty will be imposed at the discretion of the individual faculty member. Any violation of academic standards may result in penalties up to and including expulsion. Any act of academic dishonesty, plagiarism, or cheating will result in the loss of points for that assignment. Any form of plagiarism may result in receiving zero (0) points for that assignment.

All assistance/accommodation is coordinated through the Director of the Student Success Center. While Lake Erie College will provide reasonable accommodations, academic success is the student’s responsibility. For a full description, please see your college catalog.Late Work: Students are expected to meet the deadlines. Late papers will only be accepted in case of extenuating circumstances. Student athletes will submit the papers in advance to avoid penalty. There will be five points deducted per day for the assignments submitted past the due date.

B+ papers: Interesting argument that is generally well prepared, but could use a bit more development. Few mechanical errors and fairly good writing style.

B papers: Good argument that is solidly prepared. Argument could be better developed in some areas. Writing is solid, easy to follow, and interesting in the majority of the paper—these are papers that have significant and extended moments of insight, even though that is not sustained throughout the entire paper.

B- papers: Solid argument, but could be developed. Papers are interesting for the most part—these are papers that have a few moments of insight, yet that is not sustained throughout the entire paper. Few mechanical errors.

C+ papers: Solid papers, but the argument can be developed. These papers get the job done, but don’t push the questions raised by the text anywhere near as far as they could. Some mechanical errors and a writing style that needs development.

C papers: Average papers. These papers don’t engage with the text in a meaningful way, do not start or engage in an argument that is significant or as interesting as it could be. Evident mechanical errors and a writing style that needs developed.

C- papers: Slightly below average papers. These papers need significant development of argument, a better engagement with the text, and a much clearer sense of how and why this paper came to be. Obvious mechanical errors and a writing style that needs development.

D+ papers: Limited argument, minor engagement with the text, no clear sense of how and why this paper came to be. Very obvious mechanical errors and a writing style that needs development.

D papers: No argument. Severe mechanical errors and fragmented, illogical writing.

F papers: Incoherent writing, extraordinarily fragmented prose, and no sense of the assignment or ability to control an argument.

Professional Dispositions: All teacher candidates are expected to demonstrate the professional dispositions adopted by the Lake Erie College Education Division.

Instructor’s Statement: The instructor may change this syllabus anytime. Students will be informed of these changes, but it is the responsibility of each student to be aware of these changes.

Personal opinion (critique)

It is expected that all written work be completed in a professional manner; correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, paragraphing, use of professional vocabulary etc. Grades will be awarded based on content and professionalism. Also, pay heed to the following:

Attendance: Attendance is required for all students in all classes. Attendance in school has been shown to have a direct impact on student learning. This is not only true in P-12 settings, but also at the college level. Each student is expected to maintain regular and punctual class attendance. Each student is responsible for obtaining class notes and is responsible for all material covered (even if absent). A student's grade will be reduced one letter grade for more than three (3) missed classes. Your attendance at every class is expected and required (and being here “in body” doesn’t necessarily mean you are “here”; active participation is a must, and sleeping, doing work/studying for other classes, instant messaging, clockwatching, personal grooming, and other inattentive behaviors are not welcome). As a courtesy to me and to your classmates, turn off all cell phones, pagers, etc. before class begins.

Texting/IMing in class is unacceptable under any circumstances—if a situation arises that demands your attention you should not be in the classroom. Disruptive behavior will not be allowed. Every violation of this policy after first warning results in a recorded absence for the day.

Academic Dishonesty, Plagiarism, and Cheating: The Division of Education adheres to Lake Erie College’s policies and procedures regarding academic honesty. Any act of academic dishonesty or cheating by a student seriously impugns the integrity of Lake Erie College and the student and will not be tolerated. Penalties for academic dishonesty will be imposed at the discretion of the individual faculty member. Any violation of academic standards may result in penalties up to and including expulsion. Any act of academic dishonesty, plagiarism, or cheating will result in the loss of points for that assignment. Any form of plagiarism may result in receiving zero (0) points for that assignment. Consult the Lake Erie College Student Success Planner for more details.

Disability Statement: Lake Erie College does not discriminate in its recruitment, admission or treatment of students. The College makes reasonable accommodations to ensure that the academic program is accessible to the greatest extent possible by all students with disabilities. In particular, the College adheres to the provision of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. It is the policy of the College to make services available for any student who, through a recent assessment, can document a disability. Students, however, must meet all eligibility requirements to be admitted.

It is the responsibility of students with disabilities to see available assistance at the College and to make their needs known. The students must meet with the Director of Health and Wellness. All assistance/accommodation is coordinated through the Director of the Student Success

123

Middle Childhood Licensure Program

Center. While Lake Erie College will provide reasonable accommodations, academic success is the student’s responsibility. For a full description, please see your college catalog.

Late Work: Students are expected to meet the deadlines. Late papers will only be accepted in case of extenuating circumstances. Student athletes will submit the papers in advance to avoid penalty. There will be five points deducted per day for the assignments submitted past the due date.

Grading Scale:

Professional Dispositions: All teacher candidates are expected to demonstrate the professional dispositions adopted by the Lake Erie College Education Division.

Instructor’s Statement: The instructor may change this syllabus anytime. Students will be informed of these changes, but it is the responsibility of each student to be aware of these changes. Please contact me in case of any confusion, concern or question. My success lies in your success.

The pre service candidate will understand and will be sensitive to differences among learners and how these differences influence reading.

S/he will develop an understanding of the effect that culture, race, and socioeconomics can have on the teaching of literacy skills.

Course Expectations

Attendance: Daily attendance is required. In the event of an absence, please e-mail the instructor and make arrangements to make work up before class if at all possible. Be here and be on time. A student’s grade will be reduced one letter grade for more than three (3) unexcused absences. If you are late more than three (3) times, it will count as an unexcused absence.

As a courtesy to me and to your classmates, turn off all cell phones, pagers, etc. before class begins.

Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty is a complete betrayal of the mission of Lake Erie College and the Education Department. In addition, it is a violation of the dispositions required by the department. Consequences as severe as dismissal from the college, a failing grade, and jeopardizing continuation of professional development in education may result.

Disabilities: Any LEC pre service candidate with an identified disability or impairment should contact the Success Center. Any and all modification required for success in this course will be honored.

Late Work: Work is due as assigned. Any late work may be accepted by contacting the instructor but there will be a 5% reduction per day. Papers more than a week late will not be accepted. A pattern of late work is not a fair option to the candidate or to the quality of discussion in class and will result in a reduced grade. All work must be turned in with your name on it, stapled, edited and professionally prepared to be accepted.

Survey of MathematicsTentative Courses Schedule

A Teacher of mathematics has a great opportunity. If the teacher fills the allotted time with drilling students with routine operations, the teacher kills their interest, hampers their intellectual development, and misuses the opportunity. But if the teacher challenges the curiosity of the students by setting them problems proportionate to their knowledge, and helps them solve the problems with stimulating questions, the teacher may dive them a taste for and some meaning of independent thinking.

1. Course Description: Students will become familiar with instructional strategies and the appropriate use of technology in teaching mathematical concept. Emphasis will be place on the means of assessing the mathematical understanding of students through the use of real life problems. A wide variety of teaching techniques will be approached including; concrete/pictorial experiences, problem solving, cooperative learning, and computer/calculator technologies. The course discusses assessments or children’s mathematical understanding through: types of alternative assessment; state, national, and international reforms to change the focus of assessment; and the use of rubrics or scoring guides for assessing children’s work. While reviewing national and state standards, students will learn to teach mathematical concepts within a hands-on environment, with emphasis on discovery learning. Students will use the Ohio Competency-Based Models, Mathematics Academic Content Standards, to frame mathematics instruction, as well as appropriate use of the NCTM Principles for School Mathematics.

5. Links to the Conceptual Framework: To achieve the goals of the class, we will also follow the 2000 Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, which emphasizes: “Prospective teachers must be taught in a manner similar to how they are to teach – by exploring, conjecturing, communicating, reasoning, and so forth. … All teachers need an understanding of both historical development and current applications of mathematics. Furthermore, they should be familiar with the power of technology.”

Be able to select and direct activities that will accommodate the student’s capabilities to form, interpret, and apply mathematics.

Relate the mathematical concepts to the Benchmarks from the Ohio State Academic Content Standards.

To help accomplish this goal and prepare the student for mathematical methods this course will teach:

Toward logic and mathematical evidence – away from the teacher as the sole authority.

Toward mathematical reasoning – away from memorization. Toward conjecturing, inventing and problem solving – away from mechanics in answer

finding. Toward connecting mathematics, its ideas and applications – away from treating

mathematics as a body of isolated concepts and procedures. o Conceptual understanding will be accomplished through applications, real life

situations, essay answers as well as drill exercises. o Problem solving is designed to relate the lessons earlier taught with what will later

be applied. o Written assignments will aid the teacher in their mathematical communications.

6. Commitment to Diversity:

Be able to select and direct activities that will accommodate the student’s capabilities to form, interpret and apply mathematics.

Understand the student differences and needs in the classroom while desiring the most from all students.

Use their mathematics knowledge to approach individual learning styles and varied needs. Apply the mathematical content knowledge to make decisions in creating a productive learning

environment.

142

Middle Childhood Licensure Program

7. Commitment to Technology: Apply technology (calculators, computers, software, media, etc.) to develop major mathematical concepts and enhance problem-solving activities

8. Commitment to Reflection: The student will achieve a deep understanding of math methods and content throughout this course.

“For it is through the knowledge of the content to be taught that the teacher obtains a sense of what needs to be done and how to sequence the topics and ideas of the lesson for all learners.”

OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES and ACHIEVEMENTS IN EDUCATION

AYA Mathematics ProgramCoordinate the mathematics curriculum to align with Ohio Department of Education

Correlate the NCATE and NCTM standards with appropriate courses. Match the math program to the SPA’s need for ODE/Regents approval

Mathematics Success:AYA math majors received the Ohio Council of Teachers of Mathematics (OCTM) scholarship for the following years: 2009, 2010, and 2011.

Math advisor to AYA math students(and Science) Advise the math content courses

o Created Four-year plan for AYA math.o This included both math and education courses.

Work with students individually, to review for PRAXIS. This is on my own, not an assigned duty.

Work with Middle School math license pre-service students on completion of math requirements

o This involves creating independent study courses to enhance their content and fulfill the credit hour requirements.

Advised four-year schedule for AYA science license.Proposal for Math AYA accreditation

Aligned coursework and syllabi to meet the standards for the NCTM, National Council for Teachers of Mathematics.

Aligned curricula inclusive of all math courses to meet PRAXIS II standards. Aligned Mathematics coursework to meet licensure requirements in Ohio.

Courses created Added the courses, History of Mathematics and Discrete Mathematics to the math

curriculum. The courses were need for accreditation and strengthened the math program.

161

Middle Childhood Licensure Program

RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE DIVISION OF MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE

Instruct 12 semester hours Having appointments in both mathematics and education usually results in a course

overload. My course load averages 14 – 15 hours a semester, three courses in the math department

and one/two in the education department.As acting department head of mathematics my responsibilities include the following:

Interview and hire mathematics adjuncts, Oversee their courses, teaching methods, and intervene when necessary, and Counsel adjuncts about students, content, and/or grading.

My advising responsibilities include: Math majors, PSEO students, and Working with at-risk students.

Tutoring Students I am always available for my students as well as students in other math classes to answer

questions and help with their math. Many times I will have several students working outside my office so that they can ask

questions as they studyScheduling of math courses. Within this responsibility I

schedule all math courses for best use of classroom space and faculty. request room and order textbooks for adjuncts. wrote the syllabi for MT104 and MT107 so all adjuncts are following common course

expectations. coordinate the upper level courses with the science department and education department

so students have the minimal amount of course conflict.Placement of incoming freshmen

Improvement to math department:o From one MT210, Calculus, class of 14 students to three (3) calculus classes with a

total of 60 students, o From one MT109, Precalculus, class of 20 to four (4) Precalculus classes with a total

of 100 students. The number of MT104, Basic Algebra, classes has been reduced from 5 classes to 3. Keeping with the philosophy of Lake Erie and its mathematics department, the placement is

design to continue the academic growth of the student: stimulating his/hers interest and challenging their minds.

Placing a first year student in the mathematics course that is a continuation of what they have had will prohibit boredom; create good study habits and more likely a desire to continue learning at a higher level.

If the students are place correctly early, LEC will have fewer students in their junior and senior year requesting to take a specific math course required for admission into graduate school.

Academic Learning Center Mathematics Lab: Created the definition, requirements and responsibilities of the Academic Learning Center Mathematics Lab

During spring and summer of 2009, I researched Math Learning Centers and designed the program.

I consulted with Dr. Collis, Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Robinson.

162

Middle Childhood Licensure Program

Working with Mr. Kramer and the coordinators of the Academic Advising in making this Lab a success.

Recommending, hiring and overseeing the math tutors. Tutors will have bi-weekly meetings with Mr. Kramer and myself Students use the lab as a source for guidance with homework problems and class projects The MT104 class is attending weekly and MyMathLab computer program is integrated into

the course.Redesigned the requirements for the mathematics major:

We are now aligned in content with colleges of our size. This is an on going project and will be reviewed as the college grows.

The courses now offered allowed Lake Erie College to receive accreditation for AYA. There are two possible degrees: BA in Mathematics, for the Education major, and BS in

mathematics. Defined the requirements for a minor in mathematics New requirement of Senior Research in the student’s field of interest.

Created the four year schedule for math majorsEvery advisee receives a four year plan.

Students are able to complete their degree in four years, with minors in many areas Students are able to have double majors because they know what courses are offered

and when to take them. The math major courses have been on a two-year cycle and listed as such in the

catalogue o Student know when to take a specific courseo Creates larger class size.
