Proposal Summary
Explain the purpose for this proposal:
The main purpose of this proposal is to reactivate this course. It currently exists at the 50,000 level so this will be slashed
with that course. Although revisions are being made to the original title, credit hours, prerequisites, catalog description,
content outline, and writing expectations the course is basically the same. If a student previously took it, it would be
equivalent to this revised version. Presently, SPED 43981 is required for ASEI students; however, 43981 is a student
teaching course which is not the practicum experience needed for ASEI. Therefore, this course is being reactivated to meet
their specific needs. BSE SPED ASEI students are required to take this course for 9 credits; therefore, the credit hours are
being revised from 1-3 to 1-9. The contact hours conform to the revised University guidelines ["One credit hour is awarded
for a minimum three clock hours (180 minutes) in a standard week of a 15-week semester, or for a minimum 45 clock
hours (2,700 minutes) in a semester"]. The title is changed to reflect that of the slashed graduate course, which went
through curricular revisions after 43192 had been previously inactivated - from "Practicum in Educational Interpreting" to
"Practicum: Interpreting Process" which more accurately describes the instructional focus.
Explain how this proposal affects program requirements and students in your unit:
This will replace SPED 43981 Student Teaching in Special Education as a required course. SPED 53192 is also being updated
and a program revision is being submitted to reflect this change.
Explain how this proposal affects courses, program requirements and student in other units:
No impact
Explain how this proposal affects enrollment and staffing:
this should be addressed, as it may impact enrollment in 43981
Units consulted (other departments, programs or campuses affected by the proposal):
None

This should be designated as an ELR course - the
system would not recognize this attribute (not
diversity). Other Revisions: writing expectations
