Proposal Summary
Explain the purpose for this proposal:
The purpose of this proposal is to update the credit hours, contact hours, description, content outline, writing expectations,
and instructor information to reflect the way it is taught. The contact hours surpass 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"]. In this 9 credit course, a student spends 40 hours per week for
16 weeks in the school setting. The expectations also consist of normal responsibilities of a classroom teacher that my occur
outside of regular class time, such as: attend meetings, grade papers, planning and preparation, etc. The student teaching
component is a minimum of 480 hours per semester, wit an additional 1 hour per week spent on out-of-class
responsibliities. This is reflected in the revised contact hours and content outline. When a post-undergraduate student, who
is not getting licensure with graduate coursework takes this course, it is for 4 credits and is basically half the time as 9
credits. For that reason, the credit hours are revised from a variable 4-9 credit to a 4 OR 9 credit course.
Explain how this proposal affects program requirements and students in your unit:
The ASL-English Interpreting Concentration (SPED ASEI) currently uses this course for their practicum experience. However,
they do not student teach. Consequently, ASEI is revising their program requirements to remove this course and add a
course that meets their own needs. There will be no other impact, as the revisions bring course information up to date to
reflect what is being done.
Explain how this proposal affects courses, program requirements and student in other units:
No impact.
Explain how this proposal affects enrollment and staffing:
No impact.
Units consulted (other departments, programs or campuses affected by the proposal):
None

Other Revisions: weekly contact hours, writing
expectations, textbook and instructor information.
This is already designated as an ELR course - the
system would not recognize this attribute (not
diversity).
