Proposals to Restructure Secondary Education Programs (PCC log nos. 09045 and

On May 19,2010, Chancellor Kirwan approved your proposals to restructure your Secondary
Education programs. On December 22,2011 (with a correction letter issued February 8, 2011), the
Maryland Higher Education Commission also approved these proposals. The approved changes are as
follows:
1. The bachelor degree program in Secondary Education (both B.A./B.S.) replaces the bachelor
degree program in Secondary Education-Mathematics, which has been discontinued.
2. The following bachelor degree programs have also been discontinued: Secondary
Education-English (Language Arts), Secondary Education-Foreign Languages, Secondary
Education-Social Studies, Secondary Education-Science.
3. The following Areas of Concentration have been established under the new Secondary
Education program: Secondary Education-English (Language Arts), Secondary Education­
Foreign Languages, Secondary Education-Mathematics, Secondary Education-Social
Studies, Secondary Education-Science.
These changes are effective Fall 2011. The College should ensure that the change is fully
described in the Undergraduate Catalog and in all relevant descriptive materials, and that all advisors are
informed.

Dear Dr. Farvardin:
The Maryland Higher Education Commission has reviewed a request from the University ofMaryland,
College Park to change the title of its Bachelor of Arts/Science (RAIB.S.) in Secondary Education programs,
convert four existing Education degree majors to Areas of Concentration (A.O.C.) and move them under the
Secondary Education degree. I am pleased to inform you that based on the recommendation of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Academic Affairs, Dr. George W. Reid, the request has been approved. This decision
was based on an analysis of the proposal in conjunction with the Maryland Higher Education Commission's
Policies and Procedures for Academic Program Proposals, the Maryland State Plan for Postsecondary
Education, and a thirty day review by the Maryland higher education community. The program demonstrates
potential for success, an essential factor in making this decision.

departme t intends to create a single Bachelor of Arts degree in Secondary Education by renaming the Bachelor of Arts in
Second
Education - Foreign Languages and changing it to a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education. Once the
Bachelor of Arts degree in Secondary Education is established, areas of specialization will be created for each of the
separate isciplinary tracks: Foreign Languages, English (Language Arts), and Social Studies. Internal major codes will
continue 0 be used to track the different specializations to meet state reporting demands.

Summa of Proposed Action:
All of the secondary education BA majors adhere to a common curriculum framework (see attached Secondary Education
Curricul m Framework); thus, it makes sense to consolidate the existing secondary education program options. The
departme t intends to create a single Bachelor of Arts degree in Secondary Education by renaming the Bachelor of Arts in
Second
Education - Foreign Languages and changing it to a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education. Once the
Bachelor f Arts degree in Secondary Education is established, areas of specialization will be created for each of the
separate isciplinary tracks: Foreign Languages, English (Language Arts), and Social Studies. Internal major codes will
continue 0 be used to track the different specializations to meet state reporting demands.
This pro osal seeks to add three areas of specialization (Foreign Languages, English (Language Arts), and Social
Studies) 0 the new, renamed Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education.

I. Rationale for the Program
This proposal is a component of a larger proposal to reorganize our Secondary Education majors
into one general Secondary Education major. The first part of the proposal is to change the name
of our Bachelor’s program in Secondary Education Mathematics to the more general title of
Secondary Education. Our goal with this larger proposal is to offer a general Secondary
Education Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Arts degree instead of the existing thematic Bachelor
degree programs that we now offer in Secondary Education-English-Language Arts; Foreign
Languages; Social Studies, Mathematics; and Science, all of which we propose to discontinue as
part of the larger proposal. The proposal presented in this document is to convert these existing
thematic degree areas into Areas of Concentration within the general Secondary Education
program. There will be no substantial changes to the curricula. This proposal is simply to
reorganize the current Secondary Education offerings under one program with Areas of
Concentration in English, Foreign Languages, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science. The
overall effect of this proposal will be to streamline and simplify the Secondary Education major
offerings for prospective students, an effort that we believe will contribute to the University of
Maryland goal of preparing future high school teachers for the State of Maryland.
II. Educational objectives of the Secondary Education degree
As is the case with the University’s current Secondary Education programs, the educational
objectives will be as follows:
The program in Secondary Education will lead to the Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of
Arts degree and will prepare teachers in various subject areas for teaching in middle schools and
secondary schools, grades 7-12. Along with the Secondary Education major, students must also
double-major in a separate content area. The Areas of Concentration within the Secondary
Education major will build pedagogical and professional teaching knowledge within the context
of the student’s content major.
III. Description of program as it would appear in the catalog
The Department of Curriculum and Instruction offers an undergraduate curriculum in Secondary
Education that leads to the Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree and prepares teachers
in various subject areas for teaching in middle schools and secondary schools, grades 7-12. All
Secondary Education majors are required to have an academic content major that satisfies the
requirements of the academic department and meets the standards of teacher certification.
Candidates who follow the proposed sequencing of courses can complete both majors in four
years with careful advisement and scheduling. Graduates of the Secondary Education program
meet the requirements for certification in Maryland and additional states that are affiliated with
the Interstate Reciprocity Agreement through the Maryland State Department of Education.

VI. Expected student learning outcomes
As is the case with the University’s current Secondary Education programs, the educational
objectives will be as follows:
1. Content knowledge: teacher candidates will have in-depth knowledge of the subject
matter that they teach as described in professional, state, and institutional standards. They will
demonstrate their knowledge through inquiry, critical analysis, and synthesis of subject.
2. Pedagogical and Professional Knowledge, Skills, and Dispositions: Teacher
candidates can effectively plan classroom-based instruction or activities for their roles as
teachers. Candidates’ knowledge, skills, and dispositions are applied effectively in practice.
3. Professional Dispositions: Teacher candidates are able to work with students,
families, and communities in ways that reflect the dispositions expected of professional educators
as delineated in professional, state, and institutional standards.
VII. Faculty resources
The program will be administered by the Department of Curriculum and Instruction in the same
manner that the current thematic secondary education programs are administered. There will be
no changes to faculty teaching in this program as a result of this change.
