They are working on the diversity proficiencies and internal review process. The

a report on their diversity and proficiencies. In November they will work on how they
might realign the template and would like to run a second program if anyone is
interested in using their revised template. This would help in perfecting the template
which would make it easier form programs to report.

They discussed the multicultural and diversity scholarship recipients, their task and their
agreement with MSU. If you have any ideas of how a diversity scholarship recipient
can be meaningful in your program, or if you are interested in mentoring a student,
please let Dr. Willis know. As Diversity Fellow, Dr. Willis would like to know if any
faculty have suggestions on what forms of diversity/professional development they
would like to see on campus, please contact Steve Willis.

b. CBASE Proposal
The CBASE battery of tests will be replaced by a battery of tests known as MoGEA. It is the
purpose of this proposal to help students who are very close to fulfilling the CBASE
requirements. The following outlines an emergency approach to this transition and acceptance
to the Teacher Education Program:
PEC

1. There will be no exceptions made for qualifying GPAs.
2. All sections must be scores above 235.
a. Three sections passed with 265
b. 2 sections can be fulfilled with a replacement course
c. Content area section score must be 265 or student will be required to take the
MoGEA content section.
d. One Extended semester for 1 professional education course will be granted
while taking the replacement course.
3. The student must initiate the paperwork for these exceptions and must meet all of the
standards currently in place concerning a replacement course.
4. Replacement courses must be approved and taken and passed with a B- or better prior
to Fall 2014.
5. Students who do not meet above criteria by Fall 2014 must meet the complete MoGEA
test requirement. No additional extended semesters will be granted.
Faculty decided that the proposal should be taken back to their departments for
discussions, and then be presented at the November meeting for a vote. Also, if any
Faculty want to take the MoGEA at no cost, give their name to Dr. Sottile. They will
not get a score.
c. DESE Assessments
Will keep faculty informed of any new information from DESE.
d. Assessment – handout provided
Attachment B of the handout – Preparing for a Curricular Change. The ACT score is no
longer required. The Standards Based Performance Assessment is web based and will
be an initial part of the acceptance into Teacher Education. These are proposed changes
to the current catalog. These are all required DESE changes. Review them and take
them back to your departments for discussions.
