Dr. O’Farrell also shared how field will be exploring collaboration possibilities with UNF, OneJax, and the Aspen Institute

they are responsible for in the classroom. Dr. Mary Rose, through the Center for Urban Education and Policy, will shortly
be sending information to faculty regarding this initiative. More to come.
As part of the beginning teacher program in Duval county, all new teachers are required to do a web based portfolio. Dr.
O’Farrell shared that COEHS’ web based portfolios have provided COEHS students an opportunity to be ahead of the
curve as beginning teachers.
Dr. Kemppainen shared with the CLT that after his recent discussion with Pat Hanford, a paragraph informing new
graduate students of COEHS fellowships, with web page link and directions, will be included in the new student letter
that will be sent out by the advising office. This is in conjunction to the agenda topic discussed at the July 31 CLT
meeting.
Dr. Kemppainen commented that advising denied 130+ applications at the end of July because they were missing the
general knowledge test. Applications were denied after several attempts to inform the student to take the gk test.
Discussion of Clinical and Field Experiences – Jeff Cornett and Rick Chant
The CLT reviewed the Clinical Supervision Flow Chart distributed by Jeff Cornett and the Restructuring Field Experiences
proposed outline distributed by Rick Chant. This discussion will be revisited next meeting, August 28, 2013.
Steps between now and the next CLT meeting - Continue these conversations with faculty. Dr. Daniel will generate an
additional list of questions to send out to the CLT members that are at today’s CLT meeting. Dr. Daniel will have
individual conversations with several CLT members to have some clarity and make sure everyone’s on the same page.
