Instructor’s Note: The use of tables and figures has been discouraged by our ATI consultants
because the text is difficult to access for those using assistive technologies. When at all possible
it is recommended that more accessible (and searchable) formats be used, such as lists like those
suggested in the sections below. If the use of a table is absolutely necessary, it must be labeled
and titled (see the Conceptual Framework table for example). In addition, if a table is used it is
recommended that the information also be provided in a searchable format elsewhere (e.g.,
Titanium), or also in the syllabus if length is not a concern.

Faculty model and encourage all candidates to reflect dispositions that represent the values and
attitudes expected of professionals in the field of education. These dispositions are based on the
Education Unit’s conceptual framework and encompass several behavioral indicators within the
three program outcomes. As candidates move through their programs it is expected they
demonstrate these dispositions. Please review the full list of dispositions found in the
Assessment and Accreditation section of the COE website.

email questions and online assignments (usually within 48 hours except weekends), how often

Academic Dishonesty Policy
Academic dishonesty includes such things cheating, inventing false information or citations,
plagiarism, and helping someone else commit an act of academic dishonesty. It usually involves
an attempt by a student to show a possession of a level of knowledge or skill which he/she in fact
does not possess. Cheating is defined as the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for
work by the use of any dishonest, deceptive, fraudulent, or unauthorized means. Plagiarism is
defined as the act of taking the work of another and offering it as one’s own without giving credit
to that source. An instructor who believes that an act of academic dishonesty has occurred (1) is
obligated to discuss the matter with the student(s) involved; (2) should possess reasonable
evidence such as documents or personal observation; and (3) may take whatever action (subject
to student appeal) he/she deems appropriate, ranging from an oral reprimand to an F in the
course. Additional information on this policy is available from University Policy Statement
300.021 found at the UPS section of the Academic Senate website.

Authentication of Student Work
[insert]
Instructor’s Note: Here is some suggested language but this will vary by course. Authentication
of student work is important in an online class. This is accomplished by requiring multiple
measures of student performance, including discussion board postings, individual email
conversations, the use of Turnitin, and the multiple assignments you are required to complete.
Additionally, because assignments are aligned to your teaching, they allow you to create
practical and unique resources for your personal use as a classroom teacher.
