University Policies: Academic Honesty: Every KSU candidate is responsible for upholding the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct, as published in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. Section II of the Student Code of Conduct addresses the University's policy on academic honesty, including provisions regarding plagiarism and cheating, unauthorized access to University materials, misrepresentation/falsification of University records or academic work, malicious removal, retention, or destruction of library materials, malicious/intentional misuse of computer facilities and/or services, and misuse of student identification cards. Incidents of alleged academic misconduct will be handled through the established procedures of the University Judiciary Program, which includes with an "informal resolution by a faculty member, resulting in a grade adjustment, or a formal hearing 4 procedure, which may subject a candidate to the Code of Conduct's minimum one semester suspension requirement. Disruptive Behavior: The University has a stringent policy and procedure for dealing with behavior with disrupts the learning environment. Consistent with the belief that your behavior can interrupt the learning of others, behavior that fits the University's definition of disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. (See Campus Policies and Procedures in KSU Graduate Catalog.) Human Relations: The University has formulated a policy on human relations, which is intended to provide a learning environment, which recognizes individual worth. That policy is found in the KSU Graduate Catalog. It is expected, in this class, that no Professional should need reminding but the policy is there for your consideration. The activities of this class will be conducted in both the spirit and the letter of that policy. The student is reminded to consult the KSU Graduate Catalog for the University's policy. Any strategy, which has the appearance of improving grades without increasing knowledge, will be dealt with in accordance with the University's policy on academic honesty. In addition, students in the graduate program in special education are held accountable by the Georgia Professional Code of Ethics for Educators (http://www.doe.k12.ga.us/informationresources/ethics.html) and the Council for Exceptional Children's (CEC) Code of Ethics for Educators of Persons with Exceptionalities (http://www.cec.sped.org/ps/code.htm#1).

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK “The Collaborative Development of Expertise in Teaching, Learning and Leadership” is the basis for all of Kennesaw State University’s teacher education programs. Working from a solid content background, the teacher as facilitator demonstrates proficient and flexible use of different ways of teaching to actively engage students in learning. Teachers as facilitators are well versed in the characteristics of students of different ages, abilities and cultural backgrounds. They are skilled in integrating technology into instruction and create an environment in which students can be successful and want to learn. Teachers as facilitators know when and how to assess learning by means of various forms of traditional and authentic assessments. They are well prepared for successful careers in teaching and are expected to act in a professional manner in all circumstances with colleagues, parents, community members and their own students. As a professional educator, the teacher facilitator values collaboration and seeks opportunities to work with other professionals and community members to improve the educational experiences for children and youth. This course contributes to the candidates’ understanding of their developing role as a professional facilitator by supporting their educational growth as they learn to effectively teach students. 5 Knowledge Base Teacher development is generally recognized as a continuum that includes four phases: preservice, induction, in-service, renewal (Odell, Huling, and Sweeny, 2000). Just as Sternberg (1996) believes that the concept of expertise is central to analyzing the teaching-learning process, the teacher education faculty at KSU believes that the concept of expertise is central to preparing effective classroom teachers and teacher leaders. Researchers describe how during the continuum phases, teachers progress from being Novices learning to survive in classrooms toward becoming Experts who have achieved elegance in their teaching. We, like Sternberg (1998), believe that expertise is not an end-state but a process of continued development. The knowledge base for methods of teaching students with disabilities continues to develop rapidly. The historical framework included perceptual training, behavior modification and task analysis. Current directions include multiple intelligence models, systematic instruction, strategy approaches to teaching and learning, and direct instruction. The field draws on research literature from educational psychology, medicine, psychology and special education. Collaborative Development of Expertise in Teaching and Learning The knowledge base for methods of teaching students who are English language learners continues to develop rapidly. Current directions include SIOP, differentiated instruction, and content-area learning strategy instruction. The field draws on research literature from foreign language, cultural responsiveness, psychology and ESOL. The emphasis in this class will be on developing skills in application of research-based best practices, documenting impact on student learning, and reflective practice. Technology Standards for Educators are required by the PSC Telecommunication and information technologies will be integrated throughout the master teacher preparation program, and all candidates must be able to use technology to improve student learning and meet Georgia Technology Standards for Educators. During the courses, candidates will be provided with opportunities to explore and use instructional media, especially microcomputers, to assist teaching. They will master use of productivity tools, such as multimedia facilities, local-net and Internet, and feel confident to design multimedia instructional materials, create WWW resources, and develop an electronic learning portfolio. Candidates in this course will be expected to apply the use of educational technology in classrooms for students in their classrooms. Specifically, candidates will use spreadsheet software to develop graphs, charts, and tables, word processing to write papers, and e-mail to communicate with the instructors and their peers. Candidates in this course will be expected to understand the use of educational technology in support of curriculum design and instructional planning. Technology emphasis will include word processing, spreadsheet, computer databases (library access programs, Galileo, internet and email), and technological presentations (PowerPoint). Websites: www.doe.k12.ga.us http://www.glc.k12.ga.us www.nichy.org KSU Student Email: As of Fall 2004, Kennesaw State University mandated that all official university communication would be delivered via the KSU student email system. Effective this semester (Fall 2005), all candidates seeking degrees from the Department of Special Education will be required to use their KSU student email accounts as the primary communication mode. Program updates, information from faculty, and other important university communication will be sent to your KSU student email account. You are expected to check this email at least several times a week, and to use this email account when sending email to departmental faculty. The KSU student email is a web based system that is accessible both on and off campus. To access your KSU Student Email: Go to http://students.kennesaw.edu/ Click Email Enter your KSU NetID (contained on your Student ID) Enter your password 6 Select a language If you experience problems with your KSU student email after initially activating your NetID and accessing your account please contact KSU Service at 770-423-6999. IX. Diversity Standards A variety of materials and instructional strategies will be employed to meet the needs of the different learning styles of diverse learners in class. Candidates will gain knowledge as well as an understanding of differentiated strategies and curricula for providing effective instruction and assessment within multicultural classrooms. One element of course work is raising candidate awareness of critical multicultural issues. A second element is to cause candidates to explore how multiple attributes of multicultural populations influence decisions in employing specific methods and materials for every student. Among these attributes are age, disability, ethnicity, family structure, gender, geographic region, giftedness, language, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. An emphasis on cognitive style differences provides a background for the consideration of cultural context. Kennesaw State University provides program accessibility and accommodations for persons defined as disabled under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. A number of services are available to support students with disabilities within their academic program. In order to make arrangements for special services, students must visit the Office of Disabled Student Support Services (ext. 6443) and develop an individual assistance plan. In some cases, certification of disability is required. Please be aware there are other support/mentor groups on the campus of Kennesaw State University that address each of the multicultural variables outlined above. X. Professional Portfolio Requirements A required element in each portfolio for the Graduate Program is the portfolio narrative. The purpose of the portfolio narrative is to ensure that every candidate reflects on each of the proficiencies on the CPI with regard to what evidence the candidate has selected for his/her portfolio. In your portfolio, you need to include a narrative, which includes descriptive, analytic and reflective writing in which you reflect on each of the proficiencies and how you make the case that the evidence you have selected in your portfolio supports a particular proficiency, using the Portfolio Narrative Rubric as a guide. The narrative should be comprehensive, documenting research-based best practices. Preceding each piece of evidence used to document your performance, you are required to provide an introductory narrative that follows the National Board Writing process that includes description, analysis and reflection. This introductory narrative should be a concise, comprehensive reflection documenting research-based best practices and indicating how your evidence supports the proficiency at a Level 3 or Level 4 on the Rubric for Evaluation of Introductory Narratives. Task 1: Match Assignments to Proficiencies As you near the completion of each course, you begin the Introductory Narrative Assignment by evaluating the course assignments to determine which ones best demonstrate that you have met individual proficiencies. Through that evaluative process, you will identify a minimum of 3 assignments in each course for which you will write introductory narratives using the Instructions for Writing Introductory Narratives for ePortfolio Evidence (available at http://www.kennesaw.edu/education/ined/resources/ined/portfolio/portfolio.htm. Task 2: Submit Assignment & Get Feedback from Professor You will submit your 3 introductory narratives to the course professor for review and feedback. Your professor will use the Rubric for Introductory Narratives to evaluate each introductory narrative and provide constructive feedback (available at http://www.kennesaw.edu/education/ined/resources/ined/portfolio/portfolio.htm. Task 3: Revise Based on Feedback 7 After you receive feedback on your individual course assignments AND you receive feedback on each introductory narrative, you will make revisions as necessary to produce the strongest possible pieces of evidence. Task 4: Upload final versions into Chalk and Wire (under the correct sections) Once you have made all final revisions to your course assignments and introductory narratives you will update your Evidence Tracking Form and upload the pieces of evidence into your Chalk and Wire ePortfolio. A copy of the Evidence Tracking Form is available at http://www.kennesaw.edu/education/ined/resources/ined/portfolio/portfolio.htm. Given that you may not receive feedback from your professor on some assignments until the very end of the course, you should plan some time immediately following the course to make your final revisions and upload the final versions into Chalk and Wire as soon as possible. Extensions: Candidates should keep ongoing documentation of ways in which they extended their learning and skills from this and other courses. For this course, this could include extending your skills in curriculum mapping beyond this course to other content and/or grade level areas, particularly as the new Georgia Performance Standards roll out over the next two years. Impact on Student Learning Analysis: It is our assumption that you are already assessing the influence of your instruction on your students’ learning and that you are considering what factors, such as student diversity, might affect your students’ achievement. For this assignment, you will select a lesson, activity, unit, or skill that you plan to teach this semester and analyze its impact on your students’ learning. Then, you will reflect on the impact on your students’ learning on that particular lesson, activity, unit, or skill using the “Impact on Student Learning Analysis” Rubric as a guide. Writing Assistance on KSU Campus Quality of Writing: It is expected that all candidate work will include full sentences, paragraphs of appropriate length, and formal English grammar conventions. To facilitate completion of quality work, candidates will do the following: Change the setting on their computer(s) so that Word recognizes formal rather than standard (colloquial) English. See Vista homepage for details. Determine the reason for green or red wavy lines under text in Word documents and make applicable corrections prior to handing in work. Read all documents with a critical eye to ensure that grammar conventions are followed. Use APA (5th ed.) format for all coursework. If multiple drafts are permitted or expected in a course, candidates will incorporate corrections and information from instructor comments into all revised work. There are two writing resources available on campus: The KSU Writing Center is a free service offered to all KSU students. Experienced, friendly writing assistants work with you throughout the writing process on concerns such as topic development, revision, research, documentation, grammar, and mechanics. Rather than edit your paper for you, writing assistants will help you learn strategies to become a better writer on your own. For more information or to make an appointment (appointments are strongly encouraged), visit http://www.kennesaw.edu/english/WritingCenter, or stop by Room 242 in the English Building. For non-native speakers of English, there is also the ESL Study and Tutorial Center which is part of University College/Department of University Studies. The Center is a free service that provides tutoring in writing, reading, and pronunciation. Hours are Monday-Thursday 9:00-5:00 pm in Library Room 442. XI.
