CHANGE REQUEST FOR A CURRENT COURSE ONLY FOR SIMPLE CHANGES TO EXISTING COURSES Please list the course and title: _ED 205 TEACHING DIVERSE LEARNERS_ Does the course keep all existing BLUEprint categories: Yes _x___ No ______ Please drop this BLUEprint category: _____________________ (Additions need to go through the regular process for these.) Change in the level of a course number (i.e. 200-level to 100-level) Change course from __205___ to __305_____ Is there a change in the number of hours? If so, how? _no_________________________ Rationale: The Education department made ED 203 Multicultural Issues and Social Justice in Education a prerequisite for ED 205 Teaching Diverse Learners, therefore we believe this course should be a 300-level course. Some of the concepts covered in ED 205 Teaching Diverse Learners are a continuation and deeper dive of what is introduced in ED 203. Change in course description Old Description New Description Change in Course Title Old Title: New Title: Request to Cross List with Agreement from both departments Other changes impacted by this, such as listing for the major requirements, major itself, etc. As previously mentioned, this course now requires a prerequisite (ED 203). To alleviate any scheduling difficulties that may arise from this change, we are now offering ED 205 Teaching Diverse Learners in both Fall and Spring semesters. This will allow more flexibility in students’ schedules. I would also add that this course is not generally taken by non-education majors, so we are not changing something that functioned as a gen-ed course. 3/8/2022
