NEW BUSINESS:
 Great Plains Interactive Distant Education Alliance (GPIDEA) project update
 Jan Bowers
 Great Plains is a group of five institutions [Texas Tech Univ, Univ of Nebraska-Lincoln, N. Dakota
State Univ, S. Dakota State Univ, and CWU] that offer a bank of courses, but do not offer degrees.
 The student applies through their home institution to take courses from the bank that will work
towards a degree at their home institution, or towards teacher certification. Courses are available
through the bank that CWU has accepted as equivalent and will show up on the students’ transcript
as a CWU credit course.
 Jan and Karen have worked to put together a course for the Great Plains that met the criteria of the
five institutions, and they feel we are stronger because we have that ability to network and
collaborate with other institutions.
 Other departments have been asked to teach courses that are not part of the Family & Consumer
Science course work.
 The students are expected to log hours regardless of this being a “Program” or not
 Students are asked what state do they want to be certified under, and they will complete all
requirements for that state.
 What should Jan do next:
 Identify what states are TPA states
 Ensure that fingerprinting is done through the ESD’s so that it can be looked up on the OSPI
database.
 Update information to reflect that the logging of 450 hours has to be in student teaching; other
types of field experience does not count
 Family & Consumer Sciences is requesting permission to allow the 8 students that have applied,
be allowed in with the understanding that they can take Great Plains courses that are on the
matrix if it works with the program. The Advisory Council voted and approved with 9-yes and 2abstained.
 Placement Coordinator job description (Gary Ballou)
 Handout was provided and reviewed in regards to a Teacher Education Placement Coordinator
 This is information only
 The Advisory Council recommends that Dean Lambert look over the job description and see
financially if this is something that can be done.
 Gary will schedule a meeting with Dean Lambert to review with her the job description and ask for
concerns.
 Lesson plan template format (PEAB Recommendation)
 Group sharing
 This will be discussed at the next regularly scheduled meeting
OLD BUSINESS:
 CTL-Advisory Council membership
 At the CTL Executive Board meeting on October 28th, the Board determined that the CTL Advisory
Council include department chairs of TEACH and EF&C. These members are able to provide a broader
view.
 The CTL Policy will be edited to reflect the change.
 CTL edTPA Visual design Ad-Hoc committee (Ginni)
 This committee has not had an opportunity to meet and will report back to the Advisory Council at a
later date.
 Removal of CTL Policy regarding certification (Ginni)
 Approved by the CTL-Executive Board
 edTPA remediation (Connie)
 This will be a topic this year, as far as how we plan to remediate. We will need to come up with a plan
on how we think students should be remediated.
 Do the students come to the CARR committee, and the CARR committee makes a plan even though
they only have two weeks left in the quarter?
 Or is that if they fail it twice, they’re out of a placement at that point?
 Or they’re choosing not to resubmit before the end of the quarter?
 Deal with more remediation after the November 14th PESB meeting
 Monday Night Events (Ginni)
 The next Monday Night Educational Seminar will be held on:
 October 28th; Lesson plan Template and Logging your hours
 NO REPORT
 What requirements does the program need to meet, in order to be defined as a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor
of Science, and Bachelor of Arts in Ed?
 Connie to report on “ed” with degrees
 Requires Professional Core courses
 The only programs that are listed in the Academic Affair policies are early childhood, which was
removed, Elementary and SpEd. Of those, the only two that are still under the BAed are
Elementary and SpEd.
 We are trying to get the BAed in Humanities either listed under that BAed category or we’re
going to have to change the BAed in Humanitites to a BA in Humanitites.
 Connie will report what she gets back from Eric Chaney, Faculty Senate Chair.
o Currently it says that the bachelor of arts and education is used for three programs (early
childhood, elementary, an SpEd) take out the number three and the three program names
