Indianopolis,IN:Hackett Publishing Page 1 of 30 Course Description “ Built on the premise that erudition should be an extension of the search for self-knowledge, this course is designed to enable participants to articulate an empowering inner mission that will guide and sustain them through the doctoral journey. This mission is derived from increased knowledge of oneself and a deepened connection with salient purposes for living and working. Educators are seen as persons in search of meaning who can choose to lead for intrinsic, altruistic, or personal reasons. . Professional Education Unit Conceptual Framework The Conceptual Framework in the Professional Education Unit (PEU) at Florida A&M University is an integrated approach to providing educational experiences that result in exemplary professional educators. The Framework is comprised of six themes with the mission of developing high quality classroom teachers, administrators and support personnel. The term “exemplary” refers to the kind of graduates the PEU strives to produce. The figure below provides a diagram of the Exemplary Professional Conceptual Framework Theme 1 Diversity Theme 6 Urban/ Rural Education Theme 2 Technology The Exemplary Profession Theme 3 Values Theme 5 Professionalism Theme 4 Critical Thinking Page 2 of 30 Specific Behavioral Objectives The student will be able to : 1. Develop a cognitive self-portrait by determining preferred learning modalities, areas of academic strength and challenge and devise prescriptive incentives for optimal learning 2. Be able to list the steps toward completion and the components of a doctoral dissertation 3. Engage in values clarification that will assist in the design of the individual’s doctoral program and locate the extent of one’s commitment to change. 4. Demonstrate an understanding of the role expectations of the Academy and an appreciation for the mission of the public intellectual. 5. Critique articles and other text materials and engage in spirited class discussion 6. Engage in praxis – action with reflection- and articulate how it intersects with critical theory and the constructivist paradigm 7. Set writing goals and meet them minimally with a plan indicated in a personal journal 8. Hone in on a dissertation topic “ballpark” area and produce an annotated bibliography and supportive essay that makes an argument for the topic as research worthy. 9. Identify strategies that aid persistence and address areas of academic challenge 10. Learn and utilize rules of argumentation in written work and in the critique of others’ publications. 11. Demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively during oral and written presentations. 12. Demonstrate the ability to master various technologies while completing assignments and presentations. Overall Goals of the Course The doctoral program at FAMU encourages the development of transformational leaders. Candidates are thus challenged to explore themselves deeply to search for a more authentic self. The course focuses on examining one’s self and image in the context of changing priorities and commitments (i.e. the doctoral program!) The animation of a cohort learning community is intended to set free a new professional vitality. This work will culminate in the narrowing of the research focus to specific individual themes. Readings and activities introduce the student to the broad terrain of research possibilities. Pivotal concepts include identity construction, commitment, praxis, critical pedagogy, economic and social justice, rules of argument, and transformational leadership. Students will emerge from the course with an understanding of the doctoral journey, how a dissertation is constructed, and a perfunctory review of possible thematic/topical areas for dissertation research.. Consistent with the programmatic thrust for libratory servant leadership, students will articulate a vision of hope and promise for social justice in the twenty-first century.

Page 26 of 30 APPENDIX Cohort Affirmation Skit At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water, comes steam. And with steam, you can power a train. One extra degree can make all the difference! This activity is designed to encourage outreach among cohort members and challenges your sense of humor. Essentially it is a fun (?) opportunity to design a ten to fifteen minute skit that profiles each cohort member in terms of interests and skills showcases the cohort’s motto, theme song and step routine Feel free to use props and costumes. You will be required to submit 2 videotaped CD or DVDs of your performance. This is not designed to be burdensome; keep it light and fun! In order to get it videotaped, you will have to become acquainted with the workings of the Library Media Center. Of course you will have to decide on your motto for success in the program, come up with a theme song and use your skills to further the tradition of African American fraternal organizations’ “step”. Guidelines Each cohort member should be featured, introduced and participate in the stepping. ☺ The cohort should collaborate on the selection of the motto and theme song All should address how they reacted to the process in journal entries.

The rationale for these suggestions is that conservative attire is appropriate for most environments including presentations, symposium, forum and job interviews. The following proposed guidelines will identify what is expected for “professional attire”. SUITS Conservative cut; solid, pinstripe or pin-check. Choice of colors: NAVY. GRAY CHARCOAL, DARK BROWN, or BLACK. No pastel colors. Men should avoid wearing solid black suits (reserve for semi-formal occasions). Skirts should be straight or pleated; easy to sit in, loose fitting; no high slits or side openings; not more than 3 inches above the knee. NO PRINTS. Skirt must match suit jacket. Females cannot wear pants. However, a pants suit with a long matching jacket is okay. All jacket must cover hips and long sleeved). JACKETS MUST BE WORN TO SYMPOSIUM/FORUM. NO BLAZER/SKIRT, BLAZER/PANT, BLAZER/DRESS COMBINATIONS. NO DRESSES. NOTE: Navy and gray are "power" colors and the most appropriate for forum, presentations and interviews. SHIRTS Long-sleeve cotton or broadcloth: solid or conservatively striped. Choice of colors: white, ivy, beige or pale blue. BLOUSES Solid colors, white and pastel; silk and cotton; (NO PRINTS). Accent with multicolor scarves. TIES Medium width ties--three inches, silk if possible; colors muted and in contrast to the suit. Designs need not be limited to neat striped patterns or small dots. Paisley and floral patterns are acceptable, but should be muted. Pocket handkerchiefs never match ties. Ties should always cover belt buckles. BELTS Same color of shoes. No belts out-side of suits. HOSE WOMEN: Natural, taupe, off-black, navy blue, gray. No knee-highs. (Note: All hose should be sheer enough to see the natural skin tone.) SOCKS MEN: Over the calf length in: black, charcoal gray, navy or brown. Socks should always cover calves. Page 29 of 30 SHOES Shoes must be cleaned and shined.

Women: No more than five pieces of jewelry should be shown. One ring per hand; a watch or bracelets that do not dangle or detract. One string necklace or chain. Women may wear one pair small stud earrings. (no gypsy hoops). Men: No more that three pieces of jewelry should be should. MEN CANNOT WEAR EARRINGS. Chains or necklace can not be shown. One ring per hand and a watch or bracelet. HAIR Men avoid jheri curls, processed looks, and sculptured looks. Maintain a neat, well-groomed haircut.. If your hair is locked, wear them away from face and clean. Women avoid sculptured looks. Avoid formal or after-five looks. Wear hair simple and away from face. MAKE-UP Women: Make-up should look natural. Avoid formal or after-five looks. Use neutral colors for eye-shadows (no blues, green, white, etc.). Lipsticks worn should also be settle.
