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

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.

COURSE POLICIES
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: Refer the Candidate Disposition Assessment Form in Appendices.
Online PARTICIPATION: Online participation usually enhances learning for all, especially for those who
participate. In order to demonstrate active participate, students must participate in virtual classroom discussions and
complete assigned homework, readings and activities.
ATTENDANCE/ABSENCES/TARDINESS: Regular attendance (including virtual meetings) for the full class
period is imperative to pass this course. Specific Virtual classroom discussion dates will be determined. Students must
sign-on at each time - on time. For meetings more than once a week, 10 points are deducted for each absence. Two
absences are excused before points are deducted. Five points will be deducted for each tardiness or early departure from
class up to ten minutes. Those who arrive to class after 20 minutes, or those who leave 10 minutes before class is
dismissed will be noted as absent.
•
For meeting once a week, 20 points are deducted for each absence. One absence is excused before points are
deducted. Five points will be deducted for each tardy or early class departure up to 10 minutes; ten points for up
to nineteen minutes and for those who arrive after or leave the class before 20 minutes ends of each class will be
marked as absent and deducted 20 points.
DISPOSITIONS: As a component of student assessment, the College of Education has instituted a system for
monitoring the professional dispositions: Professionalism, Effective Communication, Respectful Behavior, Ethical
Behavior, and Reflective Behavior. At the end of each semester each instructor will fill out an assessment instrument for
each student which will be turned in to the department chair and kept in the student’s file. If a problem arises during the
semester, a disposition feedback form may be completed by an instructor or school personnel and turned in to the
student’s department chair. The severity of the behavioral deficiency will influence the chairperson’s handling of the
situation. (See Assessment Instrument for Dispositions and Disposition Feedback Form for more detailed information.
This policy includes provisions for professional dress, attendance, punctuality, use of cell phones, etc.)
INCOMPLETE GRADES: An "I" grade cannot be assigned in lieu of earning grades of "D" and "F". Missing
exams (including the final) does not justify an "I" grade. An "I" may be assigned to those
students who, due to unusual circumstances, failed to complete the course requirements. Qualifications for such a grade
must include a course standing of grade “C” or better.
EXAMINATIONS: Make-up examinations will not be administered under any circumstances. If a "take-home"
examination is given, the examination must be completed and submitted on the prescribed date and time. However, early
submission of take-home exams will be permitted.
TASK-STREAMER E-PORTFOLIO: All Teacher Education Majors must upload at least 3 artifacts in the Task-Streamer
E-Portfolio. If you already have LiveText do not purchase Task Streamer. Transfer of documents will be necessary. The cost

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.

Proposed GUIDELINES FOR PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE
Students are expected to dress in "PROFESSIONAL attire” during certain components of this course. 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.

SHOES
Shoes must be cleaned and shined. Avoid wearing shoes with torn or over-worn hills.

open toe, open backs, sling, or multi-color trim shoes.
MEN: Leather tassel loafer, wing tip or cap toe, lace-up; in dark brown, black, or cordovan.
JEWELRY
Should be minimal. Avoid flashy or eye catching jewelry. No facial jewelry such as nose rings,
tongue ring or other facial piercing. Both men and women should avoid wearing front gold-teeth.
Cover tattoos.
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.
Men: No make-up is necessary. However, a transparent face powder may be applied to avoid a
shinny appearance.
NAILS
Women: Wear natural length nails with a neutral color nail polish. No jewelry or designs on
nails.
Men: Wear nails short and manicured. Clear polish is okay.
MUSTACHE

Now to make the outfit a complete success you should be aware in the way you walk, sit or
