Administrative Updates
a. Unit Update – Chris Craig, Head of the PEU
Met with Design and Construction and the Testing Center will be in place by August 2015.
MCED/MABEP Update – David Hough, Dean of COE
If anyone has ideas they want discussed, let Dr. Hough know. On November 18 when MABEP
meets again they will be taking a position on MoPTA. The way it stands now it cannot work.
DESE is taking two steps back since statewide too many districts do not want their students
video tapped. TASK 4 (video) is totally up in the air. MABEP has been asked to make a
recommendation on what to do to the State Board of Education. Dr. Hough’s suggestion is to
work with school districts to have building principals and classroom teachers do the evaluations
for the student teaching experience. Not eliminating the student teacher supervisors, but give
them a different roll. A discussion ensued on this matter.
b. Assessment Update – James Sottile, Associate Dean of COE
i.
Removal of the MEP2 to reduce as many assessments as possible since it is no longer
required by the state. A motion made and seconded to remove the MEP2 as a
requirement. Motion carried.
ii.
CAEP Conference – There are two reports. The first one deals with number of students
and the other is listing all students, GPA and area. It goes into a national database and
then it is correlated. There is a now a new report which is an assessment report of our
assessment.
iii.
Videotaping is becoming acceptable nationwide.
iv.
TK20 and Taskstream – The majority of your feedback is going to the assessment
committee on Oct 16, and then a recommendation will go to Dr. Hough.
