55.1 Review of Minutes
Faculty reviewed minutes of February 10. Ms. Wheat reported that the last sentence in 48.2 relating to action on the Praxis Policy was moved to item number 58.4 on today’s agenda and would be tabled until the April 13 meeting.
56.0 New Business
56.1 Discussion of Advising Issues (March 19-23, Junior/Senior and March 26-30,
Sophomore)

Dr. Hedgepath discussed upcoming advising and presented the faculty with a list of CAP 2 Candidates that cannot take any further ED courses. See attached list for names. She pointed out that advisors need to have the candidate’s binder with them during advising. Dr. Hedgepath further discussed the recent change approved by the Curriculum Committee for ED 411. It has been renamed ED 414, P-9
Classroom Management. Both P-5 and 5-9 candidates will enroll in this course. Gwen Sampson has revised the curriculum guidesheet to reflect the change and advisors need to have a copy of the revised form during advising. Discussion ensued on the critical need in advising to make sure candidates take
ED 390 before ED 416 and ED 311 before ED 414. Candidates taking these two courses in the same semester produce units that do not reflect quality work (units) that is portfolio-ready. This is an issue that needs critical attention in the advising process.
56.2 Status of Program Submission Rejoinders
Dr. Hedgepath gave the faculty the good news that one portion of the NCATE process has meet EPSB approval. We received a letter stating that the 23 programs met EPSB requirements. Dr. Hedgepath stated these could be found on the F drive under All Users.
56.3 Review of Recent “Paired Clinical Model Pilot” Activities
Mrs. Davis updated the faculty on the Paired Clinical Model Pilot . She stated that the implementation plan is on target. She reported that the meeting with the two LEA administrators had been held and the district representatives were very supportive of the pilot. Further, she reported that the LEA representatives suggested that a meeting with teachers from the two districts would be important to gain buy-in . A meeting with teachers from the two respective districts, Taylor County and
Campbellsville Independent, has been scheduled for April 11. Names have been submitted from the
LEAs to Dr. Priddy and Mrs. Davis. The NCATE Standard 3 committee will be meeting March 27 to discuss the presentation to be presented to the district’s teachers. Mrs. Davis also discussed that the
Standard 3 committee members were discussing different options for CU pre-service teachers such as
(1) having a block of time open until 11:00 a.m. on the days of the ED 414 and 416 class, (2) the ED classes might meet in one or both of the district’s buildings for a portion of the class time, (3) the ED courses might meet for one class period and the students meet in the schools for the second class period (i.e., meet for class on Tuesday and in the district on Thursday). Mrs. Davis further stated that the Paired Clinical Model would not be for every student teacher; we would still have the traditional student teacher placements.
Dr. Walker stated that she had a concern about the increase in field hours needing to be meaningful.
Mrs. Ford stated that this had been discussed by the committee and it will most likely be discussed further at the May Retreat.
56.4 Review of Priority Areas for Program Improvement
Faculty reviewed the Program Improvement Plan. Ms. Wheat commented that Dr. Schumacher and
Sally Williams were already working on the Praxis Study Plan for each of the Praxis II exams that the students will take for licensure. Dr. Schumacher stated that the work was going well and would most likely be completed in April ready for Dr. Priddy to review. Ms. Wheat related that the worksheets would probably be presented at the August faculty meeting.
56.5 Discussion of Recruitment and Retention Strategies as Presented in 2012-2017
Strategic Plan

Faculty reviewed the 2012-2017 Strategic Plan. Ms. Wheat pointed out items in the plan that Dr.
Priddy wanted the faculty to notice. Ms. Wheat stated that this was still a draft plan. There was discussion about the ED 102 course being an online course. Dr. Walker stated that she had concerns that the students taking that course may not be mature enough for an online class. She further stated that she felt the students needed more guidance and a more personal relationship with the instructor than what could be offered through an online course. Dr. Hedgepath commented that online courses were probably needed but perhaps the need was for upper level courses. Ms. Wheat continued to point out different information within the plan including the Recruitment and Retention Strategies that had been added. She further explained that each department on campus was being asked by the
Administration to have a recruitment and retention plan.
56.6 Decision on Pennebaker Award Recipients
The following students were selected by the faculty to be recipients of the Pennebaker Award:
Denise Spencer, IECE
Rebekah Murphy, P-5

Milby as the recipient.
