The Center publishes a newsletter, collects and disseminates teaching support materials, and provides faculty release time grants. Faculty who have received low ratings on the student evaluations of instruction may be assigned to the Center to help them improve. Professional education programs are supported by adequate administrative and support staff. Currently, the COE has 10 clerical support positions and 5 technical support staff, including the Directors of the Computer Lab, Curriculum Laboratory, and the Methods Laboratory. Additional administrative and clerical support exists for those portions of the professional education program housed in other colleges and schools, for example, clerical support is provided for the Early Childhood Program through the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences.
Financial resources are available to support student scholarship.
Graduate assistantships at the master's level are available through the Graduate School and through externally funded research and demonstration projects. The COE supports from six to eight doctoral assistantships each year. Travel funds for student presentations are available through externally funded projects. Supplementary staff are available through the University Library, Computer Center, and Media Center. The College of Education has sufficient facilities, equipment and budgetary resources to fulfill its mission and offer quality programs.
