This takes a lot of time at the initial stages but saves time and effort in subsequent visits. The on-line access enabled the team to make a presentation to the whole College of Education at the end of their visit. The experience left the university with a deep sense of pride and achievement. A preliminary report was submitted the last week of November 2000, and a spring faculty retreat is in the planning. The previously scheduled visit was postponed to enable more efficient preparation time following the departure of Paul Beare.
Plans are underway to do partial electronic presentations.
MSUM will take what is relevant from those who have gone through the visits. Promote exemplary central leadership, a value to all involved. One such suggestion is that we create a matrix cross referencing the extent of alignment of the MnSCU TCTE Standards with the new NETS-T but do not create a new document. The issue of accountability by whom to whom should be central to whatever recommendation COPE makes on this topic. Program Review and Approval .
