Dr. Decker suggested placing a paid ad in the newspaper. Members of the Teacher Education Council are expected to be at the public forum. Mary Hitchcock reported that the requirements for all but science have been completed. In the future, students will have an advisor for professional education and an advisor for their major. Beginning with this semester, after students declare a secondary major, they are to report to Mary Ann in M209 to start an initial portfolio file.
Students are to submit a copy of their degree plan for their file.
To assist in this endeavor, Kristi Luke in Academic Affairs will send a printout of all secondary education majors to Dr. Hitchcock. Special Education Sheila Barnes reported that the goal of this committee is to prepare all teachers to educate all children. Middle Level Specialists Alan Lennon reported that this committee has taken a look at the learned societies' requirements. They are using Duane Merideth, Principal at Durant Middle School, as a consultant. Dr. Lennon will meet with him and the Middle School department heads for their input.
