3 PROGRAM EXPERIENCES The Bachelor of Arts in French Teaching program is designed for candidates who are preparing to teach French in grades P-12. Upon completion of a degree in French Teaching, candidates will be able to demonstrate and integrate content knowledge, effective pedagogical skills, dispositions, and technological skills. In addition, candidates will show understanding and appreciation for students and families from diverse socioeconomic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds through course observations, assignments and reflections. All French courses are taught in French. There is significant exposure to and use of technology in all of the courses. Some assignments are submitted electronically. Students at the levels access the Workbook/Lab Manual program online for exercises and quizzes, and some syllabi include a list of websites as additional resources. Classes are periodically held in the departmental Media Lab, but students at all levels have individual access the Rosetta Stone language-learning program in the Laboratory, and SCOLA (international television programming ) from any computer on the campus. The College of Education and the College of Arts and Sciences strive to work together to meet individual student needs through effective advising, excellent instruction and regular, supervised field and clinical experiences. In addition, student support services are provided by the College of Education Office of Teacher Admissions and Certification. Upon completion of a degree in French Teaching, candidates will be able to 1) communicate successfully in the three modes of communication - interpersonal, interpretive, presentational - EKU Undergraduate Program Review Documents: BA - French Page 3

4 in the target language they intend to teach; 2) demonstrate competent writing skills in the French language; 3) communicate knowledge of cultural perspectives as they are reflected in the practices and products of the target language; 4) compare favorably with their knowledge of instructional design and assessment to promote student learning. Curriculum Requirements Curriculum requirements include the following: (1) Major (30 hours - required: FRE 201, 202, 340, 360; 6 hours selected from FRE 301, 302, 313, 314, 315, or 400; electives: 9 hours of upper division courses); (2) professional education (34 hours - EDF 103, 203, 319, 413, SED 401; EME 442, ESE 490, 543, and EMS 499); (3) supporting courses (3 hours - FCC 220); (4) general education (45 hours); (5) University requirements (1 hour - ASO 100); (6) free electives: (15 hours); TOTAL: 128 hours. A grade of C or higher is required in each course for credit toward the major. Students must attain a 2.5 G in their teaching major and must pass a departmental proficiency exam, which covers spoken and written language, culture, and literature, to be recommended for student teaching. Program delivery is evaluated via student evaluation of instruction designed by the Department (as the usual IDEA instrument proved to be insufficient), a major evaluation in the final semester of study, as well as other common assessments and program reviews. After having completed EKU s College of Education foundations courses, candidates have a knowledge base of the EKU Conceptual Framework, the EPSB Kentucky Teacher Standards and Code of Ethics, Kentucky Core Content, and related Special Program Areas. Candidates are EKU Undergraduate Program Review Documents: BA - French Page 4

5 assessed within the foundation coursework to ensure that they have acquired a solid knowledge base. A strong foundation in these areas is necessary in order to be able to effectively apply these varied concepts in projects and assessments in later classes. It should be noted that while the foundation courses focus on knowledge, evidence of application is required of candidates in one or more areas of each foundation course. Monitoring of Candidate Progress Candidates progress through four transition points: Pre-admission, Admission to the Teacher Education Program (Gate 1), Preparation for Admission to Student Teaching (Gate 2), Student Teaching (Gate 3), and Program Completion / Graduation (Gate 4). These transition points insure that candidates have acquired necessary professional and pedagogical content knowledge, skills, and dispositions to progress through the program. Candidates are guided through the process of each transition point during orientations, advising, and mentoring. The planned program document (CARES report) is electronically updated each semester as the candidate progresses throughout the program. Upon admission to Eastern Kentucky University, freshmen may choose French Teaching as their major. However, candidates are not officially admitted to the program until they have completed 60 hours and have met all Teacher Education Admission Requirements. During the transition between admission to the University and admission to Teacher Education, candidates are introduced to the professional teaching roles, responsibilities, and ethical issues in EDF 103 Introduction to Education. Through field observations of primary, intermediate, middle, and secondary classrooms candidates are also introduced to the Kentucky Teacher Standards and begin to identify those standards in practice. At this time candidates are also developing content EKU Undergraduate Program Review Documents: BA - French Page 5

6 knowledge and technology skills as they complete their General Education requirements and begin coursework in their emphasis areas. In EDF 203 Schooling and Society, candidates study the foundations and philosophies of American Education. They are also introduced to the Kentucky Program of Studies and Professional Ethics for Teachers. Candidates participate in a mentoring project during this course and their professional dispositions are assessed by their instructor and field supervisor. Only those candidates who meet the minimum ACT score requirements (or equivalent) may enroll in EDF 203. Alignment to Standards After having completed EKU s College of Education foundations courses, candidates have a knowledge base of the EKU Conceptual Framework, the EPSB Kentucky Teacher Standards and Code of Ethics, Kentucky Core Content, and related Ss. This knowledge base is enhanced and extended as they progress through the program. Candidates are assessed within the foundation coursework to ensure that they have acquired a solid knowledge base. A strong foundation in these areas is necessary in order to be able to effectively apply these varied concepts in projects and assessments in later classes. Conceptual Framework The EKU Teacher Education Program s Conceptual Framework is woven throughout the Middle Grades program so as to ensure that candidates develop knowledge, skills, and appropriate professional dispositions as they progress. General Education coursework at EKU helps students to become informed, independent thinkers by developing competencies in communication, quantitative analysis, and critical thinking and by helping them understand and appreciate the diversity of culture, individuals, the natural environment, and the global EKU Undergraduate Program Review Documents: BA - French Page 6

7 society. Along with the teacher education core and their emphasis area coursework candidates construct understanding of the complexity and richness of the teaching/learning process. Pedagogical skills are introduced and initially applied in supervised settings during the early foundations courses, EDF 103, 203, and 319. Once admitted to the Teacher Education Program, candidates further develop specific pedagogical knowledge and skills related to assessment during EDF 413; and, differentiation of instruction for students with special needs in SED 401. During the methods classes, candidates extend and enhance pedagogical knowledge and skills specific to world languages, and apply that during their intensive field experiences. Candidates professional dispositions are assessed multiple times throughout the program not only through self-assessments, but by instructors and cooperating teacher mentors. These dispositions include professional behaviors as well as their demonstration of positive attitudes and beliefs as demonstrated in their behaviors and words. All teacher education candidates must demonstrate basic competence with technology in their general education coursework (CSC 104 or CIS 212). Instructional technology is demonstrated and utilized throughout their programs. In addition, candidates demonstrate their skills with technology through their professional e- portfolio. The EKU Teacher Education Program is committed to an appreciation and value for diversity. The Diversity element of the Conceptual Framework reflects the unit s commitment to preparing candidates to support learning for all students from diverse populations, cultures, and environments regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, socio-economic status, physical or learning disabilities, or national origin. The professional education programs at EKU accept the obligation to prepare pre-service professionals to be competent as they face the challenges of today s diverse school and societal settings. To further broaden the NCATE definition of diversity the unit s programs consider but do not assess each of the 12 sources of cultural identity EKU Undergraduate Program Review Documents: BA - French Page 7

8 (race, ethnicity/nationality, social class, sex/gender, health, age, geographic region, sexuality, religion, social status, language, and ability/disability) that influence teaching and learning. The development of candidates cultural competency is infused in teacher education coursework as well as field and clinical experiences throughout the teacher education program. Kentucky Teacher Standards The design of each course in the French Teaching Core and Professional Education Requirements incorporate Kentucky Teacher Standards into the objectives of the course. The candidate receives an introduction to the Standards in Introduction to Education (EDF 103) and continues to gain a fuller understanding along with a working knowledge of the standards in the remainder of the Professional Education required and core courses. A working knowledge is developed through development of objectives, lesson plans, field and clinical observations, and implementation of lesson plans in methods courses and Student Teaching experiences. Integration of the KY EPSB Code of Ethics From the first education foundations course (EDF 103), candidates receive an in-depth introduction to the Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board Code of Ethics, which is reinforced through advising and the interview processes. Throughout all of their observations from EDF 103 through their student teaching experiences, candidates are expected to demonstrate professionalism by upholding the Code of Ethics. As candidates complete the steps to transition to the Teacher Education Program, they will be enrolled in EDF 319 Human Development and Learning. In this course they will conduct observations and interviews and apply their knowledge of development and learning theory in a EKU Undergraduate Program Review Documents: BA - French Page 8

9 Personal Learning Theory. EDF 319 involves field and clinical experiences at Model Laboratory School and / or area public schools. French Teaching Methods Candidates who have been admitted to the Teacher Education Program, have completed EDF 319, and have completed the required content coursework in their major are allowed to transition to EME 442 and ESE 543 / 743. In the case of French Teaching majors, this course is taught by personnel with credentials in foreign language and culture and pedagogy. EME 442, Teaching Foreign Language in Grades P-8, is designed to provide instructional strategies and classroom management specific to elementary and middle grades students, while ESE 543 / 743, Teaching Language Arts in the Secondary School, focuses on high school students. EME 442 and ESE 543 / 743 are taught concurrently. Candidates participate in extensive field based experiences at Model Laboratory School teaching their target language in either an elementary or middle grades classroom. ESE 543 / 743 requires that each candidate complete a total of 20 field and 20 clinical experience hours working directly with a high school French teacher. These experiences, which are likely to be completed in another high school other than Model, include: contextual analysis of an urban, diverse Lexington area high school; Extensive school-based field experiences at a regional high school, paired with a highly qualified mentor /cooperating teacher; Four hours of independent professional development (such as special presentations, professional meetings and conferences, etc.); Seventeen hours working directly with a cooperating teachers and their high school students in a French classroom; EKU Undergraduate Program Review Documents: BA - French Page 9

10 Completion of a videotaped teaching episode and an analysis of the students learning, using the KTIP-T task C ; Completion of reflection journals in response to the field experiences; and Completion of a thematic, standards based unit of study for high school French. Student Teaching During the student teaching semester (ESE 499) candidates complete a twelve-week placement in a high school French classroom. Candidates work under the guidance and direction of highly qualified high school French teacher who meets the requirements for cooperating teachers established by the Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board. Professional dispositions are assessed at critical transition points (EDF 203, EDF 319, methods, and student teaching) using the College of Education Dispositions Assessment Instrument by candidates instructors and field experience cooperating teachers. Dispositions assessment results will contribute to the continuous assessment of each candidate s progress which leads to the overall success of the Professional Education Program. Assessment and Evaluation Systems Continuous program assessment of the EKU Secondary French Teaching Education Program is ensured through the use of the University s TracDat system, Task Stream candidate e-portfolios, Key Assessments, EKU s Banner system for records management and Program Reviews. In Schooling and Society (EDF 203), students begin an education portfolio using Task Stream. The portfolio is assessed at each of the transition points by faculty members in the Professional EKU Undergraduate Program Review Documents: BA - French Page 10

11 Education Program. Key Assessments in the Professional Education courses and French Teaching program Core contribute data collected in TracDat for assessment in annual reviews. The continuous assessment process includes collection of data from common and key assessments, program reviews and surveys. Information is then summarized and entered into TracDat and then reviewed by committee as identified on the Professional Education Continuous Assessment Plan (PECAP). In summary, the EKU French Teaching program provides candidates with the opportunity to grow and develop as professional educators. Additionally, this program addresses standards established by the Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board and by national Specialty Program Areas. This is reflected in common course syllabi as well as the tables that follow.

21 A. KERA Initiatives The KERA Initiatives are integrated through courses in a variety of ways. Kentucky Core Content is taught in general education courses, specific courses for the major, and applied in the professional education methods courses. The matrices show how university content courses align with Learner Goals/Academic Expectations, Program of Studies, and Core Content. Kentucky teaching tools are offered to candidates in professional education courses. During introductory courses, candidates are introduced to the tools. Later, in core and methods courses, the KERA Initiatives are applied in lesson planning and instructional processes. Throughout student teaching experiences, each candidate s usage of the tools during instruction is assessed. es/teaching+tools/combined+curriculum+documents/default.htm Foundation courses seek to provide students with an overview of knowledge of how schools function, how students develop physically and mentally, etc. Knowledge of specific content is limited to an overview of Kentucky Program of Studies, including Academic Expectations and Core Content for Assessment to prepare them for content connections in later courses. Specific content is not included in the course content of these foundations courses. Candidates are thoroughly prepared to teach French in grades P-12 through the courses in their major and supporting areas.

Curriculum Contract/Guidesheet: DegreeWorks matches candidates academic and course history against the degree requirements as defined in the Undergraduate or Graduate Catalog. It is a Web-based tool for students to monitor their academic progress toward degree completion. DegreeWorks also allows candidates and their advisors to plan future academic coursework. A DegreeWorks audit is a review of past, current and "planned" coursework that provides information on completed and outstanding requirements necessary to complete a degree/major/minor/concentration. The information in DegreeWorks is refreshed each night. Admission and Exit criteria are maintained in University Catalogs. Portfolio requirements are distributed during initial education classes and are reinforced throughout the program. In addition to semester advisor meetings, undergraduate candidates review their program requirements with the Tracking Specialist at the time of admission to the teacher education program. The sample at this link is a snap-shot of the DegreeWorks electronic web-based tool provided for reaccreditation purposes only.
