This change was reported to the HTSB in the Annual report of Within the university, the department is listed as the Education

2 Department. However, within the department, the term School of Education is used in order to avoid confusion among students with the state Department of Education. Although this term usage does not impact the structure of department, clarification for the HTSB may be necessary. In 2012, the following changes in faculty within the Education Department at BYU-Hawaii occurred: Dr. David Buckner was hired as an education faculty and currently serves as program lead for the Elementary Education program. Dr. Ray Thompson retired in June, Dr. Thompson was program lead of the SPED program. Dr. Roy Winstead retired in September, Dr. Barry Mitchell retired in September, Dr. Erik Rackley was hired in July Dr. Ammon Wilcken was hired in August A faculty search is currently underway to hire two full-time faculty positions in the school of Education. As a follow-up to previous reports, in April 2010, the Special Education major and Dual Major (Elementary and Special Education) were eliminated. BYU-Hawaii no longer offers either of these two degrees. However, students enrolled in the program at the time of the decision were allowed to finish their programs. This final group of students was Dual majors who successfully completed the ELED student teaching program, including Praxis II ELED content tests, prior to commencing their SPED student teaching internship. As the last group of 2

3 students finish, the following timeline occurred: The final Dual Education major completed student teaching with a placement in both Elementary Education and SPED (34 weeks total) in vember, As of December, 2012, BYU-Hawaii has no students enrolled in the Special Education program, though it retains its state accreditation in this licensing field. STEPS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN TOWARDS NATIONAL ACCREDITATION PROGRESS MADE TOWARDS AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT OR CONDITIONS ON CURRENT HTSB/NCATE/TEAC/CAEP APPROVAL BYU Hawaii is applying for membership in TEAC and preparing for TEAC accreditation in BYU-Hawaii continues to follow state and national guidelines in preparing candidates for preparation in schools. With the focus of the Praxis II Elementary Content test, the School of Education at BYU-H added two courses for elementary education majors in These two changes, which include an additional math methods course and a special topics course in Social Studies content, have been successful in helping eliminate the gaps in testing scores. The additional math course is a required course for elementary education majors, the social studies topics course is an elective course. Other items of note: 3 In compliance with HTSB NBI, the School of Education requires all teacher candidates to pass the Praxis II content test in the appropriate field before beginning full-time clinical practice. This policy has impacted two secondary students who did not pass the test and withdrew from the licensing program. The School of Education has created a single lesson plan format for all education courses. This alignment has eliminated confusion among teacher candidates as all faculty members use the same format while focusing on the particular items appropriate for

4 4 the course (i.e. assessment, content methods courses, etc.) The School of Education continues to change observation forms and teacher candidate evidence to align with the INTASC standards. All full-time field candidates complete an evidence portfolio by the end of the field experience. These portfolios are aligned to the INTASC standards, yet the observation forms are in transition. This alignment will be completed by the end of December, 2013, ahead of the transition date of July, With the changes in faculty, continual professional development occurs in order to insure that all faculty members are aware of HTSB and DOE guidelines. The School of Education continues to require the Praxis II Principles of Learning and Teaching as an exit requirement for the program. The pass rate remains at 100 percent. Faculty members monitor test information released by ETS to insure that the content of the test is an appropriate measure of the total learning of teacher candidates. Faculty members are currently preparing accreditation documents for TEAC accreditation. This process will prepare the School of Education for an audit visit in In 2012, four faculty members attending a TEAC conference. With the retirement of two of these faculty members, additional training for new faculty was necessary.
