3 3 Alabama State University Mission Statement Alabama State University serves the surrounding community through human, cultural, and physical resources. Instruction, research, and public service are central to the mission of the university. The university maintains a commitment to serve candidates from diverse academic, social, economic, ethnic, and geographical backgrounds and to develop responsible leaders who are capable of and willing to seek solutions to human, social, and technological problems. In the official documents of the university, the mission is stated as follows: The university is a regional, comprehensive, historically African American, state-supported university. In carrying out its mission, the university serves the city of Montgomery, the state, the nation, and the global community. Its major commitments are quality programs of undergraduate and graduate instruction, residential life, continuing education, public service, and research provided at the most reasonable cost to individual Candidates and taxpayers. The university will continue to strengthen its academic programs in education, business, and the liberal arts while giving even greater emphasis to the science programs at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The science emphasis is in recognition of the gross underrepresentation of minority professionals in this broad and important field throughout the nation. The university will also expand further its public service programs through strengthening service to local and state political leaders, providing them with research-based guidance on policy, program approaches, and initiatives for addressing community problems. The university aims to develop and pursue these programs in a manner to ensure that eligible Candidates who desire to develop and expand their scholastic skills for personal, occupational, or professional growth have the opportunity to do so, regardless of socioeconomic status. Respect for the intellectual potential and dignity of Candidates as individual human beings, without regard to age, sex, race, color, cultural background, national origin, or disability shall be paramount.

4 4 College of Education Mission The College of Education (COE) seeks to prepare teachers, instructional support personnel, and other professionals to be decision makers who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to ethically and effectively integrate theory and practice in carrying out their professions. These professionals will possess the understanding of our diverse culture, the technological capabilities, the intellectual rigor, and the critical thinking and problem solving skills required to make informed and responsible decisions, to engage in reflective assessment, to implement positive change, and to pursue learning as a lifetime endeavor. As an integral part of the total university, the COE is committed to serving the communities in Alabama through assistance to their educational programs and related activities. As it works to carry out its mission, the COE is careful to ensure that initial and advanced programs for the preparation of teachers and other professional education personnel are aligned with the expectations of national, state, professional, and institutional standards. In sum, the College of Education prepares professional educators to become decision makers that are committed to developing the abilities of all learners through best practices, are effective in integrating subject area content with appropriate teaching methods and assessment strategies, infuse technology in various teaching strategies, and understand and value diverse perspectives and experiences. Accreditations The university is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). Many individual university programs are accredited by their relevant professional organizations and associations. Teacher education programs in the College of Education are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) in partnership with the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE). NCATE and ALSDE conduct joint continuing accreditation reviews of the unit s programs.

5 5 College of Education Conceptual Framework EDUCATOR AS DECISION MAKER Description of the Conceptual Model The Conceptual Framework of the College of Education, Educator as Decision Maker, provides coherence for the college s professional education programs. It guides the systematic design and delivery of curriculum, instruction, field experiences, clinical practice, assessment, and evaluation. The Conceptual Model presents a graphic illustration of the development of decision makers through these multiple dimensions of the college s professional education programs. The model consists of four interdependent, interrelated, and interacting components which the college faculty view as essential contexts for the shaping of informed, skilled, and responsible decision makers. The first component, the outer circle, represents the assumption that candidates bring to the university a prior context consisting of their own values and vision, knowledge and skills, and cultural and societal influences. This prior context serves as the foundation for the learning that takes place in the university s educational programs. The second component, the large inner circle, represents the setting in which the university and the college provide the education and training of prospective professional educators. This setting is the interactive context. It encompasses the general and professional areas in which the development of competence is necessary for informed and effective decision making. These areas are knowledge and ability, application through experience, and professional values and dispositions. This component provides opportunities for the

6 6 candidates to weave new learning into their existing knowledge base and thereby to broaden and deepen their understanding and experience. The third component, indicated by the rotating arrows within the large inner circle, represents the decision making context which, in simplified terms, embraces a continuous cycle of planning, predicting, implementing, reflecting, evaluating, and revising. The candidates develop and refine their decision making ability within the context of their interactions with curricula, faculty, and other professionals. The fourth component of the model, the center circle, represents the outcomes context. All of the other components lead to the achievement of this one goal the development of the educator who is an informed and responsible decision maker. The Educator as Decision Maker is a Reflective Practitioner, a Change Agent, and a Lifelong Learner. Conceptual Framework Outcomes: Expected Candidate Proficiencies Candidates who complete COE professional education programs are proficient educators who make informed and responsible decisions.

9 9 Statement of Ethical Commitment 1 The College of Education is a continually evolving, dynamic community composed of individuals dedicated to learning and teaching. Candidates, faculty, administrators, and staff fulfill important and often interchangeable roles and make unique contributions to the continued success of the College. This membership within the College is diverse, but all members are committed to the vision outlined in the college s Mission Statement. The College of Education faculty is committed to creating an environment in which all learners can reach their potential. This commitment includes: fostering an atmosphere where the open and critical exchange of ideas is encouraged and where the dignity of others involved is acknowledged and honored; providing learning experiences that challenge intellectual capabilities and stimulate creative and independent thinking; modeling the spirit of inquiry and pursuit of knowledge; and demonstrating a commitment to sharing expertise and providing community and professional service. The College of Education candidates are committed to preparation and professional development as successful leaders in there field. These individuals recognize that years spent in formal education provide an invaluable knowledge base upon which later experiences can be built. The commitment to preparation necessitates a willingness to take responsibility for one s learning and a desire to engage in an active process where dialogue, scholarship, and experience are vital. The entire College of Education will benefit when students contribute their personal experiences and insights as well as their creative and inspiring minds to the community of learning. College of Education administrators, faculty, and staff provide the support systems in which the teaching and learning environment thrives. As members of the learning community, these individuals are committed to facilitating the mission of the College through wideranging responsibilities including technical support, management, leadership, and service. The College community is committed to work towards equity and economics and social justice. It honors and seeks both intellectual and individual diversity. Differences of opinion, theory, politics, religion, creed, gender, color, race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, family or cultural background, national origin, marital or economic status, and physical ability are viewed as enrichments of the College s culture and climate. It also provides opportunities for the growth of its members. In the College, all members are treated with respect, kindness, fairness, understanding, and are afforded the opportunity to flourish within an emotionally supportive and intellectually challenging environment. 1 See Alabama Educator Code of Ethics, Appendix A.

10 10 College of Education Program Overview The College of Education (COE) offers 19 programs at the baccalaureate level, 17 at the master s level, 11 at the education specialist level, and one at the doctoral level. An alternative fifth-year program leading to the master s degree in education and teacher certification is designed for candidates who did not complete a teacher education program at the undergraduate level. Some courses in the unit s programs are offered on-line. Table 2 lists all programs offered by the college that prepare candidates for careers in P-12 schools. As previously indicated, Alabama is a NCATE partnership state; therefore, the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) and NCATE jointly review and approve College of Education programs for accreditation. Programs in the COE are administered through four departments: the Department of Curriculum and Instruction; the Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation; the Department of Foundations and Psychology, and the Department of Instructional Support Programs. Each department is headed by a department chair who reports to the dean of the college. The Department of Curriculum and Instruction offers programs in early childhood education, elementary education, secondary education, and special education/collaborative teacher. The Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation offers programs in health education and physical education and non-teaching programs in recreation management and recreation therapy. The Department of Foundations and Psychology offers educational foundations courses for teacher candidates and non-teaching programs in psychology. The Department of Instructional Support Programs offers graduate programs in education administration, library education/media, general counseling and school counseling, and a doctoral program in educational leadership, policy, and law. Initial and advanced programs in music are offered in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. The director of off-campus sites, the director of professional laboratory experiences, the certification officer, the director of the Teacher Education Center, the director of the Early Childhood Center, and the director of the Central Alabama Regional In-service Center report directly to the dean of the college. Currently, graduate courses are offered at three official off-campus sites-- Birmingham, Brewton, and Mobile, Alabama. Candidates enrolled in these courses must meet the same academic requirements and deadlines as candidates attending classes in Montgomery. Degree-seeking candidates can take no more than 50% of their required courses in any program at off-campus sites. The Early Childhood Center provides social and educational experiences for children 3 ½ to 8 years old while serving as a setting for observation and participation experiences for undergraduate and graduate candidates. The Teacher Education Center is a key support unit for the college. It manages activities associated with the preparation of prospective candidates for admission to teacher education, and provides assistive instruction and other support for candidates. The Central Alabama Regional In-service Center provides professional development activities for teachers and administrators in the service area. The college s Curriculum Resource Center is located in the Levi Watkins Library and Learning Resources Center.

11 11 More specifically, the COE offers two types of programs that are reviewed for accreditation purposes by NCATE and the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE): initial teacher preparation programs and advanced preparation programs. Initial teacher preparation programs are those programs at the baccalaureate and postbaccalaureate levels that prepare candidates for their first certification to teach. The programs enroll qualified undergraduate candidates pursuing the baccalaureate degree and alternative fifth-year graduate candidates seeking certification to teach. At program completion, undergraduates are eligible to apply for Alabama Class B certification and graduates may apply for Class A certification. Advance preparation programs are continuing teacher preparation programs at the master s and educational specialist levels and instructional support/other professional school personnel programs at the master s, educational specialist, and doctoral levels. programs also include non-degree certification programs (Class A and AA certification only) offered at the graduate level. Advance instructional support/other professional school personnel programs included educational administration, school counseling, library education media, and the doctoral program in educational leadership, policy, and law; which does not lead to certification. Teacher Education Center The major objective of the Teacher Education Center (TEC) is to enhance the preparation of students for admission to teacher education by utilizing the resources in the TEC. The TEC offers services to students who are interested in majoring in teacher education. The center offer a teacher education class, free workshops, individual tutoring sessions, and a variety of electronic programs to assist candidates and potential majors. The TEC provides information about the requirements for becoming a teacher and tutoring regarding those requirements. More specifically, the Center provides assistance with the Alabama Basic Skills Test; math, writing, reading and comprehension; the English Proficiency Exam; ways to increase your grade point average; and writing the philosophy of education essay. EDU 100: Preparation for Admission to Teacher Education is offered under the auspices of the TEC. This is required for all students interested in a teacher education major. The TEC has a resource library that includes dictionaries, thesauruses, TEC designed booklets and handouts, books, journals, and other publications for student use. The TEC provides a computer laboratory with Macintosh and Gateway computer hardware, software, and Internet connectivity. The Microsoft Office Suite, Printshop Premier Edition, 5.0; Corel WordPerfect, and PowerPrep, GRE preparation software are just some of the software available to users. College of Education students may also use the laminating machine and stencil markers for their class projects. When students are ready to apply for admission to the teacher education program and student teaching, an online template is available in the Center.

12 12 Advising Information The advising process for the College of Education is based on the theme: Educator as Decision Maker. This theme comes from our conceptual framework that emphasizes decision making and the accountability that accompanies empowered individuals. Therefore, advising in the College of Education is based on the following premises: Advising is a service provided by the University to facilitate the candidate s progress toward program completion. The ultimate responsibility for program completion rests with the candidate. Advisors and candidates will have a duplicate, signed record of the student s advising history (i.e., program checklist). Advisors are responsible for making reasonable time available for candidates for advising via office hours and individual appointments. Candidates who have not pursued advisements in a timely manner will not expect special consideration or treatment by the advisor. Advisees are responsible for the following procedures: Become familiar with ASU s policies and procedures, and keep personal copies of your schedules, forms, grades, tests, and other important information regarding your academic progress. Plan ahead. Ask questions when necessary. Prepare a list of questions or concerns before meeting with your advisor. Have a tentative schedule of courses and list alternatives. Make a point to be knowledgeable about what affects you. Take the initiative to contact your advisor. Remember that your advisor has a busy schedule, so plan to make an appointment prior to registration. Pick-up two (2) copies of the Advisement Record Form from the departmental secretary and complete the top portion of both forms. Assess your progress on the Professional Educator Self-Assessments Record document. Update your Graduation Requirement/Curriculum Worksheet. Make sure you follow your program checklist and record your grades in the space provided after completing courses. Meet with your advisor during the week before early registration to complete the Schedule Request Form. Maintain a detailed account of decisions made with your advisor during advising sessions by recording them on the Advisement Record Form. Sign both copies of the Advisement Record Form. Keep one copy for your Personal Advisement Folder and leave the other with your advisor for your official advisement folder. Request that your advisor remove the advisor hold during your advising session. Ask for advisor s signature and proceed to Acadome for processing or register on-line.

13 13 General University and College Policies and Procedures Class Attendance Regular and punctual class attendance is expected. However, the University recognizes that students may be faced with circumstances warranting absence from attending class. Official excuses are issued by the University Counseling Center and are granted for the following reasons only: (a) verified illness; (b) death in immediate family; with proof (e.g., statement from funeral home, death certificate, obituary); (c) University-authorized business; (d) military duty; (e) civic duty (i.e., time for voting or serving on jury duty, not court appearances for misconduct); and (f) counselor-excused verification. Professors will address their individual class attendance policies with their classes and they will also include their policies in their course syllabus. Disability Support Services ASU offers a variety of support services for candidates with disabilities. These services are provided to help candidates make the best possible use of the University s comprehensive academic resources. Candidates with disabilities are encouraged to become active participants in the University community and to develop a sense of independence that will help them gain the leading edge when entering the job market. The University is committed to the identification and removal of any and all existing barriers that prevent disabled candidates from enjoying rights and privileges, advantages or opportunities enjoyed by nondisabled candidates. In order to receive disability accommodations, candidates must present current documentation of your disability to the ADA liaison located in the University Counseling Center, 109 McGehee Hall, (334) College Catalog The ASU Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs are the most important books that you will own. Not only does it list graduations requirements, but it also gives you course descriptions and outlines what prerequisites you must have before taking certain classes, etc. You will be held responsible for the catalog contents whether you read it or not. You may get a copy of the Undergraduate Catalog from the Registrar s Office 2, located 17 Councill Hall; and the Graduate Catalog 3 from the Graduate School, 101 Councill Hall. Motor Vehicle Operations Students who operate motor vehicles on the campus are required to register each vehicle with the Police and Security Department and to obey all parking and traffic regulations. Vehicles that are not registered with ASU will be ticketed, towed and/or immobilized at the owner s/operator s expense. The five principal parking and traffic flow regulations are described below: (a) between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., students must park in areas designated for students; (b) restrictions pertaining to parking in reserved and handicapped areas will be strictly enforced; (c) Parking on campus is prohibited after 1:00 a.m., except for registered vehicles of campus residents and patrons at University-approved events. However, motor vehicles may be parked for brief periods for loading and unloading passengers in designated areas; (d) entrance to and exit from the University will be through 2 You may download a copy of the Undergraduate Catalog from: 3 You can download a electronic copy from the following address:

14 14 designated areas from dusk to dawn; and (e) All visitors who drive to the University campus and expect to park for any purposes must report to the Police and Security Department and must be issued a visitor s permit. Accordingly, students expecting visitors who drive vehicles must advise such individuals to report to the Police and Security Department to receive a parking permit. Bookstore The University Bookstore is located at 1235 Carter Hill Road on the southwest section of the campus and offers for sale all required textbooks and reference books, a wide variety of school and art supplies, office supplies, greeting cards, souvenirs, imprinted clothing and toiletries. All major credit cards are honored for charge sales. Courses Repeated for Credit A student may repeat a course that he or she has failed to complete or to pass. A student who has a grade of D in a course may also repeat the course with the approval of the dean of the college involved. Whenever a course is repeated, it may be counted only once toward graduation; and the last grade earned is used in computing the cumulative grade point average. However, all grades earned are listed on the student s permanent record. Auditing Courses Auditing a class means that you take the class but you do not get a grade. A candidate who wishes to audit a course must enroll as an auditor at the time of registration. No credit is earned and no examination for credit may be subsequently applied for when a course is audited. Students who enroll as auditors may not change to credit status after the final date of the program change period. You should check with both your advisor and the instructor prior to registering for the course because not all classes can be audited. Applying for Certification Candidates seeking teacher certification must apply by completing and submitting the appropriate application and documentation. This is not the same as filing or applying for graduation, so please do not confuse the two. To apply for certification, candidates must have successfully completed a State Department of Education approved program prior to submitting the application. This means that the candidate must have completed all coursework, passed the necessary examinations, and met all other degree and university requirements. Points to Remember Regarding the Certification Process: 1. Earning a degree in education does not mean that you are automatically recommended to the State Department of Education for issuance of a certificate. 2. Making application for certification is the student s responsibility. 3. Check the bulletin boards for deadline dates for filing certification applications. 4. Applications are available in CH 235 in the Office of Teacher Certification. 5. All applications must include a fee of $20.00 and an additional $49.00 is required for fingerprinting. Each of these application fees must be a separate money order or cashier s check, and made payable to the State Department of Education.

15 15 6. The application and fees will be accepted by the secretary in the Certification Office. Please retain copies of your completed application and your money order or cashier s check. 7. Please complete your application for certification in its entirety. If you are in doubt about certain portions of the application, please contact the Office of Teacher Certification here at ASU for answers. Failing to complete the application in its entirety could result in missing out on an employment opportunity. Processing the Application for Certification Once a student submits his or her application for certification, the Certification Officer will process your application and recommend you for certification to the Dean of the College of Education. The application is then forwarded to the Office of Records and Registration who will process and add the candidate s transcript to the certification packet and then forward it to the Alabama State Department of Education. The certification process including issuance of the certificate by the State Department of Education takes approximately four (4) to six (6) weeks after submission. Applying for Graduation All students must apply for graduation. This is not an automatic process. You must file for graduation even if you do not plan to participate in a commencement exercise. Please follow these steps when filing for graduation: You may pickup a Graduation Application form from the Office of Student Affairs (MH, Room 108). The deadline is listed in the University Calendar. Indicate on the application what courses you are currently taking and what courses you plan to take the following semester. Have advisor review the application, evaluate your curriculum sheet, and sign both documents. Obtain the necessary signatures for both forms. Take the application to cashier s office in basement of Council Hall. Once you pay the application fee, the cahier will stamp and validate the form. Retain a copy of the form and cahier s receipt for your records. Take the application to the Office of Teacher Certification in Council Hall, Room 235. That office will be responsible for completing the rest of the graduation application process. Be sure to complete the application in it entirety. Failing to do so may result in serious problems during the graduation clearance process. Please note that in order to graduate in the spring commencement, you must file for graduation in September. To march in the summer commencement, you must submit your application early in June. Please remember to follow the dates listed in the University Calendar. Make every attempt to participate in graduation exercises. It is worth the time and effort. You earned it!!!!

21 21 APPENDIX C: ALABAMA EDUCATOR CODE OF ETHICS Introduction The primary goal of every educator in the state of Alabama must, at all times, be to provide an environment in which all students can learn. In order to accomplish that goal, educators must value the worth and dignity of every person, must have a devotion to excellence in all matters, must actively support the pursuit of knowledge, and must fully participate in the nurturance of a democratic citizenry. To do so requires an adherence to a high ethical standard. The Alabama Educator Code of Ethics defines the professional behavior of educators in Alabama and serves as a guide to ethical conduct. The code protects the health, safety and general welfare of students and educators; outlines objective standards of conduct for professional educators; and clearly defines actions of an unethical nature for which disciplinary sanctions are justified. Code of Ethics Standards Standard 1: Professional Conduct An educator should demonstrate conduct that follows generally recognized professional standards. Ethical conduct includes, but is not limited to, the following: Encouraging and supporting colleagues in the development and maintenance of high standards. Respecting fellow educators and participating in the development of a professional and supportive teaching environment. Engaging in a variety of individual and collaborative learning experiences essential to developing professionally in order to promote student learning. Unethical conduct is any conduct that impairs the certificate holder s ability to function in his or her employment position or a pattern of behavior that is detrimental to the health, welfare, discipline, or morals of students. Unethical conduct includes, but is not limited to, the following: Harassment of colleagues. Misuse or mismanagement of tests or test materials. Inappropriate language on school grounds.
