1 Program Revision Guidelines EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY DIVISION OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS OUTLINE FOR SUBMITTING PROPOSALS TO REVISE PROGRAMS Use this outline to prepare proposals to revise existing programs, including undergraduate majors and minors and graduate degree programs and certificates. Proposals for revising programs should be submitted in narrative form, using the following outline. Guidelines are on the following page. PROGRAM NAME AND SUBJECT CODE: SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY ELSL/SESL/SLIC/SPEE REVISED PROGRAM NAME AND SUBJECT CODE (IF APPLICABLE): DEGREE: BACHELOR S DEPARTMENT(S)/SCHOOL(S): SPECIAL EDUCATION COLLEGE(S): EDUCATION CONTACT PERSON: SARAH GINSBERG CONTACT PHONE: X2672 CONTACT SGINSBERG@EMICH.EDU REQUESTED START DATE: TERM FALL YEAR 2010 I. Rationale The graduate Speech-Language Pathology program was reaccredited in 8/09 by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association s (ASHA) Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA). The changes that are listed below and in the attached course revision forms are a reflection of both the specific mandates of the CAA to alter courses and the philosophical shift that the ASHA & CAA are expressing as the direction of graduate programs in our field. As a program, we have also benchmarked peer institutions to be sure that our changes are consistent with comparable graduate programs. The CAA review of our program indicated that they believe that the majority of disorder courses, those addressing pathology rather than normal communication, and clinical methods should reside in the graduate program. We are submitting the Program Revision for the graduate program at the same time as Program Revision for the undergraduate program. The CAA mandated shift of several undergraduate courses to the graduate program (see Program Revision for graduate program) necessitated that we review and update the undergraduate program. As with the graduate program, we benchmarked a number of undergraduate peer institutions that offer this program. The changes below and attached reflect the philosophical shift of emphasizing less pathological communication processes and clinical methodology, to a focus on normal development, normal aging, and normal communication sciences. We are hoping to implement the changes as of Fall Miller, Program Revision Guidelines Sept. 09

2 Program Revision Guidelines II. Description of Program Catalog Description: The professional entry-level credential in speech-language pathology is the master s degree in the field. Successful completion of this course of study, in the context of other program requirements, with respect to K-12 teacher licensure, satisfies the undergraduate portion of the requirements for the professional entrylevel credential at the master s degree level. This program leads toward, but does not satisfy, the requirements for recommendation to the Michigan Department of Education for K-12 endorsement as a Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Impairment. This program of study meets all requirements of the Council for Exceptional Children and of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. The Michigan Test for Teacher Certification (MTTC) covering this field is #57, Speech and Language Impairment. Prospective teachers may select Secondary or Elementary Certification. A minor from the respective approved lists is required in either instance and students must pass the certification test related to the minor. In addition, those selecting Elementary Certification must pass the Elementary Education certification test, #83. Those selecting the health care track have a choice among a different group of minors. Certificate in Speech Pathology The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association issues Certificates of Clinical Competence to individuals who present satisfactory evidence of their ability to provide independent clinical services to persons who have disorders of communication (speech, language and/or hearing). An individual who meets these requirements may be awarded a Certificate in Speech Pathology or in Audiology, depending upon the emphasis of his or her preparation. Note: The program at Eastern Michigan prepares individuals to meet the requirements in speech pathology only. Specific requirements may be obtained from the advisers in speech pathology. As only the Professional Studies are changing, those are the only ones included here. No changes to teacher certification programs will occur.

No changes to teacher certification courses will occur.

In addition to the removal of most pathology oriented courses, the addition of the two courses SPGN 461 and RDNG 300 reflect the current demands on professionals in our field working with children and in the schools. As speech-language pathologists are expected to be adept at working with children who have behavioral issues, such as those with autism, and with children who have literacy issues, we feel it is incumbent upon us to prepare our students for working with these children. The Course Revisions and New Course Forms for the above changes are attached as Appendix C. IV. Impact The only revision that will impact any other program is the increase from 2 to 3 credits of SPHI 392. A letter of support from the Hearing Impairment Program is attached to that Course Revision form. Attached here in Appendix D are the letters of support from the Teacher Education/Reading faculty who teach RDNG 300 and the Special Education faculty who teach SPGN 461. Miller, Program Revision Guidelines Sept. 09

As would be expected by your students, clients or patients as an SLP, attendance is expected. A written medical excuse must be provided if class is missed for reasons of illness. Each student is expected to read all class handouts and text chapters, complete all assignments and exams. Make-up exams will be offered only with a written medical excuse for missing the assigned exam. On random class days the instructor will award five points (for a total of 25 points) to students for attending class and participating in class discussion. Students will use their knowledge of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) in this course. The ability to transcribe sentences using the IPA will be assessed at the beginning of the course.

21 SPSI 341 Instructor: 2 At the beginning of the semester students will be given a brief pre-test on English grammar which will assess their ability to recognize sentence structure, parts of speech, clause and phrase structure and verb tenses. Any deficiencies in knowledge will be rectified by the last exam of the term, in which students will be tested on this information. Applied exercises: Throughout the term short exercises will be assigned which will enable students to apply their knowledge of speech, language and phonological disorders. These assignments will be given following the class in which the particular concept or principle is discussed. There will be no make-ups for the applied exercises or exams without a documented medical excuse. Acceptance of the excuse is at the instructor s discretion. Total value of applied exercises will be 25 points. Exams: There will be two examinations during the term, each worth 50 points and a comprehensive final worth 100 points. Evaluation: Final grades will be assigned as follows: Class attendance-expected Exam 1 Exam 2 Final exam Applied exercises TOTAL POINTS 25 points 50 points 50 points 100 points 25 points 250 points Grading: 95 to 100 percent of total points = A 73 to 75 percent of total points = C 90 to 94 percent of total points = A- 70 to 72 percent of total points = C- 86 to 89 percent of total points = B+ 66 to 69 percent of total points = D+ 83 to 85 percent of total points = B 63 to 65 percent of total points = D 80 to 82 percent of total points = B- 60 to 62 percent of total points = D- 76 to 79 percent of total points = C+ 0 to 59 percent of total points = E NOTE: Students requiring accommodations for completing assignments or exams should speak with the course instructor no later than the second week of classes to provide evidence indicating why the accommodation is necessary and to describe the specific accommodations requested. A grade of incomplete (I) will be given only if the student has completed Exams 1 and 2 with a passing grade and the student provides an exceptional extenuating circumstance for requesting the grade of I. Academic Dishonesty The Department of Special Education is committed to academic integrity as a means to promote ethical development, personal accountability and an exceptional learning environment. Therefore, within the Department of Special Education, an act of academic dishonesty may result in failure of the assignment at issue, or, removal from a field experience, practicum, student teaching or internship site, or, failure of the course, or, dismissal from the program. An allegation that a student has committed an act of academic dishonesty will be handled by the faculty member, in consultation with the student s Program Area, and the Department Head. Pursuant to the University policy governing acts of academic dishonesty, if the student denies the allegation, the faculty member may refer the case to the Office of Student Judicial Services for an investigation and formal findings before assigning the academic penalty. Please refer to the guidelines published at Course Calendar for SPSI 341: Topic: Introduction- The relationship between speech, language and communication

27 Program Revision Guidelines EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY DIVISION OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS OUTLINE FOR SUBMITTING PROPOSALS TO REVISE PROGRAMS Use this outline to prepare proposals to revise existing programs, including undergraduate majors and minors and graduate degree programs and certificates. Proposals for revising programs should be submitted in narrative form, using the following outline. Guidelines are on the following page. PROGRAM NAME AND SUBJECT CODE: SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY (SPLP) REVISED PROGRAM NAME AND SUBJECT CODE (IF APPLICABLE): DEGREE: MASTER S DEPARTMENT(S)/SCHOOL(S): SPECIAL EDUCATION COLLEGE(S): EDUCATION CONTACT PERSON: SARAH GINSBERG CONTACT PHONE: X2672 CONTACT SGINSBERG@EMICH.EDU REQUESTED START DATE: TERM FALL YEAR 2010 I. Rationale The graduate Speech-Language Pathology program was reaccredited in 8/09 by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association s (ASHA) Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA). The changes that are listed below and in the attached course revision forms are a reflection of both the specific mandates of the CAA to alter courses and the philosophical shift that the ASHA & CAA are expressing as the direction of graduate programs in our field. As a program, we have also benchmarked peer institutions to be sure that our changes are consistent with comparable graduate programs. The CAA review of our program indicated that they believe that the majority of disorder courses, those addressing pathology rather than normal communication, and clinical methods should reside in the graduate program. The details of the individual changes are set forth in section III and the CAA letter addressing several mandated changes is attached in Appendix B. While the CAA reviewers did not specify a specific date by which these changes must be in effect, our reaccreditation was based on the belief that the changes would be accomplished as soon as feasible. We are hoping to implement the changes as of Fall II.
