8 Program Policies Promptness Prompt arrival at each class is critical because of the limited time available to conduct in-class activities during the course. Instructors may take actions they deem appropriate if consistent tardiness is observed. (Extracurricular responsibilities are not acceptable excuses.) Attendance Policy Attendance at all class meetings (including study team meetings) is mandatory. Students participating in an accelerated graduate degree program in the College of Education are expected to attend all scheduled classes and study team meetings. The following apply to all enrolled students: One Absence: Class or Study Team Any absence from either a scheduled class or study team session requires that the student notify the instructor or site coordinator. The student is required to make up all missed work, as determined by the instructor by the next class meeting. Two Absences: Class If a second class absence occurs, the student has the option of officially withdrawing from the course. Subsequent failure to withdraw will result in a grade of F for the course, and the student must later enroll and pay for the course credits. Students may not request an incomplete grade. Two Absences: Study Team or One Study Team/One Class The student is required to notify the instructor in order to make up all missed work by the next class meeting. Additionally, the student may be required to complete an academic assignment designed to facilitate learning of the missed course content. For the purposes of the policy, class is defined as the scheduled instructional time with the instructor. If a student misses a course and wants to continue in the program, the student must make up the missed course either with another cohort or on campus. There is no directed or independent study available for this purpose; students must contact the department chair to arrange for the makeup. Attendance at classes is a key component in the learning process. All classes have attendance policies. It is critical that you are aware of the policies. Course Drop and Withdrawal Policy If you are dropping a course, you must notify your instructor and your site coordinator before the course start date. When you are dropped from the course, you will not incur any financial course costs. If you are withdrawing from a course, you must notify the instructor and site coordinator ( will suffice) before the 2/3 mark of the course. When you are withdrawn from the course, you are still financially responsible for the course tuition and any other fees. 7
9 Cohort Group and Study Teams You and the other people who have begun the certification program at this site are a cohort. As a group, you will journey together through the courses and experiences by meeting approximately every other week for the duration of each course at the same location. When you meet as a cohort, the course instructor will guide the discussions and activities that provide a foundation for your journey toward meeting the performance indicators that are connected to the goals of the certification program. Cohorts meet for six hours per class session. You will also be part of a study team. A study team is a small group of cohort peers who meet outside of class time to work together on projects and other activities. This group meets for two hours between class sessions. This time replaces additional cohort meeting time with the instructor. Study team membership may change for each course under the guidance of the course instructor. Between class time and study team time, you will individually review class materials and do the assigned reading. Your instructor will provide a guide of activities that enhance and extend the topics you have begun to discuss in class. These are to be completed as a study team. When each study team member prepares thoroughly, your time together will have the quality of a rich learning experience. Forty-five clock hours of class time are required for a typical three-credit class. Generally, 1-2 additional hours of personal study for each class are necessary. In this accelerated program, the instructor directs between twenty four and thirty six clock hours. Twelve additional hours will be required for study team meetings. In between cohort and study team meetings, you will engage in personal study time to meet course performance indicators as needed. Course syllabi include the assessments for each course. Generally, these will be a combination of individual and group products. The exact criteria for each assessment task will be explained during cohort class meeting time. The editorial style of the American Psychological Association (APA) is the format you will use for referencing the sources of information that contribute to the products you and your study team design. You are responsible to learn and use this format on all written assignments that include references. Keep in mind that equal participation by all members of the study team, especially for the assessment tasks, will ensure that everyone benefits highly from these experiences. 8
10 Evaluation and Grading The instructors for each course experience in this program will have specific expectations for the products you will produce to demonstrate your learning. Everyone is committed to your success. The evaluation of your course work has three purposes: 1. To assess the quality and quantity of the learning that has been facilitated by the course of study 2. To provide feedback about your growth throughout the program 3. To help instructors determine the effectiveness of instruction in order to improve it Grades are calculated based upon a 3-point scale: 3 = Accomplished 2 = Proficient 1 = Developing You are expected to perform at the proficient level or above. Cardinal Stritch University faculty and instructors are committed to fair evaluation and welcome student input. You will be provided with clear performance indicators with matching assessment tasks for each course along with the criteria the instructor will use when evaluating your products. It is essential that assignments be completed in a timely manner. Throughout your program, you will be guided toward adding to your working leadership portfolio. Use the program goals to guide and organize your portfolio. Your leadership portfolio will be a helpful benchmark as you progress through your program, allowing you to look back and reflect on your successes, development needs, and high level of learning. To complete the program and receive certification, you must submit a passing leadership portfolio and maintain a 3.0 GPA within the Director of Special Ed/Pupil Services program with no course grade being below a C. Any course that has a grade below C must be repeated and can be repeated no more than 1 time. 9
11 End of Program Portfolio A successful professional portfolio submission is required for program completion. Specific direction and guidelines will be outlined in your coursework.
