3 I. SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INSTITUION Overview of the University In 1958, Brandman University was established by Chapman University in Orange, California, to provide a high quality education to the military personnel at the El Toro Marine Air Station. Initially known as the Residence Education Center Program and later named Chapman University College, the program expanded over time to serve other military installations. While remaining military-friendly, the University eventually began to serve a large and diverse student population. In order to better meet the needs of adult learners through flexible accessible delivery models, Brandman University became a separately accredited institution in 2009 that is part of the Chapman University System. Brandman currently has 26 campuses throughout California and Washington and is a Hispanic Serving Institution (HIS). Built on Chapman University s century-and-a half legacy of academic excellence and expertise in providing rigorous and accessible learning environments that help adult students achieve their full potential, Brandman University is home to more than 12,000 students per session. The university offers more than 53 accredited undergraduate and graduate degrees, teaching credentials and extended education programs online and on campus. There are four academic schools within Brandman University: the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business and Professional Studies, the School of Education, and the School of Nursing and Health Professions. Unique to Brandman University is the innovative blended teaching model known as the ideal (Instructional Design for Engaged Adult Learning) model. This blended model combines face-to-face instruction with asynchronous and collaborative online learning. All campus based courses are delivered in the blended format. Students attend class each week for three hours and then participate in two and one-half hours of online work that may include discussions, journals, wikis and research activities that support the face-to-face components of the program. Fully online courses are also available. Courses are offered in six eight-week terms. may begin the program any term and take courses in either delivery format (blended or online). Brandman University s vision is to be the recognized leader in the evolution of adult learning. The mission of the university is to provide students with a dynamic education based on excellence and flexibility that creates lasting value and relevance for evolving careers. The mission is accomplished by living the values of respect, innovation, service, teamwork and integrity. Dedicated to upholding Brandman University s mission and values, the faculty: Strives for continuous renewal and innovation Creates a participative and collaborative culture Engages in ongoing academic and professional development Values diversity and encourages respect for contributions from all cultures Fosters success and upholds quality Overview of the School of Education The School of Education s vision is to be a prominent leader in education providing high quality, rigorous, and accessible credential and degree programs that promote excellence in education. 3

4 The mission of the School of Education is to develop strategic, innovative and caring leaders, scholars, and practitioners who are empowered to fulfill the promise and purpose of education in a pluralistic and democratic society by promoting constructive change within local, state, national and global communities. The School of Education s conceptual framework provides the structure and direction for program development, course content, instructional practices, candidate assessments, and unit accountability. It is aligned with the mission and vision of the university and articulates the unit s philosophy, purposes and guiding principles as well as candidate proficiencies. The conceptual framework engages faculty, staff and candidates in ongoing assessment, analysis and reflection and provides opportunities for input from educational partnerships in the community. There are five guiding principles that support all of the school s academic programs. The five guiding principles are: Inquiry, Diversity, Collaboration, Continuous Improvement and Clinical Practice and the corresponding candidate proficiencies serve as the foundational and philosophical structure on which each program is developed, implemented, assessed and improved. Candidate Proficiencies Across All Programs Guiding Principle Candidate Proficiency Inquiry Engage in systematic, rigorous and disciplined ways of thinking using scientific inquiry as the core of one s discipline to guide meaningful data driven decision making, critical thinking and reflection. Diversity Nurture respect and appreciation for individual differences, cultivate the strengths of individuals and promote equity and access. Collaboration Develop trusting relationships and effective communication skills that support critical and creative problem solving and decision making. Continuous Improvement Engage in lifelong learning, reflection and professional growth. Clinical Practice Apply practice-based learning in authentic contexts. The School of Education has a longstanding history of producing highly effective teachers, administrators and service professionals across the state of California. Undergraduate and graduate education programs are offered at 22 of the campuses in California & Washington (Ed.D only). Not every program is offered at every campus. School of Education programs and campuses offering those programs can be found in Appendix A & B. Multiple Subject, Single Subject and Education Specialist credential programs offer an internship route as an alternative for candidates to complete clinical practice. The Preliminary Administrative Services program and the School Psychology program also include an internship option. Strong relationships and partnerships with local school districts and colleges have been established at each campus and provide a network of professional opportunities that support and enhance student learning. The full time and adjunct faculty serving each campus are highly regarded leaders, scholars and practitioners who teach using the latest technologies, teaching strategies and best practices in education. The school dean is the chief academic officer of the school and unit, supported by the Associate Deans, a State Chair of Educational Clinical Services, Director of Credential Services, and professional staff members who assist with the operational processes of the school. Twenty eight full-time faculty are located across California and support the 22 campuses which offer education programs, as well as serving fully online courses and programs. Credential Analysts are located at the Central Office in Irvine and are under the direction of the Director of Credential Services. 4

5 II. RESPONSE TO PRECONDITIONS FOR ALL APPROVED PROGRAMS General Institutional Preconditions for All Professional Preparation Programs (1) Accreditation and Academic Credit. To be granted initial institutional accreditation or continuing accreditation by the Committee on Accreditation, the program(s) must be proposed and operated by (a) Institutions of higher education: a college or university that (i) is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges or another of the six regional accrediting associations, and (ii) grants baccalaureate academic credit or post baccalaureate academic credit, or both and (iii) an institution approved to offer educator preparation in California must notify the Commission within 30 days if its regional accreditation status changes. (This provision does not apply to professional preparation programs offered by school districts or other sponsors.) (b) School districts or other non-regionally accredited entities: the Superintendent or CEO of the district or entity shall submit verification of the governing board s approval of sponsorship of the program. The agreement to sponsor a program must include verification of the following: Once a candidate is accepted and enrolls in an educator preparation program, the sponsor must offer the approved program, meeting the adopted standards, until the candidate: i. completes the program; ii. withdraws from the program; iii. is dropped from the program based on established criteria; or iv. is admitted to another approved program to complete the requirements, with minimal disruption, for the authorization in the event the program closes. In this event, an individual transition plan would need to be developed with each candidate. Brandman University, part of the Chapman University System, offers bachelor s and post baccalaureate academic credit and degree programs online and at 26 campuses in California and Washington with more than 53 undergraduate, graduate, credential, and certificate programs in Business, Arts and Sciences, Health and Education. While Brandman University is part of the Chapman University System, its programs are separately accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). On February 10, 2009 Richard Winn, Associate Director of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges sent a letter to Chancellor Gary Brahm recognizing University College, now Brandman University, as a separate unit after a successful site visit on January 28, 2009 (Appendix C). The name change was acknowledged by WASC in a letter dated July 7, 2009 (Appendix D). Brandman University completed the Educational Effectiveness Review (EER) in 2013 at which time WASC reaffirmed accreditation for a period of eight years (Appendix E). The next comprehensive review with the Offsite Review (OSR) will occur in the spring of (2) Responsibility and Authority. To be granted initial institutional accreditation or continuing accreditation by the Committee on Accreditation, the entity shall provide the following information: (a) Identify the position within the organizational structure that is responsible for ongoing oversight of all educator preparation programs offered by the entity (including educator preparation programs offered by an extension division, if any). 5

6 (b) Provide a description of the reporting relationship between the position described in (a) and the individual(s) who coordinate each educator preparation program offered by the entity. If a reporting relationship is indirect, describe the levels of authority and responsibility for each educator preparation program. Oversight for all credential preparation programs offered by Brandman University is provided by the Dean of the School of Education. The Dean provides policy coordination and accreditation oversight for the University s credential programs and serves as the official liaison for the University to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. There are three Associate Deans who report to the Dean and, in coordination with the Dean, have responsibility for the leadership of all education programs. One of the Associate Deans also serves as the Director of Accreditation and assists faculty with the collection and analysis of assessment data and with the development of new programs. The State Chair for Education Clinical Services oversees fieldwork for all credential programs and works closely with the Clinical Coordinators at each campus. The processing of credentials is coordinated by the Director of Credential Services. All matters that relate to credential programs are supervised by the Dean of the School of Education, who has the ultimate oversight responsibility for coordination and accreditation of all credential programs at the University. The Associate Deans collaborate with faculty in their program areas to coordinate the credential programs they oversee. Full time faculty members in the School of Education participate in curriculum teams organized by program area. Individual faculty members are appointed by the Associate Deans to serve as curriculum team leaders who facilitate the curriculum team meetings in their respective areas. Through their involvement in curriculum teams faculty members develop and maintain the academic content, policies, and procedures that are recommended to the Associate Deans and Dean of the unit and on to the appropriate university faculty committee(s) and/or university administrators and staff. A primary role of staff and administrative personnel is to support the policies, procedures and other academic decisions of the faculty-based governance structure. An organizational chart of the School of Education is included in Appendix F. (3) Discrimination. To be granted initial institutional accreditation or continuing accreditation by the Committee on Accreditation, a program of professional preparation must be proposed and operated by an entity that makes all personnel decisions without unlawful discrimination. These decisions include decisions regarding the admission, retention or graduation of students, and decisions regarding the employment, retention or promotion of employees. Brandman University does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, color, age, disability, national origin, or ethnicity in any of its policies or practices, including, but not limited to: admissions, academic requirements, financial aid, employment, housing, athletics, or any other schooladministered program or service. Brandman University complies with all applicable state and federal equal opportunity and affirmative action laws. The University is committed to the principle that equal employment opportunities shall be afforded to all persons regardless of race, color, marital status, religious creed, sex, national origin, handicap, age, ancestry, disabled or Vietnam Veteran s status, or any other protected status and that discrimination, either passive or active, will be neither condoned nor tolerated for any reason, including, not only on the grounds cited above, but also on the grounds of sexual preference or family status. The affirmative action policy applies equally to all terms, conditions, and privileges of employment including hiring, promotion, training and development, compensation, benefits, transfer, termination and retirement. A statement regarding equal employment opportunity appears on page 10 of the Brandman Employee Handbook (Appendix G). 6
