=March 1, 2016= Meredith College Teacher Education Committee // ** Teaching, Learning, Leading ** //

Committee business for March 1, 2016 includes five updates. At this point, these updates are for information and do not require a meeting.
 * Update **

1. The Curriculum Instructional Specialist proposal was approved by the Academic Council in February. The faculty will vote on the proposal in March. 2. The Meredith Department of Education submitted blueprint revisions to the Department of Public Instruction for review and approval of programs. "Blueprints" are the plans for the teacher education programs with an emphasis on how we assess and students demonstrate proficiency in teaching, by each teaching standard. The Department resubmitted most programs for review. 3. Annually in accordance with Title II, every teacher education program submits an IHE Performance Report. DPI recently made available the 2014-2015 reports. You can find Meredith's by following this link: IHE Performance Report 2014-15 [] 4. Also annually, DPI releases the IHE Report Card. This, too, was recently released. IHE Report Card 2014-2015 [] We have in the past received a report that shows standards 1-6 data for each program. We have not yet received this information from DPI. We have requested this report. 5. We are in the process of completing the federal Title II report. We will share data from that report when we next meet.

If you have any questions, please email! I will contact you again once we receive more information from DPI and have completed the Title II Report.

Respectfully submitted, MKDelaney
