**Ongoing Business** **New Business**
 * None
 * Changing course sequence for two MAT professional studies courses
 * The MAT program currently offers EDUG 703 Behavior and Classroom Management in the summer prior to the internship and EDUG 704 Leadership in Schools and Society during the internship (Fall). Based on assessment data we have collected over the last five years we are proposing switching the semesters that they are offered. Classroom management makes more sense to teach while students are in their internship classroom (Fall). And the Leadership class being offered prior to the internship (Summer) will allow them to step into the classroom with the perspective of learning how to be an educational leader. This proposal will mean changing the semester of offering the courses and removing co-requisite requirements for EDUG 704 and the Internship courses EDUG 790 and 795.
 * Health and Physical Education - changes to the major
 * 1 hour credit to the current ESS 385 Exercise Physiology course changing it to a 4 hour credit course in order to incorporate laboratory experiences into the course. The course name and number will change as follows: ESS 383: Exercise Physiology and Lab
 * Delete requirement for 1 physical education activity credit from the Health and Physical Education concentration //and the Health and Wellness concentration//.
 * ====History Department changes impacting Social Studies licensure 6-9 and 9-12====
 * The education department has completed a preliminary review of these proposed changes. To address concerns about content in early civilizations and world history we will request both HIS 102 and HIS 103 be required for licensure students.
