COURSE CHANGE

ART 109 Modern Art. Modern Art is presented as the cultural episode that began with the emergence of the avant-garde in mid-nineteenth century Paris and ended in the middle of the twentieth century with WW II and the beginning of the postmodern era: from Realism, the birth of photography, and Impressionism through the high modernist movements associated with the international School of Paris, including Fauvism, Cubism, Constructivism, Dada, and Surrealism. It concludes with post-WW II expressions, including Abstract Expressionism, Happenings, and Gutai. 3 units.
Justification: The current title and catalogue description for Art 109 do not fit the course, which covers the period of modern art (modernism) from around 1850 to around 1960, not the 20 th century. The new course title and catalogue description make it clear that Art 109 is the history of Modern Art and precedes Contemporary Art 112 sequentially.
Prerequisite: Upper-division standing and Art 1B or instructor approval.

COURSE CHANGE

ART 131 Elementary School Art. Intended for Art majors or minors who are preparing for the Single Subject Teaching Credential in Art (K-12). This course provides subject matter study in art appropriate for grades 1 - 6. Students will learn the components and strands of visual arts education found in the California Visual and Performing Arts Framework, exploring five major areas: artistic perception, creative expression, historical and cultural contexts, aesthetic valuing, and the connections and relationships between the visual arts and other disciplines. 3 units.
Justification: ART 133, being designed primarily for non-majors (especially Liberal Studies and Child Development majors), is not advanced enough in its content for Art majors who already have a background in studio art, and who may be planning to pursue the Single Subject Teaching Credential in Art. A new course, ART 131, has been created specifically for this audience and will be taken by Art majors or monors instead of ART 133.
Prerequisite: Upper division status and a declared major or minor in Art; ART 020A or equivalent.

COURSE CHANGE

ART 133 Understanding and Creating Art. Intended for non-Art majors who are preparing to become elementary school teachers in California, providing subject matter study in art appropriate for grades 1 - 6. Students will learn the components and strands of visual arts education found in the California Visual and Performing Arts Framework. Students will explore five major areas: artistic perception, creative expression, historical and cultural contexts, aesthetic valuing, and the connections and relationships between the visual arts and other disciplines. 3 units.
Justification: ART 133, being designed primarily for non-majors (especially Liberal Studies and Child Development majors), is not advanced enough in its content for Art majors who already have a background in studio art, and who may be planning to pursue the Single Subject Teaching Credential in Art. A new course, ART 131, has been created specifically for this audience and will be taken by Art majors instead of ART 133. Therefore, the catalogue entry for Art 133 has to be revised slightly. The references to Art majors were removed from both the course description and the prerequisite section. Finally, because Blended Liberal Studies students, who also must take this course, are not automatically grouped with Liberal Studies students, we added them to the “prerequisite” entry.
Prerequisite: Upper division status; declared major in Child Development, Liberal Studies, or Blended Liberal Studies.

Department of Design

COURSE CHANGE

PHOTO 135 Photojournalism .Familiarizes students with the materials, techniques and approach of contemporary photojournalists in newspapers, magazines and related publications. Editorial criteria, page layout, copyright and ethics are emphasized. Photographs will be made with film or digital cameras and processed on the computer. 3 units.
Justification: By changing the class from 2 units of lab and 1 unit of lecture to 2 units of lecture and 1 unit of lab we will:•  Increase number of lecture hours (from 1 to 2) •  Reduce number of lab hours (from 4 to 2) Increased lecture discussion hours are needed to cover new assignments and additional digital material. This alteration reflects the changes in the in the field of photojournalism. Print and online publications are almost exclusively digital. Fewer lab/activity hours are needed, since class time no longer needs to be divided between digital and wet labs. Most photo students now have computers with higher end photo editing capabilities and increasing numbers are able to purchase digital cameras. This change also makes course the same as other similar digital courses in the photography program. (2 hours lecture per week, 2 hours of lab).
Prerequisite: PHOTO 040 or equivalent.

COURSE CHANGE

PHOTO 148 Artificial Light Photography . No change. 3 units.
Justification: : Purpose: Prerequisite change Current Prerequisite PHOT 141, PHOT 143A, instructor permission. Change to: Prerequisite Phot 141, Phot 138 or PHOT 143A. Allowing students to use either Photo 143A or 138 reflects changes in the materials used in Photo 148. 143A uses traditional film technology and this class now has more assignments that use digital technology, which is covered in Photo 138. This change also eliminates the need for instructor permission.
Prerequisite: Phot 141 and Phot 138 or PHOT 143A.

COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

Department of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies

NEW COURSE

EDLP 230 MA Thesis/Project Seminar. This individualized seminar is designed to extend research knowledge, and provide direction in the use of library/professional education resources, as well as exposure to sample theses and projects using APA style. Reviews research methods and a review of the literature and provides instruction in the appropriate academic writing style and format for academic presentations. CR/NC
Justification: In preparation for the completion of the master's degree culminating requirement, it has been our experience that students are less than prepared following the completion of their coursework. The lack of structure provided is a concern, as students generally are expected to begin their work on their own, with the consultation of a faculty advisor. We believe that offering a course that will focus their work on the development of at least 2 chapters of the thesis or project under the guidance of faculty will provide for them the structure they seem to need. Offering a course will require them to participate regularly in a structured environment, with the leadership and consultation of a faculty advisor in the role of instructor. It is our belief that more of our students will complete their MA degrees in a timely manner, if the beginning of their thesis/project work takes place in such an environment. This course has been previously offered as experimental course EDLP 296B.
Pre-requisite: EDLP 250 and Advancement to Candidacy.

Department of Special Education, Rehab. & School Psych.

COURSE CHANGE

Justification: The current classification for EDS 242B does not reflect the workload of the course.  EDS 242 B is a four-hour practicum in which School Psychology students do testing and write reports. The instructor prepares test demonstrations and instruction, observes live testing and videotapes, meets with students to consult on their cases and reads, edits and grades their reports. Pedagogical benefits (i.e., more direct assistance and instruction per student) determined to warrant fiscal impact.
Corequisite: EDS 242 A

COURSE CHANGE

EDS 441 Internship in School Psychology . 3 - 15 units.
Justification: Currently students enrolling in EDS 441 may sign up for 10-15 units. Students need a total of 30 units for their Pupil Personnel Services Credential, School Psychology Endorsement. Most students complete this requirement in two semesters. However, some students may choose to complete the requirement over four semesters with variable hours each semester. Therefore, we would like to change the unit designation to variable 3-15 units to accommodate these students.

Through analysis of the National Board Standards, students will be able to select a certification area, and begin to apply the standards in their own classroom practices and professional. 3 units.
Justification: While the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards credential stands as a symbol of professional teaching excellence, the certification process itself is a powerful and professional development experience. Teachers are strengthened in their practices and the beneficiaries are the students in their classrooms, their peers, and their communities. The application of knowledge from the masters program directly to classroom and professional practice, and the subsequent analysis and reflection required by the NBPTS certification process together effectively result in meaningful growth for teachers.
Prerequisite: Admission to the Master of Arts in Education (Curriculum & Instruction) and the National Board Cohort .

NEW COURSE
