COLLEGE OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Kinesiology and Health Science
|
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE Blended Physical Education Option Justification: Due to requirements mandated by the California Commission of Teacher Credentialing for the Blended Physical Education Option the Department of Kinesiology and Health Science is proposing the following programmatic change:
Blended Physical Education Program Justification: Due to the infusion of PACT and other CTC requirements for credentialing into the seminars associated with student teaching, the value of each seminar needs to be increased from 1 unit to 3 units. This increase in class units will now reflect the additional workload for both students and faculty. In order to comply with the mandated allowed unit count for a blended program, EDTE 471 A will be reduced to 5 units and EDTE 471B will be reduced to 4 units. |
COLLEGE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES & INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES
Ethnic Studies |
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE Ethnic Studies-Education Concentration Justification: Ethnic Studies proposes the addition of a new concentration (Ethnic Studies-Education) to our existing five concentrations (General Ethnic Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicana/o Studies, Native American Studies, and Pan African Studies) for our majors. A major in Ethnic Studies totals 36 units, of which 24 units are required core course and 12 units are elective courses for the concentration. The Ethnic Studies-Education concentration will also consist of 12 units. Please see page 3 of the attached proposal. According to data from our last five-year program review, it is estimated that at least half of Ethnic Studies graduates pursue careers in K-6 education. To create a direct pipeline to a teacher credential program, the Ethnic Studies Department, in cooperation with the faculty in the Bilingual Multicultural Education Department, propose the creation of this new Ethnic Studies-Education concentration that has two tracks: Prospective Teachers in Urban Settings and Prospective Teachers in Bilingual Settings.
