Welcome.

Dean Santos de Barona welcomed everyone to the meeting. She explained that the University is introducing a new travel system with quicker turnaround and less paperwork. Our College will begin transitioning to this system soon. A number of opportunities through information and training sessions will be made available, as well as hands-on labs. This morning Mary Catherine Gaisbauer, Comptroller, will be presenting the new system’s features.

2. New Business.

A. Travel and Expense Program. Mary Catherine Gaisbauer presented the new travel and expense program:

4

The system will be available the week of January 24, 2013 and the COE will begin

transitioning in the hope of using no more paper forms by spring break. If you have already started booking a trip that is beyond the start deadline you can still

complete your reimbursement through Concour. On reimbursement of in-state travel, not requiring a Form 17, you will start with the

expense report and complete it just as you currently do for a Form 25. Are we required to use this Visa card? No, however there is a benefit to using it. You can put your frequent flyer miles information into the system. If you overspend on your per-diem the overage will be deducted from your pay; it you

do not use all that is allowed then you will be sent a direct deposit for the difference. Your full expense reports will be available for tax purposes. With regard to students, currently this program will be made available only to students

who are University employees and the system will be the same for them. These students will be issued a card.

Not all cards will be given the same spending limit. You can have the spending limit for a student set at $0 when they are not in travel status.

Dean Santos de Barona encouraged everyone to attend the upcoming trainings and open labs when they are made available.

3. Approval of Minutes of the September 7, 2012 Faculty Meeting.

Dean Santos de Barona asked for a motion to approve the minutes of the College of Education Faculty Meeting held on September 7, 2012. Teresa Taber Doughty made a motion to approve; the motion was seconded by Alberto Rodriguez; there was no discussion; the motion carried and the minutes were approved as written.

4. Introduction of New Faculty and Staff Academic Services – Sidney Moon

Cindy Blankenship, Receptionist/Secretary James Parker, Teacher Education Recruiter

Curriculum and Instruction – Deb Aldridge Gail Mills, Secretary Dean’s Area – Jennifer Jeffries Liz Sakamoto, Advancement Assistant 5. Dean’s Office Report to the Faculty

Maryann Santos de Barona The Dean talked about possible change in strategic priorities for the University under new leadership. An open letter is expected to be released soon which will announce issues that President Daniels would like the University to work on, and we will wait for that letter to be released. We do know that on several occasions President Daniels has expressed enthusiasm for making Purdue a hub for STEM education - an area that many of you are active in regardless of your primary content orientation. When the Dean looks at the many good things underway in our College she sees that many interdisciplinary efforts involving COE faculty are connected in some way to STEM activities. At our fall retreat STEM and social justice were among the topic areas most discussed in the feedback. While this is not everyone’s area of interest, STEM does touch a lot of what we are doing within the College. She believes strongly in creating opportunities that can help all faculty move forward in their specific efforts. Twenty-first century skills that employers tell us are essential to job success include effective problem solving, critical thinking, the ability to communicate clearly verbally and in writing, and the ability to understand diverse cultures in a global society. She sees this as a way for our skills, not only in STEM, to make a difference. She has done some exploring; she wanted to know if there were strong STEM school models making a difference and to get a better sense of how STEM knowledge is being used out in the real world. So, she has taken some field trips.

6

The Dean and some others in the College, including people in STEM and Literature areas, visited with Preston Middle School in Fort Collins, Colorado, a true integrative STEM school. They believe that STEM education is about social responsibility and that solutions to major world problems will occur through science and engineering. They have transformed their school and have managed to increase the amount of students who are accelerating in math. They are interested in working with us. Their logo is on the left. They have a commitment and love for research and service, along with high standards and professional collaborations. They are tele-mentoring and collaborating all over the world on projects. Sixth grade science students are focused on improving wildlife habitats, a multi-year project which has expanded students’ interest. We were approached by a Purdue astronaut about involving him with STEM educational experiences for elementary students. As part of that discussion we engaged a local 5th grade class in a Q&A with the astronaut that offered a good perspective of the children’s thinking and provided insight on how to move forward. We are in discussions about adapting the astronaut’s autobiography into a series of stories for young readers.

The Dean has spent some time with the folks at the National Flight Academy (NFA) in Pensacola. The NFA is a $45M fully immersive STEM learning environment for students in grades 7-12. It uses aviation inspired missions to simulate life on an air craft carrier. Using their science and math skills in tandem to solve humanitarian missions, successful completion requires that they learn to communicate well, work successfully in teams, and be active problem solvers; and, their cognitive and non-cognitive functioning increases. The NFA is very interested in partnering with us.

The Dean was able to join a small group of people aboard the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier. She was flown out to the aircraft carrier experiencing an “arrested landing” and a “catapult shot” take-off from the carrier. She observed several landings as well on the deck of this floating city of 5,000. See saw the crew, all with vastly different assignments, problem solving individually and as a team. She observed how communication, writing, science, math and technical skills came together to make a very important endeavor possible.

These visits reinforced her belief that our College is well situated to make significant contributions to STEM education, particularly as it relates to P-12 education. We need to work with teachers across the state in our approach. She sees that there are some pieces of the puzzle that are starting to come together. Alberto Rodriguez has visited with many of you and asked you to join in the conversation

and consider ways in which we can work across areas more purposefully in integrating language literacy and STEM education into our programs. We also need to pay attention to the growing cultural diversity of our schools.

Last semester we partnered with the Colleges of Agriculture, Engineering, Science, and Technology on a cluster hire proposal on integrative STEM teacher preparedness. The proposal requested six faculty positions to create an interdisciplinary approach to cut across content areas, make the curriculum socially relevant and culturally inclusive. The proposal asked that at least three of these be senior level hires to provide critical leadership for the initiative and enable the research, training, and engagement components to be implemented more quickly. The proposal has been generally approved and we are waiting on more details. This proposal was led by Lynn Bryan; and Brenda Capobianco, Johannes Strobel, Sidney Moon, Jim Lehman and others each had a hand in helping to shape this proposal.

As opportunities come along the Dean wants to make sure that there is space for those of you with interest to get involved, help shape initiatives, and bring your own ideas forward. She would like you to talk with her, Jim Lehman, Sidney Moon, Ala Samarapungavan, or Phil VanFossen, any of which can help bring groups together either formally or informally. Your ideas are welcomed. The Dean encourages everyone to stay informed on Statehouse issues related to education and to let your legislators know your thoughts. The College’s nominee for an honorary doctorate was approved and will be presented in May. Later in the semester we will be able to forward that honoree’s name.

8

In continuing to work on communication strategies, the Dean will try to include more frequent communications and interactions that include, but are not limited to, meeting with programs at least annually for more program-focused discussion, and she will continue holding the Breakfast with the Dean meetings. She is available for topical discussions that originate from you either individually, in small groups, or on an informal basis. She also encourages you to send important communication information to Jeff Goecker, Director of Communications, so that he can be sure we are getting the word out on the good things happing in our College.

The Dean announced that she has had wonderful Dean’s Fellows working with her. Each undertakes a project meant to further the strategic goals of the College. This morning Luciana de Oliveira will tell you about her project. At our next assembly we hope to hear from Emily Bouck who just finished her time as Dean’s Fellows.

Luciana de Oliveira thanked the Dean for the opportunity to focus on the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minority faculty. Following is her program report and guidelines for search committees:

Knupfer suggested the committee learn what is discussed at the Graduate Council Meetings regarding new courses and what is looked at beyond the department level for Form 40s.

Due to many courses migrating or adding a distance learning option, it was suggested that those faculty members who teach should have some sort of training for online teaching. J. Strobel noted that professional development courses for faculty should be encouraged at the college level. J. Hill noted that the COE should not only do this but set the bar for online training resources for teachers within the COE. S. Britsch noted that these training sessions should be readily available during a time faculty are here (not during breaks or summer).

During the next COE Faculty Meeting, the Curriculum Committee Chair will ask for further discussion regarding the push for online/distance learning and possible training for faculty for teaching online courses. Also, the Chair will ask if there are other matters the faculty would like this committee to address.

IV. Adjournment-Dr. Strobel—The meeting was adjourned at 10:54 am.

FACULTY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE – DAN SHEPARDSON, CHAIR

COE Faculty Affairs Committee Repot to the Faculty COE Faculty Meeting

April 19, 2013 The COE Faculty Affairs Committee discussed the findings of the fall faculty survey with the COE Leadership on January 9, 2013. The COE Leadership requested that the Faculty Affairs Committee conduct a follow-up survey with the faculty to identify strategies that the COE Leadership could consider implementing to address faculty concerns. The committee surveyed faculty during the week of February 1-8, 2013. A total of 19 faculty, mostly from C&I (n=15), completed the survey. The following faculty suggestions were identified by the COE Faculty Affairs Committee. The suggestions reflect the faculty responses that the committee viewed to be of importance to the COE. The committee will meet with the Dean on April 23, 2013 to discuss the findings. If a faculty member has any concerns or issues that they would like the COE Faculty Affairs Committee to present to the Dean, they should contact a committee member prior to the April 23 meeting. Respectfully, COE Faculty Affairs Committee:

Dan Shepardson, Chair Deborah Bennett Signe Kastberg Eric Mann JoAnn Phillion (sabbatical)

Administration Liaison:

Associate Dean Jim Lehman

Faculty Issues Faculty Suggestions COE Vision Create college change team including external reps to focus on designing vision

and more nimbly responding to change. Should be core committee, supported with resources to fuel participation and engagement. Continue to provide opportunities for small groups of faculty about the big themes of last fall’s retreat. Visioning meetings at the end (last hour) of COE faculty meetings. Town hall meeting to discuss issues & future directions. Have volunteer faculty across departments work together in teams to develop recommendations for updates to current vision, goals and POA.

Transparency/ Decision making

Use various groups of faculty to explore existing vision, plans, and goals including existing committees, focus groups, task forces, and volunteers. Implement town hall meetings or in conjunction with COE meeting to discuss issues and to obtain faculty feedback.

18

Develop an action plan including a process for systematic review and revision of the plan or developing a plan for implementing existing plans. Ask faculty or groups of faculty to consider reviewing existing planning documents and make suggestions for updates. Vision, plan, and goals should reflect all programs; goals should align with COEs in the Big Ten and beyond, go beyond the state of Indiana, vision for supporting faculty to obtain external grants.

Communication

Improved access to information – inform faculty, share our role, open office hours, visibility, engage faculty. Greater visibility into COE follow-through actions, e.g. the fall retreat was mentioned as was the Dean’s trip to Colorado. Faulty appear to be looking for more than what has been done and would like insight into purpose, progress, and direction. Regular and frequent (weekly to monthly) email updates from the Dean’s office.

Visibility

Meet with program areas, attend departmental meetings, connect with faculty research/teaching/engagement activities—to better understand what faculty are doing. Have regular, informal “coffee” hours. More community events (e.g., speakers/movies) and faculty/student showcases. Better (clearer) involvement at all levels—University, state, local.

Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) The Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation is the new accreditor for educator preparation, resulting from the merger of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC). The new draft standards can be found at: http://caepnet.org/commission/standards/. Hopefully, you were able to provide feedback on these standards during the public comment period that ended March 29, 2013. Finalized and approved standards are expected to be released in January 2014. Teacher Education Program Reviews Congratulations to the faculty of programs that recently received national recognition by their Specialized Professional Associations (SPAs)! These programs are Elementary Education, Educational Leadership (building level), High Ability, Physical Education, Mathematics Education, and English Language Learning. State Rules for Educator Preparation and Accountability (REPA) and State Standards Please be sure that your teacher education programs align to REPA (http://www.doe.in.gov/improvement/educator-effectiveness/repa) and state standards (http://www.doe.in.gov/improvement/educator-effectiveness/repa-teacher-standards). Also, although REPA 2 was approved by the State Board of Education, the proposed rule was not approved and signed by the promulgation deadline. Therefore, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) will continue to operate under REPA until it is replaced by new rules at a future date. You are encouraged to participate in the public hearing and public comment period during the promulgation process, which most likely will occur mid to late summer. Information will be sent via the various distribution lists as it is announced. New Licensure Tests and Transition As a reminder, state tests are in the process of change and transition. The IDOE will be transitioning over the next few months from the Praxis I and II series tests to new basic skills, content, and pedagogy assessments developed by Pearson. Pearson “assessment blueprints” are available at: http://www.in.nesinc.com/prepare.asp The first available Pearson test is the CORE Academic Skills Assessment (CASA) basic skills assessment. CASA test administration begins July 1, 2013; the registration site will open May 1, 2013. Additional details have and will be sent via the various distribution lists. Also, there is a possibility that the Pearson pedagogy and content assessments may not take effect on September 1, 2013, although pilot testing is occurring. Information will be sent via distribution lists as details become available.
