WAVE 2 SCHEDULE (August 11, 2017 – February 19, 2018)

ARRIVALS: Aug. 11 – 17ORIENTATION: Aug. 21 -25 ESL PHASE I: Aug. 28 – Oct. 20 IMMERSION I: Oct. 23 – Dec 15 ESL PHASE II: Dec. 18 – Jan 19 IMMERSION II: Jan. 22 – Feb. 16

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTSSuccessful program completion is based on satisfactory completion of your ESL courses, the immersion experience, and Campus Friday, as well as timely submission of the three embedded projects outlined below. Satisfactory completion will require:

■ Active Engagement throughout the program. This includes coming prepared, participating in discussion and asking questions during full group sessions.

■ Weekly Communication with program staff, e.g., Program Director and Project Coordinators, ESL instructors, University Mentor, School Mentor.

■ Regular Attendance at all scheduled sessions. Participants are expected to arrive on time and stay the entirety of all scheduled sessions. If you need to be absent, please contact one of the program coordinators as soon as possible to make needed arrangements.

EMBEDDED PROJECT GUIDELINESThe Galileo-Saudi Arabia Leadership program is built on the premise that a major responsibility of school leaders -- whether they be teachers, supervisors, counselors or administrators -- is to guide others through the change process. Therefore, each participant in the Building Leadership for Change Through School Immersion program at Oakland University will complete three major projects: a Professional Learning Plan, an Educational Inquiry Project, and a School Transformation Project. Each project is designed to support your ability to lead effective change upon return to Saudi Arabia. Support for project development will come through the ESL, School Immersion and Campus Friday components of the program.Project assessment will be based on rubrics that are collaboratively designed by participants and mentors. Using these rubrics, projects will be assessed as satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Unsatisfactory projects may result in early dismissal from the program. Upon successful program completion, Building Leadership for Change Through School Immersion program completion certificates will be awarded.

Professional Learning Plan (during ESL Phase I)University Mentors will assist participants in developing an individualized Professional Learning Plan at the start of the program. This plan will serve as a foundation for the development of an Educational Inquiry Project and a School Transformation Project, and help to guide and assess professional learning activities for each participant across the 6-month program. Participants can expect to revisit their Professional Learning Plan frequently across the program during Campus Friday seminars.

Each Professional Learning Plan will include learning goals with action steps for accomplishing those goals while at Oakland University. At least one learning goal in each of three areas of work will be requested: (a) language acquisition; (b) professional development and (c) leadership development. For example, a language acquisition goal may be to become more proficient in using English for academic purposes. A professional development goal may be to develop skill in working with students who have special needs. A leadership goal may be to develop one’s ability to lead colleagues in change upon return to Saudi Arabia. To support development of the Professional Learning Plan, participants will be asked to complete the following complementary tasks.

Personal Leadership Audit: A written assessment of leadership strengths using national leadership standards for teachers and administrators as a guide. This personal assessment will be conducted at the beginning and end of the program.

Teaching, Learning & Leadership Philosophy Statement: A written statement describing “good” or effective teaching, “good” or effective learning, and “good” or effective leadership. This statement will be revisited and revised often during the course of the program.

Educational Inquiry Project (during School Immersion Phase I)Prior to the first Immersion experience, participants will be asked to design an Educational Inquiry Project of their choice. This project should reflect an area of strong interest that will support efforts to lead change upon return to Saudi Arabia. For example, one might study early literacy practices appropriate for elementary grades, or how instruction is differentiated for intermediate students with learning disabilities. One may wish to study approaches to school leadership that support high expectations for student learning, or how to lead effective professional learning for teachers.

Once an inquiry focus is identified, participants will develop a plan for getting smarter on that topic. This will include conducting research in the library, reading professional literature, observing research-based practices in the schools, interviewing experts in the field, even conducting field-based action research. Some of this research is designed to be completed during immersion, and some of it will be completed independently. University Mentors will support and coach participants on this project.

Inquiry Projects will be due at the completion of Immersion I. Final projects will be presented to the group in the form of a Poster Gallery Walk on a Campus Friday.

School Transformation Project (during School Immersion Phase II)During the second school immersion period, participants will be asked to design a School Transformation Project for implementation upon return to Saudi Arabia. Ideally, this project will build upon new learning from the inquiry investigation. For example, if the inquiry project was a study of early literacy practices, the participant may draw on new understandings to plan professional learning seminars and instructional materials for sharing what was learned with colleagues upon return to Saudi Arabia.

Projects will be completed independently; however, time will be given each Friday to get feedback from University Mentors and learning community members. School Transformation Projects will be due at the completion of Immersion II. Final projects will be presented to the group in the form of short presentations in English.

GETTING STARTED AT OU AND MAINTAINING STATUS F-1 STUDENTS

DEFINITION OF F-1 STUDENTAn F-1 student is a non-immigrant pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective, at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS).

WHAT IS AN I-20?I-20 is a U.S. government form that provides supporting information for the issuance of a student visa. This form tells the U.S. government that the applicant is eligible for F-1 student status and certifies that the applicant is or expects to be a “bona fide” student; meets admissions requirements; will pursue a full course of study, has enough money to study and live in the U.S. without working illegally or suffering from poverty.

TRAVEL SIGNATUREEvery student must have an I-20 that has been signed within the past year before traveling abroad. Before traveling, check the second page of your I-20 to see the date of the last signature. If it is close to one year bring your I-20 to the International Students and Scholars Office with proof of registration and allow at least one business day for the signature to be updated.

FULL-TIME ENROLLMENTAs an F-1 student you must be enrolled on a full-time basis. This means:

■ Undergraduate students must enroll in 12 credits ■ Graduate and Ph.D. students must enroll in eight

or nine credits depending on the program ■ There is no exception to full time enrollment in your

first semester. If you are under enrolled after the first semester it must be approved by both your academic adviser and the International Students and Scholars Office.

PROGRESS TOWARD YOUR DEGREEIt is important that you contact your academic adviser or faculty adviser regularly to make sure you are on track to graduate. To maintain status as an F-1 student you will need to demonstrate you are continuing to make academic progress toward your degree during your I-20 program and end dates.

EXTENSION OF STUDYIf you find your program end date is not adequate to complete all of your course requirements, you must get an extension of study form approved by both your academic and faculty advisers with a plan of study. You can find this form at oakland.edu/isso/forms. After the form is complete you must make a 30-minute appointment to see an adviser to update your I-20 program end date.

J-1 STUDENTS

DEFINITION OF J-1 EXCHANGE VISITORThe J Exchange Visitor category was developed to implement the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act (Fulbright-Hayes Act) of 1961. The overall purpose of the act and the objective of the Exchange Visitor category is “to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries by means of educational and cultural exchanges.”

WHAT IS A DS-2019?The Form DS-2019 or “Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor (J-1) Status” is the basic document used in the administration of the exchange visitor program. This form permits a prospective exchange visitor to seek an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate in order to obtain a J visa to enter the United States. The Form DS-2019 identifies the exchange visitor and their designated sponsor, and provides a brief description of the exchange visitor’s program, including the start and end date, category of exchange, and an estimate of the cost of the exchange program.

TRAVEL VALIDATIONTo travel outside the U.S., you must have a travel validation signature from an adviser at the International Students and Scholars Office on the DS-2019 (bottom right corner). This signature is valid for one year for multiple visits outside the U.S. or until the DS-2019 expires, whichever is first. Be sure to plan ahead and allow one business day for the ISSO to complete your travel validation.

*Note: J-1 exchange students must maintain full time enrollment.See above F-1 full time enrollment for more details.

GRIZZLY ID AND PIN Oakland University students are assigned an OU identification number called a Grizzly ID. The Grizzly ID includes the letter G followed by eight numeric characters. You’ll use it to set up your accounts and reset your passwords. You can find your Grizzly ID in your admission letter.

NETID AND PASSWORDEach OU student has a Network Identification (NetID) to access MySAIL, Moodle and email, and to log on to the University network. Directions for setting up your NetID and password are on page 5.

EMAIL AND THE INTERNET

Webmail OU Webmail, webmail.oakland.edu, allows you to access your Oakland email account from any Internet-connected computer. Much like the features of commercial email providers like Google, through Webmail you can send and receive messages, manage your email folders, check spelling and view attachments. Access Webmail with your NetID and password.

Your OU Email AccountYou are responsible for checking and reading the messages sent to your Oakland email account regularly. You will receive important information from OU via your official OU email address, including:

■ Grades ■ Student bills ■ Financial aid status ■ Schedule of classes ■ Latest news ■ Events and information


CAMPUS SAFETYOAKLAND UNIVERSITY EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEMOakland University has an emergency alert system which sends automatic text messages to your phone in the event of an emergency on campus or in the surrounding area. It also provides updates on school closures. This system provides a fast and immediate notification to you in case of an emergency. Sign up for Oakland University’s emergency alert system at oakland.edu/uts/student-services/emergencynotification.

■ Be alert. ■ Your safety depends mostly upon your own

attitude and actions. Practice common sense and avoid putting yourself in a situation likely to make you a victim of crime.

■ Report unusual activity. For police, fire or medical emergencies, contact the OU Police Department (OUPD) by calling 911 from an on-campus phone or by calling (248) 370-3331 from any other phone.

■ Use any of the blue light emergency call boxes throughout campus. Push the button to be connected directly with the OU Police Communications Center.

■ Use the buddy system. There is always safety in numbers, and at all times you should walk with someone, especially after dark.

■ Stay in well-lit areas. During the evening hours, walk along illuminated pathways. These well-lit sidewalks are frequently patrolled by the OUPD.

■ Call for an escort. The SAFEwalk program provides a visual escort while you are walking on campus. To request a SAFEwalk escort, call OUPD at (248) 370-3331 and a police officer or police service aide will respond to the area while you walk to your location.

■ Park in well-lit areas and lock your doors. ■ Keep valuables at home. If you live in University

Housing, avoid bringing unnecessary valuables to campus.

■ Always lock your doors. Whenever you leave your room for any reason, take the time to lock the door behind you.

■ Be able to positively identify your belongings. Make a list of all valuable items with model and serial numbers. Keep a copy in your room and one at home to make recovery of lost or stolen property much more likely.

■ The officers of the OU Police Department patrol the campus buildings and sidewalks on foot, and patrol the roadways and parking lots in marked patrol vehicles. Highly visible police cars and uniformed police officers deter most criminals; however, we cannot do it all. We rely on an informed public, one interested in becoming involved to deter crime and aid in the apprehension of criminals.

■ If you practice the crime prevention tips mentioned above, there is a very good chance that you will not become the victim of a crime. With your help, we can continue to keep OU one of the safest communities in Oakland County.

OTHER SAFETY TIPSIn addition to signing up for Oakland University’s emergency alert system, there are several other ways you can stay safe on campus. Here are some tips to keep in mind:


TRANSPORTATION

ON CAMPUS

RIDE THE BEAR BUSSince its inception in 2009, Oakland University’s Bear Bus shuttle program has grown to include four shuttles, and now boasts a ridership of nearly 50,000 rides per year.

Our goal is to provide the Oakland University community with a positive transportation experience through pre-determined routes that run both on and off campus. You can take comfort in knowing our exceptional staff has been trained, certified, and licensed in the driving of commercial vehicles, the handling of emergency situations, and most importantly, providing an excellent customer service experience to the OU community.

The Bear Bus has a mobile app with live tracking of the buses. This app allows you to minimize your wait time and plan your routes accordingly. Information on current routes and how to download this app is available online at oakland.edu/bearbus.

OFF CAMPUS

UBERPublic transportation in the surrounding area is limited. However, Uber is an option you can look into to take you off campus. Uber is a transportation service which provides rides around the area to help you get conveniently from one place to another. It is used in many countries around the world and is gaining popularity in Michigan. Uber drivers use their own unmarked cars to drive you to your destination.

BENEFITS OF UBER ■ You attach a credit card to your account so you never have to carry cash to use Uber ■ Uber drivers are usually on the road 24/7 for your convenience ■ Once the ride is complete, a copy of the receipt is emailed to you and stored on the app

HOW TO USE UBERTo get started register online and create an account. After the account is created you can download the Uber app on your iPhone or android. You will be asked to log in when you first open the app.

IMPORTANT TIPS ■ When Uber cars are in demand the price goes up. Before you request an Uber ride make sure you do a fare

estimate to avoid unwanted costs. ■ Uber offers different types of cars. Make sure you use the “UberX” option for the cheapest price.

RIDER SAFETYAccording to Uber’s website, all U.S drivers undergo driver background and criminal record checks. Uber cars must also meet specific standards in order to be used to pick up passengers. After the ride, the passenger rates the driver on a scale of 1-5. Uber uses this system to monitor their drivers and make sure they are providing good service. For more information, visit uber.com

PLAGIARISM AND ACADEMIC HONESTYPlagiarism is stealing. Copying someone’s work or ideas and claiming them as your own without giving proper credit to the source is plagiarism. Plagiarism is not tolerated at Oakland University. This includes:

■ Copying work from other students. ■ Copying work from published sources. ■ Copying work from the Internet. ■ Submitting multiple submissions (i.e., submitting one paper with exact or similar content for two courses

without the knowledge or consent of the instructor). ■ Accepting help from another source if not given permission to do so by your instructor.

The University’s regulations that relate to academic misconduct will be fully enforced. Any student suspected of cheating and/or plagiarism will be reported to the Dean of Students and, thereafter, to the Academic Conduct Committee for adjudication. Anyone found guilty of academic misconduct in this course may receive a course grade of 0.0, in addition to any penalty assigned by the Academic Conduct Committee. Students found guilty of academic misconduct by the Academic Conduct Committee may face suspension or permanent dismissal. The full policy on academic misconduct can be found in the General Information section of the Undergraduate Catalog.

You are here to improve your English language skills. Do not submit other people’s work as your own.

Special Considerations A student with a documented learning or physical disability must contact the Office of Disability and Support Services, 121 North Foundation Hall, (248) 370-3266, and inform the professor of special needs during the first week of classes. For more information, visit oakland.edu/dss.

OU Grading Scale Upon completion of this course, students will earn a non-numeric grade. A grade of S (Satisfactory) will be awarded to students to have earned a final grade of 2.5 or higher. For students who earn below a 2.5, a U (Unsatisfactory) grade will be given.

Electronic Usage PolicyStudents may use electronic devices (smartphones, mobile phones, computers, etc.) in the classroom upon the request of the instructor for an activity or if permission is requested and granted by the instructor. Otherwise, please silence all devices in order to provide a distraction free zone for all.

Attendance Policy (Course and Required Lab) Course Attendance Policy - You must participate in at least 85% of classes. You will fail this ESL course if you miss six (6) classes or more or if you miss two (2) or more lab sessions. In this course, you are considered absent if you are late more than 10 minutes. You must attend the entire session to receive credit for the day. No early departures are allowed. You will not receive credit for any homework or in-class assignments during your absence unless you have made arrangements in advance. If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to contact the instructor or a classmate to find out what you missed. You will be expected to be prepared for class when you return. If you must miss a class due to illness or an unexpected emergency, notify the instructor as soon as possible and provide official documentation so that an evaluation of the situation can be made on a case-by-case basis. NOTE: Just because you tell the instructor you are going to be absent does not mean that it is an excused absence.

Attendance is taken beginning the first day of the semester until the last day of scheduled classes. Absences affect academic progress. Unsatisfactory academic progress may affect your visa status.

The privilege of working together on a global scale requires complete respect and dedication to rules and protocols of communication.

To ensure the continued success of the Galileo-Saudi Arabia program, it is expected that you will agree to, and follow, the following expectation guidelines. Failure to do so may alter your participation in the program. With this knowledge, I agree to:

EXPECTATIONS AND GUIDELINES

■ Direct all communications as they arise to Ms. Lisa Staudt – [email protected] and (248) 370-2525 - regarding any questions/concerns/assignments involving the program, or may involve the program in the future. These communications will be shared with SACM as needed.

■ Direct all curriculum questions to my teachers and/or course directors – Ms. Vervinck, Dr. Carver or Dr. Klein.

■ Give full respect in all contexts to all staff, graduate assistants and faculty associated with the program, both at Oakland University and in partnering placements. If there is any disagreement, contact should be made with Ms. Lisa Staudt for further clarity and direction. There will be no disrespectful comments made in any context, including social media, the classroom, or conversation groups.

■ Respect school property at all times, including the use of materials or assigned communication outlets, such as Moodle or MySail, and use these outlets for educational purposes only as directed by my teachers and program directors.

■ Use social media responsibly, acknowledging that all content contained within media communication should reflect positively on the program, and will not be used in any way to diminish local laws or program goals. I understand I am responsible for all content.

■ Attend class as scheduled, arriving on-time. ■ Finish assignments completely and with my own

input. ■ Give full attention to program staff and content.

■ Practice professionalism both in and out of the classroom.

■ Be a curious learner and welcome all voices. ■ Work collaboratively with staff and other

participants. ■ Refrain from any, and all, activity that may infringe

upon civil or local laws, and not engage in illegal activities of any kind. I will approach Ms. Lisa Staudt for clarity and direction prior to engaging in any activity that may be questionable.

■ Respect all community outlets and venues with care and respect as representatives of Oakland University and the Saudi Arabia Cultural Mission, with an understanding of personal responsibility.

■ Discuss all travel plans with Ms. Lisa Staudt prior to making any commitment to the travel, as this could disrupt participation in the project. When traveling outside of the program, I will be mindful that I continue to be an ambassador to the Galileo-Saudi Arabia Leadership Immersion program and SACM, making decisions that will uphold this leadership role.

■ Be an active participant in given school assignments through the Immersion process by following school guidelines, collaborating with school mentors and administration, and supporting the efforts of the school curriculum and its initiatives.

■ Your attendance is expected and will be recorded during orientation and all programming, classes and activities. Orientation begins on August 21 and the last day of class is on February 16, 2018.
