Note: all graduate studies proposals must include an electronic copy of the Graduate Program Policy Document, highlighting the changes made to the original policy document.

 

 

 

List new courses required for the new or revised curriculum. How do they support the overall program objectives of the major/minor/concentrations)?

 (Be aware that approval of the curriculum is dependent upon these courses successfully passing through the Course Challenge list. If there are no new courses enter “None”)

 

EDUC 879, Internship in Education already exits as a variable credit course, and students in the Administration and Policy concentration currently register for it as a 3 credit course.  If the proposed change is approved, students will register for the course as a 6 credit course, and have 3 fewer credits of elective credits.

 

Explain, when appropriate, how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/

 

N/A

 

Identify other units affected by the proposed changes:

(Attach permission from the affected units.  If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

 

No other units are affected by the proposed changes.

 

 

 

Describe the rationale for the proposed program change(s):

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

 

 .  

The Administration & Policy (A & P) concentration within the Ed.D. in Educational Leadership is a part-time practitioner-oriented doctoral program for practicing educational professionals in leadership roles in administration, curriculum, and teaching. For accreditation, the curriculum of the Ed.D. program must be aligned with national Education Leadership program standards (ELCC).  These standards have been endorsed and adopted by NCATE (the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education). The Ed.D. program’s A & P concentration confers Delaware School Leader II administrative certification.  This concentration currently requires a 3 credit Internship (EDUC 879).  This needs to be changed to 6 credits to adequately cover the hours and tasks now required by NCATE and by the State of Delaware Department of Education. The only impact is to reduce the number of electives needed by 3 credits.  This change does not apply to students in the other concentration of this major (CTHE - Curriculum, Technology and Higher Education) and there is no impact on policies, courses, or faculty of the CTHE concentration.)

 

 

 

 

Program Requirements: 

(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the Course Catalog.  If this is a revision, be sure to indicate the changes being made to the current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)
