AACTE Publishes New Principles for Accreditation

AACTE Board of Directors has

made a great effort to produce a

document titled, Principles for

National Accreditation in

Educator Preparation, to guide discussions among

educators and other stakeholders about the role of

accreditation in serving the public purposes of education.

A key part of the preamble reads “AACTE affirms the

importance of accreditation, particularly its role in

assuring that the preparation of professional educators

ultimately serves the interests and learning of PK-12

students.”

The principles are:

THE QUALITY PRINCIPLE: Accreditation Improves the Quality of Education

THE EVIDENCE PRINCIPLE: Accreditation Is Grounded in Evidence of Effectiveness/Graduate Quality

THE CONSENSUS PRINCIPLE: Accreditation Reflects Consensus on Best Practices

THE SERVICE PRINCIPLE: The Accreditation Process Is Transparent and in Service to the Profession and the Public

Ed. Leadership Student Leads a Local Chamber of Commerce

Kari Whaley, Ed. D. in

Educational Leadership

Executive Track candidate, was

recruited to be the new CEO and

President of the St. Cloud

Chamber of Commerce. For her

first chamber meeting the

speaker will be Debra Pace, (Exec. Ed.D., ’15),

Osceola School District superintendent.

Kari's research is a study of doctoral candidates'

and recent graduates' perceptions of the

supervision they received while in their doctoral

program. Participants are from across the US and

across disciplines including education, health, and

business to name a few. Her results will be the US

survey portion of the international study that

Thomas Vitale, Colton Tapoler, and Rosemarye

Taylor are conducting.

2016 Has Been a Busy Curriculum Season for STLL Last week STLL announced two successes in the

curriculum area. The long effort to revise the B.S.

in Elementary Education was approved by UPCC,

and the MAT in Art Education was reactivated by

Graduate Council. These were important

milestones in the continuing effort by faculty to

provide student with high quality programs, yet

those efforts are not the only ones put forward by

faculty.

Here is a scorecard of other STLL curriculum

efforts:

The M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction

revision will be considered by the CEDHP

Graduate Curriculum Committee.

The M.Ed. in Mathematics Education is being

renamed to Secondary Education, Tracks in

Mathematics Education, Science Education,

Social Studies Education, and English/

Language Arts Education are being added, and

the curriculum is being revised.

The B.S. in Physical Education is being

administratively reactivated. With approval of

VP Elizabeth Dooley the program will begin

accepting students fall 2017.

The Urban Education Graduate Certificate

program is being revised and the name

changed to “Supporting High Needs

Populations.”

The College of Arts and Humanities and

CEDHP are negotiating a transfer of the

Graduate Certificate in ESOL to CEDHP.

Math Ed. Grad Wins 2017 AMTE Early Career Award

Dr. Jennifer M. Tobias (Ph.D. ’08),

Associate Professor of

Mathematics Education at Illinois

State University, is the recipient

of the 2017 Early Career Award.

Dr. Tobias' research focuses on

prospective teachers’ content

knowledge and the development of that

knowledge. Her research has been published in the

Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, Journal

of Mathematical Behavior, Investigations in

Mathematics Learning, and International Journal

for Mathematics Teaching and Learning. Her

practitioner work has been published in Teaching

Children Mathematics, Mathematics Teaching in

the Middle School, and Mathematics Teacher. Her

book (Leading the Change: Making Sense of

Mathematics for Teaching Grade 3 – 5, co-

authored with Juli Dixon, Ed Nolan, Thomasenia

Adams, and Guy Barmoha) was published by

Solution Tree in 2016.

Jennifer is committed to the continual

development of teaching and research practices in

mathematics education through her work with

colleagues and graduate students at Illinois State

University and colleagues across the country.

and undergraduate students come together to

present and discuss their work with a broad

audience that crosses disciplines, professions,

origins, and walks of life.

The 12th Annual conference theme, From Social

Problems to Social Promise highlights the role of

research in addressing current social inequalities,

cultivating a sense of hope, and providing more

equitable solutions for the future. We are excited

to announce this year’s keynote speaker,

renowned public speaker, Dr. Victor Rios,

Professor of Sociology at the University of

(Math Ed. Grad Wins 2017 AMTE Early Career Award
