NCATE Conceptual Framework Task
Force Report
The Conceptual Framework Task
force will initiate a self-study to determine faculty awareness
of the Conceptual Framework and the integration of the four
components of the Effective Educator in courses taught
throughout the college. A Conceptual Framework Checkup was
designed for all COEHD faculty to complete at the end of the
Spring, 2003, semester. (See attached copy of the survey.)
The Conceptual
Framework Checkup was introduced to and approved by the COEHD
Dean, Assistant Dean, Department Heads, and the Center for
Educational Services and Research. The NCATE Standards Task
Force leaders and the Conceptual Framework Task Force Committee
members piloted the survey. Suggestions and comments were
incorporated into the form, and it was sent to the entire COEHD
faculty.
Results will be
aggregated and appropriate modifications will be introduced by
the Conceptual Framework Task Force to the NCATE Task Force
leaders during the fall, 2003, semester.
