4. Dean’s Report to the Faculty

Recent US News and World Report for college of education online programs ranked us 35th out of 278 college and universities, up from 41st last year. This is significant as both programs are pretty new in terms of the online business and they have steadily risen each year; their enrollment is also robust in both programs. NCTQ ranked our elementary education program in the 99th percentile, only 11 other programs nationally were ranked at that level with 900 programs evaluated. The universities were not listed alphabetically and Purdue was listed at the top. We have expressed concerns about NCTQ as an organization, their motives and their methodology. They have picked up traction politically and they have a huge media platform so it is not bad for us to have their ranking.

Enrollments: as of Monday our undergrad numbers have improved in terms of applications, admits and accepts. Applications are up 21.5%, we have 429 that have applied and 268 have been admitted, up 17% over last year; those that have accepted are up by 25% compared to last year. 45 have accepted to date compared to 36 last year, we have a way to go but this seems to be a good positive trend. We would love to have an incoming class of at least 130. The admissions office is predicting a decline per their statistical equation they use each year. We have found over the last couple years we have exceeded their projections. We are exceeding last year because we have a lot of folks focusing their attention in connecting with

kids that have been accepted. Nicole Wilson and Stephanie Ross, along with our advisors, are very active on campus as well as off campus. In terms of graduate students it is too soon to know as they are just reviewing applications now and probably won’t know until summer.

Summer School – the college opted in for the conditional .5% by committing to increase student enrollment for this year. Each department has been asked to increase our offerings for this summer to be able to satisfy our commitment, if we don’t, it is possible this might impact future raises. Our target goal for this summer is slightly over 3600 SCH which is about a 5.5 % over last year. The dean asked the faculty to encourage participation from their students. The department heads have lists of courses that are being offered in each department for the summer and they will be posting them on the website also. Anything you can do to encourage your students to participate this summer will go a long way to helping us meet our goals.

Education at the state and federal levels - January brings a flurry of activity with the legislature being in session. House Bill 1383 requires rules be adopted to require elementary school teachers to specialize in a specific content area. If passed it would take effect in 2021. It is not clear as to what is meant by specialized but in discussions it seems that it could mean requiring a primary degree in a content area to requiring a content major. The bill is being proposed by Representative Bob Behning, Chair of House Education Committee and Director for External Affairs for Educators College at Marion University. This is what Marion University to planning to do and the thought seems to be to impose this on all teacher education programs. The bill will impact our elementary education and require changes in what we do and how we do it. It if is passed it will remove the elementary generalist degree, it has the potential to impact the 120 credit hour cap which will require a lot of restructuring. It would also impact the transfer of credit from other institutions; our single transfer articulation pathway would also be impacted. It would also have some potential impact on licensure reciprocity. It would limit the mobility and transferability of our teachers to go outside Indiana and limit those coming into our state. Our students and all students in the state have to pass four Pearson content tests already: reading and language arts, math, a test in science, health and pe, and a fourth in social studies

and fine arts. The dean spoke to the local superintendents and all do not see this as providing an advantage to their children. State Superintendents do not support it either. Other university deans share our concerns. The university’s liaison has met with Bob Behning and communicated our concerns. IACTE meeting is taking place today and this will be a discussion there also. We are hoping this will scrap the bill or at least make some serious modifications. The dean encouraged everyone to contact members of the House Education Committee.

Federal level. ESSA regulations were supposed to take effect on 1/30. These regulations detail how the state accountability plans will work and as well as the process states need to follow for submitting their accountability plans. Last Friday an executive order delayed ESSA for 60 days, this could impact the first deadline for states to submit their accountability plans which are due 4/3. It is unclear what will happen after that 60 days. Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education, in her confirmation hearing would not commit to keeping the accountability regulations in their present form. There is an option called the Congressional Review Act for scrapping a set of regulations. If that occurs the Executive Branch is prohibited from issuing a similar set of regulations until a new law is passed. ESSA is not set to be reauthorized until 2020. As we have seen in the previous elementary and secondary act they tend to stay on the books a lot longer. It is likely things might be delayed quite a bit longer. Regarding the Secretary of Education’s confirmation. As everyone has probably already formed their own opinion of the nominee’s qualifications to serve in this role, the dean encouraged everyone to exercise their right as citizens and as education professionals to participate in that process as you see fit. The vote is scheduled to take place 1/31, it is critical you voice your opinion. Many college of education deans have signed a letter in support of public education in this country. Budget and Right-sizing. The dean has been working with central administration for quite a few months. The process was shared at the fall retreat and in an email several weeks ago and it continues to pose operational challenges for the college. Central administration is reviewing the number of faculty in each college to make sure from the university-wide perspective that faculty resources are allocated in areas of highest demand. Their assessment includes looking at metrics including enrollments, SCH production both as a college as well as SCH per faculty

member, looking at sponsored program revenue and other measures of productivity. Based on that assessment the central administration is establishing new baseline numbers for faculty FTE in each college. We have not received our final FTE target but all signs point to our new baseline being all current faculty positions we have now plus the five we have been authorized to launch this year and are currently underway. We will be returning to the provost’s office all unfilled faculty lines – 11 FTE – and the money associated with these lines. The lines for any open positions in any program area that are not part of this year’s searches will go away. We have been told it is possible they could return in the future. The right-sizing activity is going to be reducing the amount of discretionary funds in the college. In the past those dollars have been put to good use. The Launch the Future seed grants came from those lines which is the reason there has been no call for them this year. These dollars were used for grad student support also. We will have to undergo some belt tightening, this is the area we are most vulnerable. When we had dollars available we could backfill departments that exceeded their annual grad student allocation. Because of the reduction in discretionary dollars we will have to discontinue the “college of education overdraft program”. The dean has been looking at graduate student allocations and is realistically updating each department’s budget so the heads can cover their TA needs and their other multi-year commitments. We are also providing the heads with an improved tracking mechanism to be able to track grad student expenditures and the dollars available with them so they always know where they are. It will outline the kind of information needed for hiring and moving forward. This also means departments will have to make decisions about prioritizing grad hires. It will be unlikely that the college will be able to step in and provide more than is included in the departmental budget. As student credit hours and enrollments are of increasing importance because of how program productivity is being measured on campus these days, the teaching assistantships to help cover course needs will need to be among the priorities as should multi-year commitments. It will be up to heads as to how they spend their dollars allocated for grad students. This has been weighing heavily on the dean over the past several months and she has spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to minimize the impact and is continuing to work on that. Grad student support is critical for us, it affects everything we do. Our faculty productivity, our reach in the field, etc. We will continue to work on ways to increase but we will have to be careful about how we do hires in that particular area. The dean has had multiple face-to-face conversations with the provost. Among the arguments raised is the clinical nature of our work which is critical to the preparation of our students, and the fact that our students are highly sought after in any program as being recognized for being well prepared, but that has not had much traction. To balance this out we need to be opportunistic about our enrollments and we need to look at how we can attract students from other colleges as well. At the undergrad level the counseling psychology folks have done a great job with their collaborative leadership certificate. They have been able to get additional funding from the provost’s office, funding 22 sections of the certificate program. At the graduate level, the measurement courses are taken by students all over the university.

Everyone is encouraged to think about ways we can identify more possibilities and think about how we can use this as an impetus to extend our visibility and extend our reach. We have five searches underway with one filled. We will be reposting some and are still interviewing for some. Phil VanFossen has been flexible with his time and gracious in assisting us and postponing his return to the faculty. It has been the dean’s intention to launch an external search for this associate dean for learning position but despite several face-to-face attempts no approval to do so has been received at this point. She will be putting out a call of an internal search for this position soon. Regarding the early faculty retirement incentive positions outlined in a recent memo, we will be able to keep those positions, they will not be reverting back to the provost. We will not lose existing lines, it’s the vacant lines from the past year we are concerned about.

Our awards for this year stand at $6.7M which is the highest we have ever had and we have the opportunity for more because we go until June. We are on pace for a typical number of submissions. External funding is one of the ways we can get resources for things like our grad students. The university encourages us to ramp up in this area so we can support our grad students through grad activities.

A change is coming from the Pre-Award Office. They are going to be setting firmer deadlines for submitting proposals to their office than in the past. They have a set of services they provide and they will guarantee they will provide their services if we meet their deadlines. If we fail to meet their deadlines there is no guarantee they can provide those services. Across campus there are a number of proposals that come in at the last minute. They have 2% of submissions campus-wide that come in on the day they are due. The new guidelines are: initial contact with the office should be 15 business days before, they would like to have the final budget draft of the proposal a week in advance and all submission materials in their hands 8 hours in advance on day they are due. Some faculty have experienced problems with their office caused by last minute proposals which were moved up in the queue. They are trying to clean up that problem by setting these parameters.

There has been a discussion about graduate majors for the last year. The graduate council has now approved for all departments to have graduate majors, up until now our graduate majors have been just our departments. There is a degree in C & I and in EDST, the graduate school is offering us the opportunity to convert concentrations to majors. The upside is if we convert concentrations to graduate majors, they will now show up in the application system, SLATE. Right now the only thing that shows up is EDCI and EDST. If they want to study educational psychology, students would have to know it is in EDST and many times students pick the wrong department. All majors showing up would be an advantage. The graduate school thinks it would be easier to track our numbers.

The downside would be that majors would have more visibility on the outside but also at HOVD which might have them asking why we are running a program for just a few students. We don’t have to make this change. If we are going to move on this we would need to do it before the end of semester for an expedited process to save us some work. They are asking faculty to discuss this with your program areas and discuss if it would be an advantage, then communicate it back to your graduate committees who will then relay the thoughts to the graduate studies leadership team.

University Accreditation The Higher Learning Commission which is the university’s accreditation body is coming back in 2020 so the university is gearing up again for HLC accreditation. They are starting to assemble data in their new data system. They would like to have 3 years of data so we will need to start accumulating data again. The grad school is considering a change to all graduate exam forms. During the last accreditation visit the grad school came up with five graduate criteria for the whole campus. They are looking at adding a rubric based on those five criteria to all prelim and final exam forms. This may be implemented before the end of this year so we can start collecting data campus wide. Fellowships Today is deadline to get fellowship nominations in. Dr. Lehman impressed on everyone that in the past we have had the tendency to pass the buck and say the department will pick them up after central funding wears out. Faculty need to take this into consideration when offering fellowships, the department will not be able to assist. They must consider what will happen to the student when funding runs out. Most of the fellowships we offer have only one or two years of central funding, the college is responsible for the rest. Consider if you have a grant they could work with, is there something they can teach, consider what they could do since we don’t have a pool of money to support them.

Next Power Friday is February 3. Virtual speaker, Gloria Ladson-Billings, University of Wisconsin Madison is the guest speaker. We have 1 student in our poster session and there will be two faculty colloquia. The theme is focused on diversity and social justice for this session.

Draft SPA reports are due 2/17 and we seem to be in very good shape in terms of our own accreditation. Teacher Ed reform activities – there have been a number of meetings looking at our own teacher education programs, reviewing and proposing changes relative to that. Rick Olenchak, Janet Alsup, Mandy Rispoli, Rachel Kenny, and Melanie Shoffner met during the summer to propose a new draft program. The draft has been shared at the PCC retreat, with the Teacher Education Council and the teacher education advisory board. Decisions have been made in how to move forward with the entire process. They will meet with the Foundations committee to talk about next steps, where there are overlaps with the proposal relative to what we are doing now. We are still in communications with the heads regarding faculty load, co-teaching, assignments, etc.

5. Reports of Standing Committees

D. Faculty Affairs Committee, J. Lysaker, Co-Chair

FYI - Faculty Affairs Committee reports are posted on the SharePoint site if anyone would like to keep up with what they are doing. Also, there will soon be a call for a college-wide writing program.

The FAC has been working on a few things focused on social justice and diversity issues. They have sponsored a set of talks regarding difficult conversations and how to talk to students about diversity and social justice issues and conversations for underrepresented faculty. They seemed to go very well and want to continue having them. They are small and intimate and people are encouraged to talk about things but they need more faculty involved. The committee felt it would be useful to weave more of these conversations into faculty life. One of their ideas is to take a portion of the fall faculty retreat to pursue some of these things being talked about, things that are relevant to faculty. The question was asked as to how we would spend the time at the faculty retreat. There will be a Qualtrics survey for more information.

Suggestions from the faculty:

-Small group conversations around scenario to talk to each other about.

-Conversation about if our strand of social justice is actually infused in our existing curriculum and in our courses.

-Could take recommendations from task force and work on some of them.

E. Curriculum Committee *, Youli Mantzicopoulos, Chair EDCI/EDPS45100 Global Studies Seminar-Undergrad EDCI53900 Introduction to K-12 Stem Integration EDCI55700 Assessment of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students EDCI55800 Integrated STEM Education Methods – Secondary EDCI62100 Technology for Qualitative Research EDPS6XXXX Career Assessment Practicum The Curriculum Committee had several new courses to bring forth to the faculty for approval. EDCI/EDPS45100 - Eric Deemer moved to approve this course with a second by Alberto Rodriguez. There was no discussion and the motion passed unanimously. EDCI53900 and EDCI55800 courses are related Jim Lehman made a motion to approve both courses with a second by David Sears. There was no discussion and the motion passed unanimously. EDCI55700 – Alberto Rodriguez made a motion to approve this course, second Susan Britsch, there was no discussion and the motion passed unanimously. EDCI62100 – Bill Watson made a motion to approve this course with a second by Alberto Rodriguez, there was no discussion and the motion passed unanimously. EDPS6XXXX – Anne Traynor made a motion to approve this course with a second by Jim Lehman, there was no discussion and the motion passed unanimously.

6. Updates

A. Diversity Committee – Denise Whitford, Chair The committee wanted to update everyone on the Task Force Report from 2015 which included improving diversity and social justice in our college.

They have been working on recommendations in the report. There are three big moves in the report, one for discovery, one for learning and one for engagement. The big moves were broken down into short term, mid-term and long term recommendations.

-Revive the Equity & Diversity Committee which has been done. -Explore development of partnerships with existing centers at Purdue which is ongoing. There are a lot of informal partnerships happening but are not documented anywhere. The committee would like to know of any the faculty are working on to in order to form a formal network. -The committee organized a list of priorities and one was to separate the two areas of graduate certificate in social justice and diversity and an undergraduate minor in the same thing. The problem is they need assistance and money to start the process.

-For the development of a social justice speaker series, they partnered with Dr. Lehman and the Power Friday series. They would like suggestions for establishing a series. -Faculty Forum on social justice issues was held at the faculty retreat with speaker Sonia Nieto. Much more needs to be done. -The committee would like to develop a social justice and diversity award and are working to provide one annual award for faculty, one for students and possibly one for staff. They discussed the idea with Dr. Lehman and the leadership team will discuss it. -They are looking at a yearly community activity. One suggestion was an event such as a 5K walk/run and money collected to be given to groups that work with social justice and diversity issues.

They have no progress on the long-term recommendations at this time. The committee is in need of people and money to support the ideas. The faculty were encouraged to attend the next meeting on 2/21 at 3:30 in BRNG 3123.

There was a request for specifics on the needs and how faculty can help. There are smaller groups working on issues but they would need coordination to be of assistance. A lot of the recommendations take time and/or the funds to make them happen. The committee would really like to have a point person from the leadership, the committee can’t do it all. The committee feels like they need someone with the whole college lay of the land to provide support and guidance. The committee is at the point of turning some of the recommendations back to leadership because they don’t have resources to do some of these things. There was a suggestion to look at modeling other colleges. It was commented that the undergraduate minor is well worth following up on and that if we have to make a choice that is where we get the most bang for our buck. Anywhere we can generate/increase student credit hours will help the college. There is a new trial course in C & I being taught; anti-oppression and activism course created to respond the new political climate. The have 13 students enrolled at all levels of their education. The students want to be active, not just hear about these issues. 285 has a multicultural action project in support of helping students with their presentations in poster fairs. This could be another space to recruit undergrads who are in multicultural classes already.

Last year the provost set aside $1M for funding university diversity efforts, there will be a second call for proposals in the next couple weeks. This could be an opportunity for pulling together some of these ideas. There is a lot of interest across campus for a graduate certificate. The Center for Instruction Excellence hired Dr. Cooperman who spoke with Joan Phillion regarding workshops for faculty and grad students that would fit in a portion of the graduate social justice and diversity certificate. The CIE is willing to support and work with the group. Jim Lehman will organize a meeting to talk about the graduate certificate.

7. New Business

B. Day of Giving – Chrissie Ankerberg This year’s Purdue Day of Giving will be Wednesday, Apr 26. We will be partnering with Vinton Elementary with a read-a-thon from 8:30 to 2:30. We want to make the day about giving back to the community. Faculty were encouraged to think about how to get their students to participate. She will be talking with the student organizations about possibly setting up some friendly competitions. Everyone was also encouraged to consider how they might be a part by volunteering and by financial support.

8. Adjournment Motion was made by Youli Mantzicopoulos with a second by Eric Deemer to adjourn the meeting. There was no discussion. Motion carried unanimously. *Action Item

COE OPEN HOUSE On March 27th the College of Education held an Open House for Summer and Fall 2017 admits and those in the process of applying and being admitted. Eight prospective students (7 doctoral and 1 master’s) attended a general information session and then met with program areas. The individuals spent part of the afternoon at the Annual Graduate Student Education Research Symposium. Thank you to those who participated, including the current student panel comprised of Temitope Adeoye, Horane Holgate, Tingxuan Li, and Jeffrey Radloff. Special thanks to Amanda Goodwin Bowman and Heather Brinkman for organizing the event. GRADUATE STUDENT APPRECIATION WEEK The Office of Graduate Studies (OGS) hosted a donut and coffee walk-in session for current students on April 7th. Students met OGS staff and asked questions pertaining to their studies while enjoying some refreshments. CERTIFICATION Please keep your certifications valid. This includes FERPA and Protecting Social Security Numbers for Slate application access. When certifications are soon to expire, email reminders will be sent to you from the University. If your certifications expires, there is no problem with renewing; however, please let Amanda Goodwin Bowman know when you renew so that the office can inform the Graduate School. Usually, once one of the above certifications expire, your access to the Slate application system is deactivated, and the Graduate School must be notified by our office to reactivate it. You can view your certification status here. GRADUATE STUDENT ANNUAL REVIEWS As a reminder, annual reviews of all degree-seeking students (those admitted for Spring ’17 and those graduating in May are exempt for this year) are due by May 31st. Once students have been reviewed, please send a copy (electronic or hard copy) of the written feedback to the Office of Graduate Studies. DOCTORAL VITAE Faculty are reminded that the Office of Graduate Studies is collecting vitae of COE doctoral students. For faculty to review vitae, please go to https://acad.education.purdue.edu/eduacad/ogs/vitae/default.aspx and sign in with your career account. Click the appropriate department and concentration. SUMMER REGISTRATION As a reminder, graduate students who are conducting research or writing theses/dissertations this summer should be appropriately registered for 69800/69900. Research hour registration covers all the summer modules, so registration for 69800 or 69900 hours should be completed by May 15th in order for students to avoid a late registration fee. Also, graduate students holding graduate staff appointments must be registered for at least three credits during the summer.
