Approved              CLDE Credit Hour Updates            Chris Carson

  • CLDE 5820 & 5821 Methods of Teaching Multilingual Learners I & II
    • CLDE 5820 was recently changed to a variable credit course. Students enrolled in 2-credit hours in the fall, and 1-credit hour during the spring.
    • This was confusing for students, and difficult to manage for staff and faculty.
    • Adding a new course CLDE 5821, to help manage the process. Students will take CLDE 5820 (2-credits) in the fall and CLDE 5821 (1- credit) in the spring.
  • CLDE 5825 & 5826 Methods of Teaching Content for Multilingual Learners I & II
    • CLDE 5825, updating the credit hours to 2-credit hours for students to complete during the fall semester.
    • Adding a new course CLDE 5826 (1-credit hour) to manage the process. Students will enroll in CLDE 5826 during the spring semester.
    • Committee Feedback: Think about a separate syllabus for each course to make expectations and meeting dates clearer.
