    Dennis DeBay – STEM EdD Concentration & MSEd<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Streamline the Doctoral program process<\/li>\n
    • Alot of our students are looking for STEM ED experience not just Math or science etc…<\/li>\n
    • Looking at how to build courses to be more STEM focused.<\/li>\n
    • Joined- STEM and LDT students- to bring T part of STEM in.<\/li>\n
    • It\u2019s primarily been Math and Science for 13 years, but we are wanting to consider bringing the Tech side together with Math and science.<\/li>\n
    • LDT and STEM Ed groups will still come in to be separate but will collaborate where we see fit.<\/li>\n
    • Concentration name- STEM Ed.<\/li>\n
    • Next admissions group will come in as STEM Ed, Math and Science will be taught out.<\/li>\n
    • THERE WILL STILL BE TWO DIFFERENT DEGREES AT THE END (STEM ED & LDT)<\/li>\n
    • MSEd enrollment numbers are declining. Remove from the catalog and application. We may want to rebrand at a different time, do not fully discontinue at this point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      VOTE – Approved<\/strong><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Andrea Laser- ECE_ECSE Dual Licensure<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Currently ECE offers Maser degree. As a requirement to license, we need to map standards for CDE across diff tabs (ECE and another ECE). Already mapping standards to ECE Tab- why aren’t students coming out with additional endorsement.<\/li>\n
      • Talked to CDE- Apply for DUAL endorsement. Submitted in May. Approved in June by CDE.<\/li>\n
      • Students have asked for this over time- will attract more students because of dual endorsement. Adds a selling point.<\/li>\n
      • UCCS and UNC also have this dual endorsement.<\/li>\n
      • Also looking towards Special Ed endorsement at UG level (coming soon).<\/li>\n
      • Sent the proposal to program leaders over the Summer- Did not hear anything back.<\/li>\n
      • Wondering if program leaders\/CC should come before submission to CDE?<\/li>\n
      • Committee discussed the process of coming to CC\/Program leaders before CDE (ADD TO FORM IF CDE NEEDS TO BE INVOLVED)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        VOTE \u2013 Approved<\/strong><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Jorge Chavez & Jung-In Kim – LDFS Learning Concentration<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • LDFS masters program<\/li>\n
        • HDFR learning concentration- Jung-In leading<\/li>\n
        • Accessibility study- After a google search for the program and specialty concentration- found that it was hard to locate.<\/li>\n
        • 2019 name changed to LDFS<\/li>\n
        • Human learning concentration- few applications<\/li>\n
        • Terminology- Education Psychology used more than Learning Sciences (admin supported Education Psychology and Learning Sciences)<\/li>\n
        • Programs that use Education Psychology have more robust enrollments<\/li>\n
        • Completed due diligence to avoid overlapping with other programs.<\/li>\n
        • Next steps- Shakira will work on getting a new code and getting into the catalog<\/li>\n
        • Name change makes sense even in context of several previous name changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
