The
Professional Education Unit is made up of the faculty
and administrators from schools and departments who
coordinate teacher education programs for both initial
and advanced programs. The professional education
unit is an advisory body. The Seidel School of
Education and Professional Studies provides information
about changes in teacher education policies and
accreditation demands to programs who host teacher
education candidates in the Henson School of Science and
Technology and the Fulton School of Liberal Arts.
Teacher Education Council
The Teacher
Education Council facilitates collaboration
with colleagues across departments and schools on
campus. Programs in the unit are organized and coordinated through the
Teacher Education Council (TEC), chaired by the Associate Dean. This
council facilitates interaction between the Seidel School
of Education and Professional Studies,
the Henson School for Science and Technology
and Fulton School of Liberal Arts. TEC
has authority to approve policy and changes to
professional education curriculum. TEC serves as an advisory board
for all issues related to teacher education. Membership consists of a
representative from each teacher education
program, the NCATE Coordinator, Coordinator of
Field Experiences, PDS Coordinator, school deans and
department chairs, and the Seidel Advising Coordinator.
The Teacher Education Council (TEC) is governed by the
TEC Constitution and Bylaws. TEC minutes
and annual report document the council's business.
