| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | By definition, Lab Schools are traditionally supervised or run in association with the affiliated college's Education Department. However at SUNY Orange, the Senior Director who oversees both Lab School Directors is supervised by the Executive Director of the College Association and there are few formal connections between the Education Department and Lab School. We would like to establish a formal connection by placing this already established position under the purview of our department. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | If a formal connection is not established between the Education Department and the Lab School the Lab School could potentially develop policies, practices, programs and curricula which do not reflect the most current research-based ideas in early childhood education. It is crucial for our early childhood students to have a model of the highest quality care, as we place them in the Lab School for observations and hands-on Field experiences. If the Senior Director was a member of our department, partnership would be inevitable as this leader could teach one of our classes, attend our meetings, attend conferences, take part in department discussions, and be supervised by the Department Chair. This reorganization would also allow our department to take an active role in programmatic and curricular decisions, search committees, professional development, and center events. |
