Much of this will be accomplished through our participation in the Lab Schools Advisory Board and Curriculum Committee, as well as, through a continuation of the piloted position of a Education Department Curricular Liaison.
Complete our JRTEP program review by reviewing collected data and bringing in outside evaluators and coordinating with SUNY-wide efforts in the areas of student mobility and transfer paths.
Revise our Early Childhood Course SLO’s to be more in line with our program SLO’s and the NAEYC program standards.
Based on the program review of our Early Childhood program, which will be complete by September 2013, begin to create and implement a plan for our direction over the next few years.
Pursue articulation with Newburgh Free Academy’s Child Care CTEC program.
Continue to investigate the possibility of having an Education Department office suite in which faculty and the administrative assistant could have neighboring office space with privacy for the chair and instructors, as well as an area within or nearby for education students to study, use resources and work on hands-on projects together.
