a.
Rationale for creation, revision, or
deletion:
We wish to make two changes to the
required courses for the Educational Studies minor:
1.
We wish to delete EDUC 413 Educational Psychology
Social Aspect and replace it with EDUC 230: Introduction to Exceptional
Children.
2.
Because EDUC 202, now a part of this minor, is being
changed by the department to EDUC 205, we must change this course number in the
catalog.
The reason for dropping EDUC 413 is
that it is designed for secondary education majors who wish to teach academic
disciplines in a secondary school. The course also includes an extended
clinical experience in a secondary school, for which it is difficult to find
placements. Furthermore, about 90% of the EDS minors have psychology as their
major, and do not need more psychology. If they do, EDUC 205: Human
Development: Grades K-8 is still available for them as an option.
We believe EDUC 230, introduction to
Exceptional Children, will provide new information about children with
disabilities unavailable to current EDS minors, which is particularly
appropriate for the many students in the minor who go on to obtain graduate
degrees in school counseling or school psychology. The small number of
Educational Studies minors will not significantly impact the large enrollment
EDUC 230.
The
There are no changes to the other 4
course requirements.

EDUC 258 Cultural Diversity, Schooling and the
