List new courses required for the new or revised curriculum:

(Be aware that approval of the curriculum is dependent upon these courses successfully passing through the Course Challenge list. If there are no new courses enter “None”)

None

Other affected units:

(List other departments affected by this new or revised curriculum. Attach permission from the affected units. If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

None

Rationale:

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

Require HESC 121 Water Safety Instruction (WSI) instead of choice between HESC 121 and 122 Lifeguard training. HESC 121 teaches the pre-service teachers how to teach swimming. Swimming is one of the activities covered on the Praxis II tests, a required test in most states for teacher certification. The Red Cross no longer requires lifeguard certification as a pre-requisite to WSI.

The School of Education has revised the required secondary education courses. EDUC 413 Adolescent Development & Ed Psyc was changed from a three credit to a four credit course and EDUC 430 Classroom Management was eliminated. This course content will be interspersed in the three required education courses.

Two other course title changes are as follows: EDUC 414 to Teaching Exceptional Adolescents and EDUC 419 to Diversity In Secondary Education.

Replace HESC 214 with HESC 155. The content is largely the same and HESC 155 meets the FYE course requirement criteria.

Program Requirements:

(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the Course Catalog. If this is a revision, be sure to indicate the changes being made to the present curriculum.)
