2020-57

Motion Introduced by:  Curriculum and Academic Programs Committee

Date of First Reading:    March 2, 2020

Date of Second Reading: March 30, 2020

Title of Motion: Request from the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College – Educational Leadership and Innovation – for the name change of a graduate certificate – from: English as a Second Language – to: Educating Multilingual Learners

Action Requested: This curricular proposal has received all college, school, unit and university administrative approvals, and is being presented to the Senate for review and voting decision.   

Rationale: The changed title will (a) more clearly signal a focus on preparing program graduates to educate bilingual and multilingual learners in a pre K-12 and community education context; (b) distinguish the program form the MTESOL degree offered by The College; and (c) eliminate confusion some RFT leads have, thinking that the program will teach them English.
