concentrate on: admissions recruitment of the variety of students interested in a graduate degree, dedicated admissions tours, and open houses; Marketing enhancements, including print and digital. SEM campaign to support recruitment efforts (the campaign and resource requests appears in the Marketing and Communication goals for overall institutional advertising); funding of 1 scholarship per program and provision for graduate students to apply for summer research scholarships; more support specifically centered on adult students (an admissions funded orientation experience; more time sensitive hours for registrar, financial services, ITS support; student housing and career services for graduate students; appropriate writing center support in time and expertise; enable graduate students to be involved in LaSallian opportunities; promote opportunities for graduate students to be part of the campus community reflecting social justice and enriching our community with their involvement

The goal, over the next year, is to enhance the curriculum of the graduate education courses to ensure that our Graduate Education students are attaining a 21st century technological skill set to accompany their contextual knowledge base. Graduate Education Faculty will receive supplemental training, one on one planning and support in order to execute technology rich curriculum in their respective courses. Students will develop a technology rich set of skills that they will be able to take into their professional lives post graduation.

The department’s existing programs either need to pursue accreditation (School and Mental Health Counseling; Marriage and Family Therapy) or be reaccredited under the new CAEP standards (Special Education and School Leadership).

The NCATE Blue Ribbon Panel Report on Clinical Preparation and Partnerships: Transforming Teacher Education Through Clinical Practice: a National Strategy to Prepare Effective Teachers strongly recommended that programs be fully grounded in clinical practice and interwoven with academic content and professional courses. Similarly, the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) emphasizes the importance of partnerships and its impact on practice. Both National counseling program accreditors (CACREP and MPCAC) address the need to have access to appropriate environments conducive to training. Similarly, the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE) emphasizes the importance of MFT students developing competencies for practice within diverse clinical contexts which require multidisciplinary collaboration. These partnerships reflects a broader commitment and a step towards gaining a greater impact on the community.
