Institutional Resources, Coordination, and Commitment

Teacher preparation institutions provide candidates program structures that demonstrate a capacity for coordination of resources, and the commitment toward a quality program.

7.1

The program provides an administrative and governance structure that encourages collaboration across content and teacher preparation programs.  

*

The university provides for academic excellence in both faculty and material resources sufficient for the program size and breadth.  While there is a single full-time French language faculty member, adjunct faculty are employed, both native French speakers, and other qualified individuals as required and as will benefit the program objectives.  The French and Spanish faculty members collaborate and cooperate in development of our World Language offerings.  We have expanded our credit bearing course offerings to include courses in Chinese (with a native Chinese speaker) and Japanese.  These recent course offerings had strong administrative support, and exceptional student interest.
