10. CONTINUATION OF LAST YEAR’S THEME The Business of Paradigms

11. THIS IS (A YOUNGER) BUDDY

12. THE NEW NORMAL Mission Market Margin

13. WHAT’S WRONG WITH STUDENTS THESE DAYS?! Students today can’t prepare bark to calculate their own problems. They depend upon their slates, which are more expensive. What will they do when the slate is dropped and it breaks? They will be unable to write. Teacher’s Conference, 1703

14. WHAT’S WRONG WITH STUDENTS THESE DAYS?! Students depend upon paper too much. They don’t know how to write on a slate without getting chalk dust all over themselves. They can’t clean a slate properly. What will they do when they run out of paper? Principal’s Association, 1815

15. WHAT’S WRONG WITH STUDENTS THESE DAYS?! Students today depend too much upon ink. They don’t know how to use a penknife to sharpen a pencil. Pen and ink will never replace the pencil! National Association of Teachers, 1907

16. WHAT’S WRONG WITH STUDENTS THESE DAYS?! Students today depend upon store bought ink. They don’t know how to make their own. When they run out of ink they will be unable to write words of ciphers until their next trip to the settlement. This is a sad commentary on modern education. The Rural American Teacher, 1929

17. WHAT’S WRONG WITH STUDENTS THESE DAYS?! Students today depend upon these expensive fountain pens. They can no longer write with a straight pen and nib (not to mention sharpening their own quills). We parents must not allow them the luxury to the detriment of learning how to cope in the real business world, which is not so extravagant. PTA Gazette, 1941

18. WHAT’S WRONG WITH STUDENTS THESE DAYS?! Ball-point pens will be the ruin of education in our country. Students use these devices and then throw them away! The American virtues of thrift and frugality are being discarded. Businesses and banks will never allow such expensive luxuries. Federal Teachers, 1950

19. WHAT’S WRONG WITH STUDENTS THESE DAYS?! Today’s students depend too much on hand-held calculators. They can’t do long hand division. 1980’s Today’s students depend on Google, they don’t know how to use the Dewey Decimal System! 2000’s Today’s students want to use FaceBook, Twitter, InstaGram, WhatsApp, WeChat, and Kakao Talk… 2014

20. TRANSFORMATIONAL LEARNING INITIATIVE Goal : Significantly improve student learning and engagement Additional Benefits : Improve student matriculation and retention A DHE metric for funding Better prepared future teachers / employees More enjoyable, stimulating for both faculty and students It is NOT about the technology, but about what technology can do to enhance learning and teaching!

21. TRANSFORMATIONAL LEARNING INITIATIVE Frequent conversations on the SAMR model and “Appy Hour” (what’s working, what’s not) Additional trainings scheduled SAMR Model Four- stage model for looking at and understanding one’s use of educational technology Lower levels are Substitution and Augmentation Upper levels are Modification and Redefinition We want to be “above the line”.

22. SAMR MODEL http://www.schrockguide.net/samr.html

23. NEW EMPHASIS ON GRADUATE EDUCATION The past 7 years we’ve had a deliberate, intense focus on UG teacher preparation Significant changes and improvements have occurred Changes driven by input from Advisory Committee Implemented a Clinical practice model Graduate education is a significant part of the College of Education College of Education Advisory Committee focus has shifted to graduate education Just like its review of UG programs, hard questions will be asked

24. GRADUATE EDUCATION AFI’s from last NCATE visit largely directed at Graduate Education Program Coordinators will meet with Joyce this fall Significant growth opportunities Review curriculum for currency and relevance Use Advisory Committees with external members New markets Survey of Independence teachers for site delivery

25. GRADUATE EDUCATION New Award to support faculty Research Support for scholarly activity Not restricted to Graduate Faculty Flexible award depending upon research proposal Dedicated GA for research assistance, or Reassigned time if appropriate, or Monetary support for project, or… Defined by CoE Awards Committee this fall

26. YOU MISS ALL THE SHOTS YOU DON’T TAKE

27. AFRICAN PROVERB Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle… when the sun comes up, you’d better be running!

28. LET’S HAVE A GREAT YEAR TAKE THOSE SHOTS, AND RUN LIKE HECK!
