COUNCIL ON INTEGRATED TEACHER EDUCATION

One of the objectives of the project was to establish a CITE Committee to form a collaborative, inter-departmental/inter-school and community-based coordinating committee to assist the project directors in achieving the stated goals and objectives of the Unification of Teacher Preparatory Program.

CITE Committee Roles and Activities:

CITE committee members fulfill many roles including reviewing the progress of the project, advising the project director and project coordinators on grant tasks and activities and serve on subcommittees convened to address specific grant activities. CITE participants are also active participants in project related workshops concerning differentiated instruction and meeting the needs of diverse learners.

It is expected that this Council will serve as the catalyst for blending the preparation of future elementary and special education teachers within an integrated preparatory framework. It is expected that this integrated approach will improve the preparation of students for university requirements, increase the diversity of university applicants, improve the utilization of technology in teacher preparation, increase skills in using various methods of instruction for diverse learners, and demonstrate the integration of various content areas of University Requirements into their preparation programs.

CITE committee membership includes university (faculty from the School of Education, faculty from the School of Arts and Sciences, undergraduate and graduate students) and community membership (Elementary and Secondary school teachers, a school Superintendent, parent of a special needs child, undergraduate student disabilities advocate). A brief biography and contact information is provided for each of the members of the CITE committee.
