None.

 

Explain, when appropriate, how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/

 

The proposed revision does not address additional goals for the Elementary Education major.

 

Identify other units affected by the proposed changes:

(Attach permission from the affected units.  If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

 

Permission from Joann Browning, Associate Dean for the Arts in the College of Arts and Sciences, is attached. She oversees the dance courses that we propose to add to the list of options for the fine arts course requirement in the Elementary Teacher Education program.

 

 

Describe the rationale for the proposed program change(s):

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

 

Elementary Teacher Education (ETE) students take a fine arts course in art, art history, music, music education, or theater. Before Fall 2009, the Theatre Department offered dance courses under the THEA course prefix and the ETE students could take them to satisfy the fine arts course requirement. Beginning in Fall 2009, dance courses are now assigned to the new DANC course prefix. We propose to include dance courses in the list of options to satisfy the fine arts course requirement due to the change in the course title prefix. The new dance courses also address one of our national organization standards, which enables us to meet accreditation requirements.

 

 

Program Requirements: 

(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the Course Catalog.  If this is a revision, be sure to indicate the changes being made to the current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)
