Direct Connection to Policy Area 2 of The Illinois Commitment Costin Institute of Midwestern University’s Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine Midwestern University What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? The Costin Institute’s mission is to train physicians and health care professionals on how to be more effective medical educators. The main focus of the Costin Institute is providing medical educators with the knowledge and techniques to help them advance their teaching, research, management and leadership practices. Description of the effective practice: The Costin program is a year long. The participants meet in person four times for 2-1/2 days. Students connect with the instructors and one another via Blackboard. The content includes: innovative teaching techniques; assessment and evaluation methods; scholarly activities (research methods); management issues (budgeting and finance); leadership; conflict management; working in teams; effective communication; cultural competence; self-awareness tools like MBTI and DISC. How does this practice achieve sustainability? The first cohort group “graduated” in September 2005. The second cohort group started in September 2005, and a full cohort group of 18 start in September 2006. As the cohorts complete the program, they join an elite group that has shared this rich experience. They also will be invited to participate in annual update programs with the first one scheduled for September 8-9, 2006. What are the results/measurable outcomes? The program has had many positive outcomes. It has served to inform many physician teachers of the wealth of information available on teaching and learning styles, assessment and evaluation, the scholarship of teaching, leadership skills and learning theory. Each participant also completes a final project. It is an application of the skills, knowledge and methods learned during their Costin experience. The Costin scholars share the highlights and findings with their fellow scholars and the new cohort group.

Direct Connection to Policy Area 2 of The Illinois Commitment Creating New Teachers for Illinois Schools Southern Illinois University - Carbondale What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? There is a developing shortage of teachers in Illinois. Over 21,000 teachers retired last year, and replacing these retiring teachers while responding to population growth will be difficult as Illinois is already a net exporter of teachers. There is no single solution to this problem, and dealing with it will require many different initiatives. For this reason, SIUC is implementing a variety of approaches with an emphasis on mathematics and science. Each of the initiatives described below is aimed at increasing the number of certified teachers. Description of the effective practice: Increasing the number of qualified teachers requires a multifaceted approach involving many different programs. The College of Education and Human Services established a Center for Rural Schools and Communities to begin addressing the needs of the region. The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program, a part of the Library of Congress-funded An Adventure of the American Mind, is currently training its third and fourth cohorts of students. A state-funded program, entitled Teaching Excellence in Mathematics and Science, began over five years ago. It is a collaborative program aimed at training mathematics and science teachers. A bachelor of science in elementary education is being offered at the University Center of Lake County. How does this practice achieve sustainability? Funding for these initiatives is derived from three sources. Some, such as the off-campus programs in Lake County, are funded on a cost-recovery basis and, as such, they should remain viable for as long as satisfactory enrollment is maintained. The Teaching Excellence in Mathematics and Science program is a state-funded initiative. The Center for Rural Schools and Communities is funded by some external awards, and proposals have been submitted, or are in preparation, to secure additional funding to keep the programs in the center viable. Still other initiatives derive their primary support from tuition dollars and are integrated into the funding of the University. What are the results/measurable outcomes? The MAT program has enrolled approximately 50 students to date. In FY 2005 the College of Education and Human Services certified 420 graduates to teach P-12 (64 graduate degrees and 356 bachelor degrees). In 2005, the College of Education and Human Services graduated 1,170 undergraduate students. Diverse Issues in Higher Education ranked SIUC 2nd in the number of baccalaureate degrees in education awarded to African Americans, 26th in the number of baccalaureate education degrees awarded to American Indian students, 40th in the number of baccalaureate education degrees awarded to Asian American students, and 26th in the number of baccalaureate education degrees awarded to Hispanic students. Overall, SIUC was ranked 6th in the number of baccalaureate degrees in education awarded to all minority groups of students combined. For the first time U.S. News and World Report ranked one of the programs in education in the top 10. Vocational Technical Education in the Department of Workforce Education and Development at SIUC tied with Oklahoma State University and the University of Missouri-Columbia for 9th. Of course, Rehabilitation Counseling in the Rehabilitation Institute has been ranked in the top 10 by U.S. News and World Report for a number of years, and this year it is tied with the University of Iowa for 3rd.
