While we have not yet achieved that goal, we are gradually focusing<strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> diverse faculty members toward it. The following chart shows <strong>the</strong> courses whichhave at least 50% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir sections taught by diverse faculty.Course Taught by DiverseFaculty member(s) 2011-2012ADOL 634Programs in Which <strong>the</strong> Course is LocatedInstructional Leadership, Superintendent, Director<strong>of</strong> Special EducationELMS 335 Initial Licensure Undergraduate Middle School 100%EDOL 639 All MAT Programs, Rank I Teacher 75%ADOL 637 Director <strong>of</strong> Special Education, Superintendent 50%EDOL 643 MAED Teacher Leader, Rank I Teacher 100%EDOL 562 MAED Teacher Leader 100%ADOL 632Instructional Leadership, Director <strong>of</strong> PupilPersonnel, Director <strong>of</strong> Special Education, Supervisor<strong>of</strong> InstructionEDOL 537 MAED Middle School, MAT Middle School 100%EDOL 547 Rank I Teacher 100%EDOL 542 MAED Teacher Leader, Rank I Teacher 100%Percentage <strong>of</strong> Sections <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> Course Taught ByDiverse Faculty 2011-201267%75%From <strong>the</strong> above, it can be seen that current candidates in some programs cannot complete <strong>the</strong>program without interactions with one or more diverse faculty members. These include <strong>the</strong>MAED Teacher Leader program, Rank I Teacher programs, MAED and MAT Middle Schoolprograms, and <strong>the</strong> Undergraduate Middle School program. In several o<strong>the</strong>r programs 50% ormore <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sections <strong>of</strong> at least one required course are currently taught by diverse faculty. Theseinclude all MAT programs, <strong>the</strong> Instructional Leadership – Principal programs (MAED and56
certification), and Rank I, Ed.S. and certification programs for Superintendent, Director <strong>of</strong>Special Education, Director <strong>of</strong> Pupil Personnel, and Supervisor <strong>of</strong> Instruction.We have yet to make as much headway in ensuring that candidates in <strong>the</strong> following programshave interactions with diverse faculty: Undergraduate elementary and secondary programs, <strong>the</strong>school counseling program, Rank I Special Education program, and <strong>the</strong> Reading and WritingMAED program. In addition to seeking additional qualified faculty applicants with diversebackgrounds, we are identifying pr<strong>of</strong>essionals in P-12 schools and districts with diversitycharacteristics who might serve as “co-teachers” in some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> classes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se programs inorder to ensure that all candidates enjoy positive interactions with diverse faculty.57
