Teacher Education Programs I The Utah State Board of Education has fully approved all professional education certification programs offered by the Graduate School of j Education at the University of Utah. "The University of Utah has an excellent teacher education program," said Roger C. Mouritsen, coordinator of certification and personnel development at the Utah State Office of Education. "As a result of our recent visit, applying both state and national standards, the institution received very high marks. All programs are filly approved," he said. When a teacher education has been approved by the State Board of Education, individuals who complete that program are considered certified by the state without the need for a detailed transcript analysis or evaluation. Dean Colleen Kennedy, of the on-si- te no-gra- m Graduate School of Education, said the faculty have worked hard to de- velop exemplary programs "and Shop now! Fathers Day is June 18. Hurry in for best selection. Styles, sizes, colors and quantities are limited to stock on hand. their efforts are being recognized." "The state evaluators commended our faculty for the high quality of preparation we provide to teachers, administrators and school personnel," Kennedy said. "We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the review." In February, a team of 30 top Utah educators and curriculum specialists spent two days on campus evaluating programs including elementary education, all major and minors in secondary education, special education, educational administration, school social work, school counseling and school psychology. The state report commended the Graduate School of Education for establishing close working relationships with the public schools and praised the Educational Studies Department for establishing professional development schools in part- nership with local school districts. Recent graduates in secondary education demonstrated "a very strong spirit of professionalism," "great mastery of those skills necessary for classroom management," and 'clear evidence that they were prepared to deal with today's youth," the repot said. All 27 majors and minors in sec- ondary education received high marks. The areas include math, his- tory, English, foreign languages, art, music, dance, physical education, health education, computer science, social science, and other sciences. The educational administration program recently received national attention when it ranked among die top 10 programs in the United States, according to the April 1995 issue of "Contemporary Educational Psychology." f Utah State Office of Education evaluators also made recommendations for improvement in "a minimal number of areas," Mouritsen said. "There is always room for improvement We have noted those ar- eas and received a commitment from the university to pay close attention to them." 6699 Landmark Drive.
