J. Saban motioned and G. Wass seconded to accept the October 7, 2002 minutes
as presented. Motion passed
CAPC Bylaws
The members discussed and made changes to the draft CAPC Bylaws. M. Bridge will
make the changes and the Bylaws will be sent to the members prior to the next
meeting. The committee recommended that the revised Bylaws be voted on at the
December meeting.
Tracking Advanced Certification Candidates
The name and social security number of candidates who have been formally admitted
and enrolled in advanced certification programs need to be sent to the UOTC
by November 15, 2002. The information is requested in Excel or Access.
Tracking Advanced Certification Candidates Experiences with P-12 Students
In response to the weakness cited by NCATE/ ISBE, advanced programs will need
to develop a system for tracking their candidate’s internships to “ensure
that all candidates have opportunities to interact and work with diverse P-12
students”. The members requested guidelines for defining diverse. The
systems need to be in place before the end of the 2003 spring term.
Content Area Matrices for Advanced Programs
Dr. Wheeler announced that initial certification programs are required to send
him a letter no later than July 1, 2003, verifying that their programs are aligned
with the Illinois Content-Area Standards. Advanced programs with Illinois Content-Area
Standards also need to verify that they are in alignment. While completed ISBE
Content-Area Matrices are not required at this time, they will most likely be
required for the next accreditation visit.
S. Wickman reported that he attended the Unit Portfolio Committee meeting which is investigating the use of portfolios as an assessment tool.
Agenda items for future meetings:
1. Conceptual Framework
2. Dispositions that will be required of all advanced program candidates
3. Criminal Background Checks for advanced certification candidates
4. Tuition Waivers
