CONCEPTUAL BASE
Developing Principled Educational Leaders for P-20 Schools – The Citadel’s Professional Education Unit prepares principled leaders to be knowledgeable, reflective, and ethical professionals. Candidates completing our programs are committed to ensuring that all students succeed in a learner-centered environment.
The Citadel’s Professional Education Unit is committed to the simultaneous transformation of the preparation of educational leaders and of the places where they work. Specifically, The Citadel’s Professional Education Unit seeks to develop principled educational leaders who:
• have mastered their subject matter and are skilled in using it to foster student learning;
• know the self who educates (Parker J. Palmer) and integrate this self knowledge with content knowledge, knowledge of students, and in the context of becoming professional change agents committed to using this knowledge and skill to ensure that all students succeed in a learner-centered environment; and
• exemplify the highest ethical standards by modeling respect for all human beings and valuing diversity as an essential component of an effective learner-centered environment.
The Citadel’s Professional Educational Unit is on the march, transforming itself into a Center of Excellence for the preparation of principled educational leaders. Through our initial programs for teacher candidates for P-12 schools and our advanced programs for professional educators in P-20 schools,, The Citadel’s Professional Education Unit transforms cadets and graduate students into principled educational leaders capable of and committed to transforming our schools into learning communities where all children and youth succeed.

CLASS EXPECTATIONS
Class Attendance and Professionalism
One of the most important aspects of the education profession is that of professionalism. Punctual attendance in class is expected. All college policies will be followed. Attendance will be taken. Late assignments will be penalized. Active and informed participation in class is a sign of professionalism.
Disability Disclosure
If you need accommodations because of a disability, please inform me immediately. Please see me privately, either after class or in my office. To initiate accommodation, students must register with the Office of Access Services, Instruction and Support (OASIS) located in room 105 Thompson Hall or call 953-1820 to set up an appointment. This office is responsible for reviewing documentation provided by students requesting academic accommodation and for accommodation in cooperation with students and instructors as needed and consistent with course requirements.
Academic Integrity Statement
As a professional educator, integrity is an expectation. Students of The School of Education at The Citadel are expected to meet the standards set forth in the Citadel Code available at:
“I will not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do.”
Academic dishonesty violations will be reported and a failing grade will be assigned for the work in question. This class will follow The Citadel Honor Manual regarding plagiarism: "Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's words or ideas as your own without giving proper credit to the sources:
• When you quote another's words exactly you must use quotation marks and a footnote (or an indication in your paragraph) to tell exactly where the words came from, down to the page number(s). When you mix another's words and ideas with your own in one or more sentences, partially quoting the source exactly and partially substituting your own words, you must put quotation marks around the words you quote and not around your own. Then you cite the source, down to the page number(s).
• When you paraphrase another's words or ideas, that is, when you substitute your words for another's words, but keep their idea(s), you do not use quotation marks, but you must cite the source, down to the page number(s).
• When you use only another's idea(s), knowing that they are the other's ideas, you must cite the source of that idea or those ideas, down to the page number(s).
• Citing the source means giving, as a minimum, the author, the title of the book, and the page number. (Source: The Citadel Honor Manual)
GRADING CRITERIA, PROCESS AND METHODS OF ASSESSMENT
|COURSE REQUIREMENTS |% WEIGHTING OF COURSE REQS. |
|1. Discussion facilitation on a application of theory to current problem/issue/concern |20% |
|2. Theories Table |20% |
|3. Poster Presentation |20% |
|4. Theory to Practice Paper |20% |

Grading Scale
The following grading schema will be utilized for this class:
A = 94 – 100
B = 85 - 93
C = 75 - 84
F = Below 75
Grading Policy
Assignments are detailed in the syllabus. Unless it is a dire emergency, I do not accept late work; however, if you submit late assignments, the following policy applies: Late papers will not be accepted without penalty. Five points per day will be deducted for late papers. Students with unusual circumstances should discuss alternate deadlines with the instructor in advance of date assignment is due.
An “A” grade is one in which student’s work reflects exceptional mastery of materials, concepts, and application of these concepts; taking responsibility for own learning; critical thinking; synthesis of material; linkage of theory to practice.
A “B” grade represents a basic understanding of material. The student connects theory to practice but only adequately, not in high level or complex fashion.
A”C” represents inadequate graduate work. This grade would reflect a minimum understanding of concepts of Student Development theory, a lack of critical thinking skills, and inability to make connection between theory and practice.
Grades of incomplete will be granted only under dire circumstances and after consultation with the instructor. Incompletes will not be granted simply because more time is desired to complete coursework.
Grades will be a composite for the participant’s work in the course, including:
1. Completion of assigned readings.
2. Participation in class discussion and activities as well as attendance.
3. Development and facilitation of a discussion of theory application to a current problem/issue/concern on a theory to be assigned.
4. Completion of Theories Table
5. Completion of a student development theory application and practice paper.
6. Completion of case study/poster.
COURSE ASSIGNMENTS
Readings and Other Media
Students are responsible for the assigned readings. Your professional growth and development as well as classroom success are dependent upon your reading, discussing and sharing of assigned resources. Text readings are specified on the syllabus. Additional readings may be assigned. In the first 10 minutes of some classes we will have open-ended class discussion questions. Your participation will reflect your comprehension of the required reading.
As part of the class, you will also be asked to utilize popular films, books and other contemporary media with the intention of using and applying the theories. Failure to have familiarized yourself with these media or resources recently will result in you not being able to fully participate in class activities. You are responsible for taking active responsibility for your learning and that of your peers. If the instructor deems that the class is not reading and discussing adequately, unannounced pop quizzes may be conducted throughout the semester and the grading scale adjusted as necessary.
Collaborative Learning Process-Attendance/Participation/Papers/Project
Graduate school is a learning process—one in which you learn from readings, the instructor, your peers as well as class activities. Thus, it is expected that you will treat your peers with respect—this respect includes allowing for differing opinions, not interrupting others and not demeaning others comments. Class will reflect professionalism through professional scrutiny and analysis and synthesis of our own work and that of others. As a part of this professional responsibility, each student is responsible to the instructor and other students to be prepared and able to engage in group discussions and activities, attend class and outside meetings, value the richness of classmates’ diversity, be punctual, dress appropriately and respect yourself and each other at all times.
Attendance
It is expected that you will attend and be prepared to fully participate in each class. By participation, the instructor assumes you have read and/or viewed the assigned materials and are able to engage in thoughtful discussion of the topic. Your discussion should be on the level that it enhances classmates learning and adds to the understanding of the topic being discussed. The participation grade will be based on your ability to do this. While the instructor recognizes that everyone is not an extravert, part of being a professional is to become comfortable contributing to and actively participating in class and group activities.
It is also expected that you will attend all classes. The instructor understands also that at times we have circumstances that require our presence elsewhere. This may be an illness, job interview, conference attendance, child care issue, etc. While all of these are legitimate reasons for missing a class, absences are not acceptable and may result in a loss of points. Missing two or more classes will incur an additional penalty of a loss of ten points on the final class grade).
Participation Rubric
Involvement in class discussion and in all class activities is an important aspect of this course and a primary means for learning material. Class participation is also a means for helping students develop communication and interpersonal skills. Good participation is not simply excessive talking or speaking at least once in every class. Examples of good participation include:
*presenting good examples of concepts
*building upon comments of others
*adding insightful and interesting comments
*posing good questions
*listening and responding appropriately to others
*attending all class meetings and being on-time
*turning off all cell phone, laptops, and pagers for the duration of the class (except when such devices are required for on call and emergency contacts)
*using laptops appropriately to enhance learning, not reading emails, instant messaging or shopping
*excusing yourself from class temporarily if involuntary behaviors (e.g. drowsiness) distract you or others
Excellent Participation--Informed contributions, indicates ones has read and is up to date in student affairs, leads discussion, offers pertinent and succinct information without dominating the conversation, invites others in the class to participate in the discussion and is open to sharing about topic
Above Average Participation--Contributes to discussions begun by instructor or peers, shares information that is pertinent and helpful in processing a topic, follows up to reiterate or contradict a point made by someone else, and shares opinions yet may not indicate knowledge of reading materials or up to date information
Average Participation--Reacts to the contributions of others, responds when called upon by the instructor or peers, shows that one is following the class discussions yet does not contribute often and does not lead conversations
Below Average Participation--Present in class, lack of participation, may go many classes without contributing to conversations, and displays attitude of boredom or apathy
Poor Participation--Absent without prior discussion, lack of participation, sleeping, responding in manners that inhabit learning and growth, and blatant disrespect for peers and instructor.
ASSIGNMENTS
1) Facilitated discussion of an application of theory to current problem/issue/concern. A Theory will be assigned to each student. 20pts. Date: As assigned

5. Use APA format. (5pts) In writing a professional paper, you need to cite any ideas that are not your own. The content and format of the paper are both important. Use headings to identify different sections on the paper. Additionally, all written assignments should be carefully proofread for spelling, grammar, and syntax. Remember to put page numbers, running head, and to use 5th edition APA Manual to cite authors and to develop your reference page.
6. All papers are to be typed, double-spaced and follow the American Psychological Association style manual (5th ed.); should be 12 pt. font (Times New Roman or Arial); 1” margin on all sides. Assignments containing multiple errors may be returned, not graded, for revision and resubmission.
The number and quality of Web and Internet resources has grown exponentially in recent years. However, for scholarly work, class projects and class assignments, exercise caution in using this information and attempt to ensure that the information being reported is from a reliable resource. The best scenario is when the information can be also located via other sources.
3) Theories Table – Due March 3
The purpose of this assignment is to organize and synthesize the major theories into a practical and succinct format that identifies major theses, publications, assessment tools, criticisms and applications.
1. A suggested template will be provided as a separate document.
2. Briefly, list or outline material in your own words.
3. If you use resources other than the text, cite your sources very carefully.
4. You may not collaborate with others concerning the content of your table.
5. Create in Microsoft Table format.
4) Theory Application Case Study Poster – Presentations March 3
Each student will create a conference style poster that will be presented during the last class meeting.
1. First, interview an undergraduate student and develop a summary of the information you learned in your interview. Create an informal model of development for this student,
2. Next, compare your model to existing models and provide a critique of existing models in relation to what you learned from this student about their experiences in higher education (e.g., psychosocial identity, such as a racial, ethnic, gender or religious identity, an experience such as being a returning adult learner, international student or first-generation college students).
3. This project will culminate in a conference-style poster presentation on the last night of class. We will discuss the specifics of the poster formatting, but you should include a title, brief description of your subject and interview, a summary of the student’s story, brief explanation of the components of your informal model (ideally accompanied by a graphic), an overview of comparison of your theory to existing theory (either in text or graphic format).
4. The poster will be presented by being projected electronically and is NOT intended to be printed out full sized but rather as an 8.5 X 11 handout for the class.
5. Formatting and other info regarding this assignment will be provided on a separate handout.
6. You will also need to prepare and bring for each class member a double-sided, one page handout, including any reference citations.
