The following course proposal has been received in the College Senate Office and will be forwarded to the Senate Curriculum Committee for review and approval:

Teaching under supervision at least five days per week for one quarter in a middle school science classroom; individual and group instruction; planning unit teaching; classroom management and routine classroom procedures; audioprogress; participation in total school program.

Prerequisites: SED 405 with a grade of B or better; minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 in the student's major field of study (3.0 in earth sciences); successful completion of the last NYSTCE exam; successful completion of English and mathematics basic skills competency; if referred, satisfactory completion of or exemption from SLA 100, Student Speech Clinic.
The Foreign Language Department, with approval from the dean of its faculty, proposes that its name be changed to the Modern and Classical Languages Department. The principal argument is that languages are not foreign, that is, alien. The department faculty wishes to project an inclusive, hospitable image for the study of language, a tolerant context for language as a means to understand the world. Please forward comments, concerns, or exceptions to Provost Gary Marotta, Cleveland Hall 519, by Tuesday, June 6.
