Professional Development Catalog 2009 - 2010

Multiple opportunities for professional development are planned for the 2009-2010 school year. Not included are required, pre-service sessions. Remember that new hires that have a deficiency plan in their teaching credential have 3 years to obtain 12 semester hours of graduate credit, which can easily be arranged through the State University of New York at Buffalo State. For further details, contact Tracy Miller at 4996 or [email protected]. Because of SACS CASI/AdvancED accreditation standards for Latin America, faculty members are required to earn at least six semester hours of credit or the equivalent during each five years of employment. For that reason equivalent credit forms are made available each school year so that employees can record their participation in professional development activities and turn them in for collection in the administrative offices of their division or department.

ASF Goals for 2009-2010 1. Use Data to Make Decisions for Improved Student Learning

2. Strengthen the IB Program

3. Integrate Technology as a Tool for Teaching and Learning

4. Build the Spirit of Community at ASF

Professional Development Philosophy

Professional development for all faculty and professional staff is a vital component of improving student achievement. This includes teachers, coordinators, counselors, psychologists and librarians;

Professional development activities are data driven;

Professional development activities are linked to the American School Foundation, A.C. goals and division initiatives;

The professional development activities are evaluated, monitored, and assessed;

Professional development is critical to improving instruction and instructional leadership.

Quality Professional Development In essence, ASF believes that effective professional learning:

Focuses on and improves student learning;

Increases educators’ knowledge, skill, and understanding of diverse learners, subject matter, and best practices;

Establishes a culture of quality for the work of adults and students;

Happens primarily at the division level and is frequently job-embedded;

Is active, collaborative, reflective and ongoing;

Demonstrates respect for teachers as professionals and as adult learners;

Occurs when ASF views itself as a learning organization and knowledge creating institution;

Requires commitment to consistency and focus over the long term;

Is at the heart of continuous student, teacher, division, and ASF improvement.

EDU 690 Masters Project (required) A culminating project undertaken by one or more individuals on a problem of special interest (can not be approved until the student has completed 24 semester hours)Pre-requisite: EDF 689 Methods and Techniques of Educational Research.

Site-based, action research project required. The tuition of each course is the peso equivalent of $500 USCY and the programmatic course fee for each course is $18 USCY which can be deducted over four pay periods. If courses are scheduled close together, those payments may overlap. That means that students might be credited for payments for 2 different courses in the same pay period. Failure to register on time, interferes with payroll deduction scheduling, so be prompt with registration decisions. Registration of 18 graduate students makes the course viable. For that reason, do not indicate intentions to register and then advise a last minute withdrawal. The penalty fee for withdrawal is $100 USCY. Tracy Miller, the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) Coordinator will remind the ASF community of registration deadlines for each course. Payroll deduction agreement forms for each course must be signed and submitted to Gabriela Lechuga in the Academic Affairs Office. Call 4111 or email her at [email protected]. Note that the registration deadline for the first course is August 21, 2009. Failure to register on time means that the participant must pay the full tuition to the cashier before the first day of the course. Courses taken through independent study are arranged for through the Director of the SUNY program, Carolyn Brunner, and the professors providing the courses. Payment is made directly by the student to the professor. The wire transfer of $615 USCY covers the fee before the course commences. Wire transfer instructions will be provided at least a month prior to the beginning of the course. Faculty who want to join the State University of New York (SUNY), Buffalo State Master's Degree in Multidisciplinary Studies Program should pay the school cashier the peso equivalent of the $50 USCY admission fee directly to the Buffalo-SUNY internal account that is maintained here at ASF, Account No. 11040501,Code 6093. Provide the account and code information to the cashier when the payment is made. The exchange rate varies from day to day, so visit the cashier's office after 9 am, but before 2:30 pm, Monday through Friday. The cashier will provide a receipt of payment. Please make a photocopy of the receipt and turn it in to Tracy Miller. Always keep original receipts in a file to corroborate those payments. Turn in the application form as well, which will require her signature. Application packets can be picked up at the Center for Teaching Excellence on the ramp.
