CAA to review early education courses

Camelia Nicholson, Staff Reporter

The Council of Academic Affairs will meet tomorrow to review updates on early education courses requirements, along with revisions to a political science course, on Thursday.

The council will perform executive action to update the prerequisites and concurrent enrollment requirements for three early education courses. These courses include ELE 3225 and ELE 3250 which are Early Childhood Curriculum, Methods, and Assessment: Birth–Age Five and Primary Grades (K-3) respectively. The third course is ELE 4775, Language and Language Arts in Early Childhood.

According to a memo from Dean Harold Ornes, PLS 3253, International Criminal Law has been scheduled for revision since the beginning of the semester. This request is still pending for the upcoming meeting.  T

The revision to the course would consists of incorporating human rights movements as well as looking at human rights leaders from the 19th and 20th century.

The reason that this revision is once again on the agenda is because during last week’s meeting, the council was unsure about the requested revisions, and had not received word from Ornes about the course.

The council will meet at 3p.m. Thursday in Room 4440 at Booth Library.
