Page 6 • Thursday, October 14, 1999 c AMPUS Education Continued from Page 1 The newly formed Department of Educational Administration and Hu man Resource Development will be responsible for education areas re lating to adult and continuing edu cation, distance learning and higher education curriculum specialization. These will go along with the orig inal functions of the separate de partments, which include kinder garten through 12th grade teaching and training of future college and school administrators. According to the memo an in creased focus on adult education, curriculum and administration has emerged because of the increasing existence of private sector teaching and training programs. Dr. Larry Dooley, assistant de partment head of the Department of Educational Human Resource De velopment, and Bryan R. Cole, head of the Department of Educational Administration, said joining the de partments will be an asset to stu dents because it offers them more choices and resources. Cole said stu dents should not be affected nega tively by the restructuring. “Drawing upon the expertise of all the faculty and working together to see what each others’ work is, and how to use this work, will provide some new and different opportuni ties for people to plug in to,” Cole said. “Our students won’t feel any negative impact from any of this.” Conoley’s memo stated that the completely new Department of Teaching, Learning and Culture will contain all staff from the former De partment of Educational Curriculum and Instruction excluding some staff working with educational technolo gy. The new department will include one staff member from the integrat ed Department of Educational Hu man Resource Development. This configuration will provide stu dents with a rounded cultural educa tion including explorations of con temporary issues of society, culture and schooling, social justice, inclusive education, multicultural education and urban and rural education. “This emphases should facilitate ef forts to recruit the diverse students and faculty needed for the pursuit of excel lence in the changing demography of the century ahead,” the memo said. The reconfiguration of the De partment of Educational Philosophy, according to Conoley’s memo, will include the College of Education’s technology education resources. The goal, stated the memo, is “to enhance the academic, research and service functions associated with our technology work. ” The configu ration is being put forth because of the success other universities have experienced in coupling their edu cational psychology departments with educational technology. The college will add several in terdisciplinary faculties to facilitate better communication and flexibil ity throughout the college. Dooley said these groups are in tended to be units within the College of Education to fill instructional gaps between formal administrative units. The proposed changes are being considered now by A&M officials and committees and will be decided on soon. If they are ratified, the con figuration will go into effect by Fall 2000 and then through a two-year testing period to determine any flaws or needed improvements in the system.
