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.
