Dean Don Cardinal 2011-2012 DEAN’S MESSAGE FOR YEARBOOK
I
n this year’s yearbook, you will see and read about the accomplishments of our faculty and students. In lieu of a traditional Dean’s Message, it seemed appropriate that this year you hear directly from those who support us all in making our accomplishments possible, our CES Administrative Support Team (AST). At the beginning of the year I asked them to answer two questions, “how do we know if we are good and how do we use that information to be better?” Below is their response and highlights from our accomplishments. as we provide our friends and colleagues a “Snapshot of the CES.”
Throughout 2010-2011, our faculty, staff and students focused on many initiatives. Our largest effort this year supported our internal program improvement system (PISCES). PISCES guided us forward in obtaining two external accreditations: the first in receiving our fourth national accreditation by the Teacher Education Accreditation Commission (TEAC) and the second by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC). Curricular initiatives also reflected PISCES review in driving program and college decisions. Most of these initiatives will be unveiled during the 2011-2012 academic year and begin in the Fall 2012 semester. They include: • The Master of Arts in Leadership Development (MLD) begins a new era in the college replacing the Master of Arts in Education degree, as part of a new CES leadership and civic engagement initiative.

• The Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) will now be available to students from the school counseling and school psychology programs enabling them to pursue licensure in California. • The Master of Arts in Teaching: Music Education emphasis will be established. • The Ph.D. in Education program is developing a fourth emphasis in leadership studies, in addition to the three current emphases in cultural and curricular studies, disability studies and school psychology. • And finally, the undergraduate Integrated Educational Studies (IES) program has initiated the first steps in developing a new bridge program (4 + 1) as a Master of Arts in Integrated Educational Studies for students who wish to be educators, teachers, leaders and social entrepreneurs within all aspects of our communities..

Although difficult to measure our CES successes, it is evident that the long history and valued reputation of the College of Educational Studies is evident in all of our programs, their faculty, and most importantly our graduates. We hope to continue to move forward in “Changing Education, Changing the World.”
