General Description of the
Department
The
department of Leadership and Professional Studies offers programs and courses
for students interested in working in a wide range of organizational, urban/
multicultural/ international contexts of education and training. Academic
preparation focuses on such areas as educational leadership, management,
psychology, policy development and analysis, adult education, human resources
development, research/evaluation, counselor education, school psychology,
instruction in urban settings, higher education administration, and recreation
and sport management. In addition, the
department provides the core undergraduate and graduate curricula in the
historical, cultural, social, philosophical, and psychological foundations of
education. The department is substantially directed towards granting master’s
and doctoral level degrees. Department
faculty are recognized as national/international scholars, exemplify
outstanding teaching practices, and are committed to taking a leadership role
in the provision of professional services and the process of community
engagement. They are worlds ahead in its commitment to serving and maximizing
student learning, engaging in the discovery and dissemination of new knowledge,
and encouraging a creative and innovative spirit among our students.
Community engagement continues to play a pivotal role in the programs and
sponsored-research projects implemented through the department, where critical
problems confronting our communities are identified and addressed. These
efforts aim to find answers to such problems as substance abuse among our
youth, lack of parental involvement in schools, limited access to higher
educational opportunities for linguistically and culturally diverse
populations, and the need to prepare effective leaders and teachers for urban
schools.

Other Teaching Qualifications
(Description of Required Academic Degree and Justifications4 for the
programs in Leadership and Professional Studies)
|
|
Consideration
of other teaching qualifications in lieu of academic credentials is made on a
case-by-case basis and accepted in special cases where evidence of exceptional
experience, research or other qualifications can be documented and are directly
applicable to the course being taught. Special consideration will be given to
maintenance of professional licensure and the continuing education courses
necessary to maintain that license.

Whenever
instructors are not credentialed by their advanced degree or by an approved
CIP relationship, they must be credentialed through a narrative justification
of the instructor’s qualifications to teach this/these course(s). Such credentialing is based on the proposed
instructor’s academic and professional preparation; diplomas, certificates,
or relevant licensures; publications and presentations in the field; honors,
awards, and professional recognitions; and other demonstrated competencies,
skills, and experiences which the instructor brings to the University. These must be clearly tied to the specific
courses to be taught and should establish beyond doubt that the instructor is
qualified to teach the specific courses they are to be assigned. The
Office of the Provost reviews all such justifications and where the
justifications warrant the instructor’s teaching the courses proposed, it will
either approve the justification for the appropriate period (seven years for
full-time faculty members, or four years for part-time faculty members) or
employ one of two additional clearance categories beyond the advanced degree
and related-discipline categories which it may use to credential some
instructors where their accomplishments warrant this: Active
Research Clearance in the Discipline or Active Artistic/Special Talent
Clearance in the Discipline |

The level and
discipline of the terminal degree (e.g., Ph.D., MS, MFA, doctorate) that is
required to teach graduate courses in the discipline |

For each discipline,
all strongly-related degree(s) and/or equivalent names for the discipline
(include level) that would also be appropriate for teaching at the graduate
level |

4 |
(1)The appropriate
academic degrees and justifications for each related degree above if not
obvious; (2) the justification for why the terminal degree is not a doctorate
in a discipline, e.g., specific examples of best practice in the discipline
and accrediting association language; and (3) any other criteria used to
determine appropriate academic qualifications to teach specialty courses in
the program. |
