Please provide any additional comments about or exceptions to the admissions information provided above:

Our three Special Education programs are all-online, with three tracks leading to certification. The alternative track (Option 6) is designed for special education teachers of record who have no teacher certification, in alliance with Kentucky regulation (http://www.epsb.ky.gov/certification/universitybasedcert.asp). In order to qualify for Option 6, an individual must be simultaneously employed as a teacher in the area in which certification is being sought and enrolled in that certification program, at the university. Admission requirements for this program are the same as those for admission to our other two, traditional, special ed programs.

Please provide any additional comments about the information provided above:

An applicant must provide verification of her/his employment as a special education teacher and a letter of application describing professional experiences and academic/professional goals.

===== PAGE 5 =====
Provide the number of students in the teacher preparation program in the following categories. Note that you must report on the number of students by ethnicity and race separately. Individuals who are non-Hispanic/Latino will be reported in one of the race categories. Also note that individuals can belong to one or more racial groups, so the sum of the members of each racial category may not necessarily add up to the total number of students enrolled.

For the purpose of Title II reporting, an enrolled student is defined as a student who has been admitted to a teacher preparation program, but who has not completed the program during the academic year being reported. An individual who completed the program during the academic year being reported is counted as a program complete and not an enrolled student.

Additional guidance on reporting race and ethnicity data.

Option 6 candidates do not engage in a final clinical experience (e.g., student teaching), as do candidates in traditional routes to certification.

We are recruiting from inside Kentucky in a "grow your own" effort and we are revising our traditional special ed program to be more current, relevant, and engaging. Our numbers have dropped due to our following KY regulations, as well as our own policies and procedures. Once everyone understands and supports the changes, the program should grow. In addition, sadly, the professor we hired in fall 2015 passed away in fall 2016 and we have relied on two adjunct professors this year (2016-2017). This has delayed our plans for this program.

Yes

Provide a description of the evidence your program uses to show that it prepares special education teachers to teach students with disabilities effectively, including training related to participation as a member of individualized education program teams, as defined in section 614(d)(1)(B) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and to effectively teach students who are limited English proficient. Include planning activities and a timeline if any of the three elements listed above are not currently in place.

Candidates in this alternative program are employed as special education teachers. They plan for, teach, and assess students with special needs every day. They participate actively in the planning and implementation of IEPs and ARC meetings. Their abilities in teach students with limited English proficiency vary with the populations of their schools. Their knowledge and skills in these areas are assessed via course assignments, direct observations, and conferences with their mentor teachers and university-based educators.

## Section VII Contextual Information

Please use this space to provide any additional information that describes your teacher preparation program(s). You may also attach information to this report card. The U.S. Department of Education is especially interested in any evaluation plans or interim or final reports that may be available.

As an HBCU, culture has been a foundational theme for our university since its inception in 1865. In today's state, national, and international climate, we need a strong emphasis on cultural competence. Therefore, it is fundamental to the new mission and vision of the School of Education adopted by our Teacher Education Committee in spring 2017. In addition, it is stated clearly in our third core value: Cultural Competence (We fully appreciate our own cultural roots and we believe that understanding and valuing the cultures of others leads to authentic connections and relationships.) and implied in our fourth core value (Social Justice – We believe that equitable access to resources and opportunities is the key to personal growth, professional accomplishments, and systemic change.) As we worked toward this new strategic plan, in fall 2016, we developed a new course, Cultural Competence, that we piloted that semester and this. It is being received enthusiastically by our candidates; its enrollment doubled from fall to spring. Now, in fact just last week, our Faculty Senate and University Liberal Studies Committee approved offering this course campus-wide as one of our options in inter-global studies, as part of the liberal studies core. In addition, our cultural competence initiative is being used as a foundation for the university's new SACS QEP.
