Carnegie Foundation as well as
interim meetings.
Chin was selected for her project
"Modeling and Practicing Team
Teaching in Preservice Teacher Edu­
cation," which examines how teacher
education faculty members work at
team teaching in a new secondary
credential program.
The UCTE recently adopted a
new approach to the preparation of
secondary teachers that requires
students to spend more time work­
ing in local schools. The program
gives student teachers more oppor­
tunities to apply the theories
learned at the university in actual
K -12 classrooms.
The new program also requires
the teacher education faculty to col­
laborate in planning and teaching the
new courses, activities not typical of
most university teaching. By study­
ing the process of team
teaching, Chin hopes to identify the
personal and institutional factors that
support successful team teaching.
She will also examine whether team
teaching at the university may per­
suade student teachers to try this
practice with colleagues in their
own schools.
Tomasini proposed a project
titled "Empowering Student Teach­
ers to Talk About Difference; An
Alternative Model for Multicul­
tural Education."
The project examines how stu­
dent teachers learn to deal with the
challenges of teaching students who
are different from themselves.
" In traditional university class­
rooms, students are expected to sit
quietly and absorb what the profes­
sor says," Tomasini said. "This is
not a good model of teaching for
future teachers."
The project focuses on how one
university professor changes the
dynamics of her classroom to
make it safe for all students to par­
ticipate equally.
"This approach models forms of
democratic teaching that we would
wish future teachers to emulate,"
Tomasini said. D

'Earned hours' clarified
To alleviate confusion between the
total number of hours a student has earned
and the hours that count toward the
student's degree, Academic Records has
added a note to undergraduate transcripts:
" Not all units appearing in Higher Ed
Earned Hours (EHRS) are necessarily
applicable to student's current degree
program."
This notation will also appear on the
Unofficial Undergraduate Transcript in
SIS (screen 136) and for all students in
the grade section ofMustanglnfo.
In addition, Academic Records will
include the number of higher ed EHRS
that are applicable to the respective de­
gree on the Official and Unofficial
Transcript as degree credit evaluations
are completed.
For more information, call Kathi
Peterson in Evaluations at ext. 6-5923. D

A team of representatives from other
institutions wil l vis it campus March 28-31
to discuss, with selected individuals, issues
aris ing from the campus's re-accreditation
se lf-study.
The visit will end with an exit session
at which the team representing the West­
ern Association of Schools and Colleges
(WASC) will discuss their preliminary
findings with President Baker, Provost
Zingg and the campus community. The
session is tentatively set for 11:30 a.m.
March 31 in UU 220.
The self-study, conducted over the past
two years by the faculty, the staff and
students, is part of the process of reaffirm­
ing Cal Poly's WASC accreditation.
Accreditation not only recognizes the
quality of an institution 's degree programs
but also is a prerequisite for certain fed­
eral funds such as financial aid.
The recently completed self-study,
characterized by WASC as an "innovative
self-study," differs from those conducted
in the past by focusing on a topic chosen
by the university itself, namely "Cal Poly
as a Center of Learning."
The self-study can be reviewed on line
at http://www. wasc.calpoly.edu/innova­
tivelreports/reports_index.htm . D

Carnegie Foundation as well as
interim meetings.
Chin was selected for her project
"Modeling and Practicing Team
Teaching in Preservice Teacher Edu­
cation," which examines how teacher
education faculty members work at
team teaching in a new secondary
credential program.
The UCTE recently adopted a
new approach to the preparation of
secondary teachers that requires
students to spend more time work­
ing in local schools. The program
gives student teachers more oppor­
tunities to apply the theories
learned at the university in actual
K -12 classrooms.
The new program also requires
the teacher education faculty to col­
laborate in planning and teaching the
new courses, activities not typical of
most university teaching. By study­
ing the process of team
teaching, Chin hopes to identify the
personal and institutional factors that
support successful team teaching.
She will also examine whether team
teaching at the university may per­
suade student teachers to try this
practice with colleagues in their
own schools.
Tomasini proposed a project
titled "Empowering Student Teach­
ers to Talk About Difference; An
Alternative Model for Multicul­
tural Education."
The project examines how stu­
dent teachers learn to deal with the
challenges of teaching students who
are different from themselves.
" In traditional university class­
rooms, students are expected to sit
quietly and absorb what the profes­
sor says," Tomasini said. "This is
not a good model of teaching for
future teachers."
The project focuses on how one
university professor changes the
dynamics of her classroom to
make it safe for all students to par­
ticipate equally.
"This approach models forms of
democratic teaching that we would
wish future teachers to emulate,"
Tomasini said. D

'Earned hours' clarified
To alleviate confusion between the
total number of hours a student has earned
and the hours that count toward the
student's degree, Academic Records has
added a note to undergraduate transcripts:
" Not all units appearing in Higher Ed
Earned Hours (EHRS) are necessarily
applicable to student's current degree
program."
This notation will also appear on the
Unofficial Undergraduate Transcript in
SIS (screen 136) and for all students in
the grade section ofMustanglnfo.
In addition, Academic Records will
include the number of higher ed EHRS
that are applicable to the respective de­
gree on the Official and Unofficial
Transcript as degree credit evaluations
are completed.
For more information, call Kathi
Peterson in Evaluations at ext. 6-5923. D

A team of representatives from other
institutions wil l vis it campus March 28-31
to discuss, with selected individuals, issues
aris ing from the campus's re-accreditation
se lf-study.
The visit will end with an exit session
at which the team representing the West­
ern Association of Schools and Colleges
(WASC) will discuss their preliminary
findings with President Baker, Provost
Zingg and the campus community. The
session is tentatively set for 11:30 a.m.
March 31 in UU 220.
The self-study, conducted over the past
two years by the faculty, the staff and
students, is part of the process of reaffirm­
ing Cal Poly's WASC accreditation.
Accreditation not only recognizes the
quality of an institution 's degree programs
but also is a prerequisite for certain fed­
eral funds such as financial aid.
The recently completed self-study,
characterized by WASC as an "innovative
self-study," differs from those conducted
in the past by focusing on a topic chosen
by the university itself, namely "Cal Poly
as a Center of Learning."
The self-study can be reviewed on line
at http://www. wasc.calpoly.edu/innova­
tivelreports/reports_index.htm . D
