Extractions: DEGREE INFO COURSE OFFERINGS FACULTY/STAFF Continuing Accreditation Report INSTITUTIONAL OVERVIEW Cameron University evolved from a residential agricultural high school in 1908 to a university granting both undergraduate and graduate degrees in the late 1980s. Its changes in name along the way depict the metamorphosis: Cameron State School of Agriculture in 1908; Cameron State Agricultural College in 1927; Cameron College in 1971; Cameron University in 1974. At each stage of this history, Cameron University has been responsive to the educational needs of the constituents of the institution. As noted in the Universitys 1994 Academic Plan, Any characterization of Cameron University must account for the fact that every milestone in the evolution of the institutions mission was reached as a result of heroic efforts by local citizens and their elected representatives. Even more important, it is essential to understand that in each instance those efforts were undertaken because a need for access to additional programs and services at the higher education level had become critical to the economic and cultural well-being of the region. In its nine decades of existence, Cameron has consistently and vigorously responded to the needs of its constituents and thus has earned a place in that category of institutions called interactive universities. Camerons President Don Davis, influenced by a publication from the American Association of State Colleges and Universities entitled The Interactive University: A Source of American Revitalization, first used this term to describe Cameron in the early 1990s. Through President Daviss leadership the concept has become generally accepted and implemented.

Extractions: and Endorsement Categories in the States July 2004 Teacher certification in special education has become a hot topic after the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 along with the highly qualified teacher definition that accompanied it. With the ever-present teacher shortage in special education, states are becoming hard pressed to properly staff and train special education teachers for their school districts. In the past several years, many states have been re-organizing of their special education teacher certification system to meet the changing demands on certifying special education teachers. This StateNote focuses on the different types of certification systems and the endorsement areas for special education teachers in the states. The certification systems have been divided into three categories: generalist, mild/moderate-severe/profound and categorical. These categories were used because it nearly splits the states into thirds. The mild/moderate-severe/profound classification, even though it relies on a general classification, was used because of the increase in this type of certification system. States such as Kansas and North Carolina recently have revised their systems to adopt the mild/moderate-severe/profound classification. Brief definitions of the classification categories are as follows:
Extractions: The Survey of Teacher Certification and State-Based Standards and Assessments for Teachers and Students is a collaborative effort of: American Historical Association Organization of American Historians s A central goal of this project was to develop a snapshot of precollegiate history education in the 50 states and Washington, D.C. Hired by the Organization of American Historians as the lead researcher for this OAH/AHA project, Sarah Drake Brown requested information in the following categories: certification requirements for history teachers at the elementary, middle, and high school levels standards in history for teachers standards in history for the K-12 curriculum high school graduation requirements and exit examination requirements in history state criterion-referenced examinations in history statewide resources for history teachers and contact information for state history/social studies specialists statewide associations for teacher membership This proved to be a massive amount of data, so the information was collected in separate steps: independent searches for data, preliminary public presentations of initial findings, and early contact with numerous representatives in history education from each of the states and the District of Columbia. Preliminary data was then collected from the web sites created and maintained by the various departments of education and certifying bodies in each of the states. This information was then compiled into reports for each state, organized into sections based on the categories listed above.

Oklahoma Educational Standards And Accountability Plan Maintain a commitment to National teacher certification. In the past year 39 of100 oklahoma teachers have passed the national certification standards the http://www.oksenate.gov/publications/issue_papers/OK_Educ_Plan.html
Extractions: and Accountability Plan Most people respond to standards and incentives. Incentives are routinely used to encourage desirable behavior. Standards with incentives work in many organizations including business and universities. Because they expect later compensation in money and prestige, ambitious college students strive for academic performance. Students hope to be recruited by a major corporation or for admission to a top graduate or professional school. It seems a good time to raise the question whether incentivized standards can work in schools as they do in much of the rest of society. Some have been disappointed with the results of past educational reforms. Would standards, coupled with incentives work better? Would, for example, schools perform better if they had specific goals and standards to meet? Would state-funded incentives encourage students to take rigorous high school coursework so that college would be partially or completely funded? Isn't it appropriate for schools to be held accountable for their student's success or failure? To hold schools accountable there must be clear and precise standards that each individual school district and then each individual school site must meet. Standards driven reform is an idea that has been sweeping across the nation. Oklahoma attempted to establish the process for standards based reform over 3 years ago. HB 1100 would have required each school site to have specific goals to achieve in the area of test scores, improved attendance, reduced drop-out rate, etc. Unfortunately, the bill was vetoed
