Integrated Teacher Preparation Program Framework for Articulation:
Principles for Implementation
AS-2626-03/AA - November 13-14, 2003
RESOLVED: That the Academic Senate of the California State University (CSU)
recommend to the Chancellor the following principles for the implementation of the
Integrated Teacher Preparation framework for articulation:
- If required, program and curricular changes to accommodate Integrated Teacher
Programs must be achieved subject to the normal approval processes of the individual
campuses
- Appropriate funding must be provided by the system for faculty travel to the
necessary meetings to achieve the required systemwide, regional, and local agreements
as mandated in Title 5 and defined in the framework.
RATIONALE: The implementation of Integrated Teacher Preparation programs,
as recommended in AS-2611-03/AA/TEKR and AS-2622-03/AA/TEKR and mandated in recent
changes to Title 5, requires substantial, collaborative work among the California State
Universities and the California Community Colleges. The collaboration will be on
systemwide, regional, and local levels.
In spite of recent recommendations against continuing legislative intrusion (AS-2601-03/AA),
the Senate recommendations to change Title 5 and the subsequent work of the Integrated
Teacher Preparation Task Force were spurred by SB 81 (Alpert). It is important to ensure
that such legislative mandates do not result in initiatives that bypass longstanding
mechanisms of shared governance, especially those traditionally observed at the individual
campuses.
Fulfilling the mandates of SB 81 and the Board of Trustees' changes to Title 5 will require
substantial time and travel by a substantial number of faculty over a number of years. The
CSU must provide adequate travel support.
