FOCUS ON…
JANE GOODMAN
Jane Goodman joined the faculty of the Department of Leadership and Counseling this past fall. She has had a "checkered" career, with jobs ranging from technical writing to operating an experimental art gallery, "The Young Collector."
Goodman has three children, four step-children, two step-sons-in-law, and two grandchildren. She loves hiking, walking, reading mysteries, entertaining, traveling, and loafing. She likes to think she speaks French--although she says the French do not agree--and she enjoys going places with no plans and no reservations.
She is a prolific author whose areas of expertise include consultation, career development, and counseling women as well as older persons. Within the next few months, at several locations, she will be conducting workshops for school counselors on group work and blended families and for helping professionals on mid-life transitions. Later in the spring, she will be presenting at the American Association for Counseling and Development on mid-life transitions.

MONEY MATTERS
At a recent mini-retreat of the Deans Advisory Council, Jerry Robbins presented $996,641 worth of immediate needs of the College of Education. Top priorities addressed included (a) additional FTEF to reduce student teacher ratios; (b) SS&M increases to address NCATE standards; (c) personnel increases to address NCATE standards; and (d) equipment needs to address NCATE concerns and program quality.
KNOWLEDGE BASE WORKSHOP
The February 7 "knowledge base" workshop--for all involved in any aspect of EMU's professional educator programs--will relate to NCATE Standard I-A: "Design of Curriculum."
"The unit ensures that its professional education programs are based on essential knowledge, established and current research findings, and sound professional practice. Each program in the unit reflects a systematic design with an explicitly stated philosophy and objectives. Coherence exists between (1) courses and experiences and (2) purposes and outcomes."
