EMU UP: University Prepared
Aligned to EMU’s strategic plan, this FDC experience will consist of a one-day workshop that provides an opportunity for faculty participants to learn about the new and innovative 2+2 Early Childhood Education, a fully online community-based undergraduate teacher preparation program. We will focus on program proposal process, which can be applied and tailored to various disciplines across Eastern Michigan University. Participants will explore aspects of the 2+2 program proposal development and follow a supportive project guide to support faculty in developing new and innovative program initiatives that can lead to a proposal from their own departments.
This program, facilitated by Dr. Christina Mirtes, Associate Professor of Teacher Education, and Dr. Jessica Grimone-Hopkins, Assistant Professor of Teacher Education, is open to all full-time faculty and full-time lecturers who are interested in learning about and creating innovative discipline-specific program development initiatives designed to meet the modern student's needs, help address low enrollment, and support current workforce demands. We will be joined at this program by Dr. Steve Pernecky, Interim Associate Provost and Vice President for Graduate Studies and Research, and Dr. Christine Knaggs, EMU’s Director of Online & Strategic Initiatives, who can work with participants and share their ideas regarding online and graduate programs.
