EA 740 School As A Formal Organization (4 cr.)
The first course in the Ed.S. Program is taught by the cohort's coordinator, a full-time faculty member. Within this course, the internship and Ed.S. Program Standards Support File are both introduced. Cohort coordinators are Brian Clark (Macomb, Grand Blanc, Galileo), Shannon Flumerfelt (Distance Learning), Ilene Ingram (Main Campus), Bob Maxfield (Bloomfield & Galileo).

The Program Standards Support File was approved by the EdS Committee in 2009, to replace the EdS Portfolio. The copy linked below does not present the actual format in that it is pushed to the left side of the page. The actual form provides students with a full page of wider boxes in which to record their information. https://mail.google.com/a/oakland.edu/?ui=2&ik=7d5fbd95a1&view=att&th=1285bf00a1c39959&attid=0.1&disp=vah&realattid=f_g268bwt70&zw

Brian Clark I taught EA 740 in fall '09 to both the Macomb cohort and the Galileo cohort. This is the syllabus I used. Bob Maxfield and I developed the Galileo version together. When you look at the assignments, we draw your attention to our effort to connect the two main assignments resulting in a requirement that our students create a Leadership Action Plan. They are expected to carry out their plan as part of their EdS internship. Their Action Plan will also be linked to an assignment in EA 743, the final program seminar that each of will teach to our respective cohorts. Our overall intention is to increase connections between EdS classwork with actual performance by the students in the field.
