=Welcome to the Oakland University Ed.S. Faculty Wiki != OU-EdS-Faculty.wikispaces.com
 * All full and part time faculty members who teach in the Educational Specialist degree program are not only members of this wiki but also editors. After you respond to the invitation to join our wiki, it may take me a couple days to change your status from "member" to "editor", which will allow you to work within the wiki.**
 * 1. Click on the course(s) that you teach. Courses are listed in the Navigation column at the left.**
 * 2. Click on Edit at the far right and an Editor tool bar will open above.**
 * 3. Place your cursor where you want to type your message about whatever you are going to share on our wiki. Always remember to click Save on the tool bar before leaving a page.**
 * 4. The first order of business is to make certain that I have you listed for the correct courses. Feel free to edit my mistakes.**
 * 5. I am asking all faculty to place their syllabi as a file on their course page(s). Click on Edit and then File in the tool bar and a box will open. Click on Upload Files and select your syllabus. Once your syllabus file loads into the box, click on it. You'll want to identify your file by typing your name and a sentence or two about the assignments and your efforts to connect them to practice. I have a sample on the EA 740 page.**
 * 5. Finally, __click on Save__. Then, check to see if your document will open properly.**
 * 6. To link an article to your course page: Copy the URL of the article; Go to our wiki and to your page; click edit; type a message about whatever article you are about to link; Highlight a word or a few words that identify the artcle; click on link in the tool bar; click on external; paste the url that you copied into the box; click save.**
 * Thanks for your participation.**

= The 2009 **ELCC Standards**, which have been adopted by NCATE, provide a user-friendly basis for reviewing our EdS program. As we develop for each course a common performance activity with a common assessment allowing for the collection of data to monitor student growth and program effectiveness, the middle and right columns of this ELCC document will be of valuable assistance. =
