DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM 1. Location of certification program. The Health Education program is a part of the Department of Health and Human Performance and follows the same mission statement of educating students, conducting research, and engaging in public service activities that address the whole person, providing a wellness approach to living and learning. With a background of classes provided by this institution, our students are prepared to be lifelong learners. Our university, college, department and certification area are all committed to offer a curriculum of high quality. Professional standards are being met to ensure that our students become competent, caring health educators.

The content information required by DESE for this Certification is taught through the Department of Health and Human Performance, and the Department of Psychology.

2. Type of degree earned by completers and 3. Type of Program

Because the Health Education Certification program is an add-on certification, candidates must earn a degree with teaching certification in at least one area. This can be done previously to or concurrently with the coursework for the Health Education Certification.

4. Requirements for degree

The University of Central Missouri does not have a degree related to Health at this time.

As an add-on certification, the Health Education Certification candidates have no specific requirements other than passing the required courses. Because this certification is tied to another teaching cerfication, the requirements follow the basic teacher education program requirements. These would include admission to the UCM Teacher Education Program after completing a minimum of 48 semester hours with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 on a 4-point scale. The other criteria for being admitted in the Teacher Education Program include: (1) completing specific introductory courses with a grade of C or higher, (2) obtaining a recommendation from the department representing their major area of study, (3) passing all sections of the College Basic Academic Subjects Examination for Teachers (CBASE), and (4) passing a criminal history background check.

Students working toward Health Education Certification have the opportunity to student teach in Health, but there is no requirement to that effect. Most students do their student teaching in their major area and apply for Health Certification at the time of graduation. Their transcripts may be sent to DESE for certification by the student, the Certification Office of the University, or the school where they obtain a teaching position.

5. Number of hours/semesters/years to complete

The numbers of hours required by DESE to complete the Health Education Certification are as follows:

To teach Health PK-9 29 hours To teach Health 9-12 30 hours To teach Health PK-12 32 hours

These hours can be taken at any time during a student’s education. Classes may be transferred in from other schools (with the approval of the Health Program Coordinator and department chair). Students can start or finish this certification after graduation at the request of the school where they are teaching. There is no time frame for completion of the certification.

6. Size of certification program Because of the nature of this add-on certification program, there is no way to know how many students actually become certified to teach Health. The only record the University has of the number of students who acquired this certification is from the ones who apply through the University’s Certification Office. This number does not reflect those who might finish the certification at a later date or take the Health Praxis (as an alternative to taking the courses).

7. Certification program history My understanding of the history of this program is that as health was added to the core curriculum by the adoption of the Missouri Show-Me Standards in 1996, DESE brought together a group of educators from across the state to create standards that health educators should meet to prepare them to teach health. This evolved into a set of classes that should be required for certifying future health teachers. The core classes and number of credit hours required were established with colleges and universities in Missouri adjusting their hours to work with the state’s requirements.

8. How the program integrates and is coherent with the Unit’s Conceptual Framework (CF). The conceptual framework highlights the beliefs, values, and practices of those individuals responsible for teacher education at the University of Central Missouri. The mission and goals of the various instructional units within the University complement one another in their support of quality. Although the experiences of the individuals who matriculate through the different education programs at UCM may vary, they nonetheless receive a consistent body of knowledge related to the teaching/learning process as well as instruction in effective educational practices. The Teacher Education Program (TEP) at UCM remains committed to meeting high expectations for programmatic excellence. Furthermore, the TEP is integral to Missouri's future, enhancing the economic health, educational opportunity, and quality of life for its citizens. Professional Education Faculty (PEF) endorse the knowledge, skills, and dispositions supported by the following ideological tenets:  Contemporary school personnel must have the ability to gather, synthesize, and utilize information to make informed decisions about teaching and learning. - HED 1100 Personal Health - HED 1350 Responding to Emergencies - HED 3310 Elementary Health Methods

- HED 3360 Secondary Health Methods - HED 4300 Nutrition and Human Performance - HED 4310 Drugs and Youth - HED 4320 Teaching Sex Ed in the Schools - HED 4390 Community Health  Candidates will become a competent, caring, reflective practitioner committed to the premise that all can learn - HED 3310 Elementary Health Methods - HED 3360 Secondary Health Methods - HED 4300 Nutrition and Human Performance - HED 4310 Drugs and Youth - HED 4320 Teaching Sex Ed in the Schools - HED 4390 Community Health  Frequent and varied field experiences are absolutely essential in the development of candidates, and provide faculty with essential linkages to the practitioner community, further strengthening the Teacher Education Program. - HED 3310 Elementary Health Methods - HED 3360 Secondary Health Methods - HED 4320 Teaching Sex Ed in the Schools - HED 4390 Community Health  The professional values diversity and believes everyone can learn. - HED 3310 Elementary Health Methods - HED 3360 Secondary Health Methods - HED 4320 Teaching Sex Ed in the Schools - HED 4390 Community Health The Health Education Certification program provides courses, experiences, and assessments which address the aforementioned tenets.

9. How certification program, course outcomes, field experiences, and student evaluation are aligned to the professional knowledge base on which the Unit’s beliefs and goals are constructed. The health education courses use discipline-specific, performance-based assessments that are aligned with the Conceptual Framework, Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) standards. Students seeking certification in Health have the option of taking all of the health courses or just taking the Health Praxis test.

CHARACTERISTICS OF PROGRAM CANDIDATES

There is no way to track the number of students who have become certified in Health from the University of Central Missouri because students do not have to be ‘admitted’ or recognized as participating in the program. To most students, it is an afterthought because they discover that after having worked toward a minor in Health, the requirement is only two more classes in order to be certified by the state to teach it. (Elementary School teachers can teach health without this certification.) Others finish up after graduation – once they have a job requiring the certification. Students do not need the certification to graduate or get a job.

This table shows the number of declared Health minors. This has no real bearing on the number of persons actually obtaining Health Education Certification. A student can minor in Health, but not complete the two extra courses required for the certification. If the students were elementary education majors who declared Health as a minor, they don’t need to complete certification because they are automatically ‘certified’ to teach Health on the elementary level after they have taken the Elem. Health Methods course (HED 3310). Certification is only required for a person to teach Health on the middle or high school level.

Candidate Persistence

There is no information available pertaining to the persistence of participants because they are not admitted or recognized as seeking the certification.

CERTIFICATION PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS See Appendix C for a list of courses of required courses. Appendix A contains all syllabi for the courses and Appendix B shows the crosswalk between the courses and the MoStep and DESE standards for all courses.

The Health Education Certification can be obtained by either completing the required courses, or by receiving a passing score on the health Praxis.

Students are advised by Dr. Marilyn Grechus, coordinator for the Health program, or Dr. J. Dirk Nelson, chair of the Department of Health & Human Performance. The sheet given to students is included in Appendix C.

Because this certification is not required for graduation, there is no checklist for completion before graduation.

COURSE LIST See Appendix D for the catalog listings of courses.

MATRICES See Appendix B.

DESCRIPTION OF FIELD EXPERIENCES No field experiences are required for certification to teach Health. Participants will have completed student teaching in their major area to acquire their initial teaching certification. The Health Education Certification is an add-on to the initial certification requiring only the passing of the required classes or receiving a passing score on the Health Praxis.

DIVERSE CLASSROOM Health courses at the University teach to the diversity of students that will eventually be in the teacher’s future classroom. Several of the classes (i.e. methods classes and Community Health) specifically address certain issues specific to different populations.

DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM ASSESSMENT SYSTEM No program assessment system is in place for the Health Education Certification because students will receive the certification based on whether or not they pass the classses required by the state, or receiving a passing score on the Health Praxis.

There is no requirement to take the Praxis for Health Education Certification. It can be taken in lieu of completing any or all of the required courses. The university does not receive names of students who take the Health Praxis, only scores, therefore we will not know if someone takes the test for a second time.

TECHNOLOGY HED 3360 Secondary Health Methods class requires students to use technology in the lesson that they present to the class. This assignment encourages incorporation of PowerPoint, Internet sites, etc. to be included in their 50 minute presentation. HED 4390 Community Health has an online session where several websites are used by students. The face-to-face Community Health class must prepare an ad and a brochure to present to the class. The HED 4310 Drugs and Youth classes are taught totally online using Blackboard. All of the health classes are considered hybrid in that they incorporate Blackboard into the classes. Some courses present material in ways other than face-to-face. “Lectures” are sometimes presented using Adobe Connect and videos are streamed to use in Blackboard. Health faculty incorporate technology where it is appropriate and useable to both enhance their teaching and model to their students.

FACULTY The Health faculty consists of two full-time (one tenured, the other on a non-tenure track) and 3 adjuncts. The PE and Psychology faculty who teach courses for the Health Education Certification are all on the tenure track. All vitae can be reviewed with other members of the Professional Education faculty. All teachers are listed in the Course Offerings table. Through the College of Education and its centers, UCM's faculty and staff provide a variety of supports for first- and second-year teachers. The Missouri Center for Career Education oversees two teacher induction programs for the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, Division of Career Education: the New Teacher Institute and the Missouri statewide career education mentoring program. The New Teacher Institute is both an induction program to help new career education teachers adapt to the classroom and the first course of required college course work to receive a Missouri secondary career education teaching certificate. The statewide mentoring program pairs new career educators with a qualified mentor in their area of instruction for a two-year mentoring relationship.The Central Regional Professional Development Center supports the school districts in 14 west-central Missouri counties by providing high quality professional development to beginning educators. The Center provides both beginning teacher assistant programs and mentor training. The Center also partners with University departments and faculty to offer a Beginning Teacher Workshop each spring. Beginning in the Fall of 2008, the College of Education has also hosted a blog for graduates and first- and second-year teachers in the RPDC area.

PROGRAM RESOURCES The Health Education Certification program has no funding. Because all of the courses are regularly offered on campus, there is no need for extra funding.
