Distributed Learning Program Proposal:
The University of North Texas, Educational Administration Program, Department
of Teacher Education and Administration
A Plan to Offer the Master's Degree in Educational Administration through the
UNT System Center Campus in cooperation with Region 10 Educational Service
Center, DeSoto lndependent School District, Frisco lndependent School District,
and Grapevine-Colleyville lndependent School District.
Our Distance Learning Goals:
The promotional materials for the proposed program will emphasize our commitment to
students in the Metroplex area:
To meet the need of growing school systems in the southern, central and
eastern areas of the Metroplex to train school administrators for leadership
positions in cooperation with their school districts in a quality program
comparable in scope to our on-campus programs.
To use technology to extend our curriculum, instruction, and advising to a
population of students who cannot drive to existing campus and off-campus
sites.
To use distance learning capability including electronic library access provided
by the UNT System Center to provide our graduates the best model and
experience for the preparation if school administrators in the 21"' century.
Need:
The tremendous growth of the Metroplex area has increased demand for administrators
throughout our service area. Traffic congestion in this area makes it extremely difficult
for people with full-time employment in area schools to drive to the Denton campus to
take advantage of our programs. There is a special need south and northeast of Dallas
and in surrounding areas for this program. Region 10 Educational Service proposed
working in a collaborative partnership to meet the needs of these areas served by this
center.
Marketing:
Region 10 Educational Service and the UNT System Center will both work in marketing
the program. At this time, we have 25 potential students who have expressed interest
in beginning a program in Fa11 2001. We expect the program to grow and continue with
further marketing efforts. School superintendents have approached the program with
requests to provide the program for training their teachers as future administrators. The
program coordinator will also meet with superintendents to build a continuing program.
Curriculum:
L
Overview:
The current master's degree program is also approved for the Principal's certificate
through the State Board of Education. The program consists of 36 hours of work for
the degree with 3 additional hours to meet certification requirements. The requirements
include 36 hours in Educational Administration including a capstone practicum, and 3
hours from one of the areas of research, curriculum and instruction, and educational
technology and computers. This curriculum is the same as the requirements for current
programs on campus. We will offer two courses each semester including the summer
term through Fall 2003. The classes will be primarily offered through two way video
(VTEL) and web-based classes with selected classes offered at the individual sites.

Instruction:
Instructional Challenges, Interaction, Comparabilitv
The classes will be primarily offered through two way video W E L ) and web-based
classes with selected classes offered at the individual sites. The following techniques
will be employed for most courses.
The provision of written materials via the WebCT site, textbooks, and UNT's
electronic reserve system.
Innovative assignments conducted in the student's local community.
Student centered research utilizing world-wide websites and use of the UNT
System Center electronic library capability.
Web-based, written examinations.
Personal communication with instructors via two-way video and electronic mail.
To date, faculty in the department have experience with use of the two- way video
instruction as the result of our MSU doctoral program, work with the Universities Center
program, and the current UNT System Center and Region 10 Educational Service
Center. Currently, faculty are developing two classes to be offered by WebCT access
and several of the Minor areas of study have developed web-based classes.
Experience from these courses has illustrated the value of using creative instruction
and taking advantage of the technology available through the university. The program
has developed clear learning objectives for classes and allows the faculty to focus
instruction on the concepts, facts, and skills students must master regardless of the
instructional technique. The infusion of distance learning technologies is a major goal
of the program to improve deliver of instruction to our students.
Faculty
The following faculty hold central responsibilities in the existing master's degree and
doctoral programs and will play an active role in delivering this program. Dr. Carrie
Ausbrooks, Dr. Bill Camp, Dr. Jay Cummings, Dr. Johnetta Hudson, Dr. Jane Huffman,
Dr. Frank Kemerer are current faculty members and will deliver instruction in this
program. Adjunct faculty that currently teach with our program include Dr. Linda
Stromberg and Dr. John Brooks will teach classes with the program. Adjunct faculty in
the area will also be identified to take and active role with the program. The program will
add clinical faculty with expertise in educational administration to complete the
instructional opportunities for this program.
U
Course Development
Several of the faculty have used UNT1sV-TEL system in the UNT-MSU doctoral
program and with courses offered to the Universities' Center at Dallas. They received
training from UNT to use the system effectively. Faculty will continue professional
development by work with the Center for Distributive Learning to develop courses for
delivery through the distance learning format. Faculty have current experience in
offering course in this format as well. The faculty will be utilizing graduate assistants1
help in developing these classes. Faculty will provide support to adjunct faculty in
offering these courses in this format. Region 10 Educational Service Center also
provides training for faculty to use their Ed-net 10 system.
Funding Model
The University's distance learning funding model would, based on the current fee
structure and 20-25 graduate students enrolled, generate revenues to support these
courses. Funding from the UNT System Center would provide funding, based on the
current model of supporting 113 of faculty salary and full cost of adjunct salary, to the
college and department to support this program. The College of Education also will
provide support for clinical and adjunct faculty to facilitate delivery of the program.
Region 10 Educational Service Center has provided approximately $12,000 to connect
T-I lines for offering this cooperative program. Region 10 Educational Service Center
is also providing a person to coordinate these program with the local sites and full-time
technical support at each site that the program is being offered.
Faculty Preparation
Faculty have already offered courses through this format using our MSU doctoral
program and programs offered to the Universities Center. Two faculty are currently
working on developing courses for WebCt delivery. Dr. Judith Adkison has offered
EDAD 6100 by this method in Fall 2000 and Dr. Johnetta Hudson is offering EDAD
5610 as a web-based course this summer (2001). Other faculty have and will take
web-based instruction offered through the UNT Center for Distributed Learning prior to
teaching classes. Adjunct faculty will receive help in developing courses to be delivered
in this program. We currently have a model for teaming faculty with adjunct faculty in
delivery of regular instruction and Region X has a training program for VTEL programs.
Access to Instructional Technoloqy
The School of Education has assembled the essential equipment and software for
producing distance learning materials. Faculty have access to digital video cameras,
flat-bed scanners, and screen-capture graphics software. Several faculty regularly use
Powerpoint presentations for regular classes. Faculty have Pentium-equipped
computers that operate at 200 MHz or better
L
The school districts receiving these classes through Region 10 Educational Service
Center have received major state grants to provide two-way video access and internet
accessibility. In many cases they are ahead of the department in their technology
capability.
Faculty Compensation
As proposed, VTEL and internet instruction will be developed and integrated into the
regular teaching load of the College of Education. Should enrollment expand to the
point of independent sections being offered, an incentive system of providing release
time or graduate assistants will be requested. These classes will be used in the regular
summer load of the program faculty. The Program will work with the College of
Education for establishing provisions and formula regulating such compensation
depending on the success of these program. The program will seek additional faculty
and adjunct faculty support depending on the size of the classes and available
resources of the College of Education and Department of Teacher Education and
Administration.
Ownership of Materials
The development of this program presumes joint investment on the part of Educational
Administration faculty and the University. While the precise character of the venture
may vary from course to course, the 50150 model offered by the university will serve as
the starting point for any negotiation that may be required. This model provides for
continued use of distance learning course materials by the course instructor and the
university should the instructor leave UNT.
Student Services and Resources for Learning
Admission. Registration, and Advising
Persons seeking admission to UNT will follow the traditional procedures as other
prospective students and will utilize UNT1steleregistration system to enroll for classes.
Advising will be available through regular faculty by telephone and electronic mail.
Traininq in Instructional Technology
Students will have access to hardware and software through the UNT System Center,
their local school district, or their own personal computers. Additional guidance will be
integrated into the classes. Students needing further assistance will be advised of
additional classes that they may take to improve skills in these areas.
Access to Materials
L
Courses employ textbooks available to distance learning students through the
University Book Store or by order over electronic systems. Instructors rely on materials
available widely through internet sources. Other materials can be accessed through the
UNT library and UNT System Center library. Copies of required video and films will be
requested from UNT's media library to meet all copyright requirements.
Access to Special Equipment
Not applicable
Commitment for Support:
The program is working directly with other program areas (curriculum and
instruction, educational research, and educational computing to offer classes to
these students). The CECS program offers the related courses at the UNT
System Center.
The students will complete appropriate internships as required in our regular
program. The Educational Administration program has a long history of working
with local school districts in the provision of these opportunities. The process
includes securing the approval through the superintendent of schools for each
cooperating school district.
The program will continue working cooperatively with Patrick Plush in all aspects
of offering this program and with working with Dr. Sandra Maddox with Region 10
Educational Service Center.
Evaluation and Assessment:
Student learning will be assessed with the measures commonly used with
graduate students including class participation, tests, written papers, case
studies, final exams, action research, portfolios and other appropriate
techniques.
Student satisfaction is assessed through course and college surveys and
documents.
Most students complete administrative certification requirements which require
passing a state administered test.
Faculty satisfaction is regularly monitored through regular program meetings and
retreats.
