Revision of the Teacher Education Minor in English as an International Language, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Urbana T h e Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved revisions of the Teacher Education minor in English as an International Language offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Council on Teacher Education. This revision brings the minor into compliance with requirements by the Illinois Office of Education and divides the minor into two tracks. Track 1 is designed to prepare students to teach English overseas or in intensive English institutes within the United States, while Track 2 is intended to accommodate students who plan to apply for approval on their teaching certificates that will permit them to teach English as an International Language in the public schools. This second track meets all Illinois State Board of Education approval requirements. T h e total hours in the minor have been reduced from 27-29 to 21-24. There are no financial implications. Revision to Curricula Preparatory to Teaching in the Colleges of Agriculture, Applied Life Studies, Education, Fine and Applied Arts, and Liberal Arts and Sciences, Urbana T h e Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved revisions to curricula preparatory to teaching in the Colleges of Agriculture, Applied Life Studies, Education, Fine and Applied Arts, and Liberal Arts and Sciences. These revisions are necessary because the Illinois State Board of Education has mandated new general education requirements for teacher education certification that take effect for graduates who seek certification after June 30, 1992. T h e Council on Teacher Education developed a strong general education plan to satisfy these new requirements rather than simply adding courses program-by-program. This plan adopts several innovations (such as increased writing, a non-Western course, and a laboratory science experience) that are consistent with the adoption of the new campus general education requirements
