College of Education still strong
By Sarah ClarV.
Ernes aid Reporter
Two year* ago this month, the College of Edu
cation was punched in the stomach After passage
of Ballot Measure 5. the college learned it would
have to shut down its elementary- and most of its
secondary-teacher licensure programs and close
advanced degree programs in curriculum and in
struction
"This was astonishing because institutions that
offer professional education train leaehers.” said
Elizabeth Clewett. director of the college s stu
dent support services.
"We experienced a significant identity crisis,
image crisis and a need to re-establish a position
within the state aftd nationally." said College of
Education Dean Martin Kaufman.
Two years later, the college is finding that posi
tion.
Traditionally, colleges of education train teach
ers for grades K-12. said Kaufman. When those
programs were eliminated, many people assumed
the entire college was eliminated, he said.
"It made the public say, 'Who are you?'" Kauf
man said.
Faculty, administrators and students at the col
lege also wondered about the college's identity?
Kaufman said.
The college quickly began losing students and
faculty.
By fall 1991, enrollment at the college had
dropped by about 1/3 — from 90S students in fall
1990 to 578 students in fall 1991. About 1/4 of
the college's students were in teacher education,
said Ciewett.
Non-tenurad faculty in curriculum and instruc
tion also left the school for secure positions else
wnere. i-acuiiy numnem nave aroppeo in aimosi
the same proportion as student numbers, from
61.23 full-time positions in 1990 to 36.48 full
time positions in 1992.
But the losses, though tragic for the people they
affected, did not diminish the college as a whole.
Kaufman said.
At the time of the cuts, the Oregon State System
of Higher Education had conducted a series of
supply and demand studies demonstrating that
Oregon does not have a shortage of elementary
and secondary-school teachers. The studies con
cluded that most of the K-12 teachers who would
work, in the 21st century are already working in
the classroom.
The College of Education is now responding to
those studies.
The college still trains people to teach foreign
languages, speech and special education — areas
in which Oregon schools have a need, Kaufman
said. But instead of creating new teachers in the
other areas, the college’s focus is mostly on im
proving teachers who are already in the class
room. Kaufman said.
For example, the college has a program for Eu
gene 4J District high-school teachers that gives
them skills they need to teach at elementary
schools.
The college has always done more than train K
12 teachers. Programs such as education adminis
tration and special education wore untouched.
Ivan Hernandez, a doctoral student in educa
tion administration, said the program he's in is
still strong, but it no longer benefits from having
curriculum and instruction students in the class
room.
"We still have a viable school of education," he
said. "It’s just at the graduate level.
