II Increasing pedagogical and research expertise in the critical areas of science and mathematics teacher preparation: Ronald Tzur (associate professor) and Karen Flanagan, Leigh Ann Haefner, and Eileen Parsons (all assistant professors) have been appointed in Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education. The database to permit the College to respond more completely to requests from NCATE, the AACTE Report, the IHE State Report, Title II Federal Report, Department of Public Instruction updates, reports to UNC-GA, and others is in place.

III Working with the CMAST consortium to develop distance learning, extension and summer programs/courses for inservice and preservice educators in rural areas: The hiring of the CMAST coordinator has been put on hold pending news of the 2001-2002 budget. The Department of Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education received a grant to develop a unilateral program with Carteret Community College and other members of the CMAST consortium. This also includes the visit of CCC students to the NC State campus and the development and teaching of courses and workshop for inservice teachers in the CCC service area.

IV Increase support for faculty research through internal, state, federal and foundation funds: The position of college Director of Research Development was created and Lydia Tolar was hired, effective February 8, 2001, and we have begun to reorganize the Accounting, Contracts, and Grants Office to dedicate two, full-time positions to preaward functions. The quantity of proposals, the extent of funding requested, and the number of faculty involved are increasing. There is also a noticeable optimism among the faculty regarding granting.

V Develop excellence in Instructional Technology: Jane Steelman and Alan Foley were appointed as assistant professors in the instructional technology program in the Curriculum and Instruction department. These two positions will help to promote professional development in IT, research in the area of IT, the use of IT in the classroom, and growth of the IT graduate program.

VI Enhance the Adult and Community College Education programs: A search for the Joseph D. Moore Chair in Community College Leadership ended with the appointment of Larry Tyree a nationally distinguished community college leader with over 25 years as a college president. This appointment has garnered national attention and heightened opportunity for the ACCE program to have national visibility and greater resources for its activities.

VII Plan and build the Centennial Campus Center for Educational Innovation: The vision for the Center was revised to focus on research on teaching and learning in technology-enhanced environments. We advertised the new vision at the Emerging Issues Forum and by giving tours to selected individuals. Plans for fund raising for the building adjacent to the Middle School are the top priority now that a new college development officer is now in place.

VIII Create a Learning Technologies Resource Center (LTR Center) in Poe Hall and strengthen program capacity in technology-enabled teaching and learning: A team of faculty, administrators, and staff has developed a plan to reorganize and integrate all computing and instructional technology functions in the College. Implementation of the plan awaits budget decisions for 2001-2002. The proposed Model Teaching and Learning Studio was opened in Poe 417 and a facilities modification request has gone forward to begin preliminary renovations to the fifth floor of Poe Hall. In May we conducted a full week of workshops to enhance faculty use of technology in teaching.

Diversity: Initiatives and Progress

The College of Education diversity initiative, "The Teachers Our Children Deserve: Reconceptualizing Teacher Preparation for North Carolina's Increasingly Diverse K-12 Schools" involves three components: 1) expanding learning experiences offered in the undergraduate course ECI 305 Principles of Teaching Diverse Populations, 2) increasing the diversity among the CED faculty by building a cadre of adjunct faculty of color, and 3) the Leadership Institute for Future Teachers (LIFT), a program designed to introduce students of color to the teaching profession. Seed money was awarded to the College via the provost's initiative. We have initiated dialog to reconceptualize requirements for study of diversity in all teacher education curricula. Additionally, the first LIFT session will be held in the summer of 2002.

The College of Education faculty and students are substantially more diverse than the University totals in regard to the representation of females and people of color.

Instructional Program Advances

The Educational Leadership faculty completed an extensive review of the curriculum culminating in several successful course actions. Faculty members in Curriculum and Instruction redesigned the master's degree program in business and marketing education to be submitted for approval as a distance learning degree, developed the first teacher education course in the country that focuses on GIS in education, and made significant progress in developing curriculum for the instructional technology graduate programs. Faculty in Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education revised significantly all of the masters degree programs, developed lateral entry programs for mathematics and science education, and began a review of all preservice teacher education programs. The Adult and Community College Faculty, with a DELTA grant, is developing a distance education master's program in training and development and creating a community college teaching certificate program.

Research

Research expenditures in the College of Education and Psychology for 2000-2001 totaled approximately $2,900,000. Proposal production since the appointment of the new director of research development has increased several fold compared to the same period last year.

Other important achievements include appointing the college director of research development, expanding the preaward section of the research office, and negotiating the alignment of the Psychology Department with the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. This latter activity will result in changing our name to College of Education as of July 1, 2001. The College is preparing for a combined NCATE/North Carolina Department of Public Instruction accreditation review in Spring 2002. The Centennial Campus Middle School, a cooperative project between Wake County Public Schools and the College of Education and Psychology, began operations in July, 2000.

Recommendations and concerns for the future

As the College of Education works to becomes a research intensive professional college with national aspirations, the new vision for the Centennial Campus Center for Educational Innovation is a centerpiece for the College vision as a whole and a means for people inside and outside the University to see what a 21st century college of education can be. The whole of the compact plan is designed synchronistically: The new faculty positions, the research development officer, the focus on technology coupled with the new Center for Educational Innovation and Poe Hall renovations all strengthen the research capacity of the College which is essential for the Center to succeed. Simultaneously, the presence of the center heightens the visibility of the College and will likely attract more interest and support, particularly for the anticipated growth in graduate student enrollment.

In line with this vision we make the following recommendations:

• Reward the College more adequately for its enrollment gains in undergraduate, graduate and distance education programs. The College faces increasing costs of instruction to prepare teachers for technology-enabled environments. Improve the incentives and support for distance education programs, including lateral entry teacher preparation programs.
• Support and enhance faculty research activity. For the first time this year, new hires in the College received a modicum of start up funds. We need additional money to seed other faculty, particularly those who show strong potential.
• Support the College in its quest to build the Center for Educational Innovation and to create a presence on the Centennial Campus for educational enterprises that compliment the Center.
