The grade is determined by the faculty member responsible for the course and is based upon factors related to achievement of the course objectives. The grade is considered final unless an appropriate appeal is filed by the student. For the student who is dissatisfied with a grade and has reason to believe the grade issued is incorrect, the following appeal procedure is provided by the College and the University. Steps 1 and 2 of the process are considered informal appeals and are designed to provide an avenue for resolution without a formal hearing. Step 1 Within fourteen (14) days of the beginning of the following term, the student shall confer with the instructor who issued the grade and outline the reason/s why he or she believes the grade to be incorrect. (If the faculty member is unavailable, the student must contact the faculty member's chairperson within this same time period to request an extension of the time allowed for this step. Such permission must be obtained in writing.) Within seven (7) days of the student- faculty conference, the faculty member shall advise the student, in writing, of the outcome of the course grade review. Step 2 If the student still considers the grade to be incorrect, the student may appeal the grade at the department level. This appeal must be in writing, must follow the procedures outlined in the College's Grade Appeal Process document, and must be filed not later than seven (7) days from the date of the completion of step one. The College Grade Appeal Process document may be picked up from the department office or the office of the dean. Step 3 If, after completion of step 2, the student is still dissatisfied, the student should consult with the University's due process officer and may request that the case be reviewed by a Weber State University hearing committee. Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction Program Director: Peggy Saunders Location: McKay Education Building, Room 235 Telephone Contact: Lynda Goucher 801-626-6278 Web site: weber.edu/meduc The mission of the Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction (MEd) program is to extend the professional knowledge, skills and attitudes of educators in schools, business, industry, and higher education through advancing the theoretical and practical applications of curriculum and instruction. The program is approved the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The MEd program with the organizing theme of Teacher as Reflective Practitioner is practice-oriented, and the purposes, processes, outcomes, and evaluation are explicated by a model represented by the acronym TREC: Teachers Reflecting, Engaging, and Collaborating. The components, reflecting, engaging, and collaborating, serve as a framework for organizing course work and program development. The goals of the curriculum reflect an emphasis on preparing master educators who: • are reflective of their own practices and their impact on students; • engage students through a variety of strategies to ensure growth in knowledge and learning processes that they might become independent life-time learners; • collaborate with peers and students in learning communities; • engage in research to improve educational practices and those of peers. In cooperation with the university, the program provides avenues for continuing professional development and continual learning for university faculty as well as students and encourages the university values of teaching, scholarship, and service.
