certification candidates graduating from May 2014 forward.
DASA workshop will be a prerequisite for all graduate programs
that require candidates to come in with an initial certificate
beginning spring 2014. Candidates who don't have this workshop
cannot be recommended for their second and/or professional
certification beginning in May 2014.
DASA Training completed by teachers in school districts
generally does not meet the DASA Requirement for teacher
certification.
Candidates graduating in December 2013 must apply for their
certification prior to December 31, 2013 to avoid the DASA
workshop requirement.
The DASA workshop requirement will be written in the catalog
and effective beginning with the Spring 2014 semester.

New SUNY Admission Requirements
for Teacher Education Programs
What we are being told:
 The 3.0 is a firm admissions requirement for all teacher
education programs. However, it is not a standard that needs
to be maintained throughout the program.
 More latitude for meeting this admissions standard with
freshmen than with transfers.
 Graduate programs will need to require applicants to take a
nationally-normed admissions test as a criteria for admissions
(along with a 3.0).
 Implementation details and discussions are still on-going.
Proposal to Retire TEC-CC
Proposal: Due to our campus’ growth in knowledge and
understanding of teacher education regulations and
guidelines, the members of the Teacher Education Council
believe that there is no longer a need for a separate level of
curricular review specifically related to teacher education
programs. Therefore, the TEC membership proposes
retiring the Teacher Education Council’s Curriculum
Committee (TEC-CC) from SUNY Cortland’s curricular
review process.
Proposed Process
1. Propose and discuss the proposal to retire the TEC-CC
from the SUNY Cortland Curriculum Review Process
at a meeting of the Teacher Education Council (TEC).
2. Revise the proposal per the TEC membership.
3. Conduct an electronic vote of TEC members to
endorse (or not) the proposal.
4. If the proposal is endorsed by the TEC membership,
forward proposal to the college’s Educational Policy
Committee for its review and action.

edTPA Updates 2
Information from edTPAWorkshop:
 Cut scores will be announced sometime in November.
 If candidates do not pass, they can resubmit one task for $100 or resubmit
a brand new edTPA for $300
 Resubmissions must contain completely new work - including completely
new video, new commentary and new student work samples, etc.
 Each task is evaluated based on the rubrics for that task and nothing else.
Each task must stand on its own merit.
 No edTPA for: Speech Pathology, Ed Tech Specialist, or for candidates
entering the field through career and tech ed pathways
 If we encounter resistance from school districts in allowing our candidates
to complete the edTPA, NYSED will assist.
edTPA/NYSTCE Vouchers
 SUNY Cortland received 25 vouchers for edTPA and 50

vouchers for NYSTCE exams from NYSED.
Each voucher covers the cost of the one exam.
Vouchers are meant to support candidates who may struggle
to pay for NYSTCE exams due to a demonstrated financial
need.
On November 1, we hope to make available an application
for candidates to apply for these vouchers.
Students must have FAFSA and be Pell eligible.
DISCUSSION
