 * <span style="color: #353535; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Academic Honesty: **<span style="color: #353535; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Cheating and other forms of academic dishonesty run contrary to the purpose of higher education and will not be tolerated in this course. All forms of academic dishonesty will result in immediate notification of the academic integrity board for investigation. Please be advised that, when the instructor suspects plagiarism, the Internet and other standard means of plagiarism detection will be used to resolve the instructor’s concerns. DSU’s policy on academic integrity (DSU Policy <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">03-22-00 <span style="color: #353535; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">) is available online.


 * <span style="color: #353535; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Freedom in Learning Statement: **<span style="color: #353535; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Students are responsible for learning the content of any course of study in which they are enrolled. Under Board of Regents and University policy, student academic performance shall be evaluated solely on an academic basis and students should be free to take reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course of study. It has always been the policy of Dakota State University to allow students to appeal the decisions of faculty, administrative, and staff members and the decisions of institutional committees. //__<span style="color: #215868; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Students who believe that an academic evaluation is unrelated to academic standards but is related instead to judgment of their personal opinion or conduct should contact the dean of the college which offers the class to initiate a review of the evaluation. __//


 * <span style="color: #353535; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">University Policy Regarding the Use of Tablets in the Classroom: **<span style="color: #353535; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">The Tablet PC platform has been adopted across the DSU campus for all students and faculty, and tablet usage has been integrated into all DSU classes to enhance the learning environment. Tablet usage for course-related activities, note taking, and research is allowed and encouraged by DSU instructors. //__<span style="color: #984806; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">However, inappropriate and distracting use will not be tolerated in the classroom. __////__<span style="color: #353535; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> I __//<span style="color: #353535; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">nstructors set policy for individual classes and are responsible for informing students of class-specific expectations relative to Tablet PC usage. Failure to follow the instructor’s guidelines will hinder academic performance and may lead to disciplinary actions. Continued abuse may lead to increased tablet restrictions for the entire class.

<span style="color: #353535; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Because tablet technology is an integral part of this course, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that his/her Tablet PC is operational prior to the beginning of each class period.

Response time may be a little longer on weekends and holidays. My office hours are <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">[|(M & W mornings)] <span style="color: #353535; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">. I am also available for virtual office hours each week (Tuesday 4:00-6:00).

 * <span style="color: #353535; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Starfish Early Alert Tool: **<span style="color: #353535; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">As your professor, I am personally committed to supporting your academic success in this course.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The Conceptual Framework consists of the following focus areas:

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">1. Knowledge, 2. Planning and Preparation, 3. Instruction and Assessment, 4. Managing the Environment, 5. Technology, 6. Professionalism!

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> **Disposition Statement:** Students are responsible for demonstrating the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to become an effective K-12 educator prior to graduating from the teacher education program at DSU. Dispositions are often defined as the “personal qualities or characteristics that are possessed by individuals, including attitudes, beliefs, interests, appreciations, values, and modes of adjustment. Not surprisingly, there is a significant body of research indicating that teachers’ attitudes, values, and beliefs about students, about teaching, and about themselves, strongly influence the impact they will have on student learning and development” (Collinson, et. al., 1999 and Combs, 1974, Taylor & Wasicko, 2000). DSU education majors will be evaluated within the university and K-12 classroom on the demonstration of the following dispositions:

__<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Dispositions for Interacting with Students __<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">: Caring, Patient, Empathetic, Open-Minded, Compassionate, Accepting of Others, Flexible, Creative
