Sample Professional Specialty Courses
Program Admissions
CAP 5, admission to the program, requires the student to complete an application for admission to Campbellsville University graduate studies and meet entrance requirements for the Rank I/MASI which are a 2.75 cumulative grade point average; a valid teaching certificate which documents Rank II; a dispositional self-assessment; professional growth plan; and a signed code of ethics. Supporting documentation must be included with the application. Graduate faculty review the applications and make recommendations for approval to the University Graduate Council. After approval from that body, the candidate is cleared for admission to the program. The candidate meets with an advisor to complete the Curriculum Guidesheet. CAP Document
Consistent with other graduate level programs, the Rank I/MASI program has three candidate assessment points. As illustrated below, program requirements are identified at each assessment point and candidates complete data collection forms. CAP 5 is admission to the program and candidates must be approved by the School of Education graduate faculty and by the University Graduate Council. After successful completion of CAP 5, the candidate meets with an advisor and reviews the curriculum guidesheet. CAP 6 is a mid-point check of candidate progress and is implemented after the candidate completes 15 hours. CAP 7 is the exit assessment and is implemented in the lastcourse in the program, ED 705 - Effective Professional Development . A major component of CAP 7 is a culminating project that is submitted in this course. The project is a paper reflecting on the field-based assignments for the professional education core courses and discussing how those assignments support the Kentucky Teacher Standards and indicators. The paper will be evaluated by Rank I/MASI program faculty. The expectations for the culminating project will be communicated to candidates in the introduction course to the program, ED 701 - Planning and Leading School Improvement .
Candidates receive letters from the Dean’s office notifying them of their status at each of the three CAPs. At CAP 7, the University certification officer is also notified so that appropriate forms are submitted to the Education Professional Standards Board recommending rank change.
