concerned with diverse issues in the classroom. Klatsky moved approval;

designed to accompany student teaching. Students will participate in this
course only while student teaching. Discussions about the student
teachers experience will be the primary topics. SED requires a seminar
course such as this to occur during the student teaching semester.
Klatsky moved approval; Smith seconded. The course was approved.
