 Collection
Identifier: UA-006

Scope and Content

This collection documents the activities of the School of Education and Allied Professions, its individual departments, and various partnered organizations and centers. The majority of the files are from 1970 to 2000, and they include office files, correspondence, accreditation reports, and publications.

Series I, Administration, contains records pertaining to the administrative function of the School of Education and Allied Professions. It contains scrapbooks, histories, pamphlets and catalogues, specific School of Education and Allied Professions committees, dean’s office files, and miscellaneous materials. The two scrapbooks are mostly newspaper clippings and photographs documenting education in the news, the School of Education and Allied Professions, and the University of Dayton. The University of Dayton self-survey is a heavily documented topic, as well as, the Student Education Association and the Future Teachers of America. The specific School of Education and Allied Professions committees include, Graduate Committee, School of Education Staff Meetings, Student Education Council, Curriculum Committee, Academic Committee, Academic Affairs Committee, ECHO Committee, Administrative Coordinating Committee, and Promotion and Tenure Committee. Many of the committee records are restricted. The dean’s office files include meetings, annual reports, and materials by Dean Faerber and Joseph. Miscellaneous material includes correspondence, grant proposals, and various other materials related to the School of Education and Allied Professions.

Series II, Accreditation and Self Surveys, the largest part of this collection, contains restricted reports, surveys, and programs associated with accreditation. Material includes visitation reports, institutional reports, evaluations and responses, and individual program reports. Most material is addressed to Ohio Department of Education (ODE) and/or National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).

Series III, Individual departments, contains records from the departments of Physical and Health Education, Teacher Education, Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Foundations of Education, Counselor Education, Educational Administration, Education Leadership, and Health and Sport Science within the School of Education and Allied Professions. This is not an exhaustive list, as there are not records from all departments. Records for most of the departments include meeting minutes and documents and program descriptions from around 1975. One now-defunct department, Educational Administration, is documented in more detail, because their office files are included.

Series IV, Centers and Events, contains records of organizations and centers within or related to the School of Education and Allied Professions. It contains pamphlets and other basic informational materials from the Center for Catholic Education, Bombeck Family Learning Center, Center for Computer Education, Upward Bound Program, Curriculum Materials Center, Marianist Center for Human Development, and various other centers and programs. Also included are programs and fliers from various events related the School of Education and Allied Professions.

Series V, Publications, contains three subseries: General Publications, Catholic Education: A Journal of Inquiry and Practice, and Student Theses. Subseries I, General Publications, contains newsletters, magazines, abstracts of research projects, and booklets produced by the School of Education and Allied Professions.
