A statement demonstrating how the essential elements of residency (as defined in "Residency and Related Policies for Off Campus Graduate Programs") will be achieved. Three years after program inception a report must be made to the Graduate Council's Committee on Programs and Courses which provides evidence concerning how the essential elements of residency have actually been incorporated into the program and that high quality graduate education has been delivered in the off-campus program. During this 3-year period, the Graduate School is charged with monitoring program delivery and quality. (See Off-Campus Program Reporting Process) The residency requirement for this program meets the Graduate Council Specific Requirements for D.Ed. programs which states: “The D.Ed. candidate may meet the requirements by attending summer sessions unless the major department requires a period of registration during the regular academic year.” Students will be taking concentrated work focused on utilizing all the human research and academic resources of the University Park campus during three summer sessions. Students will also be continuously registered for courses during 4 years of academic work that includes periodic involvement on the University Park campus in addition to continuous direct interactions with faculty, fellow students, and all the Penn State University resources via technology and meetings at PSU Branch Campuses.
