As LOTE Coordinator, I hire, orient and support the EDSS 300F instructor (revise course, assist fieldwork placement, plan and coordinate Bilingual Interviews, and develop and plan strategies to implement new Teaching Performance Assessments).

I provide the same support for the EDSS 450F and EDSS 473F instructors as for the EDSS 300F instructor.

As LOTE Coordinator, I also hire, orient and support up to seven field-work supervisors per semester who receive .75 units for each student teacher supervised for EDSS 472F A,B,C [University Supervisors]. It is my responsibility to place each semester the student-teachers with the appropriate school districts, and I sometimes make special visits of student-teachers supervised by other field supervisor/s as requested/needed and other such courtesy visits to potential sites whenever convenient.

In addition, in November 2006 I organized the first LOTE Advisory Board meeting, chairing the Advisory Board members drawn from LOTE coordinators and local school districts, representing these language programs: Chinese; French; German; Italian; Japanese; Latin; Spanish.

Finally, while the LOTE Program documents are being prepared for approval with new state standards for credential accreditation with the California Commission for Teacher Credentialing (CCTC), I drafted the writing of the common standards in the seven language groups and coordinate the submissions and resubmissions of LOTE Program documents for the CCTC with each LOTE language coordinator (Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin and Spanish).

As LOTE Committee Chair, I help plan, write, and finalize these accreditation documents for French, German, Italian, Latin, Mandarin, Japanese, and Spanish (Index, Tab 5, Dee Abrahamse, p. 112). Members are LOTE coordinators from three departments, each representing a target language in our credential program: Tim Xie, Steve Fleck, Jeff High, Teresa Fiore, Hiroko Kataoka, Kathryn Chew, and Claire Martin, along with the co-chair of the RGRLL Department (Clorinda Donato). I chair meetings (about 2 per semester) and prepare and distribute meeting minutes. Via the meetings, e-mail and campus mail, I keep members informed of Single Subject Program developments and initiate/lead/review the creation of new program policies.
