E(1)
The institution provides appropriate academic and professional advisement at
a candidate’s admission and throughout the candidate’s professional
education. |
S2 Assessment System
The unit, with the involvement of its professional community, is implementing an assessment system that reflects the conceptual framework(s) and incorporates candidate proficiencies outlined in professional and state standards. The unit continuously examines the validity and utility of the data produced through assessments and makes modifications to keep abreast of changes in assessment technology and in professional standards. Decisions about candidate performance are based on multiple assessments made at multiple points before program completion. Data show the strong relationship of performance assessments to candidate success. The unit conducts thorough studies to establish fairness, accuracy, and consistency of its performance assessment procedures. It also makes changes in its practice consistent with the results of these studies. S2 Use of Data for Program Improvement
The
unit has fully developed evaluations and continuously searches for stronger
relationships in the evaluations, revising both the underlying data systems
and analytic techniques as necessary. The unit not only makes changes when
evaluations indicate, but also systematically studies the effects of any
changes to assure that the intended program strengthening occurs and that
there are no adverse consequences.
Candidates and faculty review data on their performance regularly and
develop plans for improvement. |

S2 Data Collection, Analysis, and Evaluation The
unit is implementing its assessment system and providing regular and
comprehensive data on program quality, unit operations, and candidate
performance at each stage of a program, including the first years of
practice. Data from candidates,
graduates, faculty, and other members of the professional community are based
on multiple assessments from both internal and external sources. The unit maintains a record of formal
candidate complaints and documentation of their resolution. Data are regularly and systematically collected,
compiled, summarized, analyzed, and reported publicly for the purpose of
improving candidate performance, program quality, and unit operations. The unit is developing and testing
different information technologies to improve its assessment system. |

The institution uses authentic performance-based assessments and systematic
procedures and timelines to determine whether candidates have the knowledge
and skills needed to advance through the program. |
S2 Data Collection, Analysis, and Evaluation [See
E(3)] S4 Design Implementation and Evaluation of Curriculum and Experiences Curriculum, field experiences, and clinical practice help candidates to demonstrate knowledge, skills, and dispositions related to diversity. They are based on well-developed knowledge bases for, and conceptualizations of, diversity and inclusion so that candidates can apply them effectively in schools. Candidates learn to contextualize teaching and to draw upon representations from the students’ own experiences and knowledge. They learn how to challenge students toward cognitive complexity and engage all students, including students with exceptionalities, through instructional conversation. Candidates and faculty review assessment data that provide information about candidates’ ability to work with all students and develop a plan for improving their practice in this area. |
