Basic Assessment Cycle within our EPP

Plan and Prepare

• Develop objectives, learning outcomes, alignment to standards (State, national, In TASC and CAEP)
• Create course materials that articulate to students both the outcomes and the disciplinary context in which these outcomes operate.

• Finalizing the decision points for all programs from entrance to exit of the candidates.
• Identify SPA/KEY assessments which needs to tracked and monitored for candidate progress within the programs.
• Tracking system – Task Stream
• Making sure all SPA/State data are tracked and monitored and reviewed for continuous improvement.
• Do we have All CAEP data? How many cycles?

Assess – Multiple Measures

Collect, Analyze, Share

Collect and analyze direct evidence of candidate progress from Entrance to exit and monitor their progress through task stream.

• Program level assessments
• Unit wide assessments
• SPA/state reports
• Dispositions
• Collect and analyze indirect evidence, such as job placement rates, surveys, title II reports, grades, enrollment, retention, completion, and case studies for program impact.
• Share assessment processes and results with stake holders.

Improve / Reflect

• Use what we have learned from assessment processes and efforts to revise programmatic changes/revisions and unit wide improvements.
• Program Review days each semester for EPP, with stakeholders on some days.
• Share data with COPEP, School Administrators, P-12 educators, Alumni, Advisory boards and conduct focus group as necessary with completers and principals.
• Consider the effect of revision/improvements in student learning that resulted from your assessment process.
• Reflect on the assessment cycle to prepare for further assessment.
