  10. SPA and State Program Reviews Ready or not – here they come 2008-09

  11. Overview • Individual program reports are a new requirement in Indiana. • In advance of NCATE’s unit accreditation visit in spring 2011, each licensure program must submit either a state report (if the area is not addressed by a national organization’s standards) or a SPA report. 2008-09

  12. When? • State reports are due this spring in fields that do not have national organization standards. These are agriculture education, consumer and family science education, and art education. • SPA reports will be due on February 1, 2010, for the remaining licensure programs that are required to do them. 2008-09

  13. Who? • Programs that must make SPA reports include: elementary education (both undergraduate and TTT*), computer education, English, mathematics, reading, science, social studies, technology, and world languages. • These programs must respond to the standards of their respective professional organizations. * Separate reports are required unless all assessments are identical 2008-09

  14. What? • Each SPA report has certain required components: • Context • Assessments (6-8 required) • Standards Assessment Chart • Evidence for Meeting Standards • Use of Assessments for Program Improvement • Revised Reports (only for revisions) 2008-09

  15. Context • State and institutional overview* • Description of field and clinical experiences • Criteria for admission, retention, and exit from program • Relationship to unit’s conceptual framework • Relationship to unit assessment system and description of any unique assessments * COE will develop key elements of this section for all programs 2008-09

  16. Context, cont’d. • Three documents must be attached in relation to the context: • Required program of study with course titles • Chart of number of candidates and completers for past three years • Chart listing program faculty with their expertise and experience (not vitae, but will include key vitae information in condensed form) 2008-09

  17. Assessments • Each program must include at least 6 key assessments. Up to 2 more may be included or in some cases required. • Of the 6 assessments, 5 must address specific requirements. For some SPAs, the remaining 1 is a required “elective” while in other cases 1 or more additional assessments may be required to address specific SPA standards. 2008-09

  18. Standards Assessment Chart • The chart must indicate how assessments are mapped to SPA standards. • Each SPA standard must be linked to at least one assessment; in most cases, standards will be addressed by more than one assessment. • It is critical to document alignment between assessments, scoring guides, and SPA standards. 2008-09

  19. Five Required Assessments • State licensure exam for content when used (e.g., Praxis II) • Assessment of content knowledge (e.g., course grades/GPA, comprehensive exam) • Assessment of planning (e.g., lesson or unit plans) • Student teaching/internship assessment • Assessment of candidate impact on student learning 2008-09

  20. Assessment Components • For each assessment, you must include: • The assessment instrument or a description of the assessment • A scoring guide (e.g., grades or rubric); it is helpful if it is cross-referenced to standards • Aggregated data from the past three years (or an explanation of the lack of data), which addresses whether candidates met standards 2008-09

  21. Use for Program Improvement • Narrative organized according to content knowledge, pedagogical and professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions, and effect on student learning 2008-09

  22. Immediate Steps • For programs that must complete a SPA or state review, it is essential that you now: • Develop a process for ensuring that the SPA report can be completed • Identify the 6-8 assessments that will be reported • Map those assessments to the SPA standards • Begin assembling the data for the report 2008-09
