LINC Principal Preparation ProgramContinuous Improvement Process Symposium May 27, 2014 Parke Hotel, Bloomington, Illinois
Developing Program Cohesion Among Program Faculty Dr. Alison Reeves alireev@siue.edu Assistant Professor and Program Director Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
Increased Collaboration • Working group • Comprised of all the faculty who teach in the principal preparation program • Revised original curriculum maps for non-internship courses • Monitors short term goals • Review of course syllabi, assignments, and assessments
The Process • PLC Model • School Reform Initiative and National School Reform Faculty • Protocols
An Example of Protocol in Use • Tuning Protocol http://schoolreforminitiative.org/doc/tuning.pdf • EDAD 535a Curriculum Leadership: Theory and Research • RtI Self-Assessment Assignment (SAPSI-Building Version) • http://education.illinoisstate.edu/casei/resource_library/rti.shtml
Feedback • Students need to be more critical • Students’ use of evidence would make assignment more robust • Goal or objective seems muddy. Program evaluation or knowledge of RtI?
Action Steps for Continuous Improvement • Consider moving project to the internship • Limit the scope, limit what they evaluate, limit what they analyze and comment on • Consider how much program evaluation will be taught in this class vs. a different class (EDAD 530a, Data-driven Decision Making and Accountability: Theory and Research)
