Data Collection, Analysis and Evaluation • Systematic data collection, analysis and evaluation for: • Program Improvement • Monitoring individual student progress
Example: • Standards based portfolio data could demonstrate how teacher candidate performance is assessed against standards. • Aggregated data from common portfolio rubrics could show program and unit strengths and weaknesses
Triangulation • Multiple assessments from internal and external sources- particularly at transition points
Example: • Final internship evaluations can be conducted and comparisons drawn between evaluations by: • The teacher candidate • The mentor teacher • The supervising faculty member • Employers at the end of the first year of teaching
Key Questions: • Do we have multiple sources of data for each measure (knowledge, skills, dispositions)? • Do we have an archiving system (Livetext, TK20) that supports data collection and analysis? • Do we have a culture that routinely supports data analysis for program improvement? • Do we disaggregate data to examine alternate route, off campus and distance learning programs? • Do we archive student complaints and resolutions?
Example #1: • Overview of an assessment system
Example #2: • Systematic routines for collection, analysis and use of data
Example #3: • The unit maintains its assessment system through the use of appropriate information technologies
