1 Unit Assessment Report - Four Column Eastern Kentucky University EDU CURI UG Elementary Education (P-5) Objectives Means of Assessment & Criteria / Tasks Results/Observations Use of Result & Follow-Up EDU CURI UG Elementary Education (P-5) - 1. a. State Licensure - Teacher candidates know the content that they plan to teach and can explain important principles and concepts delineated in professional, state, and institutional standards. Objective Types (Control-click to select multiple): Plan Initial Student Learning Objectives Objective Status: Active Evaluation of content area Praxis subscores. KY requires the PRAXIS Elementary Content Knowledge Test for all candidates seeking initial certification for Ekekmentary (P-5). The pass rate is also used to assess teacher preparation programs. The minimum passing score is 163. At least 80% pass rate is required. Who will use the data (How and When)?: Elementary Education faculty and Teacher Education Administrative staff review PRAXIS scores annually to ensure that the program requirements are effectively preparing candidates. Title II Report 03/23/ Students' PRAXIS scores are reported annually by the KY EPSB. The latest report summarizes the PRAXIS Elementary Content Knowledge Test scores from the academic year, September Aug 31, These scores are reflected in the following data: Type of Assessment Number taking assessment Number passing assessment Institutional Pass Rate Elementary Education Content Knowledge % Pass rates are established by the KY EPSB. The institutional pass rate must be 80% or higher. EKU meets this requirement. Candidates who do not pass may retake the test. If a candidate retakes the test during the same testing cycle, that score will be included in the annual pass rate as well as the original score. This indicates that six test scores were below the pass score. Overall, Eastern Kentucky University's students are clearly successful on this national measure of teacher readiness. EKU requires that candidates take the PRAXIS exams prior to graduation, but candidates are NOT required to pass PRAXIS to graduate. The passing score is required for teacher certification. 09/30/ Annually, faculty review PRAXIS test scores and pass rates to determine neede alignments to programs and course syllabi. In 2009, Curriculum and Assessment facultyreviewed the elementary content test results by content area and by emphasis area. Based on these disaggregated scores, the Elementary Education program was revised. This new program ensures that all majors hae a common multidisciplinary program that is carefully aligned to the elementary P-5 curriculum. In addition, the requirements for math content were raised to include MAT 107, college algebra as well as MAT 201, 202, and a new course, MAE 301. This new program went into effect for newly enrolled candidates fall /9/10 3:10 PM Generated by TracDat a product of Nuventive. Page 1 of 27
2 Title II Aggregate NCATEKA1PRAXIS_ele_emg.docx EDU CURI UG Elementary Education (P-5) - 2. a. Content Assessments - Content Knowledge - Teacher candidates know the content that they plan to teach and can explain important principles and concepts delineated in professional, state, and institutional standards. Objective Types (Control-click to select multiple): Plan Initial Student Learning Objectives Objective Status: Active Average GPA by program emphasis. Program Area GPA Average GPA of 3.0 with no individuals below /30/ Students' GPAs at each of the three Gates (for the academic year) are indicated below: Program GATE 1 Average GPA GATE 2 Average GPA GATE 3 Average GPA Elementary Grades The data indicate that students as a group are meeting the 2.75 GPA requirement and are exceeding it as they move through the program. The programs? successes indicate that students are developing content knowledge. The Teacher Education Program and the University will continue to support this component of teacher preparation through alignment (and realignment) of program requirements and course syllabi to the Kentucky core Academic standards. 09/30/ Faculty and Teacher Education Serives administrative staff review GPA data for all programs annually. Sine the GPA requirement was raise in 2007, we still have some candidates who do not have to meet that requirement. Faculty observe that candidates with GPA's below 2.75 are less likely to pass the PRAXIS exams. Faculty will continue to monitor GPAs of canidates and the relatioships among these and other measures of candidate success. 0 edit add Follow-Up The GPA requirement is set and approved by the College of Education, Teacher Education Program and Eastern Kentucky University. Upon admission to the Teacher Education Program and throughout the remainder of their course work, students must maintain a If a candidate fails to meet this standard, s/he must either repeat coursework or take additional coursework to raise the GPA or be removed from the program. For GPA averages, data were collected and averaged from elementary grades and middle grades candidates at Gates 1, 2, and 3 during the 10/9/10 3:10 PM Generated by TracDat a product of Nuventive.

3 Content knowledge exemplars evaluated during presentation portfolio review at Transition Point 2 - Admission to Student Teaching. Portfolio Review Average score of 2.5 on range of 0-4. No individual lower than 2.0 Content knowledge exemplars evaluated during presentation portfolio review at Transition Point 3 - Exit from Student Teaching The minimum GPA requirement was approved for candidates who selected Teacher Education as their major fall 2007 or later. The data include candidates who began their programs prior to this requirement and were only required to earn a 2.5 overall GPA. NCATEKA2aGPA_ele_emg.docx 07/23/ The data show that most of our students have good content knowledge in math, science, social studies, and language arts. Out of 58 students in the Richmond and Corbin elementary methods courses, 57 students received a score of 4 (exemplary); one student received a score of 3 (satisfactory). All 58 students scored satisfactory or above in the area of content knowledge. Student content knowledge is assessed on each subject matter's KTIP lesson plan. Students submit this plan to each subject's methods instructor following implementation and assessment of the plan in the field placement. Content knowledge is evaluated based on the understanding of the content as demonstrated by the lesson plan. NCATEKA3_summaryreport_Conten tknowledge 07/23/ The elementary methods instructors do not believe that our assessment of content knowledge is adequate. While our students show evidence of having content knowledge in all the subjects, the instructors do not feel that looking at one lesson plan in each subject is a good measure of content knowledge. We believe that the Praxis test results are a better measure of content knowledge. Therefore, we will no longer measure content knowledge on the KTIP lesson plan. We will begin tracking Praxis test results. 10/9/10 3:10 PM Generated by TracDat a product of Nuventive. Page 3 of 27

Summary of Findings Results will be more valid beginning in January EKU faculty members have successfully become comfortable assessing candidates through TaskStream. In fall of 2010, the members of the Technology PLC will look at editing the evaluation process for technology. Improvement can be made by: (1) Developing two technology common assessments for elementary and two common assessments for middle school to be represented in the two areas of Standard Six, Technology. (2) Developing more specific criteria. (3) Evaluating all candidates across all majors consistently, even with a large number of evaluators. (4) Middle school professors have developed an assessment of technology during Gate 2. Other professors may be encouraged to develop similar measures so that data show growth from Gate 2 to Gate 3. 05/15/ Candidates? projects were scored according to the following criteria: 1. A homepage, a letter of presentation or video introduction, and the portfolio-at-a-glance are present and professional. 2.

A philosophy of teaching is presented along with a written reflection and the Inclusion of appropriate standards 5. The Mentoring Project is presented along with a written reflection and the Inclusion of appropriate standards On Criterion 1: 92% of the candidates scored either a 3 or 4. Only 1% scored a one. The overall average was 3.67 for the group. This criterion assessed whether the candidates had created a homepage and included a professional letter of presentation or a video introduction as well as their Portfolio-At-A-Glance spreadsheet that serves as tracking device that demonstrates balanced learning across all standards. On Criterion 2: 98% of the candidates scored either a 3 or 4. 1% scored a one. The overall average was 3.77 for the group which is the strongest criterion measured. This criterion assessed whether the candidates had created a resume that is presented along with a written reflection and the inclusion of appropriate standards. On Criterion 3: 98% of the candidates scored either a 3 or 4. 1% scored a one. The overall average was 3.76 for the group. This criterion assessed whether the candidates had written a diversity essay that is presented along with a written reflection and the inclusion of appropriate standards. On Criterion 4: 97% of the candidates scored either a 3 or 4. 0% scored a one. The overall average was 3.77 for the group. This criterion assessed whether the candidates had written a philosophy of teaching that is presented along with a written reflection and the Inclusion of 08/11/ Since the faculty elected to improve our program by switching to a key assessment in EDF 203, the information produced in the current report from May 2010 will serve as baseline data for ongoing program evaluations which will occur annually, and more frequently if needed. 10/9/10 3:10 PM Generated by TracDat a product of Nuventive.

7 appropriate standards. On Criterion 5: 96% of the candidates scored either a 3 or 4. 1% scored a one. The overall average was 3.63 which is the weakest criterion for the group. This criterion assessed whether the candidates had completed a 15-hour Mentoring Project that is presented along with a written reflection and the inclusion of appropriate standards. Result Closed-No further action needed Prior to spring 2010, EDF 203 instructors had identified a 15-hour field experience called the Mentoring Project as its Common Assessment. There was no EDF 203 project used as a Key Assessment. In May 2010, faculty changed to a new Key Assessment - the TaskStream eportfolio, which includes data from the Mentoring Project along with several other activities. Formerly, portfolios were scored outside of TaskStream using a 48 point rubric. During the academic year, the portfolio rubric was improved and reduced to 20 points. Instructors began to evaluate candidates? initial portfolios in TaskStream to allow for timely evaluation and better data collection. During the year, 172 candidates submitted their initial portfolios to TaskStream for evaluation under the new 20 point rubric. This represents candidate data from a combination of the fall and spring semesters which will form a baseline for future data collection. 10/9/10 3:10 PM Generated by TracDat a product of Nuventive.

These include: foundations of education; ways children and adolescents develop and the relationships to learning; professional ethics, laws, and policies; use of research in teaching; roles and responsibilities of the professional communities; diversity of student populations, families, and communities; and consideration of school, family, and community contexts and the prior Objective Types (Control-click to select multiple): Appreciation of Diversity. Candidates complete a "Diverse School Contextual Analysis" task in ELE 490. The contextual analysis is based upon candidates' field experiences in a school with a diverse student population. Candidates collect, summarize and analyze school assessment data and observe P-12 student behaviors. Each candidate completes a written summary analysis and reflection that is evaluated on a common scoring guide across all programs. The section of the scoring rubric focusing on acceptance and appreciation of diversity will be used to analyze appreciation of diversity. Diversity 05/21/ The teacher education program has established a standard that candidates will score an average of 3.0 on this section of the rubric. The results indicate that 94% of the candidates assessed met this standard by scoring above 3.0 overall on the rubric and with the average score of 3.7. The range of scores for this assessment was This indicates that overall students in the program are aware of issues related to diversity and are able to analyze performance data and determine implications and recommendations for improving performance for diverse students. 05/21/ This academic year was the first time this assessment has been completed and it was also the first year utilizing task stream. Even so, the results are encouraging. Faculty feel that the assignment meets the goals of providing field experience in a diverse setting as well as engaging the candidates in critical thinking. However, it is noted that the rubric is not providing the information needed, therefore it is recommended that the rubric be revised.

Teacher candidates assess and analyze student learning, make appropriate adjustments to instruction, and monitor student progress. Areas of focus include ability to assess and analyze student learning; make appropriate adjustments to instruction; monitor student learning; develop and implement meaningful learning experiences; help students learn; and create positive environments for student learning. Objective Types (Control-click to select multiple): Plan Initial Student Learning Objectives Objective Status: Active Assessment project completed in EDF 413 designed to evaluate teacher candidates' ability to design and evaluate appropriate formative and summative assessments. This assessment project prepares candidates to assess and evaluate 5-9 student learning outcomes. Program Area Class Project Average score of 2.5 on the EDF 413 final project. Who will use the data (How and When)?: Undergraduate elementary, middle grades, and selected secondary and P-12 programs. 08/17/ A total of 215 unique candidates took EDF 413 during the academic year. FALL SEMESTER: During the Fall Semester, 104 candidates were enrolled in five sections. However, only 85 submitted their final projects to Taskstream for evaluation. Sixteen of those were in one section, and because the rubric was not installed into Taskstream until November, the instructor evaluated their projects using a hard copy and did not require a submission. Three others were in the sections that were evaluated on Taskstream, but they did not submit a final project to the professor at all, and they received an F in the course. They have not retaken the course to date. Two candidates received Fs in the course (even though they turned in the final project) and they retook the course in the Spring and were successful. Each of the two replaced her Fall submission with a new project during the Spring Semester. Thus, in this report, 83 candidate submissions were analyzed for the Fall Semester. SPRING SEMESTER: In the Spring Semester, 125 candidates took EDF 413 in six sections (including the two repeats). Four of those candidates did not submit a project to Taskstream. Two who did not do the project all received Fs in the course. The other two received an incomplete in the course. Thus, in this report, 121 candidate submissions were analyzed for the Fall Semester. TOTAL: There were a total of 83 candidates who were evaluated in Taskstream in the Fall Semester and 121 candidates who were evaluated in Taskstream in the Spring Semester. This report reflects the data on those 204 candidates. 10/9/10 3:10 PM Generated by TracDat a product of Nuventive. Page 16 of 27
17 Of those 204 candidates, 111 were elementary candidates, 25 were middle grades candidates, and 68 were secondary candidates. The secondary candidates represented the fields of business and marketing, health, art, biology, chemistry, earth science, English, family and consumer science, foreign language, history, math, and music. All of the sub-groups (elementary, middle grades, and the various secondary programs) scored within the competent range (of 2.5). The highest group were the math and earth science students, with the music students a close second. Math and science candidates often score the highest on various measures in the Teacher Education Program (even on components not relative to their major). Twelve of the 15 music candidates took the course in the Fall Semester, and they formed study groups among themselves. They would often contact the professor during a study session to ask questions. The professor observed that this close-knit group's collaboration, and peer assessment of one another's projects, contributed to their high ranking. Although all of the projects were about different units, they were all created at a high level. The lowest score (2.50) was achieved by the one health candidate. His 2.50 on the final project correlates with the 81% he received in the course. There were eight criteria on which they were evaluated. Criterion 1 had 83% of the candidates scoring either a 3 or 4. However, there were 2% who scored a one. Still, the overall average was 3.30 for the group. This criterion assessed whether the candidates could write objectives appropriately.

18 Criterion 2 had 91% of the candidates scoring either a 3 or 4. No one scored a 1. The overall average was 3.47 for the group. This criterion assessed the candidates? abilities to write using the conventions of standard grammar and spelling. The elementary candidates scored a 3.35 on Criterion 2. Criterion 3 had 93% of the candidates scoring either a 3 or 4, and again, no one scored a 1. The overall average was 3.63 for the group. This criterion determined if the candidates? projects showed consistency and continuity leading to face validity. The elementary candidates scored a 3.52 on Criterion 3. Criterion 4 had only 58% of the candidates scoring either a 3 or 4. The remaining 42% scored a 2 (progressing). Criterion 4 was the one on which the candidates as a group scored the lowest with an overall average of This was partly because of a flaw in the rubric. Both the acceptable (3) and target (4) ranges required that all five objectives be written appropriately. Whereas, on Criterion 1, a student could have one of the objectives not appropriately written and still receive an acceptable, candidates had to have all five written appropriately to score a 3 or 4 for this criterion. The rubric is being reconsidered for the academic year. This criterion assessed the candidates? abilities to write both objectives and quality assessments. The elementary candidates scored a 2.88 on Criterion 4. Criterion 5 had 88% of the candidates scoring a 4, while 6% scored a 3 and the remaining 6% scored a 2. The overall average was 3.87 for the group. This was the criterion that received the highest ranking of the eight criteria. It assessed if the candidates could name and describe a unit and 10/9/10 3:10 PM Generated by TracDat a product of Nuventive. Page 18 of 27
19 create objectives that matched the unit. Again, the rubric appears to be flawed and is being reconsidered for future evaluations. The elementary candidates scored a 3.84 on Criterion 5. Criterion 6 had 84% of the candidates scoring either a 3 or 4 (with most of them scoring a three). Again, no one scored a 1. The overall average was 3.22 for the group. This criterion addressed the big picture aspect of the project. Candidates had to have all the objectives written appropriately, all the classifications correct, and all the assessments written as quality items in order to receive a 4. The elementary candidates scored a 3.12 on Criterion 6. Criterion 7 had 76% of the candidates scoring either a 3 or 4, with the majority again scoring a 3. One percent of the candidates scored a 1. This brought the overall average to 3.08 for the group. This criterion addressed the candidates? abilities to classify their objectives according to the Kentucky Combined Curriculum Document, according to Bloom?s Taxonomy in the Cognitive Domain, and according to the Depth of Knowledge level. If even one of those was incorrect or missing for a single objective, the candidate could not receive a 4. The elementary candidates scored a 2.93 on Criterion 7. Criterion 8 had 88% of the candidates scoring either a 3 or 4, with the majority again scoring at a 3. The overall average was 3.25 for the group. This criterion assessed the candidates? ability to create a professional document. Like Criterion 6, a student had to have virtually no errors throughout the project in order to receive a 4. The elementary candidates scored a 3.18 on Criterion 8. 10/9/10 3:10 PM Generated by TracDat a product of Nuventive. Page 19 of 27
20 Task C analysis of teaching episode. Task C of the KTIP lesson plan format evaluates teacher candidates' ability to analyze student assessment data. Completed during methods block. Field Experience (student teaching and practicum) 100% of teacher candidates complete Task C satisfactorily. A satisfactory evaluation means that all questions in Task C are answered thoroughly, indicating that candiates can evaluate their P-5 students' performance and recommend appropriate instruction. Mid/Final Student teaching evaluations - Student Teachers Field Experience (student teaching and practicum) See attachment for graphs of criteria. Result Closed-No further action needed The results indicated that the candidates had the ability to create a description of a unit, objectives for the unit, and assessments to determine if the objectives had been fulfilled. Because of the changing emphasis in Kentucky toward more formative assessment, and because of a couple of flaws found in the rubric, the project and the rubric are undergoing changes that will be implemented during the fall 2010 semester. 10/9/10 3:10 PM Generated by TracDat a product of Nuventive.

21 Student teachers will receive an average score of 3.0 (competent) on their final evaluations from their cooperating teachers and at least 85% of the standards marked as "competent" from their University supervisor on their observation forms. Student teachers will develop a unit plan/teacher work sample to demonstrate their ability to assess and analyze P-12 student learning. The Unit Work Sample scoring rubric has sections that address assessment design (pre/post), measured student learning outcomes, and reflection on student learning. Unit of Study 90% of candidates will receive an average score of 3.0 or higher for these sections of the UWS scoring rubric from their University supervisors.
