6 SECTION A CREDENTIAL PROGRAM SPECIFIC INFORMATION Part II Candidate Assessment/Performance and Program Effectiveness Information The Assessment System The assessment system, including its relationship to professional standards, transition points for data collection, and evaluation measures, is described in the Biennial Report for Academic Years What follows are data collected at entry and exit from student teaching Transition Points 2 and 3, fall 2013 and spring Also included are pilot data for the Autism Spectrum Disorders Added Authorization, its graduate survey and measures for two other Added Authorizations, Resource Specialist and Emotional Disturbance. The Addendum disaggregates data for ACT and ACT-R (a residency program). Portfolio data reported in previous Biennial Reports are replaced in this Addendum with Special Education Teaching Event scores. The Special Education Teaching Event is modeled after the Performance Assessment of California Teachers (PACT), required of all multiple and single subject credential candidates. The Special Education Teaching Event is an opportunity for teacher candidates to document knowledge and skills in four major areas: planning, instructing, assessing and reflecting. While customized for each specialization, all Special Education Teaching Events include commentaries, teacher and student products, and a video clip embedded within the following tasks: context for learning, planning for instruction, an instructional episode, assessment, the learning environment, and reflections. Pilot data from spring 2013 are reported for Mild/Moderate Disabilities in the Biennial Report. Data for Mild/Moderate Disabilities, Moderate/Severe Disabilities, Deaf and Hard of Hearing, and Early Childhood Special Education are reported in this addendum. Transition Point 2: Entry to Student Teaching As shown in Table 5 multiple assessments are used for Transition Point 2, entry to student teaching, including standardized examinations, course grades, and early field experience evaluations. All candidates, as assessed by the credential office, must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher to be eligible for student teaching. Assessment findings for performance on the early fieldwork evaluation by specialization and pathway appear in the tables below by CSTP domains. Table 5 Transition Point 2 Entry to Student Teaching - Assessment Measures Transition Point Knowledge Skills Dispositions (2) Entry- Student Teaching Verification of Subject Matter Completion of all identified courses with a grade of C or better Satisfactory Early Fieldwork Evaluation Writing Proficiency Minimum overall 3.0 GPA in professional courses Passage of the ASLPI (DHH) Verification of Basic Skills (CBEST) Satisfactory ratings on disposition items of Early Fieldwork Evaluation Mild/Moderate Disabilities. The university supervisor and cooperating teacher complete early fieldwork evaluations for candidates in the traditional, ACT, ACT-R and ITEP pathways. Data are aggregated for traditional and ITEP pathways. Early fieldwork only occurs in the fall semester in ACT and ACT-R. The university supervisor completes an evaluation for interns each semester of the two-year program, with the first two semesters considered early fieldwork and SPED CSUN Biennial Report Addendum August

The university supervisor and the on-site supervisor complete early fieldwork evaluations for Moderate/Severe Disabilities. Given the low number of candidates, assessment data are aggregated across all pathways. MS candidates in early fieldwork are evaluated on a sub-portion of the competencies student teachers are evaluated on. No candidates were enrolled in early fieldwork fall, Table 9 Moderate/Severe: Early Fieldwork Evaluation Domain University Supervisor On-site Supervisor Mean N Mean N Making Subject Matter Comprehensible Assessing Student Learning Engaging and Supporting Students in Learning Planning Instruction and Designing Learning Experiences Creating and Maintaining Effective Environments Developing as a Professional Educator Notes: 1=Inconsistent practice, 2=Developing practice, 3=Performs as expected, 4=Exceptional performance SPED CSUN Biennial Report Addendum August
9 Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Early fieldwork evaluations are completed during the spring semester for candidates in all DHH credential pathways. Only the university supervisor completes the evaluation. Students are not placed in a fieldwork assignment until they have successfully passed the American Sign Language Proficiency Interview (ASLPI) to ensure that they are able to adequately communicate with the students in the DHH classroom. Ratings, collected from the university supervisor and aggregated across pathways, appear below.

The Infant/Toddler student teaching is used as the early fieldwork experience because candidates have little experience with this age group (birth to 3 years). Early intervention (fieldwork) evaluations are completed for candidates in their Infant/Toddler fieldwork in all three pathways (ACT-R, traditional, intern) by the university supervisor and on-site supervisor. Interns complete a traditional student teaching in an early intervention program under the supervision of an on-site supervisor. SPED CSUN Biennial Report Addendum August

The university supervisor and the cooperating teacher complete student teaching evaluations for candidates in ACT/ACT-R, the traditional program and ITEP. Converting to a completely on-line submission process contributed to missing spring 2014 cooperating teacher data. The university supervisor completes an evaluation each semester for interns. ACT/ACT-R offer student teaching spring semester only. This spring the ACT-R university supervisor and cooperating teacher collaborated on the spring 2014 evaluations. For this reason only one score is reported. SPED CSUN Biennial Report Addendum August

Student teaching evaluations for traditional, ACT and ITEP candidates are completed by the university supervisor and the on-site supervisor. Only the university supervisor completes evaluations for interns. Overall, the scores fall between developing practice and performs as expected with the majority between 2 and a little over 3. These are expected scores in the area of MS disabilities, where very few ratings of 4 are given. Data re reported for traditional and ACT-R candidates fall 2013 and spring The Special Education Teaching Event in Moderate/Severe Disabilities is an opportunity for candidates to demonstrate competencies in understanding and organizing subject matter knowledge, (Task 1) planning and designing instruction (Tasks 2 and 3), engaging students in learning (Task 4), assessing student learning (Task 5) and reflecting upon their practices (Task 6). Teaching Events are rated using a 4-point scale: Level 1 (Does Not Meet Expectations) Level 2 (Approximates Expectations) Level 3 (Meets Expectations) and Level 4 (Exceeds Expectations). Data are reported by CSTP Domain for traditional and and ACT-R candidates. SPED CSUN Biennial Report Addendum August

19 Added Authorizations. The Department of Special Education at CSUN offers three added authorization: Autism Spectrum Disorders, Emotional Disturbance, and Resource Specialist. Pilot data from a group of students completing the Autism Spectrum Disorder Added Authorization (ASDAA) are in the following table. Candidates rates their knowledge of evidence-based practices on a four-point scale: Not Knowledgeable (1); Somewhat Knowledgeable (2); Adequately Knowledge (3); and Very Knowledgeable (4). Candidates also rate the extent to which they are prepared to apply evidence based practices on a four point scale: Not Prepared (1); Somewhat Prepared (2); Adequately Prepared (3); and Very Prepared (4). Surveys developed for candidates completing the Added Authorizations, appearing in Appendix A. Table 26 Autism Spectrum Disorders Added Authorization Summer 2014 To what extent are you knowledgeable about evidence-based practices in teaching students with autism spectrum disorders: Evidence-based practices Mean Number Antecedent-based interventions Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) Visual supports Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) 3 6 Social skills instruction Transition support Discrete trial training (DTT) Peer-mediated instruction 3 6 Social Narratives Computer aided instruction 3 6 Pivotal Response Training Structured Teaching (TEACCH) To what extent are you prepared to: Application of evidence based practices Identify the characteristics of learners with ASD Deliver social skills lesson to students with ASD Develop a transition plan for students with ASD Implement a variety of evidence-based instructional practices for a learners with ASD Collaborate with other service providers and families SPED CSUN Biennial Report Addendum August
20 SECTION A CREDENTIAL PROGRAM SPECIFIC INFORMATION Part III: Analyses and Discussion of Candidate and Program Data Part IV: Use of Assessment Results to Improve Candidate and Program Performance Candidate and program assessment continue to be an integral part of faculty work, facilitating the analysis of program effectiveness and informing program practices. As discussed more thoroughly in the Biennial Report assessment activities are systematically embedded in department activities and are routinely examined at the specialization and department levels. Assessment results are shared with part-time faculty and at Community Advisory Committee meetings. The following findings are noted for the academic year. Candidate Competence Recruitment of highly qualified candidates: Admission data indicate that a majority of candidates have strong undergraduate GPAs (over 3.0) and meet subject matter and basic skills requirements unless accepted under exceptional admission, allowed for 15% of applicants. Admission numbers and the percentage of candidates from diverse backgrounds have remained consistent since with an increase since the last reporting period--40% ( ), 46% ( ), 47% ( ). Grant supported recruitment efforts discussed in the report continued throughout the academic year. In addition a special education undergraduate course, SPED 200SL Introduction to Disability Studies was approved at the Department, College and University level to satisfy GE requirements. It is anticipated that this course will serve to recruit teacher candidates into the profession. Candidate performance: Data on the performance of candidates is strong at Transition Point 2 (entry to student teaching). Overall university supervisors ratings represent developing to maturing practice, very appropriate for candidates in early fieldwork. Ratings for Transition Point 3 are higher than Transition Point 2 primarily indicating maturing practice for traditional, ITEP, and ACT-ACT- R candidates, and third and fourth semester interns. Although ratings from cooperating/on-site supervisors remain consistently higher than ratings from the university supervisor, there is reasonable consistency between the two. The Department continues its major effort to to strengthen work with cooperating teachers, including a more standardized selection process and on-going professional development. As noted previously data from our portfolio assessments had limited variability and lacked authenticity. To address this concern faculty developed a Special Education Teaching Event, adopted from the Performance Assessment for California Teachers (PACT). As reported the Special Education Teaching Event in Mild/Moderate Disabilities was piloted in the traditional and ACT programs in spring 2013, with the process including multiple meetings for the purpose of calibrating raters. This year data were collected from the Special Education Teaching Event in Mild/Moderate Disabilities, Moderate/Severe Disabilities, Deaf and Hard of Hearing, and Early Childhood Special Education. The range of scores reported suggests that the Special Education Teaching Event has the potential to discriminate performance among candidates and to inform program practices across all specializations. As noted previously the integrity of the student teaching evaluation instrument was questionable, in Mild/Moderate Disabilities, where traditionally there are multiple part-time supervisors. In SPED CSUN Biennial Report Addendum August
21 particular ratings tended to exceed those in the other specializations. As shown in this report, using the revised evaluation measure and rubric, ratings are more consistent with the other specializations and align with the Special Education Teaching Event in Mild/Moderate Disabilities. Program Effectiveness Efforts to document program efficacy focus on evaluation of Added Authorizations. Surveys for each Added Authorization were developed and piloted with candidates completing the Autism Spectrum Disorder program. Data, from this limited sample suggest, that completers felt adequately to very knowledgeable in all areas, except transition support (2.8) and least prepared to develop a transition plan (3.0). This provides a clear focus for program development. Procedures to promote full participation in surveys will be initiated with surveys administered to all completers in the Emotional Disturbance, Resource Specialist and Autism Spectrum Disorder Added Authorization programs. When available CSU exit and follow-up surveys will be examined. These provide valuable information on candidates and employers perceptions of the preparation program.
