We have implemented many of the findings from our self study and evaluation of the methods seminar (EDUC 495) and the practicum (EDUC 496). Specifically, we have refined our criteria for grading and scoring the PPA and our handbooks for explaining this process to Supervising Practitioners so that there is more clarity around scoring and grading. |

| Goal #3 |
EDUC 390: Teaching Reading and Language Arts incorporated a digital teaching history component this past fall. These teaching histories were integrated into their final portfolio for the course and will migrate to their Professional portfolios. ED 375: Issues in Early Care and Education uses VoiceThreads to analyze and document young children's learning and ED 250: Schooling in America uses the innovative DIIGO technology to engage students in integrative, ongoing research. |
