Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year |
| Goal #1 |
The Education Department has agreed to look at artifacts at two time points' beginning of program and end of program.

As part of the assessment process, the faculty will evaluate the impact of instruction by using the results of the rubrics derived from the teacher professional standards. They will then explore student work and identify patterns for redesigning assignments and expectations as needed for coherence, rigor, and effectice delivery of evidenced-based practices during the practicum experience. |
