| Goal #1 |
Lasell will review, evaluate the effectiveness of the pre-gateway tasks and its connection to the full practicum CAP assessment to ensure that this tasks prepares students appropriately for the full practicum semester. Some of the analysis may identify candidates who can successfully move forward and also identify candidates who need additional time, experience, or counseling out of the program. The pre-gateway tasks will also be used as part of our Lasell University program evaluation process to identify areas in the our teacher preparation program that need to be address further or that need coherence. For example, we will be looking at whether the lesson plan and CAP observation form candidates complete address the new DESE cultural and linguistically responsive practices. |
