EPP’S KEY ASSESSMENTS FOR ADVANCED PROGRAMS
The Advanced Program key indicators are organized into the following eight measure categories: Technology, Diversity, Research, College and Career Ready, Data Literacy, Disposition, Partnership Collaboration, and Clinical Experience. We present the results from the Spring 2017, Fall 2017, Spring, 2018, and Fall 2018. Since measures all use a three-point scoring scale, we are able to calculate measures by the key indicators across programs, and campus locations. The means, counts/percentages, and frequencies are calculated for each key indicator. The frequency distribution appears as ‘Not Met’, ‘Met’, or ‘Exceeds/Advanced.’ The following key is used:
KA – Key assessment R – The scoring row of the key assessment MSE ELEM in Elementary Education MSE K-12 SPED – MSE in K-12 Special Education MSE Gifted – MSE in Gifted Education MSE IL – MSE in Instructional Leadership EdS IL – EdS in Instructional Leadership
