| ASSESSMENT PLAN revised 2000-01
From
Summer 2000 through Spring 2001, 51 Masters-Level students took and passed the written
comprehensive examination. Five of 33 were asked to rewrite portions of the exam for
the Summer 2000 group. However, it was the judgement of the EDAD faculty that
performance on these examinations continued to be substantially beyond the acceptable
level. During this same period of time, 11 students successfully passed the oral
comprehensive examination for the Specialist Degree.
revised 1998-99
The following adjustments were made in the Comprehensive Examinations for the 1998 Fall
Term. At the Masters level, rather than a separate school law question, faculty
drafted questions that encompassed legal issues in all other curriculum areas. Also,
for Specialist level students, faculty utilized a prepared script for oral exams thus
attenuating somewhat their impromptu nature.
revised 1994-95
EDAD faculty decided that oral examinations would be administered to specialist level
students in the future
All masters level students in Educational
Administration are given a written comprehensive examination with questions that are
written by the university faculty. They are asked to assume a position, solve a problem
and justify their solution.
Specialist Degree (Superintendent): The
student will be given an oral examination over the following areas: public
relations, school law, school facilities, business management, and administrative theory.
Specialist Degree (Principalship K-12):
The student will be given an oral examination over the following areas: public relations,
school law, administrative theory, and other educational administration areas not tested
over during a previous program.
Specialist Degree (Supervisor - Academic
Area): The student will be tested over the following areas; curriculum planning,
staff/personnel, public relations, school law, supervision, and other educational
administration courses not taken during a previous program. There may be comprehensive
examination questions from the academic area. |
