ASSESSMENT PLAN
All graduate student candidates are required to pass a comprehensive exam at or near the completion of their coursework. This test is created and evaluated by the Graduate Program Committee.
1999-2000 ASSESSMENT
1998-99 ASSESSMENT
1997-98 ASSESSMENT
Comprehensive examinations indicate students are well prepared in general. The restructuring of the Elementary School Curriculum course is being evaluated.
1996-97 ASSESSMENT
Comprehensive examinations indicate students are well prepared in all content areas. The singular area of concern raised by the comprehensive examination centers on students' depth of understanding regarding purpose of the school's curriculum. This concern will be addressed via revision of the syllabus for ELED 850, Elementary School Curriculum, and reassignment of the course to a department faculty member.
1995-96 ASSESSMENT
Comprehensive examinations indicate students have mastered key concepts within the content areas of the elementary school curriculum. Transfer of learning to specific situations has shown improvement from the previous yearly assessment, however, some concern remains. The Graduate Program Committee Chair will study this concern as part of his yearly plan.
1994-95 ASSESSMENT
Comprehensive examinations indicate students have mastered key concepts within the content areas of the elementary curriculum.
1993-94 ASSESSMENT
The comprehensive examinations for the most part confirmed that our students are well prepared, however we did see some weakness in the area of transferring learning from one situation to another. We have restructured ELED 8?? to address this deficiency.
