Plans for Further Improvement
Social Services Counseling
Plans based on student learning outcome data
•
Data illustrates that students are not passing all eight core areas on the
comprehensive examination at the expected outcome. Data also illustrates that
the manner in which the exam results are reported are creating major difficulties
in collecting accurate data. The Counseling curriculum committee has
developed a new student learning outcomes and new collecting and reporting
guidelines to address this issue. These new procedures have been approved by a
majority vote by the curriculum committee and will be reviewed by the COE
Executive Committee during the summer 2010 (EO 1).
•
Review of the assessment data shows that student performance on the research
section of the CPCE does not meet the stated expected outcome. (EO 3A & 3B)
– During Spring and Summer (2010) the Counseling Curriculum Committee
will meet to develop specific plans for improvement.
– Plans for further improvement will include additional research oriented
assignments in core courses, development of an electronic research
teaching session for students to review prior to students taking the CPCE
(posted on the Counseling LiveText site), and other plans for improvement
developed by faculty.
