Do you have any suggestions to facilitate edTPA reporting when it becomes consequential? (5000 character max) Candidates in ECE, ELE, SEC and SPE teacher preparation programs during the 20142015 academic year are preparing to successfully complete the edTPA in the Fall 2015 and thereafter. Candidates are currently completing assignments and key assessments aligned to the edTPA tasks in order to receive practice and guidance in preparation for taking the consequential edTPA assessment next year. Thus far we have learned that full implementation is very time intensive and involves nearly every department and function of the institution, not just candidates and faculty. Our Enrollment and Advising teams are working on getting information about edTPA to all teacher candidates. Our Outreach team is making connections to schools and districts to help them understand the new video requirement, and our Financial Aid team is working on ways for students to pay the new fees. Our deans and chairs will be developing plans for retake and remediation and how to compensate faculty for their work in these areas. In order to facilitate reporting, we will require a passing score on the edTPA before we will post a final grade for student teaching seminar. This will ensure that all candidates have taken the edTPA and we have recorded their scores. Based on the scores we have received for pilot edTPA submissions, we believe it would be helpful to receive copies of narrative comments from the scorers along with the rubric scores. 3 Describe how program faculty review assessment data throughout the program (content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge [specifically, instructional planning and candidate impact on student growth], clinical experience (this may include fieldwork and student teaching and dispositions). (5000 character max) NCE requires all of its programs to annually report, review, and reflect upon the data collected and aggregated from program key assessments which include assessment of: content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, instructional planning, candidate impact on student growth, clinical experience, candidate dispositions, diversity proficiencies, and technology proficiencies. Review of the data occurs throughout the academic year, at the end of each quarter and cumulatively at the conclusion of the academic year as program faculty views and analyzes the aggregated data from key assessments completed by their candidates. Comparisons are made from reviewing present and past data, especially examining areas where the data indicates that candidates are not fully meeting outcomes as expected at the mastery level. Additionally, data collected at transition points in the program are reviewed by faculty. Transition points refer to the benchmark experiences in the program where key assessments are implemented (beginning of program, middle of program and end of program). Reviewing assessment data at these transition points allows program faculty the opportunity to determine candidate outcomes related to performance and ongoing development toward the overarching goal of becoming an effective professional. Discussion and goal setting take place for setting up a plan for improving curriculum, instructional strategies, assignments, assessments and rubrics as well as program development as a means for assisting candidates in their continued development and growth as educators. In the autumn of the academic year, all NCE programs submit their annual program assessment reports to the NCE Assessment Committee which is comprised of a faculty from across the college who are trained in assessment practices. This committee reviews program assessment reports using a rubric that is designed to provide feedback to faculty in each program. Program faculty review the feedback and use it to assist in further refinement of key assessments and data analysis. 4 Provide an update of program changes from the previous academic year; which program changes, if any, were made/approved during the reporting period.(5000 character max)There were no program changes during the previous academic year. Currently, the program competency appraisals, key assessments, and rubrics are in the process of being revised to support our candidates' passing of the newly adopted edTPA licensing exam. As of November, 2014 we are still involved in this process and hope to complete it by the end of the Winter term. These revisions will provide a common language across the secondary education program as well as provide a clear, evidencebased infrastructure for developing candidates with baseline proficiencies in planning, instruction, assessment, and professional dispositions. The revisions will also include a series of revised assignments embedded in the clinical field hours in order to allow candidates to understand, practice, and, ultimately, pass the edTPA assessment required by the State of Illinois of all teacher candidates for licensure starting September 1, 2015. Following the completion of this revision, all SEC programs will include a linked practicum/seminar experience to support candidates' preparation for the edTPA, and all teacher candidates will take the same Foundations course, 510.
