Please include required fieldwork hours, clinical experience hours and student teaching hours tied to specific coursework within the course of study.

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 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. 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) BA Program: Although we believe data for this report from the State of Illinois Field 110: Elementary/Middle Grades Content test suggests that all candidates who are admitted to Student Teach in the BA Elementary Education Program possess a solid foundation in content knowledge that directly affect their ability to plan and organize instruction, we still believe that it is an area to be focused upon. The teacher candidates use their content knowledge to plan and implement lesson plans across the content areas as evidenced in the both the Student Teaching competency appraisal and the BA Program Portfolio in the area of Teaching and the Curriculum. Improvements in relation to teacher candidate content knowledge are beginning to see change through the work in the NCE Adaptive Cycles of Teaching (ACT). Science, Social Studies and Math will have strong content components to support teacher candidate learning of content and our assessment of their content knowledge. During the 201314 academic year, we piloted a new curriculum for the BA Elementary Education Program, the NCE Adaptive Cycles of Teaching utilizing a cloud based technology, the TREK Learning Experience Manager. This learning tool along with our work on the edTPA will have major implications for both our curriculum and our assessment system. Major work was completed in the area of Science, Social Studies and Math. This is a major focus of both the CTPP grant and our curriculum work. We understand the limitations of our assessment system and hope to make improvements. Year one of the pilot showed powerful results for the pilot edTPA in Literacy and supported content knowledge in that area. In year two, we will be designing new assessment rubrics across all content areas across planning, implementation, assessment and professional development. Broad changes will impact our future assessment reports. We serve a diverse, underserved population and know that they enter the University with challenges in the content areas. In response to this, the BA Elementary Education Program is involved in the final year of our Department of Education Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) grant, the CTPP Grant. Work on this grant has a primary focus on helping our teacher candidates develop a stronger content base in the areas of science, math and the English Language Arts. This work has initiated many rich conversations with our partner faculty in the College of Arts and Science with much potential collaboration to improve candidate content learning. During 201314, we completed major curriculum revision which will be tied to this grant. As stated in the previous section, work on the Learning Experience Manager, the NCE ACT, the edTPA, all supported intellectually and funded by the grant work has profoundly changed our program. 201415 will be the first year where this new curriculum is implemented across our entire program. MAT/AUSL Program: No program changes were made in 20132014. However, during that timeframe, faculty began designing new Elementary Education Grades 16 Program.
