The data shows that overall 88% of students scored accomplished or higher in the category of technology. The average for each subcategory was above 80%. To continue to grow in the category of technology, we created a Kentucky State University YouTube channel. Candidates use the YouTube channel to increase their educational practice using technology.

This data is based upon 3 student teachers in the spring of 2019, 3 in the fall of 2019, and 4 in spring of 2020. The data shows the percentage of teachers in each semester that scored targeting or higher on the rating candidate assessment and objectives.

The data shows that overall 78% of the students demonstrated targeting or above in the category of context. The data shoes that students were able to explain how lessons relate to units and connect attributes that affect student learning. The EPP addressed feedback that stated students need more information on the pre-assessment portion that leads to a unit. This was addressed by increasing the amount of assessments created in EDU 303 (Educational Assessment and Evaluation) and providing student with professional development to develop a better understanding with designing instructions.

The data shows that overall 81% of students demonstrated targeting or above in the category of objectives. We will continue to emphasize the importance of aligning stands and using “I can” statements to ensure our candidates are using student-centered measureable objectives. The importance of this will be pointed out during courses, as well as department meetings.

The data shows that overall 89% of students demonstrated targeting or above the category of connections. When reviewing feedback, it is clear that students need further assistance connecting these objectives to standards. To continue to push candidates forward, we will provide more detailed focus on connecting standards and supporting with thorough explanation. This will be em phasized in EDU 202 (Introduction to Education) and EDU 454 (Student Teaching).

The data shows that overall 89% of students demonstrated targeting or above the category of assessment planning and student baseline knowledge and skills. To continue to push candidates toward the advanced section, we will offer professional development with assessment and adaptations/accommodations which support students' IEP assessments.
