===== PAGE 8 =====
#### 6.1. Summarize any data-driven EPP-wide or programmatic modifications, innovations, or changes planned, worked on, or completed in the last academic year
This is an opportunity to share targeted continuous improvement efforts your EPP is proud of. Focus on one to two major efforts the EPP made and the relationship among data examined, changes, progress with any Transition Plans (initial-licensure level) and/or Phase-in Plans (advanced level), and studying the results of those changes.
Due to low percentages of students passing the Praxis I, and PLT the past few years, the EPP implemented Praxis review opportunities coordinated by the KEA-SP President and executive committee, of which continues to take place in reserved areas within the school. In addition, the library continues to order Praxis testing resources to further prepare students to pass the exams. To further assist the students with the EPP continued the online Praxis study program that enables students to receive more in-depth practice opportunities. The consistent servicing of students through the KEA-SP and library study opportunities, the EPP has seen an increase in students taking and passing the exams. The EPP continues to provide students, Praxis Core, Praxis Content and PLT practice opportunities of which occurs in the foundational courses and educator workshops. The foundational courses are taken by students before they are admitted into the EPP by the TEC (Teacher Education Committee). Each course reviews and covers specific content from the Praxis I and PLT. To further prepare our students the EPP has created two clinical courses (EDU 450 & 452) that are to be taken by students before they enter the training. These courses have allowed students to be able to receive extensive training before the Student Teaching process. Furthermore, the implementation of the Clinical courses has allowed each student to receive vast opportunities to learn and develop as educators through the engaging and effective learning environment before the student teaching, thus creating a smooth transition once the students are in the student teaching. The courses have provided students the opportunity to develop immediate knowledge on how to effectively respond to the open response questions for success and the purpose of the Praxis II exam. After re-examining the undergraduate student praxis data, the initial implementation of the practice opportunities displayed a steady increase in student performance over the course of two semesters. To further provide resources for students with the program re-implemented the Praxis study courses that would provide a more hands-on approach for Praxis I exams (EDU 206- Math & EDU 207-Reading & Writing). Early data reports are showing a positive increase in the students passing the Praxis I Exam on the first attempt. The graduate students continue to consistently perform well on the Praxis II exam, at a passing rate above 90%. On the first attempt, the PEP continues to use online resources to assist students during the preparation phase. The resources continue to be located on the EPP's website, within the student study office for 24/7 student access, and intentionally discussed during the month. All Majors Meetings (Student meeting). In addition, the EPP continues to use the model classrooms that mirrors current K-12 classrooms, which includes the latest learning technology to give students a head start on becoming knowledgeable and efficient practitioners of the learning equipment/environment.
