## Section IV Low-Performing

Provide the following information about the approval or accreditation of your teacher preparation program

Is your teacher preparation program currently approved or accredited? Yes

If yes, please specify the organization(s) that approved or accredited your program:

State

NCATE

Is your teacher preparation program currently under a designation as "low-performing" by the state (as per section 207(a) of the HEA of 2008)?

## Section V Use of Technology

Provide the following information about the use of technology in your teacher preparation program. Please note that choosing 'yes' indicates that your teacher preparation program would be able to provide evidence upon request.

Does your program prepare teachers to:

Integrate technology effectively into curricula and instruction Yes

- use technology effectively to collect data to improve teaching and learning Yes

- use technology effectively to manage data to improve teaching and learning. Yes

Use technology effectively to analyze data to improve teaching and learning. Yes

Provide a description of the evidence that your program uses to show that it prepares teachers to integrate technology effectively into curricula and instruction, and to use technology effectively to collect, manage, and analyze data in order to improve teaching and learning for the purpose of increasing student academic achievement. Include a description of the evidence your program uses to show that it prepares teachers to use the principles of universal design for learning, as applicable. Include planning activities and a timeline if any of the four elements listed above are not currently in place

One of the two Ed Core courses required for admission to our EPPs is an introductory course in technology. Students begin their electronic portfolios ( LiveText ) in this course and continue them until they graduate. All courses are housed in Blackboard and hatmark course assessments are housed in and analyzed via LiveText Meetings and classes are taught using a variety of techniques, including Smart boards, Power Point presentations, and YouTube videos. Candidates gain real-world practice in using apps, campus portals, and many other types of technology in P-12, as they complete 200 hours of field experiences and 70 days of student teaching.

## Section VI Teacher Training

Provide the following information about your teacher preparation program Please note that choosing 'yes' indicates that your teacher preparation program would be able to provide evidence upon request.

Does your program prepare general education teachers to:

===== PAGE 13 =====
• Yes
participate as a member of individualized education program teams
Yes
teach students who are limited English proficient effectively
Yes

Provide a description of the evidence your program uses to show that it prepares general education teachers to teach students with disabilities effectively, including training related to participation as a member of individualized education program teams, as defined in section 614(d)(1)(B) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and to effectively teach students who are limited English proficient. Include planning activities and a timeline if any of the three elements listed above are not currently in place.

All undergraduate teacher candidates complete Introduction to Exceptional Education prior to admission to student teaching. Field experiences and clinical practice are planned carefully to provide candidates with lots of experiences with lots of different children. Candidates keep track of the demographic characteristics, including the special needs, of students with whom they work during 200 hours of field experiences, using the state-wide Kentucky Field Experiences Tracking System (KFETS), which can be transferred between Kentucky IHEs. At this time, fostering the knowledge/skills of our candidates in teaching students with limited English proficiency is not our strength, but our new Cultural Competence initiative will assure that all ed prep graduates of KSU are fully prepared to foster the learning of these students, as well.

Does your program prepare special education teachers to

- teach students with disabilities effectively

participate as a member of individualized education program teams Yes

- teach students who are limited English proficient effectively

Yes

Provide a description of the evidence your program uses to show that it prepares special education teachers to teach students with disabilities effectively, including training related to participation as a member of individualized education program teams, as defined in section 614(d)(1)(B) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and to effectively teach students who are limited English proficient. Include planning activities and a timeline if any of the three elements listed above are not currently in place

Each course in our online special ed program requires field experiences designed to provide teach candidates to support and teach students with 504 plans, IEPs, IBPs, and IFPs effectively. Students participate in ARC meetings as part of this field work and during their clinical practice. Learning about students with limited English proficiency is not as methodical and depends on the candidates' location. This is an area in which we need more focus.
