Please provide any additional comments about the information provided above.

Candidates must write a letter of application indicating their profession experience and expressing their academic and professional goal.

Section I.c Enrollment

Provide the number of students in the teacher preparation program in the following categories. Note that you must report on the number of students by ethnicity and race separately. Individuals who are non-Hispanic/Latino will be reported in one of the race categories. Also note that individuals can belong to one or more racial groups, so the sum of the members of each racial category may not necessarily add up to the total number of students enrolled.

For the purpose of Title II reporting, an enrolled student is defined as a student who has been admitted to a teacher preparation program, but who has not completed the program during the academic year being reported. An individual who completed the program during the academic year being reported is counted as a program completer and not an enrolled student.

Additional guidance on reporting race and ethnicity data.

Recruitment of teachers has been an ongoing concern. While the need for special education teachers remains, many are discouraged from becoming teachers for various reasons. Moreover, some candidates may struggle with content area tests, which delays their time to degree. Support is offered (workshops, Plato, faculty tutorial sessions), but attendance is low. University and unit recruitment methods have been stepped up to include a recruitment strategic plan.

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.

Candidates are assessed using rubrics throughout their program in the use of basic and assistive technology. Candidates are evaluated by content area teachers, university and field supervisors. Data from Live Text show KYSU candidate scores range from 3.1 - 3.58 indicating they "Meet or Exceed" the standard. Data gleaned from Live Text is reviewed annually for program improvement. Candidates in methods courses must develop daily, unit and supplemental plans as part of their content courses. The principles of UbD and the states' required lesson plan template are integrated to determine candidate proficiency. Through the use of key assessment (Hallmark Assignments), rubrics are used to determine their skill level. The assignments are also included in their portfolios and are assessed by external evaluators. Lessons are also evaluated during field and clinical experiences by the university supervisor, supervising teachers and principals. Data are then disaggregated by each program to determine proficiency. Program completers scores ranged from 3.3 to 3.6 indicating they are "Meeting the Standard in curriculum and planning."

Beginning in Education 2003, students must show proficiency in using Excel and Access to gather data. Specific activities are aligned with technology standards and unit goals. In the Educational Assessment class, candidates must complete directed activities that include test item analysis, test construction and summarizing data to plan appropriate student learning outcomes (including appropriate outcomes for special populations). Data are collected in Live Text and can be aggregated and disaggregated at multiple levels.

Include planning activities and a timeline if any of the three elements listed above are not currently in place.

At the graduate level, candidates engage in field experiences during their coursework and the culminating practicum. During these experiences, candidates' assignments in assessment, IEP, FBA and required assessments are correlated with coursework. Candidates, under the supervision of the cooperating teacher, must carry out such assessments and use this data to write assessment reports. From this data, they must analyze and develop appropriate programs, giving appropriate researched bata to support their decisions. Candidates are also required to develop a professional development seminar for general education teachers to demonstrate how to engage in collaborative-team teaching. In specific courses (methods) they are required to plan lessons and units with regular education teachers and demonstrate via narrative how these lessons will be taught collaboratively. Through the Special Education Law course, Introduction to Special Education and Methods courses, they are engaged in activities, discussion boards an

Within their school settings or during field experiences, candidates must document their participation in an IEP or IFSP meeting. These two activities are aligned with CEC and Kentucky Standards in collaboration. Mock IEP meetings and case studies are used as Hallmark Assignments to determine candidate skill level. Throughout the content courses, field, and clinical experiences, candidates have directed assignments that focus on limited English proficient students. Methods courses require candidates to differentiate lessons and instructional pedagogy to address the unique needs of ESL students. During student teaching, a submitted collaborative project the candidate's work must show they can comprehend, identify, analyze put into practice appropriate best practices.

"The teacher preparation program at Kentucky State University is designed with the undergirding belief that teachers are Liberators through Education. We believe that education is powerful and can serve as the source of changing one's life for the better. We offer programs in Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, four secondary 9-12 program (English, Biology, Mathematics, and Social Studies), three K-12 areas (Art, Music and Health, and Physical Education); and an Alternative Initial Certification through the Master of Arts in Special Education (Learning Behavior Disorders K-12) program. We are a small program under new leadership. An Interim Chair has been identified as the past chair has moved to become the Interim Associate Provost. Kentucky State University is the only Historically Black College in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and produces over 33% or the minority teachers and probably a numerical equal amount of non-minority teachers for the State. We are also proud to pr"
