AFFILIATION: University of Missouri -- St. Louis College of Education Office of Educator Effectiveness and Accreditation
OFFICE OF EDUCATOR EFFECTIVENESS AND ACCREDITATION Established in April 2013 Director: Rick Stanton SCOPE Coordinator: David Barbero Report Coordinator: Debbie Ballard
Overview I will... • share our journey, which is ongoing • illustrate our evolution to a developmental assessment system • envision the future • exchange ideas
Key Players • NCATE CAEP • MoDESE • Dean Carole Basile • Faculty leadership • AssociateDean Helene Sherman Ann Taylor • Dr. Michael Bahr • Faculty involvement • Committee for Program Quality • Administrative support • Office of Educator Effectiveness and Accreditation (of course!) • Office of Clinical Experience and Partnerships • Primary platform=Foliotek • ...and others
THE Evolution of SCOPE System for Comprehensive Ongoing… Program EnhancementPreparation of Educators • No longer just an “electronic file-cabinet” • Unit Assessment System now has multiple tiers with distinguished targets of development
Goals for the Candidate Tier • Provide Alternative Measure of Candidate Learning • Demonstrate and Foster Candidate Growth (Developmental) • Promote Innovative Practices • Support High Quality Professional Experiences • Gather Evidence of Impact • Candidate’s Impact on Students • College’s Impact on Community • Embrace New State Standards • Missouri Educator Standards • Missouri Standards for Preparation of Educators (MOSPE) • Prepare Candidates for Evaluation after Employment • Missouri Educator Evaluation System (MEES)
Great Leap Forward: Rethinking the Teacher Portfolio • Perfect Timing • New adaptive e-portfolio platform • New set of standards • How can we add value to this instrument and support our goals? • Not a critique of portfolios in general
Meeting our Goals: GOALS Provide Alternative Measure of Candidate Learning Demonstrate and Foster Candidate Growth Formative vs. Summative Developmental Continuum
Meeting our Goals: GOALS Embrace New State Standards Prepare Candidates for Evaluation as Working Educators Standards / Quality Indicators aligned to courses Distinguish addressing vs. assessing Mesh with state assessments (MEGA)
Required Written Evidence in Practicum One and Practicum Two
Example: MEP Summary Page
Example: An MEP Domain Page
Meeting our Goals: GOAL Foster Innovative Practices Low-Stakes (not a degree requirement, nor pass/fail) Candidate-Initiated Evidence
Meeting our Goals: GOALS Support High Quality Professional Experiences Gather Evidence of Impact • Provide guidelines for measuring student impact (when possible) • Differentiate impact from other types of professional experience • Encourage professional guidance over purely academic feedback • Track collective impact in field work
Using the Data Resulting aggregate data is used for program improvement Data is incorporated into a student “dashboard” Candidates complete periodic growth guides (early stages)
Example: Ratings of Teacher Candidates in Practicum One and Practicum Two (counts)
Example: Responses to M.Ed. Exit Survey (averages)
CHANGING THE CULTURE • Focus on usability – Removing the hurdles • Increase faculty/adjunct participation (nudging the holdouts) • Leverage multiple methods of dissemination • Websites, blogs, SEO -- coe.umsl.edu/scope • Course management system • Training sessions • Classroom visits • Promos and flyers
CONNECTING THE DOTS • Integrate SCOPE with other systems • Student data management system • Degree audit system • COE Portal • Increase inter-rater reliability by comparing data to other evaluations and state assessments that are based on the same standards • Clinical teacher evaluations • Field experience observations • and growing…
Taking the “SCOPE Way”College-Wide SCOPE… …will extend to all programs, not just teacher certification. …align to other sets of candidate standards and program goals (standards-based). …can be even more applicable at the graduate level. …can link the “strand” of moving from ‘Candidate’ to ‘Distinguished’ / undergraduate to graduate.
It’s growing: More than 1200 new student accounts in a span of 15 months
