This session will include a description of the Neag School of Educations Assessment Plan and an overview of studies that have been completed recently. Specifically, panelists will describe major findings from our alumni and employee surveys, staffing research, and K-12 studies (including recent results from studies of student achievement in math and reading). Then, with audience participation, we will open a discussion of possible directions for future research to meet CTs K-12 district needs.

  • Top 3 themes: Clinical My student teaching experience changed my life and affected my teaching more than I ever thought possible. I was able to implement many of the teaching strategies that I learned at NEAG during this experience. Having spent the first half of the year visiting the classroom, and the second half student teaching in that same classroom was incredibly beneficial. Courses The individual methods courses offered for each content area during the TCPCG program has been the most relevant and useful of all courses. Furthermore, the courses on Multicultural education and Students with special needs continue to be important in my career and I often refer to materials for information. Faculty I think the most valuable experiences I had in the Neag School were the connections I made with my professors. I always felt well-supported and mentored by the professors I had, and I still e-mail with several of them for advice and help. These professors are not only experts in their fields, but valuable resources and friends to all students in the Neag School. WHAT WOULD YOU CONSIDER THE MOST VALUABLE EXPERIENCE OFFERED BY THE NSOE?
  • Slide 25
  • Top 3 themes: Courses The course about special education was not effective in preparing me for the teaching field. While this is an important topic to be aware of, the material was not presented in a manner that I was able to retain information, and I did not feel prepared to handle situations involving special education upon entering the teaching field. Clinical The clinicals that were outside of your concentration-- for me, high school social studies did not help me much with elementary school. Instead give us time in primary vs. intermediate elementary. Technology During my time there, the technology component was least valuable. We basically just demonstrated proficiency with Microsoft Office programs. WHAT DID YOU FIND LEAST VALUABLE?

  • Slide 52
  • PURPOSE & RESEARCH QUESTION Purpose: to examine whether variations in response to an evidence-based instrument can be attributed to: group membership (pre- on in-service teacher), field (elementary, secondary, special; education), and/or the interaction between group membership and field. Research Question: Is there a significant interaction between group (pre- and in- service teachers) and field (elementary, secondary, special education) with respect to the overall score and factor scores on an instrument designed to measure confidence of evidence- based practice use?

  • SIGNIFICANCE AND FUTURE RESEARCH 1.Respondents in special education feel significantly more confident than respondents in both elementary and secondary education, irrespective of type of service, in their knowledge of and confidence for these factors Could this be the result of the redesign of the Special Education Program? Perhaps special education teachers practice in each of the four factors relates to higher levels of confidence? 2.Given the significant main effect for type and the positive correlation results, it could be implied that there may exist more complicated relationship in specific areas such as instructional flexibility/individualization or general teaching/assessment tasks. More research is necessary 3.Findings are significant as teacher education programs reevaluate curricula toward evidence- based models of service delivery such as RtI. How does the teacher education program use this data to drive course revision? How might qualitative examination of students in individual programs yield deeper understanding? How are practitioners implementing evidence-based practices in relationship to confidence? 4.The findings raise important questions about the changing role of the special educator in K-12 schools, signaling a potential change in how schools leverage interventionists to support multiple tiers of school-wide support.

  • As Education Secretary Duncan discussed the goal from Obama administrations Race to the Top legislation at an annual meeting of the American Association of College of Teacher Education in February of 2010 in Atlanta, To put it in the simplest terms, we believe teacher-preparation programs should be focused on results. We continue to strive to build an evidence-based teacher preparation model for our own teacher preparation program directly linked to pupil academic performance.
