Key Assessment 2:
Program Portfolio
1. Brief description of the assessment and its use in the program
The Program Portfolio is a sequenced collection of the Program’s Key Assignments,
including reflections on each assignment, and a final reflection. All candidates must
complete the Key Assessments and the Program Portfolio. Satisfactory completion of
the Portfolio with sufficient evidence of meeting all ELCC Standards allows candidates
to graduate the program and receive institutional recommendation for the School
Building Leader License.
Given that the completed portfolio summarizes all elements of what candidates gain
from the program, the entire set of results for the portfolio are presented here for cross-
comparison. However, the unique data that are most directly relevant to this key
assessment are reflections and the exhibit scores on the following two key assignments:
1. Curriculum Map from EDA 720
Completed near the beginning of one’s time in the program, this assignment assesses
candidates’ ability to create an effective, practical curriculum based on their knowledge
both of discipline content and classroom practicalities. This assignment represents the
foundation of candidate’s knowledge as they begin to grow as education leaders.
2. Professional Development Exercise from EDA 733
This assignment, completed near the end of candidates’ time in the program,
includes a mock professional development staff meeting in which the candidates guide
their mock staff through practices and principles, and help them identify what it means
to have the essence of the discipline. This assignment represents both many aspects of
what they have learned from the program as well as how they can build on the
curriculum map, above.

2. Description of How This Assessment Specifically Aligns with the
NSTE Standards Cited in Section III.
The Key Assessments are aligned with ELCC Standards as follows. Through completion of all
Key Assignments, candidates demonstrate mastery of all standards.

3. Brief Analysis of the Data Findings
Faculty review of the Program Portfolios has indicated a strong relationship between
candidate reflections on key assignments included in the Portfolio and candidate
demonstration of growth through the program. Review has also indicated a wide
variation in performance on the Program Portfolio Final Reflection and Leadership
Platform, suggesting that candidate performance is determined more by the individual
than by the program.
4. Interpretation of How Data Provide Evidence for Meeting Standards
Because candidates have multiple opportunities to achieve and demonstrate
achievement of mastery of standards, review of the portfolio allows faculty reviewers to
assess whether or not all standards have been met. The requirement that candidates
maintain a GPA of 3.0 and regular monitoring of GPA with a policy of meeting with
candidates whose GPA drops below 3.0, faculty determine whether or not candidates
may proceed through each of the four transition points (admission, admission to the full
ELCC
time internship, exit from the full time internship, and completion of the program),
candidates occasionally leave the program. Therefore, it should not be surprising that
candidates in the ELP all receive a satisfactory score on the Program Portfolio.
The progression of assignment reflections and final reflection provide an important
component of the assessment of the Program Portfolio. Each portfolio is reviewed by
the two full time faculty and one adjunct. The Portfolio Grade is based on review of
these reflections.
The purpose of the Portfolio is to assess growth in meeting all standards as candidates
progress through the program. Faculty collaboratively review and discuss candidate
reflections, providing evidence of growth of individual candidates and of the Program’s
providing experiences that lead to meeting standards. When a significant number of
candidates fail to provide adequate evidence of growth through the program, program
faculty determine the need to change components of the program, including admissions
process and use of adjunct faculty.

2. Reflective Clinical Supervision Assignment
(ELCC Standards 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3)
If the colleague on site with whom you practiced the planning conference is not the participant
for the whole clinical supervision cycle, find another teacher who will volunteer to do the
complete cycle. Complete the cycle on site and prepare the following written report:
A. Summarize or recount each phase of the cycle: planning conference, observation,
post-conference, and collaborative reflection. A video- or audiotape can substitute
for the written description.
B. Analyze the data from each approach choice you made and then interpret the data.
1. How much teacher input was there in the planning conference? Would you
recommend a change in the approach to this teacher in another planning session?
Why?
2. Did the observation tool reveal the behaviors on which you and your colleague
agreed to focus? How or why not? Was the observation tool you chose
appropriate and effective? Is it a tool you would use again? Why or why not?
What other tool would you suggest?
3. Which interpersonal approach did you use in the post-conference? Why? What
was the teacher's response? How well did it work?
4. What were the teacher's reactions to the process? How effective was the
collaborative reflection? What did you learn?
C. Provide a final reflection on the whole process, that is, your personal evaluation of
what worked and was of value and what you will think about doing differently in
the future.

3. Leadership Platform
EDA 724
Prepare a first draft of a professional platform in which you articulate your personal
leadership goals and priorities and a school vision for learning. The platform should
reflect your beliefs and values as well as your developing understanding of issues in
school reform.
Your platform should clearly articulate your vision for creating and sustaining an
environment where all students learn at the highest levels. This should include
descriptions of the role of students, teachers, families, communities, policy makers, and
leaders in educational improvement. Use the following questions as a guide:
Student Outcomes
What are your goals or hopes for your students?
What are the types of skills, attitudes, and feelings you want students to
possess?
Instructional Climate
What type of climate is needed to support the student outcomes you identified
above?
What can you do to help establish that climate?
Teaching and Learning
What are your views about teaching and learning?
How should instruction be organized and delivered to support the type of
climate and student outcomes you desire?
Leadership and Governance
What is your philosophy on leadership?
What can leaders do to create effective schools?
How will you exercise leadership in your building?
What will the governance structure look like?
What are your responsibilities as a leader?
How will you work with teachers and staff, students, parents, community, and
district officials?
The Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC) believes that the
knowledge and ability to promote the success of all students requires that
aspiring leaders be able to address the following questions:
1. How would you facilitate the development, articulation, implementation,
and stewardship of a school vision of learning supported by the school community?
2. How would you promote a positive school culture, providing an effective
instructional program, applying best practice to student learning, and designing
ELCC
comprehensive professional growth plans for staff?
3. How would you manage the organization, operations, and resources in a way
that promotes a safe, efficient, and effective learning environment?
4. What are your ideas for collaborating with all families and other
community members, responding to diverse community interests and needs, and
mobilizing
community resources?
5. Provide examples of how you would act with integrity, fairly, and in an
ethical manner.
6. How would you seek to understand, respond to, and influence the larger
political, social, economic, legal, and cultural context?

8. Field Experience Reflections
The purpose of the Reflective Journal that you will keep throughout your field
experience is to provide you with a place to openly express the feelings, questions, and issues
that the experience raises for you. You are required to submit at least one entry per week, but
you may wish to record your impressions more often; we will respond to as many entries as
you make. You may choose to record your reflections on email. We will respond to email
journal entries between our meetings if you so request. Please let us know if you would like
(fairly) quick feedback. If you choose this option, send the email entry before class and bring a
hard copy when you come to class. Some of you may also want to use your journal as a field
experience log – just make sure that you include reflective entries.
Your journal entries are also an ideal opportunity for Discussion Board dialogue. Any
ideas or dilemmas in your internships or readings to which your colleagues can respond or
‘nourish,’ can be posted and also submitted as journal entries.

a.3. Portfolio Final Reflection and Rubric
YOUR PERSONAL METAPHOR
The personal metaphor is the concluding entry in the portfolio. It documents the
changing metaphor of you as a leader. It meets CSI Goal 3 (Development of
Professional Dispositions) and ELCC Standards 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3.
The metaphor is comprised of four submissions:
1. The first submission is your sense of who you were at the beginning of your program in
education leadership and who you are now as you begin your field experience.
2. The second, submitted after 4 weeks of your field experience, examines what has changed
and what has stayed the same in your original metaphor.
• What factors, events, and experiences have led to the change or resulted in the
confirmation of your metaphor?
3. The third submission, after 8 weeks of your field experience, asks you to think ahead to
your career in education leadership.
• Which aspects of your role as an administrator are you confident with? Where do
these confidences come from?
• What concerns remain? Why?
• How has your metaphor changed?
4. Your final submission, due at the end of your field experience, asks you to look back on
your experiences as a developing professional.
• What do the exhibits and reflections in your portfolio tell about your academic and
professional development as a leader over time?
• How strongly do you feel that you are developing the understanding and gaining
the power necessary to direct your own development as a leader?
• How have your knowledge, skills and dispositions developed over time?
• What stands out in your field experience as most meaningful to your development
as a professional?
• How do you define your metaphor now?
• Give specific examples to help explain your opinions.
