TracDat Reviews (Feedback overview)
Updates Required
Consistent language across objective, criterion, results, and follow-up
Congruency between results and indication of criterion met
Number of students AND percentages must be noted in the results narrative
Absence of indicators of continuous improvement in means of assessment/criterion,
action/follow-up (i.e., stable % of expectations in scores and student achievement,
persisting small samples for assessment without indication of effort to increase
numbers; inattention to results in action/follow-up and in establishing future criterion
for assessment)
Differences across programs in expectations of success (i.e. % of students expected to meet the
criterion of objectives)
Action/Follow-up embedded in results—make sure to differentiate between results and followUp
Careful review of the current objectives for clarity and relevance
