Outcomes of Previous Assessments As a new program director for the MS and EdS in CTE, my interpretation of the 2008 assessment report was actually a newly developed assessment plan. In that plan, several new strategies were developed to assess the growth of graduates in both programs. A new competency portfolio rubric was developed and implemented with students completing the CTE Coordinator licensure requirements. Data was been collected and will be presented in this report. The students enrolled in the CTE Coordinator licensure program may or may not be concurrently enrolled in the MS or EdS in Career and Technical Education. Three levels of benchmark criteria were identified (see Appendix A). These benchmark criteria were implemented, however, no data is currently available to provide a report of the implementation of the benchmark criteria. As the result of the newly developed assessment plan, this report will focus on competency attainment for the CTE Coordinator licensure program completers, using the tools identified in the 2008 report. In addition, data collection and subsequent analysis from graduate follow up studies will be summarized.. 2. Questions To Be Answered From This Year’s Assessment The 2009 assessment report will focus on data collected from the students completing the CTE Coordinator (previously known as LVEC). As part of the requirements, students build a portfolio that demonstrates competency attainment. Those competencies come directly from the PI 34 licensure requirements for the CTE Coordinator. In addition, general competencies achieved by the graduates of the MS and EdS degrees as reported in the graduate follow up reports will be presented. 3. Methods Used to Gather Data: Upon completion of required coursework and internship, students in the CTE Coordinator licensure program compile a competency portfolio. Thirteen students completed the program between 2007-9 and submitted portfolios. The program director, Dr. Howard D. Lee, evaluated all of the portfolios using the rubric that was created. Ratings from the rubrics were entered into a spreadsheet, compiling the data of all 13 students. Data is reported using mean and average rating calculations on each of the competencies listed in the rubric. Budget, Planning and Analysis provided summaries and reports from 1-5 year graduate follow up studies for both the EdS and MS in Career and Technical Education. MS & EdS CTE AIM Report 2008 Page 1 4. Number of Students Involved As noted above, data from 13 students who completed licensure requirements and submitted a portfolio between 2007-9 was compiled. That data is presented in this report. The number of respondents to the graduate follow-up studies was fairly small; nine graduates responded to the one-year MS CTE survey; four graduate responded to the five-year MS CTE survey; one graduate responded to the one-year EdS CTE survey and two graduates responded to the five-year EdS CTE survey. Total respondents for the four surveys were 13. 5. Level of Students Only graduate students were involved in the collection of data presented in this report.. 6. Data Analysis Techniques Information collected will be placed in tables. 7. Analysis of Data Competency Portfolio – CTE Coordinator Data collected from the competency portfolio are presented in tabular format. The program director has presented the competencies that have the highest means as well as one competency that reported the lowest mean. Ratings of four competency areas reveal student strength. These include 1.F.Identify important need in school and develop basic evaluation plan for their grant proposal. 2.A.Identify current practice, opportunities, challenges/issues of student organizations, and role of coordinator. 3.B.Models collaboration with families and community members, responding to diverse community interests and needs, and mobilizing community resources. 4.D.Develop a basic line item budget for proposal. 6.B.Interview LVEC and/or principal on Education for Employment issues and 7. Developing and managing budgets and grants. 3. Understanding and promoting the concept of comprehensive programs in career and technical education which includes cocurricular career and technical student organizations related to each of the disciplines. 6. Developing school, business, and community relations that support the goals of career and technical education including creating advisory committees and serving on economic development committees. 7. Developing and managing budgets and grants. 12. Understanding the Wisconsin Developmental Guidance Model and the Education for Employment Standards, especially the relationship between comprehensive career development and MS & EdS CTE AIM Report 2008 13 3.54 13 3.54 13 3.54 13 3.54 13 3.46 Page 2 challenges. career and technical education. It appears that students completing the course sequence and the internship requirement are confident in their abilities to function as a grant writer/developer and person responsible for the distribution of federal, state and local funds. They are also proficient in career and technical education philosophy that incorporates work-based and school-based learning strategies. Communications, collaboration and working with program stakeholders and the public are also areas of strengths for program completers. Working with stakeholders includes guidance and other school staff, implementing the initiatives of Education for Employment and Developmental Guidance. One competency had the lowest mean: 3.C. Understands, responds to, and interacts with the larger political, social, economic, legal, and cultural context that affects schooling. 6. Developing school, business, and community relations that support the goals of career and technical education including creating advisory committees and serving on economic development committees. 8. Gathering, analyzing and disseminating data related to career and technical education, including local, state and national labor market information. 15. Understanding the roles and responsibilities of working in a profit-making business environment through externships, work experience, and volunteer experiences. 13 2.92 This particular competency deals with political, social, economic, legal and cultural contexts that affect school. Somewhat divergent from previous competency rankings, students demonstrated competence in this area received a less than 3.0 mean. Further analysis of this particular competency shows a range of 2 to 4 on a 4 point scale; three of the 13 students were awarded a 2; the rest of the students received ratings of 3 or 4. The complete data set of student results are found in Appendix C. Graduate follow up studies One and five year graduate follow up studies were conducted. The Office of Budget, Planning and Analysis provided summaries of the reports to the program director. The number of respondents to all four of the surveys were relatively low: There was an N of 3 total respondents (50%) to the one-year MS CTE program study; 4 respondents in the five-year study (24%); a total of four employers responded to the one-and five-year MS CTE follow up studies. Some generalizations can be made when combining data of previous year responses. Graduates of the MS program overall gave strong marks to their preparation and acquisition of basic skill sets, especially related to communication skills (presentations/listening; writing reports), understanding statistics and completing research studies. All of the MS graduates were employed in their field of study. MS & EdS CTE AIM Report 2008 Page 3 The responses to the EdS surveys were low as well. A total of 2 responded to the one-year follow up and 1 response to the five-year follow up survey. A total of 3 employers responded to both of the EdS surveys. Strengths identified by the employers, combining their responses included understanding with statistics; communication skills, writing and organizing projects. An area that had improved from reports in previous studies was the graduates ability to work in teams. Graduates of the EdS in CTE were fully satisfied with their UW-Stout experience and indicated they would enroll in the program again. The employers that responded (7 total in all four studies) were extremely satisfied with the academic preparation and work readiness of the Stout CTE graduates that they employed. Based on the responses of graduates and employers there were no areas of concern that could be generalized as an action item. 8. How Results Were Shared with Key Instructors This report, in its entirety, will be presented at program advisory committee meetings. 9. Plans for Improvements Based on Results. Data will be shared with key instructors and the program advisory committees. Of particular discussion will be identified strengths and weaknesses of individual competencies. Upon consultation with program stakeholders, the rubric for the Competency portfolio will be evaluated. It is a labor-intensive process for the student as well as the evaluator. As a new program director, questions and concerns I have relate to the cumbersome-ness of the portfolio process. Is there a way to meet the spirit of the certification and licensure requirements with integrity and simplify the process at the same time? In addition, a discussion of what the data presents in terms of meaningful input to the program needs to occur. Graduate follow-up studies with program specific questions designed for completers of the MS and EdS CTE programs have been developed and will be implemented during the 2009-10 academic year. This tool will provide meaningful data to the program director relative to program curriculum. The intention of the benchmarks for advanced degree programs was to improve the quality of the students enrolling in all SOE programs. Of concern in this case are those in the MS and EdS in Career and Technical Education. The benchmarking was to help in comparing program to program data within the School of Education. No data has been compiled or shared with this program director to do so. Graduate program directors need to talk about this among themselves and with their advisory committees to determine if it is a process that adds value to the SOE. It it is, data needs to be gathered to provide enough information to guide decision making.
