Graduate Program Review 2010-2011 Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership William Lan, Chair College of Education Charles Ruch, Interim Dean Peggy Johnson, Acting Dean November 2010 1 Graduate Program Review Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership 2004/2005 through 2009/2010 An orientation to the review: The organizational structure of the College of Education (COE) is different than the majority of academic units at Texas Tech University. Most notable is a centralized budget, with limited financial responsibility given to the departments. Therefore, most budgetary and some other data in this report are at the college, not department levels. For example, Chapter 5 in other program reviews is labeled “Department.” In this report, Chapter 5 is titled “College,” with associated data at that level. Similarly, the data in Chapter 3, Section A, the number, rank, and demographics of the graduate faculty, are actually for the entire COE graduate and undergraduate faculty. Because of the COE’s budgetary organization, the university’s Office of Institutional Research and Institutional Management (IRIM) has indicated an inability to disaggregate faculty data to the department level. Therefore these review data, as supplied by IRIM via the Graduate School are really college-level data. Because college and department data are intermixed, it is important that reviewers carefully note the headings on tables and graphs. I. Program Overview Mission Statement The Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership strives to stimulate and nurture the intellectual and personal growth of students as they prepare for careers as professionals/educators in one of the department’s six programs: Counselor Education, Educational Leadership/Administration, Educational Psychology, Higher Education, Instructional Technology, and Special Education. Educational Psychology & Leadership 2 Vision Statement The Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership engages students in experiences that broaden their skills in critical thinking, that prepare them for professional careers, and that instill in them a life-long commitment to professional and personal development. Furthermore, the Department will be a regional, state, and national leader in the preparation of educators/professionals; make noteworthy contributions to the profession of its respective programs; and prepare its students to assert leadership in addressing societal needs. Core Values Statement Programs in the Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership are committed to the following core values: dignity and worth of all individuals; cultural diversity; collaboration and cooperation; creativity, individuality, and innovation; academic integrity and excellence; open communication and collaborative decision making; professional and community service; and the interface of theory and practice. Strategic Priorities/Goals The following Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership strategic priorities or goals, align well with the strategic priorities of both the College of Education and Texas Tech University. These strategic priorities are the focus of the department’s Strategic Plan, which may be reviewed online. Strategic Priority 1 Increase Enrollment and Promote Student Success: Recruit, retain, and graduate/certify a larger and more diverse candidate body, which is academically and professionally prepared, technologically literate, and which can use assessment to adapt instruction, service, and programs for diverse learners. Strategic Priority 2 Strengthen Academic Quality and Reputation: Recruit and retain high quality, diverse, and productive faculty, who can enhance our teaching excellence and grow our number of nationally recognized programs. Continue to utilize and improve state and nationally recognized certification and degree programs, including international education ones. Strategic Priority 3 Expand and Enhance Research: Increase research productivity and funding for all areas of inquiry within the department. Educational Psychology & Leadership 3 Strategic Priority 4 Outreach and Engagement: Provide scholarly outreach opportunities and build strategic partnerships, alliances, and community outreach, both locally and internationally. Strategic Priority 5 Increase and Maximize Resources: Increase funding for student support, faculty support, and world-class facilities. Maximize those investments through more efficient operations in order to ensure affordability for students and accountability to the State of Texas. Action Plans The department’s strategic plan is relatively stable with few changes occurring over the 20102020 period of the document. On the other hand, college action plans, developed to include activities for both departments, provide greater details to direct work for a single year. Following is a portion of the current year’s plan for the first objective of the first strategic priority. The entire action plan may be reviewed online. (Note that some data are still being collected.) Strategic Priority 1 Increase Enrollment and Promote Student Success: Recruit, retain, and graduate/certify a larger and more diverse candidate body, which is academically and professionally prepared, technologically literate, and which can use assessment to adapt instruction, service, and programs for diverse learners. Objective 1.1: Increase candidate enrollment, both in degree and certification programs, including through distance delivery. Increase Enrollment Action Plan * Action 1.1.1 Increase graduate enrollments 3% (both by numbers and SCHs) through administrative changes, including: reclassify CERT & GTEMP students, and expediting graduate student admission processes 1.1.2 Increase Dallas Area and Hill Country Program collective enrollments 20% (both by numbers and SCHs) 1.1.3 Increase Ph.D.s enrolled and (awarded) 3% (both by numbers and SCHs) by developing new programs in EDIT and EDSP and promoting a blended C&I Ph.D. program.. 1.1.4 Increase Ph.D. enrollment by recruiting 12-15 students for an Amarillo Area doctoral program in Counselor Education.

N/A N/A N/A 12 15 Educational Psychology & Leadership 4 Conceptual Framework Programs and work within the Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership are based on a well established conceptual framework. This framework establishes the shared vision for efforts in preparing educators. It provides direction for programs, courses, teaching, candidate performance, scholarship, service, and accountability. The conceptual framework is knowledgebased, articulated, shared, coherent, consistent with college and university mission, and continuously evaluated. The conceptual framework is currently under review and is being updated, but the present version may be viewed online. The Educator Preparation Assessment System An essential component of the conceptual framework is an assessment system. The Educator Preparation Assessment System (EPAS) serves as the foundation for all of the department’s programs. EPAS generates, organizes, and archives data to be used to advance the college’s mission. The assessment system has been developed over several years, and was reaffirmed by stakeholders and approved by the Teacher Education Council in September 2007. The goals of the Educator Preparation Assessment System are to: support data-informed decision making throughout all aspects of the educator preparation enterprise, including monitoring candidate performance, managing and improving operations and programs, and acquiring and allocating resources; support scholarship, teaching, and service endeavors; support external relations efforts; support development efforts; and support the generation and archiving of documents, reports, and statistics. The Educator Preparation Assessment System is based on the following: the needs of candidates, faculty, staff, and administrators; the conceptual framework for educator preparation; accreditation standards, specialized professional association (SPA) guidelines, and State of Texas educator proficiencies and content knowledge; and strategic and program goals. The Educator Preparation Assessment System focuses on the assessment of College of Education’s strategic goals, which are derived from Texas Tech University goals and aligned with the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) standards and state specified competencies. The data generated by the Educator Preparation Assessment System are organized and archived in repositories, and is supported by an assessment calendar, which organizes a schedule of assessment activities.

Graduate Students An Overview of students in the Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership Students follow basic guidelines regarding the courses allowed for their program. The guidelines are provided by the Graduate School and department through advisors, degree plans, graduate student handbooks, and online directions. Degree plans are flexible and for course options both inside and outside the department. The number of outside courses vary with the program, but students are encouraged to include them as part of their program. Because the college often functions as a whole, rather than as two departments, it is very common for students to take courses from both departments. Students are also encouraged to take courses outside the college, but again this varies by program. The number of hours for master’s programs is generally 36 hours without a thesis, or 30 hours with a thesis. However, the master’s program in Counselor Education does exceed 36 hours to meet accreditation standards. The approximate timeframe for program completion varies, and is greatly a function of many graduate students working full-time in professional educator capacities. Students are encouraged to complete programs as efficiently as possible. The department does provide a variety of non-traditional schedules, including extensive summer, evening, weekend, and distance programs to accommodate students’ needs. A variety of procedures exist to periodically review graduate course offerings and course content, and to review the teaching performance in those courses. Students complete course and instructor evaluations twice a year, double the university requirement. These evaluations become part of the annual faculty review discussions between the department chairperson and faculty members. Also, program faculty meet on regular basis and review student learning outcome data from program assessment plans, and faculty members also participate in the annual Strategic Planning Assessment Report process. The department and college are attempting to generate greater funding for graduate assistantships. Unfortunately, they are still fairly limited so that most graduate students are admitted into programs without having an assistantship. Relatively few master’s degree candidates select to complete a thesis. Therefore, few are published. However, many doctoral students do publish articles from their dissertations, often in conjunction with their major professor. The COE also budgets up to $10,000 per semester to support graduate students traveling to conferences to present papers. For example, in fall 2009, 35 doctoral and master’s students received from $150 to $500 stipends to present at conferences. Educational Psychology and Leadership 37 A.

Programs for mentoring and professional preparation of graduate students The Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership develops students to assume important positions in the field of education, such as teaching and conducting research in universities and colleges, principals and superintendents in K-12 settings, higher education personnel, school and community counselors, instructional technology specialists, and special education experts. To prepare students for their future professions, the department provides a variety of activities such as the following, where students apply theory with practice. 1. Apprenticeship with Faculty: Each graduate student is assigned an advisor who guides him or her through the program. Many students build a strong collegial relationship with their advisor. As indicated in Section J, co-authorship of publications and presentations by faculty and students is a common practice in the department and has increased dramatically during the recent years. 2. Internships of Professional Activities: Every EP&L program has established internships for its students to engage in professionally related activities under the supervision of qualified professionals. Students gain teaching experience by serving as instructors in undergraduate courses while under the supervision of experienced faculty members. For programs having no undergraduate courses, teaching experience is gained through team-teaching of graduate courses with of a faculty member. 3. Interdisciplinary Research Teams: To promote the collaboration of interdisciplinary research, the College of Education encourages faculty and graduate students to develop research teams whereby faculty nurture graduate students in developing research skills. For example, a research team consisting of faculty and students from various programs is working on issues related to building virtual community of learners. Another research team composed by faculty and students from the two departments of the college is working on an international research project on science education. Centers led by faculty play an important role in organizing the research team. The goal of the department is to have every full-time student working in at least one research team. 4. Involvement in Grant-related Activities: With increased emphasis on grant procuring in higher education, the department deems grant-related skills as essential for a successful faculty member. Therefore, faculty members, often through research teams, mentor students on grant writing, allowing them to gain firsthand experience with conceptualizing the project, planning budgets, collaborating with others, and if funded, carrying out the project and the many other tasks of colleagues working together on grants. 5. Disseminating Knowledge to Professional Community: The College encourages graduate students to attend professional conferences, allowing the dissemination of their scholarship to the professional community. As noted in Section G, the college budgets $10,000 per semester to support graduate students traveling to conferences to present papers. Educational Psychology and Leadership 74 L. Department efforts to retain students and increase graduation rates. The Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership offers seven Doctoral, six Master’s, and multiple certification programs. Annually, the department enrolls approximately 450 graduate students, including both full-time and part-time students, most of who work full-time in a K-12 educational setting. To retain students and to improve graduation rates, the department uses the following strategies. 1. Developing Distance Education: The College of Education, including the Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership, has been a pioneer in distance education in the university. The department has two online Masters’ programs, one in Special Education and another in Instructional Technology, and an online Ed.D. in Higher Education. Every program in the department has developed some online courses as a component of the degree. The Educational Psychology program has developed online versions of all core courses and research tool courses, which are used extensively by other programs throughout the college. 2. Adopting Flexible Scheduling: Because many students are part-time or reside a considerable distance from campus, they require coursework outside the traditional on campus schedule. Therefore, a majority of graduate coursework is delivered in a nontraditional matter, such as the following: a. in the late afternoon or evening; b. on campus or off-campus; c. on line in an asynchronous timeframe; d. an extensive summer program; e. via interactive videoconferencing (IVC); or f. as a blend of face-to-face with IVC and web-based instruction. 3. Providing Research and Teaching Assistantships: The College of Education provides assistantships to approximately 45 students. Faculty members who secure external funding hire additional research assistants. The students thus employed are benefited not only financially but also academically due to the experience of working with faculty members in research and teaching activities. 4. Assessing Student Progress: Faculty members are responsible for an annual evaluation of advisees in respect to progress toward the completion of the degree. Students who are evaluated as making “unsatisfactory progress” are encouraged to work with their advisors to make adjustments. 5. Encouraging Engagement in the Profession: Graduate students are encouraged and sponsored to attend regional and national conferences if their scholarly work is accepted for presentation. Educational Psychology and Leadership 75 6. Creating Professional Development Opportunities and Social Connections: The College of Education organizes lecture series where nationally or internationally known scholars speak to faculty and graduate students on their expertise (diversity, research, grant-writing, etc.). The graduate student organization, Education Graduate Students Association (EGSA), plays an important role in organizing the events and programs, for which it received multiple awards in 2009-10. M.

However, these are the ones that Dean Ruch and Assistant Dean Knapp of the College of Education seemed to be more meaningful to the College. Because of the change of accounting systems, and a change in personnel in charge of accounting, 07/08 and earlier data are not available. 2 Graduate School Travel Money Records do not record by department before 06/07. Also, several students who traveled in 06/07 and 07/08 cannot at this time be connected to a department. 1 Educational Psychology and Leadership 81 E. Scholarships and endowments As noted in the following tables, there are a number of graduate assistantships, fellowships and scholarships available to graduate students in the department. Furthermore, a variety of loans, grants, and scholarships are available through the university’s Office of Student Financial Aid.

The building contains 18 classrooms, with student capacity varying from 14 to 45. Eight of the classrooms are multimedia classrooms, projectors mounted to the ceiling and operational screens for multimedia presentations. Before the multimedia presentation function is available, multimedia carts, each assembled with a desktop computer, a DVD/VHS player, and a projector, are ready for faculty members to do multimedia presentations. There are five Smart Rooms, two SmartBoard classrooms and one PC computer lab with SmartBoard. For events with big gatherings, a lecture hall in the basement with seating for 70 and equipment for multimedia presentation is available. This room may also be rearranged to serve for meal functions. Three iTV (Interactive Videoconferencing) classrooms in the building serve the college in delivering distance education courses to satellite campuses. The classrooms utilize interactive live two-way synchronous video, delivered over network connections, and managed by a centralized campus Video Services group. Many of our courses are recorded directly via digital archiving to a streaming web server that candidates can view in real time or later at their own Educational Psychology and Leadership 83 leisure from any internet connected computer, laptop, or handheld PDA, via wireless or wired internet connections. Classes can also be recorded to VHS, DVD, or MediaSite. The building contains 131 offices for administrators, faculty members, and instructors. Each room is approximately 150 square-feet, except offices for the college administrators that are somewhat bigger. Two large rooms are designated as Graduate Assistant Offices, each with about 20 computer and study work stations. The facility has three computer labs as follows: Two computer labs with 24 computers each; and Audio-Visual Lab with 6 computers. Three conference rooms in the building are designed to hold academic and social events in the college, such as proposal meetings, dissertation defense meetings, and meetings of committees. Six observation rooms are available for faculty members in the Counselor Education program to conduct counseling sessions with clients or to observe their candidates working with clients. One-way window, video cameras, and two-way audio are installed so that the observations won’t interrupt the on-going counseling processes. The college also has adequate facilities at P-12 school sites to support field experiences and clinical placements. Most initial teacher program (ITP) candidates are placed within Lubbock ISD, or two contiguous districts, Lubbock Cooper ISD and Frenship ISD. Some are also located in out-of-town districts, mostly within a 30 mile radius. The nature of ITP and advanced program internships is such that those candidates are often placed at sites at a considerable distance from campus, often across the state. The College of Education provides every full-time faculty and staff member a computer and software, with many also having a printer as part of the work station. Network printers are available for individuals without personal ones. G.

External Program Accreditation Accreditation is a process by which College of Education programs are regularly reviewed and evaluated. The process includes a self-study based on accreditation standards, independent judgment by peers during an on-site review, and judgment by the accreditation body. Such reviews focus on educational quality, institutional integrity, and educational improvements. High quality educator preparation programs are attested to by of programs by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Texas Tech University has maintained continuous NCATE Accreditation since 1963, with the latest review occurring fall 2006, and the next one scheduled for fall 2013. NCATE accreditation applies to any program in the department that is directly or indirectly involved with educator preparation for the K-12 schools. Therefore this applies to all programs in EP&L with the exception of Higher Education. As part of the NCATE review, education programs must submit reports to Specialized Professional Associations including the following: Subject Specific-Organizations American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) American Association for Health Education (AAHE) National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) International Reading Association (IRA) National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Child-Centered Organizations Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) National Middle School Association (NMSA) Technology Organizations International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Administrator Organizations Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC) NCATE accreditation is based on six standards as follows: Standard 1: Candidate Knowledge, Skills, and Dispositions; Standard 2: Assessment System and Unit Evaluation; Standard 3: Field Experiences and Clinical Practice; Standard 4: Diversity; Standard 5: Faculty Qualifications, Performance, and Development; and Standard 6: Unit Governance and Resources. Educational Psychology and Leadership 85 It should be noted that the Board of Examiners Review Team was particularly impressed with the College’s assessment system (Standard 2) and commended the following strengths: The Education Unit is considered a leader and innovator in the university in respect to assessment activities. The Education Unit is addressing issues of diversity through a variety of assessment activities, including the development of assessment instruments. The Teacher Education Council exemplifies the kind of collaboration and cooperation that should exit on a university campus where educators are prepared in multiple colleges. Three graduate degree programs in counselor education are accredited through 2014 by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), which is a specialized accreditation for counseling programs. The next self-study review will be done no later than Fall 2013 to maintain continuous accreditation. The Texas Tech University programs include the master’s level programs in community counseling and school counseling and the doctoral level counselor education and supervision program. CACREP accreditation requires that programs: (1) have clearly defined and appropriate objectives; (2) meet national standards set by counseling professionals; (3) provide training relevant to contemporary counseling practice; and (4) promote, teach, and be accountable for the profession’s ethical standards. CACREP standards (2009) include the following areas: the learning environment, professional identity, and professional practice. CACREP standards require all programs to cover eight knowledge areas: professional orientation and ethical practice, social and cultural diversity, human growth and development, career development, helping relationships, group work, assessment, and research and program evaluation. The Association for the Education and Rehabilitation for Blind and Visually Impaired (AER) has accredited the department’s orientation and mobility program. The next review will be in 2011. Competencies, under the following categories of standards, are reviewed for AER accreditation: Medical Aspects of Blindness and Visual Impairment Sensory Motor Functioning Psych-social Aspects of Blindness and Visual Impairments Human Growth and Development over the Lifespan Concept Development Multiple Disabilities Systems of Orientation and Mobility Orientation and Mobility Skills and Techniques Instructional Methods, Strategies, and Assessment History and Philosophy of Orientation and Mobility Professional Information Development, Administration, and Supervision of O&M Program Clinical Practice Competencies Several other graduate special education certification programs are accredited through the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) in conjunction with the Council of Exceptional Children (CEC). These include, Teacher of Visually Impaired, Teacher of Visually Impaired, Educational Diagnostician, and Teacher of Deafblind. Educational Psychology and Leadership 86 VI. Conclusion The Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership’s strategic plan is aligned with the strategic priorities of both the University and the College of Education. The five priorities of the departmental strategic plan are (1) increasing enrollment, (2) strengthening academic quality and reputation, (3) expanding and enhancing research (4) conducting outreach and partnerships with local school districts and communities, and (5) maximizing effectiveness of resources. These priorities are now used to organize the concluding remarks for the department’s graduate program review. 1. Increasing Enrollment: Six programs in the Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership (EP&L) are either implementing or developing plans to increase enrollment. The Special Education and Instructional Technology programs are developing proposals for PhD degrees to compliment the current EdD ones. Higher Education is recruiting a first cohort of doctoral students for a newly approved distance-delivered EdD program. Educational Psychology started the first cohort of doctoral students in a new emphasis of School Psychology. Educational Leadership now has had five cohorts of doctoral students recruited from Hill Country and other off campus sites, and is planning to deliver the doctoral program to students at Angelo State University. Counselor Education is developing a proposal to collaborate with the West Texas A&M University to transition master’s students from WTUA&M into the PhD program at Texas Tech. To sustain the momentum of increasing enrollment, the department is increasing coordination and collaboration with other units. For example, coordination is increasing with Angelo State University, a sister institution within the Texas Tech System. The department is also working closely with the University College to maximize the impact of distance delivered programs. Logistically, the department is focusing on improving its recruitment processes and streamlining the online application process. A recently hired staff member for recruitment will be helpful in this process. The Department and College are leaders on campus in offering courses to meet the needs of part-time students. Increasingly more and more EP&L courses are available online, late afternoon or evening, or during the summer. 2. Strengthening Academic Quality and Reputation: EP&L faculty are delivering quality instruction as indicated by end-of-semester student evaluations of course and instructor. Such evaluations are consistently the highest ranked or second highest ranked in the university. In addition, the department is instituting a peer-review process to supplement student evaluations. To COE’s Office of Accreditation and Assessment is available to assist the department in assessing the attainment of EP&L’s strategic goals. TracDat, a commercial software solution, has been extremely helpful in organizing and tracking student learning outcomes as part of Program Assessment Plans. The implementation of such assessment procedures will further enhance the quality of programs, by providing data that indicate strengths and weaknesses, and using the data to make improvements. Such data are also useful for accreditation reviews for NCATE, CACREP, and SACS. The ultimate success of programs within EP&L is demonstrated by their ability to meet state and national accreditation standards. The department is conducting evaluation of graduate students’ progress toward completion of the academic programs annually as required by the Graduate School. However, the evaluation tends to be brief and lacking of specific strategies and consequences for those who do not make Educational Psychology and Leadership 87 satisfactory progress. The department chairs are working with the Associate Dean of Graduate Education and Research to create an evaluation system that regularly monitors students’ progress in their academic pursuit. 3. Expanding and Enhancing Research: Faculty member’s scholarly productivity has increased significantly in recent years, especially in terms of publishing in refereed journals and procuring grants. Such productivity is well aligned with the University’s goal to attain Tier 1 status, with increased emphasis on funded research. The College has initiated research teams and centers that will integrate faculty’s expertise and involve graduate students in interdisciplinary research projects. Two current centers, a newly established Institute for Leadership and School Improvement, and a proposed Community College Institute, will play an important role to produce knowledge and procure researcher funding. The Burkhart Center for Autism Education and Research provides services for individuals with autism spectrum disorders, their families, and the professionals who work with them to improve their quality of life. The Center also focuses on research to better understand a range of autism issues. The Virginia Murray Sowell Center for Research and Education in Visual Impairment is designed to focus on education and research focused on visual impairment. Faculty members benefit from logistic assistance provided by the College supporting their scholarly productivity. For example, the College’s budget system has been reorganized so that, in part, funds may be better targeted to support grants activities. A grants administrator has been hired thus allowing faculty members to better focus on the research side of grant work. The College is hiring a statistician who will help faculty and graduate students conduct advanced statistical analysis. 4. Conducting Outreach and Partnerships: Although most outreach activities are planned and conducted at the college level, department faculty members are willing to participate whenever possible. Most EP&L programs have advisory committees/boards that connect the programs to the profession and the local community. For the first time, the Educational Leadership program faculty participated in a professional development seminar organized by a local school district, and the Counselor Education program held a workshop for counselors from Lubbock and vicinity. Faculty member’s effort to interact with local educators has been greatly appreciated and will continue in the future. 5. Maximizing Efficiency of Resources: Personnel and finance resources are centralized at the college level within the COE. With the implementation of Responsibility Center Management (RCM), the College will obtain data that can be used to guide the distribution and allocation of the resources to reinforce productive faculty members and programs so that the limited resources will be used strategically to achieve high priority goals.
