Clinical   Experiences   Data
The   EALR   faculty   cooperatively   agreed   on   the   courses   where   program   candidates’   leadership   dispositions   are   evaluated.
They   are:    EDAD   588,   EDAD   682,   EDAD   683,   EDAD   690,   and   EDAD
677.
The   required   clinical   experiences   in   these   courses   address   each   of   the   ISLLC   leadership   standards.
For   example,   in   one   experience   (EDAD   683)   students   must   lead   appropriate   faculty   in   their   school   through   the   process   of   aligning   curriculum   in   an   identified   content   area   to   state   standards.
In   another   example,   students   in   EDAD   682   must   gather   demographic   data   on   their   school   and   school   community   through   interviews,   discussions,   Internet   searches,   community   agencies,   etc.
The   data   is   analyzed   and   a   school ‐ community   public   relations   plan   is   developed,   which   includes   the   implementation   and   evaluation   processes.
In   another   example,   students   in
EDAD   690   must   log   20   hours   of   observations   of:   principals   on   the   elementary   school   level   (5   hours),   middle   school   level   (5   hours),   high   school   level   (5   hours),   and   district   superintendent   (5   hours).
As   a   final   example,   students   must   conduct   a   school   culture   assessment,   analyze   the   data,   and   make   recommendations   for   improvement.
Included   in   this   assignment   are   diversity
interviews   for   adults   and   students   linked   with   appropriate   ISLLC   standards.

All   candidates   successfully   completed   the   clinical   experiences   described   above   in   2010 ‐ 2011.
Candidates   not   working   up   to   expectations   were   mentored   by   course   instructors   and   required
to   resubmit   work   until   expectations   were   met.
Table   5   reports   how   leadership   program   candidates   performed   on   dispositions   as   they   entered   and   progressed   through   their   program.
Students   are   considered   “proficient”   who   average   3   or
higher   on   each   disposition   category.

The   faculty   cooperatively   reviewed   and   agreed   on   the   courses   where   required   clinical   experiences   addressing   each   of   the   ISLLC   leadership   standards   should   occur.
Over   this   academic   year,   EALR   candidates   reported   demographic   information   on   field   placements   by   district   and/or   grade   levels,   urban,   suburban   rural,   Title   1,   type   of   schedule   structure,   state   assistance   level,   and   by   percentages   in   the   categories   of   ethnicity,   disability,   and   free/reduced   lunch.
Table   6
reveals   the   percentages   of   field   experiences   with   various   characteristics.
Note   that   candidates   could   choose   all   the   characteristics   that   applied   for   any   given   experience.
Characteristics   indicated   with   an   asterisk   reflect   those   reported   by   the   National   Center   for   Education   Statistics   and   the   Kentucky   Department   of   Education   for   the   districts   where   field   work   occurred.

Culminating   Assessment   Data

Across   programs   in   the   Department   of   Educational   Administration,   Leadership,   and   Research,   program/candidates   are   assessed   on   ISLLC   standards,   state   administrative   standards,   and   on   department   developed   objectives.
Some   assessments   are   conducted   through   class   assignments
and   class   exams,   and   other   assessments   are   completed   on   a   capstone   project.
Candidates   also   compile   an   electronic   portfolio   of   responses   to   critical   performance   questions/tasks,   which   addresses   each   state   administrative   standard.
These   responses   to   the   critical   performance   questions/tasks   are   collected   at   specific   points   (assignments   within   courses).
e.
Exit   and   Follow   Up   Data
Specific   faculty   developed   objectives   address   each   program   within   the   department.
Candidates
in   the   last   course   of   their   program   are   asked   to   complete   a   survey   containing   two   objectives   addressing   content   and   one   addressing   program   satisfaction.
Director   of   Pupil   Personnel
Candidates   enrolled   in   EDAD   583,   Accounting   for   Pupil   Personnel,   which   is   the   essential   course   for   the   DPP   program   were   asked   to   complete   an   online   electronic   satisfaction   survey;   few   students   returned   the   satisfaction   survey.
However,   the   ones   returned   expressed   satisfaction   with   the   preparation.

Efforts   to   Report   and   Disseminate   Results
The   Educational   Administration,   Leadership,   and   Research   Department   Head   shares   the   results   of   the   Kentucky   Principal   Test   (KYPT)   and   School   Leaders   Licensure   Assessment   (SLLA)   with   faculty   via   email   and   during   faculty   meetings   as   they   become   available   and   encourages   open   discussions.
Also,   the   results   of   these   examinations   and   related   discussions   are   taken   into
consideration   when   the   department’s   annual   Action   Plan   (Planning   Report)   is   developed,   in   which   the   objectives   are   specified   and   the   strategies   to   be   used   to   achieve   them   are   decided
upon.
