summarize the outcomes
assessed in your program or
discipline during the last
year.
Outcome # I as written in fall
and spring 2014-15 in
Rubalcava's syllabus:
Students will be able to
demonstrate the ability to
read, listen, interpret, and
communicate through
appropriate spoken or
written forms about best
practices regarding the
education of exceptional
children.
Measure 1: Students will
read a set of chapter
questions and explain their
understanding of current
theories and best practices
using a journal notebook.
Journal will be graded using
a rubric.
Assessment Measures
Assessment Results
Use of Results
In the boxes below,
summarize the methods
used to assess program,
discipline, or course
outcomes during the last
year.
In the boxes below, summarize the
results of your assessment
activities during the last year.
In the boxes below,
summarize how you are or
how you plan to use the
results to improve student
learning.
Pre- and post-test
administered on first and
last weeks of 3 class
sections in fall and
spring 2014-2015.
Student pre-tests in 3 sections
displayed generalizations about
best practices with anecdotes.
While almost all student pre-tests
described one-on-one teaching and
aides, almost none described
precise modalities and
technologies. In contrast, 3/4111 of
the post-tests described best
practices using universal design
and multiple intelligences,
including technology adaptations.
For example, post-tests described
the use of sign language, cognitive
behavioral therapy techniques,
scaffolding repetition with choral
response, seating alternatives,
,cooperative learning,, and
alternative technological platforms.
For 20 I 5-2 l06, I will
attempt to improve student
success with outcome #I
by requiring students to
journal and share at least
five additional best
practices observed during
the on-site field experience
visit. Thus in addition to
the best practices learned
from lecture and reading,
students will record what
they hear and interpret
during the scheduled visit.
As it stands, student visit
notes were optional and
this work requirement will
broaden the breadth of
understanding best
practices in a way that
allows students to
communicate learning in
their own words.
Effect on Program, Discipline or
Course
Based on the results of this
assessment, will you revise your
outcomes? If so, please summarize
how and why in the boxes below.
In 2016-2016, I will measure
outcome #2 written in Rubalcava's
syllabus:
Students will demonstrate the
ability to understand and tolerate
different viewpoints and behaviors
regarding the education of
exceptional children.
Improvements in outcome #I
through journaling and sharing best
practices observed during the field
experience visit should enhance
outcome #2, which is the next level
of learning. The broadened list of
best practices will allow students
to better understand and tolerate
different viewpoints and behaviors
regarding the education of
exceptional children.
I will administer a pre-and posttest about these different
viewpoints and behaviors.
