Assessment #5:
Collaborative Lesson from EDSL690: Clinical Experience
(Assessment of candidate effect on student learning)
Description of Assessment and Use in Program
Assessment #5 is the collaborative lesson, required in EDSL690, Clinical Experience in
Library Media Services and in EDSL689, Supervised Experience in Library Media Services.
(Although EDSL689 is required in our initial licensure track, this track was offered for the first
time in the 2007-2008 academic year; therefore, no candidates have reached the point in the
program to take this course at this time.) With this collaborative lesson completed during their
clinical experience hours in a school library setting, candidates are required to collaboratively
plan, teach, and evaluate a lesson which integrates information literacy into the content
curriculum and positively impacts student learning. This assessment demonstrates that
candidates are able to effectively apply their knowledge, skills, and dispositions in school library
settings to create a supportive environment for student learning. A supervising faculty member
observes the candidate teaching the collaborative lesson.
How Assessment Aligns with Standards Cited
The collaborative lesson addresses 1.1 as candidates model a variety of effective
strategies to locate, evaluate, and use information in a variety of formats for diverse purposes;
1.3 as candidates plan strategically to ensure intellectual access to information for the entire
school community; 1.4 as candidates demonstrate ways to establish and maintain a positive
educational climate in the library and demonstrate collaborative techniques; 2.1 as candidates
design library media instruction that assesses learner needs, instructional methodologies, and
information processes, support the learning of all students including those with diverse learning
styles, abilities, and needs, and ensure that the library curriculum is documented as significant to
the overall academic success of all students; 2.2 as candidates work with classroom teachers to
co-plan, co-teach, and co-evaluate information skills instruction and document and communicate
the impact of collaborative instruction on student achievement; 2.3 as candidates incorporate
technology to promote the use of both print and nonprint resources and work to ensure that
responsibility for an integrated information literacy curriculum is shared across the curriculum;
3.2 as candidates share expertise in the design of instruction and assessment with colleagues; and
3.3 as candidates develop a library program that reflects best practices.
Analysis of Data Findings
This assessment was first implemented during summer 2008.
For summer 2008, 23 candidates enrolled in EDSL690, Clinical Experience in Library
Media Services, completed the collaborative lesson assignment. All candidates earned an overall
acceptable or target score on the assignment, and all candidates scored at the acceptable or target
levels on all rubric items. There were no unacceptable scores.
For the 2008-2009 academic year, 20 candidates enrolled in EDSL690 completed the
collaborative lesson assignment. One candidate scored unacceptable in identifying AASL
standards to be included in the lesson. All other candidates earned either acceptable or target
scores on all rubric items.
In summer 2009, eight candidates enrolled in EDSL690, Clinical Experience in Library
Media Services, completed the collaborative lesson assignment. All candidates earned an overall

Assessment #5
acceptable or target score on the assignment, and all candidates scored at the acceptable or target
levels on all rubric items. There were no unacceptable scores.
In fall 2009, 17 candidates enrolled in EDSL690, Clinical Experience in Library Media
Services, completed the collaborative lesson assignment. All candidates earned an overall
acceptable or target score on the assignment, and all candidates scored at the acceptable or target
levels on all rubric items. There were no unacceptable scores.
How Data Provides Evidence for Meeting Standards
Examination of data by standards addressed on this assessment demonstrates that all
candidates performed at the acceptable or target levels for mastery of standards 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 2.1,
2.2, 2.3, 3.2, and 3.3.
