1. Call to Order
2. Announcements: there were none
3. Approval of Minutes from last meeting: the minutes were approved as presented
4. MoSPE process update:---PRC members were asked to present to the chair by
Wednesday, February 13, 2013 a report of the percentage transition to MoSPE for each
program for which they serve as a liaison from PRC. The chair will aggregate these data
and for a progress report to the PEC in February.
Dr. Chris Craig volunteered to consult with the Student Teaching handbook committee
during the annual revision process to assure that document is transitioned from
addressing MoSTEP to MoSPE standards.
Websites that include references to MoSTEP standards must be updated over time. No
plan was offered to undertake website transition.
A plan for transitioning the efolio from MoSTEP to MoSPE was summarized and
supported by PRC. This plan will be presented to PEC in February. In brief, MoSPE
will go live on efolio on June 1 based on work by COE technology staff during the spring
2013 semester. In Fall 2013, all programs are expected to shift to MoSPE in efolio.
MoSTEP and MoSPE will both be an option in efolio until August 2014 to accommodate,
at the discretion of the program, students nearing the end of their program e.g. checkpoint
3 prior to Aug. 2014.
STEPS will not be transitioned to MoSPE at this time.
In materials addressing wider audiences, such as efolio, STEPS, student teaching
handbook, secondary and graduate core courses and assessments, MoSPE should be
coded using a 1 digit number signifying the standards (rather than a 2 digit number
indicating standards and performance indicators.).
5. Accreditation Director job description should remain on the front burner in PEU/PEC,
COE and other colleges. PRC members should take every opportunity to participate in
those discussions focused on filling this role in college meetings, PEC, and relevant PEC
committees meetings.
6. Data Distribution system that is being developed through PEU/PEC will provide
programs with program-specific data for the PEU Data Day, April, 15, 2013. Programs
are expected to review these data and use them to plan and carry out appropriate program
changes. These data and subsequent program changes should appear in internal program
reports submitted to PRC on a three-year rotation. These data for Spring 2013 should
include but not be limited to:






Program data summaries provided to the head of the unit at the DESE unit review
in November, 2012.
C-BASE data
PRAXIS II data
Enrollment data
Diversity data
Disposition data
7. Program Reviewer Process was further clarified in terms of the intent, outcomes and
location of archive of results. Based on questions by the pilot program review writer, it
was determined that COE programs that include wide-ranging content across several core
curriculum areas (ECE, ELE, SPE, MS, etc.) should address MOSPE and their SPA
standards in the report rather than MoSPE and content standards. Secondary and K-12
programs should address MoSPE and DESE content standards in their Program Review.
Programs should include three “applications” of data for each data set in their program
report e.g. 1 ½ years of data generated and aggregated each semester or 3 years of data
generated and aggregated once a year.
The program review cycle for each program will conclude with the PRC presenting
recommendations to the program based in its review of the program review report. There
will not be an “approval” process. The final report of program recommendations by the
PRC will be archived in the PEC office.
The ECE program review report is progressing and will be forwarded to the PRC chair by
early March. PRC will review the report at the March 20 meeting.
PRC will complete and evaluate the first trial of the internal program review process
before generating the three-year rotation of PEU program for review.
