Description (or Proposed Degree Requirements)
As legislatures, both state and federal, continue to require more and more assessment of learning, it is critical that
practicing teachers and teacher leaders learn how to use assessment as a tool to improve instruction rather than a
number to put on a report card. Item analysis test design, purpose of tests and test interpretation will be examined.
How to design assessment strategies that address quality of learning while assuring that students learning will be
reflected in traditional tests will be explored
III.
Justification
Testing, an integral part of all school systems, is used for a multitude of reasons. In an effort to improve our
educational systems, testing has become a focus of teachers’ lives rather than a source of support to improve
teaching. It is not uncommon to hear teachers express concern about “preparing for THE test—what ever THE test is.
The purpose of this class is to help educational professionals understand, use and value THE test, whether it be
authentic assessment, criterion referenced testing, or standardized testing. Helping educational leaders see the
connections between all types of testing and using this understanding to improve teaching will enhance not only
students’ learning but also the climate in classroom when THE test is administered. Fear and threats do assure long
term improvements in education. Only with complete understanding and the ability to incorporate this new found
knowledge into the teaching process will testing become a positive part of teaching.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK SUMMARY
Collaborative development of expertise in teaching and learning
The Professional Teacher Education Unit (PTEU) at Kennesaw State University is committed to developing
expertise among candidates in initial and advanced programs as teachers and leaders who possess the
capability, intent and expertise to facilitate high levels of learning in all of their students through effective,
research-based practices in classroom instruction, and who enhance the structures that support all
learning. To that end, the PTEU fosters the development of candidates as they progress through stages of
growth from novice to proficient to expert and leader. Within the PTEU conceptual framework, expertise is
viewed as a process of continued development, not an end-state. To be effective, teachers and educational
leaders must embrace the notion that teaching and learning are entwined and that only through the
implementation of validated practices can all students construct meaning and reach high levels of learning.
In that way, candidates at the doctoral level develop into leaders for learning and facilitators of the
teaching and learning process. Finally, the PTEU recognizes, values and demonstrates collaborative
practices across the college and university and extends collaboration to the community-at-large. Through
this collaboration with professionals in the university, the public and private schools, parents and other
professional partners, the PTEU meets the ultimate goal of assisting Georgia schools in bringing all
students to high levels of learning.
Knowledge Base
Teacher development is generally recognized as a continuum that includes four phases: preservice, induction, in-service,
renewal (Odell, Huling, and Sweeny, 2000). Just as Sternberg (1996) believes that the concept of expertise is central to
analyzing the teaching-learning process, the teacher education faculty at KSU believe that the concept of expertise is central to
preparing effective classroom teachers and teacher leaders. Researchers describe how during the continuum phases teachers
progress from being Novices learning to survive in classrooms toward becoming Experts who have achieved elegance in their
teaching. We, like Sternberg (1998), believe that expertise is not an end-state but a process of continued development.
Use of Technology : Technology Standards for Educators are required by the Professional Standards Commission.
Telecommunication and information technologies will be integrated throughout the master teacher preparation program, and all
candidates must be able to use technology to improve student learning and meet Georgia Technology Standards for Educators.
During the courses, candidates will be provided with opportunities to explore and use instructional media. They will master use
of productivity tools, such as multimedia facilities, local-net and Internet, and feel confident to design multimedia instructional
materials, and create WWW resources.
VII.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: The Professional Teacher Education Unit prepares learning facilitators who understand
their disciplines and principles of pedagogy, who reflect on their practice, and who apply these understandings to
making instructional decisions that foster the success of all learners. As a result of the satisfactory fulfillment of the
requirements of these courses, the candidate will demonstrate the following outcomes:
Upon completion of the course, the candidates will be able to:

Assignments are due on date assigned. All written assignments must be typed in 12 point font with standard margins. Work that is unedited or presented with
little thought or planning will not be accepted.
Note: All written work should reflect careful organization of material and the high standards of investigation associated with college-level studies. Papers should
be typewritten, on 8 1/2 x 11 in. paper. All work submitted should follow APA format. Manuscripts must be proof-read to ensure accuracy in spelling,
punctuation, and grammar. Written work should be attractive and neat -- ESPECIALLY WITH MATERIALS INTENDED FOR STUDENT USE
IX. Policies
Diversity: A variety of materials and instructional strategies will be employed to meet the needs of the
different learning styles of diverse learners in class. Candidates will gain knowledge as well as an
understanding of differentiated strategies and curricula for providing effective instruction and assessment
within multicultural classrooms. One element of course work is raising candidate awareness of critical
multicultural issues. A second element is to cause candidates to explore how multiple attributes of
multicultural populations influence decisions in employing specific methods and materials for every
student. Among these attributes are age, disability, ethnicity, family structure, gender, geographic
region, giftedness, language, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. An
emphasis on cognitive style differences provides a background for the consideration of cultural context.
Kennesaw State University provides program accessibility and accommodations for persons defined as disabled under Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. A number of services are available to
support students with disabilities within their academic program. In order to make arrangements for special services, students
must visit the Office of Disabled Student Support Services (ext. 6443) and develop an individual assistance plan. In some cases,
certification of disability is required.
Page 10 of 12
Please be aware there are other support/mentor groups on the campus of Kennesaw State University that
address each of the multicultural variables outlined above.
Professionalism- Academic Honesty: KSU expects that graduate students will pursue their academic
programs in an ethical, professional manner. Faculty of the EdS and EdD programs abide by the policies
and guidelines established by the university in their expectations for candidates’ work. Candidates are
responsible for knowing and adhering to the guidelines of academic honesty as stated in the graduate
catalog. Any candidate who is found to have violated these guidelines will be subject to disciplinary action
consistent with university policy. For example, plagiarism or other violations of the University’s Academic
Honesty policies could result in a grade of “F” in the course and a formal hearing before the Judiciary
Committee.
Professionalism- Participation and Attendance: Part of your success in this class is related to your ability to provide peer
reviews and feedback to your editing groups regarding their research and their writing. Furthermore, responding effectively and
appropriately to feedback from your peers and the professor is another measure of one’s professionalism. In addition, since
each class meeting represents a week of instruction/learning, failure to attend class will likely impact your performance on
assignments and final exams. Please be prepared with all readings completed prior to class. We depend on one another to ask
pertinent and insightful questions.
