Previous Cycle's "Plan for Continuous Improvement"
|
|
Efforts this year will be focused on development of an online orientation module to help provide both students and faculty (particularly part time faculty) with the resources needed to be successful in the instructional leadership program. The program is online, so this platform will provide a more appropriate experience for increasing student and faculty familiarity with program requirements and expectations. Evaluation of the current assessments required in the program will also take place. These key assessments should reflect the outcomes of what students know and are able to do upon completion of the program.
|
|
Update on Previous Cycle's "Plan for Continuous Improvement"
|
|
Online Orientation has helped with the Online Platform of Learning.
Current assessments were reviewed. However, the Comprehensive Exam needs to be analyzed for alignment to to the ELCC Standards and curricula.
|
|
Plan for Continuous Improvement
|
|
Program faculty will review and analyze the Comprehensive Exam questions to verify alignment to the ELCC Standards and curricula and develop program specific questions that are aligned with the ELCC Standards and curricula. The IL Faculty will develop a study guide for the comprehensive exam for students and faculty.
