1e.2.   What data from other key assessments indicate that other school professionals demonstrate the knowledge and skills delineated in professional, state, and institutional standards?

Candidates in programs for other school professionals learn about and apply institutional, state and national standards, integrate theory, practice, and research, evaluate the needs of diverse and urban populations, collect and analyze data related to their professional work, reflect on their practice, and use technology as a professional tool. Course syllabi document that professional knowledge and skills are included in these courses. Candidates use case studies, professional work samples, portfolios, notebooks, and journals to collect and analyze data and reflect on their practice. Course assignments routinely require critical analysis of the extant knowledge base in the field of study through literature reviews and short-term research projects, as can be noted in course syllabi. The table titled Relationship Between Student Learning Outcomes, Signature Assignments, and Knowledge & Skills for Other School Professionals by Program displays the signature assignments for each program learning outcome mapped to knowledge and skills for candidates in programs for other school professionals.

The table titled Program-level Summary Table by NCATE Standard 1 Elements (AY 08-09): Programs for Other School Professionals shows aggregated candidate performance data aligned with Standard 1 Elements for programs for other school professionals. Each of the programs for other school professionals has one or more Student Learning Outcomes that address "knowledge and skills for other school professionals." Each SLO is assessed by one or more signature assignments. For the AY 08-09 period, the average score across all programs in the unit was 3.58 on a 4-point scale. None of the programs for other school professionals had a mean score below 3.28, thus the Assessment Committee saw no cause for concern for any program and recommended no action.
