Resident II Student Teaching ED 455 Assessment

InTASC Standards: 1- Learner Development; 2-Leaming Differences; 6- Assessment; 7- Planning for Instruction; 8- Instructional Strategies; 10- Leadership and Collaboration

Description of the Impact on Student Learning Assessment
The requirement was for the teacher candidates to demonstrate individual impact on student learning by planning and implementing an academic unit plan and measuring the impact using both formal and informal data for pre and post test data comparisons. The assignment specifically addresses mastery of planning and instructional delivery to demonstrate understanding and use of a variety of instructional strategies to help learners develop content knowledge and skills to apply knowledge in meaningful ways. Candidates analyzed their data and prepared a PowerPoint presentation to share information with classmates and the course instructor.

This assessment was designed to demonstrate that candidates can document their impact on student learning by creating a unit plan in alignment with InTASC Standards following these procedures. Create a unit plan. InTASC 7; Assesses content of the selected unit. InTASC 6; Contains activities that are aligned with the unit objectives. InTASC 7; Uses scoring methods that provide quantifiable data. InTASC 6; Conduct your pretest assessment and prepare a results sheet that includes the scores for each student who completed the pretest; Discuss your teaching of the unit and student responses. InTASC 6; 7; 8; Conduct your posttest. InTASC 6; Enter your posttest scores on the results sheet InTASC 6; Discuss After Pretests/posttest Analysis and submit electronic copy of your PowerPoint presentation InTASC 10

Evaluation - The teacher candidates’ unit plan was evaluated by the seminar instructor using the attached “ED 455 Student Impact Rubric”. The data table attached show all candidate mean scores fell within the target range of proficient with rating scores of 1 – Novice; 2-Effective: Emerging; 3- Effective: Proficient; 4-Highly Effective

 

The EPP measures “How satisfied the completers are with their teacher preparation experiences at Grambling State University” with a Follow-Up Survey at the conclusion of their first year of teaching. Each descriptive statement is aligned with national teacher preparation standards (inTASC principles) and represent the knowledge, skills and dispositions that have a positive impact on the learning and development of P12 learners. The survey asks completers to rate their degree of satisfaction with this rating scale 1-Ineffective 2- Effective: Emerging 3 – Effective: Proficient 4 – Highly Effective, associated with positive impact on P12 students.  Items in the scale are aligned with 10 standards of the Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC): 1 – Learner Development; 2 – Learning Differences; 3 – Learning Environments; 4 – Content Knowledge; 5 – Application of Content; 6 – Assessment; 7 – Planning for Instruction; 8 – Instructional Strategies; 9 – Professional Learning and Ethical Practice; and 10 – Leadership and Collaboration. Respondents to this survey reflect confidence that their own knowledge, skills and dispositions are allowing them to make a positive impact on the learning and development of the children in their classrooms.  Results of the Program Completers  2024-2025 -  Performance Level Ratings InTASC Standards are shown in the table attached.

 

Completer Effectiveness:

The EPP annually surveys the employers of program completers in the initial program.  The purpose of the assessment is to provide the EPP with in-depth results on the educator preparation programs’ effectiveness in preparing teachers to succeed in the classroom.  The EPP administered The Louisiana Educator Rubric which was designed through a partnership between the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) and the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) to directly support improvements in classroom instruction. By clearly defining effective teaching and student-centered instruction, this rubric provides educators with a roadmap for strengthening their practice, facilitating high-quality coaching, and fostering collaboration around best instructional practices. The Louisiana Educator Rubric brings a comprehensive focus on four key domains: instruction, planning, environment, and professionalism. Each domain is further broken down into indicators and descriptors that clearly define effective teaching. Performance definitions are provided at levels: 5 - Significantly Above Expectations - Exemplary, 3 -At Expectations - Proficient, and 1- Significantly Below Expectations - Unsatisfactory.

The EPP collected data for 6 initial candidates.  According to data collected for the 2024-2025 completers teaching in public schools were rated as “At Expectations Proficient (Some Evidence of Student-Centered Learning/ Student Ownership of Learning – Teacher Facilitates the Learning) on the 23 evaluated components, as shown on the attached The Louisiana Educator Rubric data table.  This data is requested annually at the conclusion of each academic year.  Results of the data collected are shown in the table attached.

 

Student Teacher/Intern Professional Portfolio
Spring 2025

The Professional Digital Portfolio document teaching effectiveness by compiling evidence of key components demonstrating effectiveness such as Learner Development, Learning Differences, Learning Environments, Content Knowledge, Application of Content, Assessment, Planning for Instruction, Instructional Strategies, Learning and Ethical Practice and Leadership and Collaboration.  The teacher candidates are asked to analyze their own work to uncover clear, specific, and coherent narratives about my learning over time, clearly and concisely explain how each artifact connects to their learning narrative and effectively turn a critical eye toward my their own work, explaining why certain mistakes, assumptions, or oversights were made and how I responded to them and select artifacts from my own work that combine to support a clear, coherent, overarching narrative about my learning and the best representation of that particular INTASC standard.  The Teaching Portfolio are structured around InTASC 1. Student teachers present the digital Professional Portfolio to a panel of educators external to Grambling State University who rate the presentation using the rubric provided.  The table attached demonstrates rating according to InTASC 1 and Programs/Teacher Candidate with a rating score of 1- 5 - (5: Exemplary; 4: Distinguished; 3: Proficient; 2-Developing and 1 - Improvement Needed).  All candidate mean scores fell within the target range of proficient.

 

Completer Focus Group

The overarching goal for the data analysis was to determine whether “program completers perceive their preparation as relevant to the responsibilities they encounter on the job, and their preparation was effective.”  A qualitative method was chosen to analyze the data from Focus Group interviews.  The 2024-2025 Program Completers received an email invitation requesting participation in the virtual focus group. The Focus Group had four participants.  A summary statement is included in the table attached that articulate themes that emerged from completers in their responses.

Measure 2: Satisfaction of Employers and Stakeholder Involvement

Employer Survey

The College of Education annually surveys the employers of program completers in the initial program.  The purpose of the assessment is to provide the EPP with in-depth results on the educator preparation programs’ effectiveness in preparing teachers to succeed in the classroom.  The EPP administered The Louisiana Educator Rubric which was designed through a partnership between the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) and the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) to directly support improvements in classroom instruction.  By clearly defining effective teaching and student-centered instruction, this rubric provides educators with a roadmap for strengthening their practice, facilitating high-quality coaching, and fostering collaboration around best instructional practices.  The Louisiana Educator Rubric brings a comprehensive focus on four key domains: instruction, planning, environment, and professionalism.  Each domain is further broken down into indicators and descriptors that clearly define effective teaching.  Performance definitions are provided at levels: 5 - Significantly Above Expectations - Exemplary, 3 -At Expectations - Proficient, and 1- Significantly Below Expectations - Unsatisfactory.

The rubric was electronically distributed to seventeen principals for the 2024-2025 completers. Of these seventeen employers, we obtained six responses for a 35% return rate.

 

2024-2025 Employer Survey Strengths:

  • Employers’ responses totaled 8%: 5 - Significantly Above Expectations – Exemplary (Consistent Evidence of Student-Centered Learning/ Student Ownership of Learning – Teacher and Students Facilitate the Learning)
  • Employers’ responses totaled 91%: At Expectations – Proficient (Some Evidence of Student-Centered Learning/ Student Ownership of Learning – Teacher Facilitates the Learning)
  • Employers’ responses totaled 1%: Significantly Below Expectations – Unsatisfactory (Minimal Evidence of Student Ownership of Learning – Heavy Emphasis on Teacher Direction)

 (See table attached for data from Louisiana Educator Rubric)

 

PK-16+  

The primary role of the PK-16+ Council includes reviewing issues and areas of concern relevant to P-12 schools, along with developing and providing professional development activities for new and veteran teachers.  The PK-16+ Co-chairs ensure that collaborative efforts take place between the unit and P12 schools.  Responsibilities of the PK-16+ Council are: 1. To create cross-institutional relationships with other stakeholders.  2. To collect, analyze, and use data for program improvements between the University and PK-12 settings.  The PK-16+ includes teachers and administrators from P-12 urban and suburban settings, recent completers, EPP faculty and administrators.  The PK-16+ council meets quarterly per academic year.

 

MOUs/Partner Schools

To ensure that partnerships are mutually beneficial and include mutually agreeable expectations for candidate entry, preparation and exit, Memoranda of Understanding are created in collaboration with each district to personalize the experiences for candidates and the schoolhouse.  Additionally, each Memorandum of Understanding is developed to highlight the specific collaborative clinical components active within the district.  The MOU remains in effect until or unless changes are needed by either party.  The EPP has a total of twenty-five MOUs/partnerships.

Measure 3: Candidate Competency at Program Completion

Initial Programs: State licensure exams

Teacher candidates seeking initial licensure in Louisiana are required to take and pass the required General Pedagogy exam and Content Specialty exam.  Candidates must meet the qualifying score for each required exam to become eligible for licensure in the state of Louisiana.  Candidates must schedule testing through ETS, taking the exam(s) specifically required by the state of Louisiana.  In the tables attached, a Pass status indicates that the candidate passed all the Praxis exams required for licensure.

The EPP pass rate for candidates seeking initial certification during the 22-23, 23-24 and 24-25 academic years were 100% respectively.

 

Initial Programs: Grade-Point Averages

At the point of program completion, initial licensure candidates also demonstrate competency by earning an overall GPA of at least 3.24.  For our initial licensure programs, the overall average GPA at program completion during 2024-2025 academic year was 3.28 for Elementary Education Grades 1-5, 3.04 for History - Social Studies Concentration, 2.89 - Kinesiology-Pedagogy, and 3.36 Elementary Education/ Special Education M/M Grades 1-5.  The EPP’s GPA disaggregated data is included in Initial Program Candidates’ Average GPA at Completion by Program table attached.  (See table attached for data for the Initial Program Candidates’ Average GPA at Completion by Program)

 

Title II Reporting

In addition to the proprietary assessments and grade-point averages and transition points, the EPP also reports completion data to the federal government under the Higher Education Act. The information contained in the 2024-2025 Title II Reports at the end of this section includes assessment pass rates from recent years.  (Attached - Title II Report: Grambling State University Traditional Report AY 2024-2025)
