|
Current Course Description: Examines the key issues and concepts in using classroom assessment to help teacher differentiate instruction and the curriculum. Course topics include reliability and validity of norm-referenced and criterion-referenced assessments, achievement testing, curriculum-based assessment, curriculum-based measurement and issues surrounding the assessment of students with special needs. |
|
New Course Description: This course is the first in a three-part series of FS 600, 601, and 602 designed for candidates who plan to advance from an Initial Teaching License to a Continuing Teaching License. Candidates will be guided through the process of documenting that they have met the advanced proficiencies required by TSPC to move from an Initial to a Continuing Teaching License (CTL). This course will develop and expand students' understanding of action research and its place within the K-12 classroom. Emphasis in FS 600 will include: how to develop a research question, how to develop and plan data sources, and will culminate in the creation of an Action Plan. |
|
Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): In the past, MSEd students enrolled in the CTL (Continuing Teacher Licensure) program took 6 credits of coursework for this exit option--FS 600 for 3 credits and FS 601 for 3 credits. The MSEd program is changing this six credits of coursework to run across an entire academic year, now completing the six credits via 3 classes--FS 600 for 2 credits in the fall, FS 601 for 2 credits in the winter, and FS 602 for 2 credits in the spring. This will allow those students working on an action research project within the CTL program to plan, research, collect and analyze data, and write their CTL project across an entire school year as well as be involved in coursework and study that expands students' knowledge of advanced assessment techniques and action research protocols. |
|
Students/Program affected: Students enrolled in the CTL exit option for the MSEd degree. |
