2022 Teaching & Assessment Symposium
Growing [and Assessing] Great Teachers: A Program Level Assessment
Location
University Center
Description
In Fall 2019, the English Education (EED) program introduced a fully revised major that offers students three emphasis options: Language and Literature, Special Education, and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) Education (with TESL/CLD endorsement). All three options meet the new CDE requirement that teacher education programs explicitly address English Language Learner standards, and the CLD option well exceeds them. Because teacher candidates (TCs) in the CLD option are receiving endorsements in EED and CLD, it is essential that both programs monitor student performance and development. An e-portfolio will offer a common tool for assessing our shared teacher candidates and measuring the success of this co-curricular program.
Our Portfolio Project would both streamline and standardize assessment of TC’s co-curricular learning by creating a single e-portfolio that does more than measure their mastery of program-level outcomes. An e-portfolio allows both UNC faculty and TCs to trace TC’s growth and development over the course of their program, provides multiple opportunities for systematic reflection, and warns faculty when intervention might be required.
