April 2, 2006

Dear Committee,

I am happy that our meeting was so productive. It is nice to have two new and helpful members join our group. Thank you all for being so eager to help out by assuming the interview and writing tasks for the Department and Standards sections of our report. Thank you Jarod for agreeing to be our secretary of minutes.  I will post them sometime this week on our technology page: http://www.education.sfasu.edu/ele/classes/abel/ncate_technology.html  

Per the discussion at our March 31st meeting, I have completed the following:
 We have set our goal to complete the INTERVIEW REPORTS by MAY 1st.

I am hopeful the SURVEY can be moved into action this week so that you will have the results to help improve your reports.

If I do not hear back from any of you w/n a day or two, I will assume we are all on the same page and will submit an updated report about all of this to the Dean and copy it to John Leonard and Mary Nelle Brunson (and you, of course).

Please let me know if you think we are leaving out any important areas, or if I have missed or misunderstood anything.  For example, will our survey give us the specifics we need for "programs" or do we need one specifically to cover that area?  What about "staff" as Sally asked?  Do you think we need to explore that area or does the commitment and integration of technology in teaching stop with the faculty and candidate and future teacher? As Dave asked, do we have enough, or the right, questions for distance ed?  In my attempt to make it easier on everyone, I might sometimes go beyond my role as chair and assume things where we do not have agreement as a commimttee. I will not be hurt in the slightest if you bring my attention to this anytime I might over-direct.  We want an end product that is both correct, professional, and something of which we can all be proud.

Sincerely,

Carol Abel, Chair
NCATE Technology Committee

PS
If anyone becomes overwhelmed in producing their report, please email all of us and someone will step in to help. Remember, I just need a drafted report; I will edit and write "as one voice" once you submit these to me.
QUESTIONS FOR CHAIRS OF DEPARTMENTS:

YOUR REPORT has 4 sections
We need a minimum of an informative substantive paragraph for each (good time to brag, but be honest).
Whenever possible, get them to give you a link to evidence (document name or website). Keep track of all sources.  Please use WORD 12".

1 - Commitment to Technology - introduction to the dept (ask them stats about the dept) and evidence of commitment to technology
2 - Integration of Technology - Update Since Last Visit - how do we shine (brag) /what's new since the last visit; since the last report?
3 - Areas in need of Improvement - regarding technology,  where could we do better?
4 - Future Plans - future plans  (may include profl dev / ideally, a self-reflective self-improving "process" is put into place)


Tell them our report must demonstrate the COE's commitment to preparing candidates who are able to use educational technology to help all students learn. We must provide evidence of the integration of technology (throughout our curriculum, instruction, field experience, clinical practice, assessments, and evaluations).  We need a "general" summary from them on how this is being done in their department.  We would like their summary to address the four areas of (1) commitment to technology (2) evidence of integration of technology (3) areas in need of improvement (4) plans for improvement. However, this is mostly a time to BRAG about how much improvement we have made since the last NCATE visit.

STANDARD 2 - ASSESSMENT DATA

BACKGROUND

NCATE expects us to use technology to maintain our assessment systems.  It expects us to have an assessment system that collects and analyzes data on applicant qualifications, and candidate and graduate performance. It is expected that we assess a candidate's competence before admission to our program, during the course of the preparation program, including assessment of field-based and clinical experiences, and before the completion of the program and/or recommendation for licensure. Multiple assessments should be used, and must include performance-based assessments.

The processes of assessment and evaluation are data driven and require significant allocation of time and resources to accomplish. Minimally, a well-developed assessment plan must be in place. Each year, units will be expected to be implementing these assessment systems collecting, compiling, and analyzing performance data; developing rubrics or criteria for decision making; and testing performance assessments.

Technology is expected to play an increasingly important role in data gathering and analysis, as well as more broadly in unit planning and evaluation.

QUESTIONS

S2GA - In general, how are we doing with respect to using technology to maintain an objective assessment system which facilitates data analysis to improve programs? 
S2RA - What technology is being used and is it sufficient to maintain this system? 
S2QW - What are the areas in need of improvement?
S2QP - hat plans are in place for improving this?
S2QC - Where is evidence of commitment to technology in this standard?
S2QG - In general, what are the significant notable changes with regard to this standard's integration of technology since NCATE's last visit?

Please respond to questions for undergraduate and advanced programs.

STANDARD 3 - FIELD

BACKGROUND
NCATE expects that candidates have the "opportunity" in their field and clinical experiences to use technology to support teaching and learning.

CRITICAL QUESTIONS
S3EO - What evidence can you provide to show that clinical practice "allows candidates to use" information technology to support teaching and learning.
S3F - What evidence can you provide to show that clinical faculty provide regular and continuing support for student teachers and other interns through such processes as email and the use of other technology (or use survey datar).
S3EO - What evidence can you provide to show that clinical practice provides for candidates' use of information technology to support teaching, learning, and other professional responsibilities.

MORE QUESTIONS
S3QC - Where is evidence of commitment to technology in this standard?
S3QG - In general, what are the significant notable changes with regard to the intergration of technology in this standard since NCATE's last visit?
S3QW - Where do we still need to improve?
S3QP - What future plans are in place?

Please respond to questions for undergraduate and advanced programs.

PROMPTS - Ask about any school grants, etc.  We might get by on this one if we report the technology grants to get computers in schools, the modeling and teaching of technology in our classes, and the "encouragement" from mentors & supervisors and college classes to integrate technology during internship experiences. We will add what is discovered via survey and possibly add that this one needs some more attention now that we are all begin'g to recognize the signifiance and ability to improve learning using technology in our teaching.

STANDARD 4 - DIVERSITY (DISTANCE ED)

WE ARE GOING TO  INTERPRET THIS IN 3 WAYS:

1 - Teaching to diverse students requires technology options to meet individual needs (standard 1).
2 - Teaching to diverse students sometimes requires assisted technologies (standard 1, 6).
3 - Teaching to diverse students includes those who cannot attend F-to-Face classes (distance ed).
Please write this report to address these areas.
Elaborate on Distance Ed (link to new page) since this is a strength.
