5.2 Program demonstrated positive impact on Pk-12 schools
5.2 The unit and its programs demonstrate that they are having a positive impact on teaching and learning in schools that serve California’s students.
Attallah College actively relies on various methods to demonstrate our candidates have a positive impact on schools. All programs utilize three levels of data to assess potential and outcome-based program impact: (1) clinical data, (2) graduate data, and (3) alumni data outlined below. We evaluate candidate progression through clinical fieldwork experience across a series of formative and summative assessments conducted by the University Supervisor and Master Teacher in Teacher Education, and the Practica/Internship Supervisor in School Counseling and School Psychology programs. Each program captures and reviews graduate outcome data points including completer performance assessments, Exit Interviews (School Counseling, School Psychology, Special Education), and Exit Surveys (all programs). Finally, we have begun capturing alumni employment data across programs. Our plan is to take these data findings and develop an interview protocol and survey tool to capture employer information about individual Attallah alumnus aggregating these data to inform program design. Finally, we have integrated the CTC Completer Surveys as part of our Annual Review process for Teacher Education as a means of tracking feedback on our programs and alumni.
