Each year CCSAR conducts an evaluation of the SCSU Educator Preparation Program. This broad-based approach incorporates a variety of research and performance-based assessment instruments to assess and measure the overall quality and effectiveness of this program.  In addition, this program evaluation helps to ensure that the School of Education (SOE) continues to meet the standards set forth by its accrediting bodies, e.g., NCATE, CSDE, etc.

CCSAR’s 2004-2005 program evaluation included an  analysis of: (1)  principal responses to  a survey designed to elicit principals’ thoughts, opinions and perceptions of the quality and level of preparation of  recent graduates; (2)  cooperating teachers’ survey responses regarding the quality and level of preparation of SCSU student teachers (fall 2004 & spring 2005); (3) current students’ (undergraduate and graduate) responses regarding their thoughts and opinions of  the quality of their educator preparation program; 4)  students’ survey responses pertaining to their field experience related to a specific course; (5) student CAT score data during the 2004-2005 academic year; (6) alumni responses from students who graduated two years earlier from a SCSU program; and (7) current doctoral students’ perceptions and thoughts regarding the quality of the SCSU doctoral program.
