Program Report Submission Form

Class B or Alternative Class A Physical Education (P-12)

Institution Name:

Date Submitted:

Program Report Status: Choose one of the options below.

·  Initial Review

·  Continuing Review

·  Feedback Only

Essential Purpose for Each Section:

I.  Background Information: Provide background knowledge of the structure of the program (checklist; numbers of admissions, completers, and recommendations for certification).

II.  Key Assessments: Provide an overview of the assessment plan for the program in the chart. Key Assessments are typically summative assessments of candidates’ proficiencies. Evaluation of Key Assessments is based on the assessment instruments, scoring guides or rubrics, data tables, and data analysis. Review teams use the Rubric for Key Assessments.

III.  Alignment of Standards to Curriculum and Key Assessments: Provide an overview of how the program ensures each indicator is adequately addressed in curriculum and Key Assessment(s) so reviewers know where to look to for evidence. Reviewers use the course descriptions and assessment documents, not the chart, to determine each indicator is addressed and whether the standard itself is met.

IV.  Summary of Field Experiences: Provide an overview of how the program requires candidates to demonstrate developing proficiencies in field experiences prior to internship. Evaluation of field experiences is based on the chart and assignments or assessments. Copies of assignments or assessments must be submitted. No data are required unless a field experience assessment is also a Key Assessment. Reviewers use the Rubric for Field Experiences Prior to Internship. The evidence should demonstrate field experiences are well-planned, sequential, and meaningful.

V.  Presentation of Data and Analysis: For each key assessment, include the coversheet; assessment instrument; rubric or scoring guide; data chart(s); and data analysis.

VI.  Discussion of How Data Analysis Across Key Assessments Informs Continuous Improvement: Provide an overview of what the program has learned from analyzing all of the data across Key Assessments and provide evidence of program changes that have been or will be made as a result.

Each indicator must be supported by at least one Key Assessment that provides solid and direct evidence of candidate mastery of the standard. In most cases, a standard will be addressed by more than one Key Assessment. Cross-references to the standards and indicators should be inserted into the assessment instruments, scoring guides, and/or data tables.

Are field experiences always completed in the order noted above? If no, provide additional information about other possible sequences of required field experiences.
If the column for Placement Requirements does not indicate specific schools or types of schools, briefly explain how the program ensures placements in diverse schools.


SECTION V Presentation of Data and Analysis

1.  Use a separate coversheet with each Key assessment. For each Key Assessment, submit the coversheet, rubric or scoring guide, data, and data analysis as one document in SharePoint.

The coversheet is available online at: http://www.alsde.edu/sec/ep/Pages/programreviews-all.aspx?navtext=Program Reviews.

Click on the CIEP Template tab and scroll to the bottom of the page.

2.  Refer to the CIEP Rubric for Key Assessments for criteria used by review teams to evaluate each Key Assessment and its rubric or scoring guide, data table(s), and data analysis.

The CIEP Rubric for Key Assessments is available on the same web page listed above. It is located at the top of the page.

SECTION VI Discussion of How Data Analysis Across Key Assessments Informs Continuous Improvement

Include a document, no more than four pages in length, presenting evidence that assessment results have been analyzed and have been or will be used to improve candidate performance and strengthen the program. This description should summarize principal findings from the evidence, the faculty’s interpretation of those findings, and changes made (or planned) in the program as a result. Describe the steps the faculty has taken to use information from assessments for improvement of both candidate performance and the program. This information should be organized around:

1.  Content knowledge

2.  Ability to fulfill identified professional responsibilities

3.  Ability to promote student achievement
