1.5 Evidence for the BOE Team to validate during the onsite visit As part of the addendum, the team requests that the unit provide a full matrix of all advanced programs, showing what evidence for each program supports the unit’s case for meeting the standard. As part of the addendum and at the visit, the team seeks specific evidence that demonstrates that candidates know the content that they teach and can explain important principles and concepts delineated in professional, state, and institutional standards. The team will seek to validate evidence available to demonstrate that candidates for other professional school roles have an adequate understanding of the knowledge expected in their fields and delineated in professional, state, and institutional standards. The team requests specific assessments and rubrics demonstrating that candidates know their students, families, and communities; use data and current research to inform their practices; use technology in their practices; and support student learning through their professional services.
