Results Across all terms: In 71 out 120 (59%) assessment points, 100% of our students reached our goal of a “B” or better across all term If we were to change our target, we would only see a slight increase. In 73 out of 120 assessment points, at least 93% or more of our students earned a “B” or better across all terms Small class sizes impact results significantly 3 out of a class of 4 = 75% 5 out of a class of 6 = 83%

Questions C.2 (Program Evaluation): Are students ready for this in Practicum? Should this be moved to Internship or can this be resolved at advising level? D.2 (Ind/Group/Classroom): Is this happening consistently or do we need to be more intentional in field assignments? D.3 (Addressing Diverse Needs): Is the ss evaluation an appropriate assessment for this or should we move to counseling video and reflection? F.1 (MC Competency): Is a quiz a strong assessment for this? Assess in field experiences? F.4 (Engaging Families): Critical and not meeting goal. Is this an appropriate assessment? G.1 (Eating Disorders, Violence, etc.): Consistently not meeting goal. What are the pedagogy implications? K.3 (Classroom strategies): Need to cover more fully elsewhere? P.2: (Parent Educational Program): Critical and not meeting goal. Is this an appropriate assessment?

Action Points: Teaching A.1 (Philosophy of SC): Add essay portion to Scavenger Hunt in 508 G.1 (Eating Disorders, Violence, etc.): Need to review instruction and quiz items in 508 K.3 (Classroom Strategies): Add content and assessment to 525 P.2 (Parent Educational Program): More specifically address this in curriculum

Action Points: Assessment Need to look at each standard and assignment for meaning and placement. Need to look at field assignments and assessments, specifically the evaluations, to be more precise. Some standards (ex. C.2) are very large. Should we break these into subpoints? Reconsider language used in site supervisor evaluations Subpoints Mirror SC State Evaluation Tool? Evaluation tool is needed for classroom guidance and group counseling. Assessment in 526 and 525 needs to be more precise in assessment plan: use weekly quizzes instead of quiz average, specific components of Portfolio rather than avg
