NCATE Goals for Academic Year  Review SPA reports submitted for last NCATE visit  Address any areas of concern and comments made by reviewers  Review SPA and Unit assessments  Begin looking at the consistency of the data  Do all assessments address the standards providing meaningful and relevant data for the program?  Streamline data collection  Create data report cycle for Unit and SPA and assessment data

Proposed Program Portfolio  Addresses the standards for each program  Provides program and unit data  Eliminates the need to complete the Conceptual Framework Reflection in each course  Rubric addresses students’ ability to:  Provide appropriate evidence for each standard  Reflect upon how the evidence addresses the standard  Reflect upon how the evidence relates to the conceptual framework  Sample portfolio developed in LiveText
