3. Highlights of our Journey: Context
Where we were:
A range of Tk20 use
Most data-based review was manual
Reviews were regular and consistent
Some vibrant programs with interdisciplinary programs growing and expanding
Programs matured more quickly than our systems
Faculty engaged in a review and decision to move to LiveText
Where we were:
A range of Tk20 use, some very strong and other no Tk20 use (Manual Data Review at course, program, and departmental level)
Most data-based review was at the course and program level, manually accomplished with program and course lead faculty
Reviews were regular and consistent within programs, involving school district partnerships
Some vibrant programs with interdisciplinary programs growing and expanding
Our programs and program requirements matured more quickly than our systems
Fall 2015 and Spring 2016—Faculty engaged in a review of Tk20, and Taskstream and LiveText. A thorough review was completed with faculty engaged in on-campus presentations, assessments, and discussions

6. 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.
Data from all assessments described as being used to gauge candidate readiness to are not specifically identified or provided. As part of the addendum, such data need to be provided.
