SECTION I - CONTEXT

    1.  Description of any state or institutional policies that may influence the application of AAHPERD/NASPE standards. (Response limited to 4,000 characters)The South Carolina Department of Education Policy Guideline for Educators Preparation is closely aligned with NCATE standards. However, the state does require additional requirements for educator preparation units at the initial preparation level. All candidates must: (a) know, understand, and can apply the appropriate South Carolina preK-12 academic standards, (b) possess the knowledge, skills and dispositions to integrate the EEDS (Education and Economic Development Act) standards, and (c) possess the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to identify and prevent bullying, harassment, and intimidation in the schools. All preparation units must integrate the South Carolina ADEPT (Assisting, Developing, and evaluating the Performance of Teachers) standards throughout candidate course work and field/clinical experiences and provide evidence that all candidates meet the ADEPT competencies.

For admissions to an initial teacher preparation program at the undergraduate level, the South Carolina Department of Education requires all candidates: (a) achieve a minimum score on the Praxis I test or achieve a minimum score on the SAT, (b) complete a minimum 45 semester hours of coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.5, and (c) provide a disclosure statement concerning all prior convictions (including felonies and misdemeanors). Our institution also requires that each candidate receive 3 disposition assessments (one completed by each of the following: a general education professor, EDFS 201 Introduction to Education professor, and a person who has seen the candidate work with children). In regards to Clinical Practice, the state requires a minimum of 100 hours of field experience prior to clinical practice for undergraduate candidates. Clinical practice must take place in a public school setting and be equivalent to a minimum of 60 full days or twelve weeks.

    2.  Description of the field and clinical experiences required for the program, including the number of hours for early field experiences and the number of hours/weeks for student teaching or internships. (Response limited to 8,000 characters)

The title of the file should clearly indicate the content of the file. Word documents, pdf files, and other commonly used file formats are acceptable.

    5.  Candidate InformationDirections: Provide three years of data on candidates enrolled in the program and completing the program, beginning with the most recent academic year for which numbers have been tabulated. Report the data separately for the levels/tracks (e.g., baccalaureate, post-baccalaureate, master's initial licensure) being addressed in this report. Data must also be reported separately for programs offered at multiple sites. Update academic years (column 1) as appropriate for your data span. Create additional tables as necessary.

    (2) NCATE uses the Title II definition for program completers. Program completers are persons who have met all the requirements of a state-approved teacher preparation program. Program completers include all those who are documented as having met such requirements. Documentation may take the form of a degree, institutional certificate, program credential, transcript, or other written proof of having met the program's requirements.

SECTION IV - EVIDENCE FOR MEETING STANDARDS

    DIRECTIONS: The 6-8 key assessments listed in Section II must be documented and discussed in Section IV. Taken as a whole, the assessments must demonstrate candidate mastery of the SPA standardsand elements. The key assessments should be required of all candidates. Assessments and scoring guides and data charts should be aligned with the SPA standards. This means that the concepts in the SPA standards and elements should be apparent in the assessments and in the scoring guides to the same depth, breadth, and specificity as in the SPA standards and elements. Data tables should also be aligned with the SPA standards and elements. The data should be presented, in general, at the same level it is collected. For example, if a rubric collects data on 10

Page 9: The College of Charleston

elements [each relating to specific SPA standard(s)], then the data chart should report the data on each of the elements rather that reporting a cumulative score.

In the description of each assessment below, the SPA has identified potential assessments that would be appropriate. Assessments have been organized into the following three areas to be aligned with the elements in NCATE’s unit standard 1:• Content knowledge (Assessments 1 and 2)• Pedagogical and professional knowledge, skills and dispositions (Assessments 3 and 4)• Focus on student learning (Assessment 5)

Note that in some disciplines, content knowledge may include or be inextricable from professional knowledge. If this is the case, assessments that combine content and professional knowledge may be considered "content knowledge" assessments for the purpose of this report.

For each assessment, the compiler should prepare one document that includes the following items:

(1) A two-page narrative that includes the following:a. A brief description of the assessment and its use in the program;b. A description of how this assessment specifically aligns with the standards and elements it is cited for in Section III. Cite SPA standards/elements by number (e.g.,1.1 or 1.2);c. A brief analysis of the data findings;d. An interpretation of how that data provides evidence for meeting standards/elements, indicating the specific SPA standards and elements by number (e.g.,1.1 or 1.2 etc); and

(2) Assessment Documentatione. The assessment tool itself or a rich description of the assessment (often the directions given to candidates);f. The scoring guide for the assessment; andg. Charts that provide candidate data derived from the assessment.

The responses for e, f, and g (above) should be limited to the equivalent of five text pages each , however in some cases assessment instruments or scoring guides may go beyond five pages.

Note: As much as possible, combine all of the files for one assessment into a single file. That is, create one file for Assessment #4 that includes the two-page narrative (items a – d above), the assessment itself (item e above), the scoring guide (item f above, and the data chart (item g above). Each attachment should be no larger than 2 mb. Do not include candidate work or syllabi. There is a limit of 20 attachments for the entire report so it is crucial that you combine files as much as possible.

    1.  State licensure tests or professional examinations of content knowledge. AAHPERD/NASPE standards addressed in this entry could include but are not limited to Standard 1. If your state does not require licensure tests or professional examinations in the content area, data from another assessment must be presented to document candidate attainment of content knowledge. (Assessment Required)

Provide assessment information (items 1. a,b,c,d and 2.e,f,g) as outlined in the directions for Section IVA complete description of the assessment should be included (format of the exam, content area sub-scores).

Assessment 1 - Praxis II Content and Video Exam

See Attachments panel below.

    2.  Assessment of content knowledge in the field of physical education. AAHPERD/NASPE standards addressed in this assessment could include but are not limited to Standards 1 and 2.

SECTION V - USE OF ASSESSMENT RESULTS TO IMPROVE PROGRAM

    1.  Evidence must be presented in this section that assessment results have been analyzed and have been or will be used to improve candidate performance and strengthen the program. This description should not link improvements to individual assessments but, rather, it should summarize principal findings (data) from the evidence, the faculty's interpretation of those findings, and changes made in (or planned for) the program as a result. Describe the steps program 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) professional and pedagogical knowledge, skill, and dispositions, and (3) student learning.

(Response limited to 12,000 characters)

The PETE program faculty meets every May to review all data from key assessments designed for the program. The review of data is done in a systematic manner that first identifies the key assessments and then investigates other forms of information that have been identified as valuable to understanding the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of our candidates. Data is gathered from the State Department of

Page 11: The College of Charleston

Education, ETS, and ED-SYS (college data base) to triangulate data in order to provide a holistic view of candidate performance.

1. Content Knowledge – The primary source for content knowledge is Assessments 1, 2 and 6. Praxis II scores both in the specific content test and the video analysis exam are used as a primary source for candidate’s performance specific to content knowledge. The data collected specific to the content exam in physical education indicates that our candidates are very strong in content knowledge (100% pass rate). The faculty indicated that the lowest area scores on the content exam was in biomechanics and thus have worked with exercise science faculty that teach Kinesiology, which is a required course for our candidates, to ensure that content is covered in that class. Candidates indicated that they did not feel prepared for the video portion of the Praxis II exam so the program added video assessment in 3 courses of study. Final exams in PEHD 222, 223, and 235 have a video analysis specific to the course (not the Praxis II) as part of the final exam requirements. The program added activities courses to the program of study to address the need for skill development under Standard 2. PEHD 222 and 223 were redesigned to address the need for more skill development courses. The program has used the data collected during the pilot years of the new assessment system to determine the amount of practice time the candidates require in order to develop skill. The data reported indicated a few students require addition practice time and must sign up to take additional activity courses. But 80% of candidates score in the acceptable level of skill development by the end of the semester. The fitness assessment data suggested that candidates performed the lowest in the component of flexibility. Although this was a surprise to faculty the program has added components in activity courses to work on flexibility and an increase emphasis has been placed on lecture content. Praxis Ii exam has recently changed and will no longer address Standard 1 in its entirety. The program is investigating alternative means to assessment content knowledge of its candidates. The program will continue to research other assessment methods directly related to the evaluation of Standard 1. The program is presently re-evaluating the options for activity courses within the Department. The addition of new activity courses that will expand the opportunity for our candidates is in the planning stages.

2. Professional and pedagogical knowledge, skill, and dispositions - Assessments 3, 4, 5 and 7 are used as primary evidence to support candidate’s professional and pedagogical knowledge, skill, and dispositions. The program adopted a mastery philosophy specific to candidate’s knowledge, skills, and dispositions. Therefore the data reported indicates that all candidates perform at a minimal acceptable level. Through the faculty meetings and data analysis the program has started to assess other evaluations of assignments to indicate possible concerns prior to the mastery level. Faculty were concerned that final evaluations were not helpful in addressing areas of improvement. Data analysis has begun on the first three evaluations during clinical practice to start to identify trends in data. The program would like to investigate the growth of candidates throughout the 12 week process. The same is being done with data from other field experiences (elementary, middle, high school, and adapted). The program felt more information was required in order to give meaning to the development of candidates. The program is further investigating the use of technology in the teaching experience. The program requires one teaching episode use technology so the program feels that candidates are forced to use some form. The program wants to investigate if candidate’s use it willingly in other opportunities or just when they have to. The program has designed a survey to be distributed at the end of each field experience to determine if candidates willingly use technology or not. The program is investigating the instruction of Geo-caching in PEHD 202 to expose candidates to the skills. This may enhance the opportunity for candidates to integrate technology in the middle school and high school experiences. The program has identified that candidates skill require more exposure to field opportunities to enhance their ability to management the K-12 environment. Candidates indicate on the exit interview that one area they feel the most unprepared for. The program does not have one specific course related to classroom management but rather the faculty has decided to add management to each of the methods classes. The indication is that this way specific educational activity can occur specific to the environment.

3. Student Learning – Primary sources of evidence comes from Assessment 5 and 7. The program has placed a major focus on the impact of instruction on student learning from its candidates. Candidates are exposed to the concept beginning in the sophomore level courses. This decision came out of the analysis of data from the pilot data of our new assessment system. PEHD 431 Research Methods has separated out exercise science majors and is now just PETE and Health Promotion students. This was done in with an attempt to focus the types of experiences and learning opportunities between the two majors with similar interests. Data from the candidates has indicated that our candidates have write developmentally appropriate goals, instruct, assess, and evaluate their impact on student learning. The Fitnessgram is a mandatory assessment conducted in K-12 Physical Education in the state of South Carolina. The program has adopted to instruct how to administer the standardized fitness assessment in PEHD 352 Elementary Physical Education and then the candidates are assigned an elementary school to assist the physical education teacher in administering the test, analyzing the data and providing feedback to the students and parents regarding performance on the test. This experience has been very valuable to the candidates learning experience.

The program feels it has devised a strong assessment system for its curriculum that provides feedback on candidate’s knowledge, skills, and dispositions. The program has collected two semesters worth of data but with small numbers in each class it is difficult for the faculty to reach any specific conclusions. The program will continue to monitor candidate progress using current assessments and base future curricular decisions on data from candidate performance.

Assessment 1 pg. 1

Assessment 1 – Praxis II

Content (0091) and Video Exam (0093)

1. Description of the assessment and its use in the program:

Praxis II Content Exam for Physical Education (0091) and Praxis II Video Exam for Physical Education (0093) are both required for certification in K-12 physical education in the state of South Carolina. Candidates are encouraged to register to take the exam during their junior year. Candidates must successfully pass both exams in order to gain licensure in the state of South Carolina. Praxis II Content exam consists of 120 multiple choice questions. Each candidate is given 2 hours to complete the exam. The exam is divided into the following sections: 1. Health and Safety 14%; 2. Biomechanics 8%; 3. Social science foundations 11%; 4. Fitness and exercise 19%; 5. Movement forms 24%; and 5. Motor development, motor learning and fundamental movements 24%. The video exam consists of two questions that are to be answered based on the review of two video clips. Each video clip lasts approximately 2 minutes. Each question relates to at least one concept of motor skill performance and fitness.

2. Alignment between Assessment and NCATE/NASPE Standards/elements

The Praxis II Content Exam (0091) addresses NASPE standard 1 as shown below:

Category NASPE Elements % of test Description of category Health and Safety NASPE 1.1 14% Liability and legal aspects; health

related fitness appraisals; fitness relate safety considerations; effects of substance abuse.

Biomechanics NASPE 1.1 and 1.5 8% Basic principles of movement; application of basic principles to sport skills; methods of analyzing movement; analysis of basic movement patterns

Social Science Foundations

NASPE 1.2 and 1.4 11% History; philosophical issues; effects of competition; psychology; social psychological factors; sociology and sociopolitical issues

Fitness and Exercise NASPE 1.1 and 1.3 19% Components of fitness; conditioning practices and principles; human biology; anatomy and physiology; exercise physiology; nutrition and fitness

Movement Forms NASPE 1.1 and 1.3 24% Individual/dual/team sports; analysis of skills; game forms; dance and rhythms

Motor Development, motor learning and fundamental movements

NASPE 1.2 and 1.3 24% Fundamental movements; growth and motor development; motor learning; effects of maturation; classical and current theories of motor learning.

Praxis II Video Exam (0093)

NASPE 1.5 100% One motor skill performance and one fitness concept will be used for assessment. Candidate must

Page 17: The College of Charleston

Assessment 1 pg. 2

describe skill, assess skill, and prescribe/design activities to develop skills

Praxis II Video Exam (0093)

Candidates are given one hour to answer two questions specific to video clips they will watch. The video clip is of six students demonstrating various physical fitness movement activities. The candidates are asked a series of questions specific to the movement they observed. Candidates are required to identify features of physical movement exercises; identify appropriate communication skills that will help student increase their movement skills, and identify unsafe aspects of the performance. This requires candidates to “apply” content knowledge and “analyze and correct critical elements”.

The Praxis II content knowledge exam and video exam provide evidence of candidate performance and alignment with NASPE elements 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5. The content exam is aligned with elements 1.1 – 1.4 specifically and assess knowledge in the critical components that comprise the content of physical education. Praxis II video exam could address all elements in Standard 1 in that there is one movement/performance skill and one fitness skill. The expected response from the candidate needs to address the critical elements/ characteristics of the skill performed, assess the skills of the student and then design/prescribe appropriate movement experiences so that student could continue to develop the skill observed. The candidate is expected to incorporate in their written response in the video portion of this test specific content analysis aligned with elements 1.1-1.4.

3. Analysis of data:

Candidates must pass Praxis II content and video exam in order to be recommended to the state for licensure. The state requires a minimum passing score on the content exam of 146 while the minimum score on the video section is 160. Analysis of the overall scores as well as the sub-scores from the Praxis II exam revealed that our candidates do well in their content knowledge. Over the 6 semesters, 3 years 100% of candidates who have taken Praxis II Content test have passed on their first attempt. On the video exam, over the past six semesters two candidates have not passed on their first attempt but both passed on their second attempt. Our candidates have averaged 160.3 on the content, well above the state minimum of 146. While on the video section candidates have averaged 167.8 which are above the state required 160.

4. Interpretation of data:

Our candidates perform well on the Praxis II content and video exams. Our candidates do the best in the health & safety section and are weakest in the biomechanics section. Our candidates do not take a biomechanics course but are required to take a Kinesiology course which is taught solely by exercise science faculty. PETE faculty met with the faculty that instructs Kinesiology and has discussed the needs of our candidates in relation to course content. Exercise Science faculty have attempted to modify course content to cover the required elements for teacher education. Candidates indicated that they did not feel prepared for the video section of the exam because they did not feel that they had practice assessing through video and specific to the questions that they were required to answer. The program implemented video assessment during the final exam in PEHD 222 (Analysis and Conduct of Lifetime Activities), PEHD 223 (Analysis and Conduct of Team Sport) and PEHD 235 (Motor Learning and Development). The video exam is partial fulfillment of the final exam requirement for each course. The content and requirements of the final video exam is specific to the course but does provide the candidates with experience of assessing through video.

Assessment 2

Motor Skill Performance Based Competence

1. Description of the assessment and its use in the program.

Evidence of candidates skill based competency aligned to NASPE elements 2.1 and 2.3 come from specific skills based assessments designed in the PEHD 222 (Analysis and Conduct of Lifetime Activities); PEHD 223 (Analysis and Conduct of Team Sports); and PEHD 250 (Dance and Rhythms). Units covered in PEHD 222 focus on activities that are individual in nature specifically: pickleball, and golf. Units covered in PEHD 223 are the tradition team sports such as: basketball, volleyball, and soccer. PEHD 250 covers fundamental movement along with dance and rhythm skills. The primary focus of each course is skill development as well as “how to develop a unit of instruction on each activity.” The instructor of the course conducts a skills assessment at the end of each unit based on the skills and strategies that make up that activity. Rubrics have been designed for each unit so that every candidate is assessed on the same skills and strategies. Each candidate is expected to score a 2 (acceptable) or higher. If a candidate scores less than a 2 the candidate can redo that section of the assessment. A remediation plan can be developed between the candidate and the instructor and the candidate can be retested in the specific skills area throughout the semester. If at the end of the course a candidate cannot score a 2 the recommendation of the program is for that candidate to complete an activity course specific to that activity. All rubrics are posted on line prior to the assessment class.

2. Alignment of the assessment to the standards.

Each of the skills assessments are aligned to NASPE element 2.1 and 2.3. The units have been devised to be a representation of the skills and abilities that the candidate should be able to perform at a minimum competency as well are able to teach within a unit of study.

Alignment Chart to NASPE Standard and Elements

Activity Alignment to NASPE Standard/Elements Golf NASPE 2.1 Pickleball NASPE 2.1 and 2.3 Soccer NASPE 2.1 and 2.3 Volleyball NASPE 2.1 and 2.3 Basketball NASPE 2.1 and 2.3 Movement Pattern NASPE 2.1

3. Analysis of Data:

Data collected from the skills assessed in PEHD 222, 223, and 250 indicate that our candidates perform at the acceptable level of skills in pickleball, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and fundamental motor skills. Areas of golf were the only components that candidates could not achieve at the acceptable levels by the end of the semester. Candidates performed at the acceptable level for applying strategy during soccer, basketball, and volleyball games with few

Page 20: The College of Charleston

Assessment 2 pg. 2

scoring in the target range. A higher percentage of candidates performed at the acceptable level of skills assessment during the fundamental motor skills assessment then at the target range.

4. Interpretation of data

Candidates have the opportunity to experience a variety of activities through the PEHD 222, PEHD 223, and PEHD 250 courses. These are the courses where the primary load of skills assessment has been conducted. If candidates fall below the acceptable range they are allowed to retest that section up to the end of the course. If at that time they still cannot meet the expected level of performance they are advised to take an activity course specific to that skill. The activity that candidates needed more practice in was golf. The program has added an activity course for golf beginning Fall 2011. PEHD 250 is offered every third semester due to faculty workload. The program is investigating offering the course once a year to offset the PEHD 235 Motor Learning and Development course. Faculty has realized a greater benefit from the course when the candidates have the prior knowledge of both PEHD 235 and 250 prior to entering the junior level courses. The program practices a mastery approach to skill development therefore candidates that are not successful on a skills assessment has the opportunity to practice and retake the test before the end of the semester. Therefore the data indicates that candidates perform due to the amount of practice time allotted to them throughout the semester. Faculty must provide practice opportunities for candidates outside of class time.

Assessment 2 pg. 3 PEHD 222 Golf Skills Assessment- this assessment is conducted on the driving range. The class will hit balls until all candidates in the class have been assessed by the instructor. Candidates do not know when they are being assessed. They are told just to hit golf balls using an iron of their choice. The rubrics are reviewed by the candidates prior to the assessment. The course instructor evaluates each candidate.

During the game the player attempts to lead the pass, passing into open space and using the triangle formation to move the ball up the field.

During the game the player passes the ball into open space leading teammates to the ball. The triangle strategy is applied throughout the game.

Dribbling Strategy

NASPE 2.3

During the game, the player has difficulty maintaining control of the ball in order to gain the advantage for their team.

During the game the player uses the dribble to advance up the field and maintain control most of the time. The player is able to apply moves in order to avoid the opposing teams attackers.

During the game the player uses the dribble to advance the ball using moves to avoid attacking players. The player has multiple moves that are used to dribble under control dodging opposing players

Team Work

NASPE 2.3

Skill is not yet developed enough to consider team work rather the individual reacts to the ball not in an advantageous manner

Attempts to work with teammates to gain the advantage but skill is not quite developed enough yet to do it with consistency.

Works well with teammates to gain the advantage for team

4 - Arms drive forward and backward in

sagittal plane

Jumping

NASPE 2.1

Arms, limited in their swing and do not initiate jump action. Trunk at takeoff is propelled – vertical direction. Preparatory crouch is limited with regard to leg flexion.

Arms are used in jumping action. Preparatory crouch is deeper and more consistent – legs, hips, & ankles extend more at takeoff.

Arms move high and to the rear and then reach forward during takeoff. Trunk at takeoff is at approx. 45 degrees stressing horizontal direction. Preparatory crouch is deep and consistent. At landing body weight continues forward and downward.

1 - Hips/knees flex prior to take off

2 - Arms reach to head level

3 - Takes off and lands on both feet

simultaneously

4 - Lands on heels first

Hopping

The flexibility and movement that allows body parts to move away from the body center in a full range of motion.

Manipulative skills

Sidearm Striking

NASPE 2.1

The feet are stationary and trunk faces direction of toss. Elbows are fully flexed, and force is generated by extending the flexed joints in a downward plane. Trunk rotation is back to front and force generation from arms and wrists.

Upper body generated force. Trunk is turned to side of toss and weight shifts from rear foot to the forward foot just before contact. Trunk and hips rotate into ball during swing. Elbows less flexed and force is generated by extending the flexed joints

Stands sideways to path of tossed ball, shift weight to the rear foot and rotate the hips the shift weight toward the ball as it approaches. Striking occurs with arms extended in a long arc. Swing ends with swinging motion through the full range of motion and weight on the forward foot.

1 - Dominant hand on top

2 - Non-dominant side faces tosser

3 - Hip/trunk rotation

4 - Step with front foot on contact

Page 32: The College of Charleston

Assessment 2 pg. 14

Overhand Throwing

NASPE 2.1

Throwing action performed mainly from elbow and throw consists of pushing action. Trunk remains perpendicular to target throughout throw. Feet remain stationary.

Arm is swung in preparation, first sideward and then backward with elbow flexion and ball behind head. Trunk rotates toward throwing side then back toward non-throwing side. Same leg as throwing side moves forward.

Arm swings backward, elbow moves forward horizontally, thumb rotates in and downward, fingers remain close together. Trunk is markedly rotated to throwing side and the throwing shoulder drops slightly. Weight transferred to rear foot then to non-throwing side of body.

Some avoidance with arms held slightly bent in front of body. The hands are held in opposition to each other, fingers are extended and hands are close unevenly in a poorly timed motion.

No avoidance action and eyes follow ball to hands. Arms are bent at elbow, held relaxed at sides and give upon contact to absorb force. Hands are cupped an adjust depending upon the height of the ball.

1 - Elbows flexed

2 - Reaches for ball

3 - Ball is caught by the hands only

4 - Elbows bend to absorb force

Page 33: The College of Charleston

Limited movement of arms and trunk with an erect body. Kicking leg is limited to the backswing with very short forward swing, no follow-through. Rather than kick the leg moves through the ball.

No observable change in trunk action. Kicking leg brought backward in preparation for kick. Kicking leg tends to remain bent until the ball has been contacted.

Kicking leg is brought backward at the knee and hip with leg bent then forward until contact with the ball. Arm on kicking side swing forward to backward position the other arm moves sideward and forward. Trunk bends at waist and kicking leg movement is initiated at the hip with limited knee bend. Slight flight phase.

1 - Rapid and continuous approach to the ball

2 - Trunk leans back at contact

3 - Arm-kicking leg opposition at contact

4 - Hop on non-kicking foot after contact

Jump Rope Arm Component

NASPE 2.1

Elbows extend as arms swing downward; arms stop or pause at bottom of swing as child jumps or steps over the rope. Jump may be step-over or bilateral jump pattern.

Arm swing action primarily occurs at the shoulder, giving the appearance of “winging.” Action can be up and down or in a circular motion. Jumping becomes continuous.

Rope swing results primarily from action at the elbow, forearm, and/or wrist. Minimum motion occurs at the shoulder, with upper arms usually held near the side. Jumping is continuous.

Leg Component

NASPE 2.1

Elbows extend as arms swing downward; arms stop at bottom of swing. Jump is mistimed and rope hits feet or ankles.

Child steps through rope as it swings toward leg. Child transfers weight from one foot to other as rope passes under feet.

High Jump Child takes off from two feet and lands on two feet. Knees are flexed and feet are lifted well off ground. Landing may be loud.

Low Jump Jump is performed with minimal knee flexion. Landing is controlled and quiet.

Assessment 3 Lesson Plan

1. Description of the assessment and its use in the program. The lesson plan format is used throughout the candidate’s coursework beginning in the sophomore level class (PEHD 222 and 223) continuing into Clinical Practice. In the early courses the lesson planning activities are for lessons that will be taught to peers but in the methods class’s (PEHD 352, 452, 457, and EDFS 460) candidates develop lessons that will be taught in public schools during field experience and Clinical Practice. The lesson plan is developmental in nature. The primary focus in the sophomore classes is the development of objectives, assessment to match stated objectives, critical skills and teaching cues, and the selection of activities that will develop the objectives. Candidates receive feedback from both their lesson planning and teaching experience from the instructor immediately following the teaching episode. During the methods classes, candidates develop a lesson plan that aligns to the national, state, and local standards; safety; objectives; analysis of student learning; lesson content; transition/management plans; technology; safety; closure. Lesson planning is evaluated in conjunction with the teaching of the lesson. Therefore, both the lesson plan and the teaching are evaluated. How the lesson is evaluated is outlined in Assessment 4. The program requires that each candidate plan, teach, and be evaluated at least one lesson that integrates technology in each field placement (elementary, middle, and secondary school) and clinical practice. If technology is not available at the school the candidate is expected to make arrangements with the College to use/borrow appropriate equipment.

2. Alignment of the assessment to the standards. The chart below provides alignment of the lesson plan components with the NASPE/NCATE standards and elements.

Page 39: The College of Charleston

Assessment 3 pg. 2

3. Analysis of data: Lesson planning at the institution is based on mastery. Therefore candidates receive feedback on their planning process and are expected to make the necessary corrections to the lesson plan prior to the final evaluation. Based on the evaluation of lesson planning candidates are well versed in lesson planning by the time they reach clinical practice. All candidates scored in the acceptable or target levels. All candidates during this evaluation period scored in the target range at planning demonstrations and providing the appropriate prompts and teaching cues. The candidates also planned in the target level for the lesson that integrated technology into the lesson. The candidates in EDFS 460 planned specific critical elements that aligned with the skill development of the students.

4. Interpretation of data: Candidates do well in the planning process during EDFS

460 clinical practice. The faculty continues to work on the rubric to develop a rubric that reflects that planning process and aligns with the NASPE standards. After the data was collected and analyzed for this report further development of the rubric has happened to more precisely define the unacceptable range for some contextual factors. It was felt during data analysis that some of the criteria made it easy for candidates to meet the acceptable range rather than the unacceptable range due to the criteria set forth under the category. It was determined that candidates from the program are strong planners and the fact that the template for the lesson plan is introduced in the sophomore year at a developmentally appropriate level and the planning process evolves as the candidates grows into a young professional allows the candidates to develop strong skills in this area. The program will continue to monitor the planning skills of candidates throughout their program of study. Candidates use reflection throughout their teaching. Beginning in the sophomore level classes candidates are required to complete reflections 24 hours after teaching episodes. The program feels that since candidates are taught to reflect so early in the program that by clinical practice it is a natural occurrence in their teaching.

Lesson Plan Outline Contextual Information Class/Location _______________ Number of Students in Class ___________ Length of Lesson ___________ Focus ___________ Standards: (NASPE 3.2) Align the National Standards, State Standards, and Local Standards that you will be covering/addressing in your lesson. These standards must align to the objectives you designed for the lesson. Use the table to ensure alignment Objective National Standard State Standard Local Standard Materials/Equipment: What will you need for this class This may be filled in after the lesson has been planned. You will not know what equipment you will need until you have planned your activities Safety (NASPE 3.5, 4.5)

• Are there any safety procedures that will be followed or discussed during class based on the activities and the class routines and rules? List any such discussions, be specific.

• Safety is based on the rule, routines or transition plans you have in place to ensure that the class is safe and the environment is conducive to learning for all students.

• Outline any specific safety plans for students with exceptionalities Objective: (NASPE 3.2 and 4.6) Objectives are the specific behaviors that will be the focus of your lesson. These objectives need to align with the standards and will guide the instructional and assessment components of each lesson. Each objective need to address the following:

1. Objectives must be observable, measurable, teachable, and performance based. (NAPSE 3.2)

2. Objectives must be developmentally appropriate for the grade/age and skill level of the students (NASPE 3.2)

3. Objectives must align to National, State, and Local standards. (NASPE 3.2) 4. All lessons should address the following domains:

a. Psychomotor b. Cognitive c. Affective (NASPE 4.6) d. Fitness

Each objective is written using the ABCD’s of objective writing

Page 41: The College of Charleston

Assessment 3 pg. 4

A – audience B – describe the desired behavior C – condition under which the behavior will occur D – the degree the behavior is expected to be performed at Analysis of Student Learning (NASPE Std. 1.5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3) Although assessment may fall throughout your teaching episode, on the lesson plan it is listed immediately following objectives. This is to ensure that the objectives align with the planned assessment. The purpose of assessment is to understand how students performed specific to the objectives you designed for the lesson. Assessment will assist with future curricular decisions based on the information collected. The method you select to assess will be dependent on the unit and the objectives.

1. Identify the type of assessment used to measure student performance specific to objectives designed (NASPE 5.1)

2. Assessment aligns with the objectives and is objective in nature (NAPSE 5.1) 3. Identifies that assessment is ongoing throughout the lesson (beginning – mid-

end). (NAPSE 5.2) 4. Allows for analysis of critical elements of skill development (NASPE 1.5) 5. Data is used for meaningful reflection and decision making throughout the

lesson and in the future. (NAPSE 5.3) Instructional Plan Lesson Content In this section you must outline the scope and sequence of your lesson. This lesson is planned on being one within a unit of study. When designing the activities for the lesson keep in mind the objectives you developed and the standards they address. Ask yourself throughout your lesson “Am I meeting my objectives?” Introduction/Warm Up (NASPE 3.3)

• The why part of the lesson, be brief, get the kids moving. Do not go into specifics of the skill or activities they will be participating in during class. The students will never remember. They just want to start to move. (May introduce the lesson or include it with the warm up activity)

• Activity based not static(warm up the muscles and movements the students will be using in class) GET THEM MOVING – may want to address the fitness domain within the warm up

• From the moment they enter the gymnasium create an environment that is conducive to learning. List ways you plan on creating this environment.

• Does the planned warm up prepare the students for the skills or activities that will be engaged in during the practice time of the class? What muscle groups need to be warmed up or other objectives you will be addressing during this portion of the class?

Practice Time (NASPE 1.2, 1.3, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 4.2) This section will have multiple practice activities planned throughout the lesson. Each one must be addressed fully in this section. You may number them in the order they occur. Each activity selected must follow the format below.

1. planned practice time activities must directly align to objectives (NASPE 3.3) a. make sure all objectives are addressed through planned activities so

students will have time to practice the skills b. make sure all objectives have a planned assessment piece so you will

be able to address if the students were able to meet the objective or not c. provide adequate practice time for students to develop the desired

skills (NASPE 3.4) 2. all activities must be thoroughly described with diagrams (if necessary) to

provide direction (if you weren’t there could the music teacher teach this lesson based on your description?) specific to the organization and classroom environment

3. make sure the progression is sequential in nature (start simple and move to more complex) (NASPE 1.2, 1.3, 3.6)

4. plan for a modified or culminating activity for the students. 5. provide opportunities that ensure students are active throughout class, provide

alternative choices to allow for adaptations and challenges to occur to ensure a productive learning environment for all students (NASPE 3.5,3.6)

Challenge (C) • Each activity must identify how you plan to challenge the students

who can complete the activity. This may be accomplished by changing the size of the ball or target or increasing the number you expect them to complete.

Page 43: The College of Charleston

Assessment 3 pg. 6

Adaptations (A) • Each activity must have a plan on how to adjust the original activity

to allow students who need more practice time or can not complete the activity at the level you have planned. You must make accommodations to address the variety of student ability levels within the class.

6. Activities planned will provide a physically and emotionally safe environment.

a. Appropriate plan is provided to divide students into groups (NASPE 3.4)

b. Appropriate plan is provided to provide a multitude of equipment choices for students. (NASPE 3.4)

7. plan for demonstration of skills or concepts occurring during the class, us the

teaching (instructional) cues listed in the skill development section (NASPE 4.2)

*8. plan to use technology to enhance this lesson so that the objectives can be met? (NASPE 3.7) * NOTE: #8 criteria – at least one lesson plan and teaching evaluation must integrate technology into the class. The expectation is that #8 may not apply to every lesson taught.

Management/Transition plan (M) (NASPE 4.5) Time is limited therefore it is imperative that we are effective and efficient with the instructional time we have with the students. This section will accompany each practice time activity planned and will be identified on the lesson plan beginning with an M. Under the M you must address:

1. Transitions are planned to create a safe and effective learning environment (NASPE 4.5)

2. Identify the beginning signal the students are use to, identify the ending signal the students are use to (in case you aren’t there another teacher will be able to use your rules and routines)

3. Outline the rules for distribution/collection of equipment, making teams/groups, water and toilet breaks during class time etc. (NASPE 4.5)

4. Keep the transitions short and effective. Cool Down Ensure you plan for a cool down. This may be covered under practice time activities when you develop the scope and sequence of activities. Relate the cool down to the activities/skills/concepts and muscle movements addressed during the class time. Closure Every class must plan for time to bring closure to the class. This is a good time to:

Page 44: The College of Charleston

Assessment 3 pg. 7

1. Summarize the lesson with any key points, cues that were discussed 2. Check for student understanding 3. Link the activities/skills/concepts to the outside world that way students can

practice the skills outside of class time 4. Make sure all the objectives have been addressed, some may need to be

addressed during the closure section of the lesson Reflection (NASPE 5.3) Feedback is provided by the supervising teacher immediately following the lesson. A reflection is due the day after you have taught. Each teaching episode is videotaped so the candidate is expected to watch the video and use the feedback from the teacher as they reflect on their teaching.

• Reflect on the objectives you designed for the lesson, were they developmentally appropriate for the students/class

• Reflect on the learning opportunities for ALL students in the class • Reflect on the assessment component of the lesson, was change

necessary to improve student learning and achieve instructional goals? Did the students achieve the objectives?

• Did your lesson enhance student learning? • Discuss the management of the lesson. Was the management

techniques used able to allow the lesson to be effective and efficient?

Clinical Practice Evaluation

Narrative

1. Description of the assessment and its use in the program: Clinical practice EDFS 460 is the culminating experience after they complete all the course requirements for their degree. The state evaluation system ADEPT is South Carolina's system for assisting, developing, and evaluating professional teaching. Based on state expectations (i.e., the ADEPT Performance Standards) that are aligned with nationally recognized professional standards, the ADEPT system forms a seamless continuum for educators throughout the entirety of their careers. In addition to applications for classroom-based teachers, the ADEPT system also includes standards and models for assisting, developing, and evaluating special area educators. Our candidates must complete the requirements for the state system but the state evaluation system does not directly align with the NASPE standards therefore the program has developed an addendum to the state system in order to evaluate candidates for this review. The rubric and data table provided in this assessment are from the addendum. The state system is generic in nature and is based on a met/not met performance criteria. Candidates completing clinical practice from our program select one environment (elementary, middle, or secondary) and complete 15 weeks under the direction of a mentoring teaching and college supervisor. The candidate is formally evaluated a minimum of 4 times throughout the experience. During the on site evaluation the candidate is expected to submit a lesson plan (assessment 3) that coincides with the teaching episode. This allows the mentoring teaching and the college supervisor to evaluate the candidate’s abilities to plan and implement lessons. The clinical practice evaluation instrument is adopted from Winthrop University and the program has permission to use the evaluation form.

2. Alignment of the assessment to the standards: The chart below provides alignment of the clinical practice evaluation with the NASPE/NCATE standards and elements.

Domains Alignment with NASPE/NCATE Standards and Elements

Domain I – Planning NASPE 3.2,3.4,3.5,3.6,5.1,5.2 Domain II – Instruction NASPE 1.1,3.2,3.3,3.7,4.1,4.4,5.1,5.2,5.3,6.1 Domain III – Classroom Management NASPE 4.5,4.6 Domain IV – Professionalism NASPE 4.1,5.3,6.2,6.3,6.4 Domain V – Content Specialty NASPE 1.2,1.3,1.5,3.1,4.2,4.3,6.4

3. Analysis of data: The data presented in this report is the final evaluation of the candidate in their clinical experience. Candidates scored in the acceptable range in each of the Domains. Candidates scored highest in Domain IV – Professionalism. Analysis of data suggests that candidates scored in the acceptable range for management but with the lowest overall score. Data suggests that candidates are comfortable with the planning and instruction aspects of teaching and are well qualified in the specific content area of the evaluation.

Page 57: The College of Charleston

Assessment 4 pg. 2

4. Interpretation of data: The data reported is the final evaluation of candidates during clinical practice. The data supports that our candidates are well prepared for their first jobs. Although the faculty found the interpretation of this data helpful the program has since started to analyze data from the other 3 evaluations during clinical practice to see if there were any areas of concerns during their first evaluation and determine if growth is occurring through the clinical practice experience. Faculty is interested to see if there are areas of concern during their first evaluation which may be addressed in earlier field experiences. For example, are candidates not as prepared in instruction during the first evaluation and more focus needs to be on that area during early field experiences.

1. Develops learning objectives which are appropriate for the subject and grade level, and are connected appropriately to the standards.

NASPE 3.2

Objectives are inappropriate for the subject area/developmental level of learners by being either too difficult or too easy for students. Objectives are not stated in measurable terms, do not include criteria, and/or are not appropriately connected to the standards.

Objectives are appropriate for subject area/developmental level of learners, are connected appropriately to the standards, and provide appropriate challenges for students (tasks are neither too easy nor too difficult). Objectives are measurable and most objectives identify criteria.

Objectives are appropriate for the subject area/developmental level of learners, are explicitly connected to the standards and provide appropriate challenges for students (tasks are neither too easy nor too difficult). Objectives incorporate multiple domains of learning or content areas. Objectives are measurable and each contains criteria for student mastery.

2. Plans appropriate and logically sequenced instructional strategies.

NASPE 3.6

Instructional strategies are incongruent with objectives. Some strategies are developmentally inappropriate. The sequence of the lesson may be illogical, with gaps in progressions. Learning/practice tasks are arranged randomly in the lesson with steps between progressions either too large or too small to facilitate skill mastery. TC fails to plan learning experiences based on pre-assessment data. Grouping of students is random and does not reflect a specific instructional rationale.

Most instructional strategies are congruent with objectives. The sequence of the lesson(s) is logical, with few gaps in progressions. Learning/practice tasks are arranged in sequential and progressive steps to facilitate learning. TC plans and implements learning experiences based on pre-assessment data. Students are grouped based on pre-assessment or other specific rationale.

Instructional strategies are consistenty congruent with objectives. All strategies are developmentally appropriate and address a variety of student needs. The sequence of the lesson is logical with no gaps in progressions. . Learning/practice tasks allow students to begin and end at different levels based on individual readiness. Progressions are sequential and progressive with opportunities for students to extend tasks to increase or decrease the challenge. TC plans and implements learning experiences based on pre-assessment data. Students are grouped or paired based on specific instructional rationale.

Page 65: The College of Charleston

Assessment 4 pg. 10 3. Plans for differences in individual needs, abilities, and interests.

NASPE 3.5

TTC does not plan or minimally plans for adaptation for individual differences (abilities/needs/interests). Instruction is not individualized and a “one size fits all” approach is taken. TC uses one instructional model/approach throughout the lesson. TC fails to adapt or provide accommodations based on individual differences or unique needs of students.

Most plans include instructional adaptations for individual differences (all levels) based on differing abilities for at least one student. Student needs (e.g. motivation or interest) are addressed in plans. Candidate can articulate an appropriate rationale for adaptations. TC uses multiple instructional models/approaches throughout the lesson to account for variations in learning styles and prior experiences, and/or physical differences. TC plans and implements strategies that allow for individual differences in skill ability levels.

The plans routinely reflect sophisticated adaptations for abilities (all levels) and needs (interests and motivation) with a sound rationale. Adaptations are for students with identified disabilities as well as others who have learning problems and/or who are gifted.

TC uses multiple instructional models/approaches throughout the lesson to account for variations in learning styles and prior experiences. Students are given multiple choices within practice tasks based on individual differences.

4. Plans for appropriate assessment, analysis of results, and maintenance of records.

NASPE 5.1 & 5.2

No evidence (or minimal evidence) of planning for formal or informal assessment. No plan for record keeping or analysis of data. Assessments are not aligned with lesson objectives and/or goals. Learning/practice opportunities are not based on pre-assessments and students’ developmental levels. Assessment (formal and informal) is not continuous. Assessment results are not reflected in the modification or adaptation of lesson. TC does not keep records of assessment results and relies on “eye balling” of skill levels.

Appropriate strategies to assess student learning are used (paper and pencil tests, observational checklists, etc) regularly. Planned assessments are appropriate for the lesson and/or goals and measure student achievement of objectives/goals. Some analysis of results is noted. Student progress is recorded and results used to make subsequent changes. Learning/practice opportunities are based on pre-assessments and students’ developmental levels. Assessment (formal and informal) is on-going. Adaptations and modifications of lessons are based on assessments.

Assessment planning reflects sophisticated use of assessments. On-going assessments as well as summative and formative assessments are used in many contexts. Record keeping provides detailed information on students and can be transformed into a format that is accessible to others (e.g. parents/administrators). Assessments are aligned with objective and/or goals and measure student achievement of objectives/goals. Learning/practice opportunities are based on pre-assessment and students’ developmental levels. Assessment (formal and informal) is continuous.

Assessment 4 pg. 11

Adaptations and modification of lessons can be directly linked to assessment.

5. Plans lessons that demonstrate a respect and understanding for cultural and linguistic diversity*.

NASPE 3.4

Instruction and plans do not reflect (or minimally reflect) the cultural diversity *and linguistic needs of the students in the classroom. Plan for lesson fails to reflect an active, fair and equitable learning environment. TC demonstrates behaviors that reflect bias towards high/low skilled students; gender preference; class differences and/or other defining characteristics of students in the class (ESL, race, etc.). Plan for lesson does not reduce wait time or encourage active participation for all students.

Cultural and linguistic diversity* of the students in the class is addressed either through instructional content, strategies, and/or materials. TC’s plan for lesson creates an active, fair and equitable learning environment. TC plans for active participation by all students by reducing wait time. All students have equal number of practice or play opportunities. TC candidates demonstrate no behaviors that can be interpreted as favoring students based skill, gender, class or other defining characteristics.

Extensive efforts are made to meet the cultural and linguistic diversity* of the students in the classroom through a variety of ways: instructional content, strategies and materials. TC creates an active, fair and equitable learning environment by reducing wait time, providing numerous practice opportunities for all students, and having specific rationale for grouping or pairing students. All students are equally encouraged and feedback is provided to all students.

7. Establishes, communicates, and maintains high expectations for student achievement and participation. Students are given opportunities and support to assume responsibility for their own learning.

NASPE 6.1

The teacher candidate does not communicate and/or design experiences that encourage student participation and learning in a challenging, yet supportive environment. Students do not recognize their role in the learning environment and the teacher candidate’s expectations for achievement.TC demonstrates behaviors that indicate preference for highly skilled students. Students are given fewer practice opportunities based on skill level. No adaptations are made to lesson to increase opportunities for underperforming students. TC makes all decisions and only the command teaching approach is used throughout the lesson. Students are given no opportunity to demonstrate self or social responsibility.

The teacher candidate communicates and designs some experiences that encourage student participation and learning in a challenging, yet supportive environment. Students recognize their role in the learning environment and the teacher candidate’s expectations for achievement. TC provides an equal number of practice/play opportunities to all students. Modifications are made to practice tasks for underperforming students. Feedback is provided equally to students.

Narrative

Unit Work Sample (UWS)

1. Description of the assessment and its use in the program: The Unit Work Sample (UWS) is a unit assessment that has been modified to align with the NASPE standards/elements. This assignment is completed during Clinical Practice (EDFS460) by all the candidates within the School of Education. Our candidates complete clinical practice in one location therefore this assignment is completed based on the age range selected by the placement. The candidate is expected to plan a minimum of a 10 lesson unit, with the first class being a pre-assessment and the last class being post assessment. It is expected that other assessments are planned throughout unit but they will be conducted based on the necessity and at the candidate discretion not prescribed. The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate the candidate’s ability to plan short and long term, implement the plan, assess impact on student learning, analyze data, modify instruction based on data assessment, and reflect on instructional decision making.

2. Alignment of the assessment to the standards: The chart below provides alignment of the UWS with the NCATE/NASPE Standards/elements.

3. Analysis of data: Analysis of data from the UWS indicated that our candidates perform at the acceptable level in all criteria components evaluated by the college supervisor with regards to completing the unit work sample. The criteria that candidates consistently scored in the target range were using multiple assessments and reflection. The program analyzed data across both semesters to find correlations between similar areas of concern but there did not appear to be an area that candidates scored low in both semesters. The data consistently scored in the acceptable range or higher in all areas assessed by the rubric.

4. Interpretation of data: The program analyzed the data across both semesters to see if commonalities appeared between similar areas of concern. With such a small sample size, and only two semesters of data there did not appear to be areas that appeared weak in both semesters. The program does practice mastery of all assignments therefore candidates cannot score below the acceptable level. If they do they are required to redo the area until it reaches the acceptable level. Candidates in the program between the analysis of student learning when they are working with peers in the sophomore levels classes to develop the inquisitor skills to determine that they lessons/teaching is having an impact and students are learning. The program feels that the program has cultivated an environment of assessment within their candidates and that assessment and reflection are part of their teaching. The program will continue to develop the assessment skills of its candidates beginning at the sophomore level in developmentally appropriate activities so that strong assessment skills will continue to be a part of candidate’s teaching experience.

UNIT WORK SAMPLES

About Unit Work Samples The purpose of the School of Education, Health and Human Performance’s unit work sample is to demonstrate and document the intern’s effectiveness in promoting student achievement. In the context of the unit work sample, student achievement is defined as measurable growth in students’ knowledge and skills in a particular area or areas over a specified period of time. The unit work sample provides the evidence regarding the intern’s performance relative to APSs 2 and 3.

The unit work sample was adapted from the South Carolina State Education Department’s SAFE-T Pilot Project which was adapted from The Renaissance Partnership for Improving Teacher Quality Project (http://fp.uni.edu/itq).

Each unit work sample (UWS) includes the following sections:

UWS Section I: Unit Topic or Title. The unit (i.e., a set of integrated lessons designed to align to the standards in a logical progression and accomplish learning objectives related to a curricular theme, a particular area of knowledge, or a general skill or process) is drawn from the long-range plan. The unit must be completed in its entirety, from beginning to end, during clinical practice and must last for a minimum of ten or more lessons. In rare instances where an intern is unable to design a unit that is ten or more lessons in length, the intern must request approval from his/her college supervisor to select two instructional units to complete during the internship. In this event, the entire unit work sample process must be followed for each unit of instruction.

UWS Section II: Contextual Factors. The contextual factors include the relevant student characteristics described in the long-range plan as well as any other factors related to the community, district, school, classroom, or students that are likely to impact instruction and/or student learning with regard to the selected instructional unit. This section also includes a description of the ways in which each of these factors will be taken into consideration during unit planning and instruction. UWS Section III: Unit Plan

Part A. This part of the UWS includes the unit objectives (i.e., what the students are expected to know and to be able to do at the end of the unit) and the correlated standards or expectations. Objectives must cover all the domains (psychomotor, cognitive, affective, and fitness). The objectives must be developmentally appropriate based on the age, grade, and skill level of the students. The objectives must be measurable and teachable and align to standards and assessment plan. Multiple types of assessment are planned throughout the unit of instruction. NASPE 3.2 and 5.1

Part B. This part of the UWS includes the planned assessments (pre-, mid, post-, and other) that will be used to measure student progress and achievement. This section also includes descriptions of any necessary accommodations as well as the evaluation criteria for each student assessment. All objectives outlined in Part A must have an assessment plan. A variety of

Page 89: The College of Charleston

Assessment 5 pg. 4

assessment types must be planned (formal, informal, summative, and formative) and implemented throughout the unit of instruction. NASPE 3.5, 5.2

Part C. This part of the UWS includes the results and analyses of the pre-assessments. Provide accommodations were used to address the needs of the students in the class. NASPE 3.5

Part D. This part of the UWS includes the key instructional activities, strategies, materials, and resources (including instructional technology) and their related unit objectives. A justification is provided outlining the decision making process to select the activities reflecting an opportunity to enhance student learning. Add all the lesson plans that went into the unit of study. The lesson plans will be evaluated using Assessment 3 – Lesson Plans. Teaching of the designed lesson plan will be evaluated using assessment 4 – clinical practice evaluation. NASPE 3.1, 5.3 Part E: This part of the UWS will discuss how the instruction within the unit is aligned to learning goals. Provide justification for decisions within the scope and sequence of unit planning and individual instruction of students. Discuss how pre assessment data was used to provide a starting point for instruction within the unit. NASPE 3.3, 3.6

Part F: This part of the UWS will provide a plan for all the types of planned assessment on how data is going to be collected, analyzed, and stored. Explain how data will be reported back to students to provide feedback specific to their learning within the unit of instruction. Reflect on the method of data collection and how it impacted instruction. Reflect on data collection and the methods chosen, might they have been done in a different, more fair, or equitable manner so that it enhanced student learning? NASPE 3.4, 3.7, 5.3

UWS Section IV: Analysis of Student Learning. This section includes one or more visual representations (e.g., tables, graphs, charts) that depict student performance (a) for the entire class, (b) for one selected subgroup, and (c) for at least two individual students. Each visual representation is accompanied by a descriptive narrative that summarizes the analysis of student progress and achievement. Finally, this section includes an explanation of the ways in which student grades or other indicators of student performance have been assigned and recorded as well as how and to whom these results (i.e., grades or other indicators) have been reported. NASPE 5.1 and 5.3 UWS Section V: Reflection and Self-Assessment. This section includes a description of the relationship between the students’ progress and achievement and the candidate’s performance. The candidate must describe their teaching specific to the goals set forth and reflect on any changes that resulted from data collected through the planned assessments. The section also includes a description of future plans for teaching. NASPE 5.3

Fitness Based Competence

1. Description of the assignment

Our program selected the Presidents Challenge Adult Fitness Test. This decision was made by the Physical Education Teacher Education Committee. The committee selected this specific fitness assessment based on the practical and realistic assessment of candidate’s fitness it provided. The fitness assessment is comprised of four areas: 1. Aerobic fitness; 2. Muscular strength and endurance; 3. Flexibility; and 4. Body composition. The candidates complete all components of the fitness assessment in the fall semester of their sophomore year in PEHD 222 Analysis and Conduct of Individual Activities, fall semester of their junior year in PEHD 352 Elementary Physical Education; and fall semester of their senior year in PEHD 457 in Adapted Physical Education. If a candidate is does not meet the acceptable level of performance they are able to retest on the specific area(s) that they did not achieve by the end of the semester. If at the end of the semester an area of the fitness assessment is not achieved a referral plan is developed between the candidate and the instructor. If a candidate misses the class when the assessment is conducted they are responsible to make alternative arrangements with the instructor to complete the assessment. Alternative arrangements are available for individuals who have a documented disability which would inhibit them from participating in this assessment. To date there have been no candidate’s that have been unable to participate in the fitness assessment. The aerobic run is conducted on the indoor track on campus, the strength/endurance and flexibility assessments are conducted in the gymnasium, and the body composition assessment is conducted in the exercise physiology lab. The instructor supervises all assessments and records all data. The instructor enters all data into the website and runs reports on each candidate. The instructor shares the results of the fitness test with the candidate’s and when necessary will have a meeting to discuss the results and plan a program for improvement.

I. Aerobic Fitness:

Candidates must run 1.5 miles. This assessment is conducted at the indoor track on campus. Candidates count laps for each other but the official time is kept by the instructor.

II. Muscular Strength and Endurance

Half sit up – partner counts, instructor monitors the time

a. Lie face-up on mat or rug with knees at a right angle (that is, 90º) and feet flat on the ground. The feet are not held down.

b. Place hands palms facing down on the mat or rug with the fingers touching the first piece of tape.

c. Flatten your lower back to the mat or rug, and half sit-up so that your fingers move from the first piece of tape to the second. Then return your shoulders to the mat or rug and repeat the movement as described. Your head does not have to touch the surface. Keep your lower back flat on the mat or rug during the movements – if you arch your back, it can cause injury.

Page 106: The College of Charleston

Assessment 6 pg. 2

d. Your partner will count the number of half sit-ups performed in one minute. Pace yourself so you can do half sit-ups for one minute.

e. Record your results.

Standard or Modified Push Up – partners count, instructor monitors the participants and records the scores

a. Males start in the standard push-up position (elevated). Hands should be shoulder width apart, arms extended straight out under the shoulders, back and legs in a straight line, and toes curled under. Females do a modified push-up with knees bent and touching the floor. Starting in the up position, hands should be slightly ahead of the shoulders so hands are in the proper position for the downward motion.

b. Lower until the chest is about 2 inches from the floor and rise up again. c. Perform the test until you cannot complete any more push-ups while keeping your back

straight and, if you are a male, keeping the legs straight as well. The key to completing the test properly is to maintain a rigid position and keep the back flat. If necessary, you can take a brief rest in the up position (not lying on the floor).

d. Record your results.

III. Flexibility – Sit and Reach Test – instructor conducts this assessment on each candidate a. Perform a series of static stretches. These stretches should focus on stretching the trunk and legs. Following

the stretches, you may also want to do some brisk walking. b. Place a yardstick on the floor and put a long piece of masking tape over the 15 inch mark at a right angle to

the yardstick. c. Remove your shoes and sit on the floor with the yardstick between the legs (0 mark close to your crotch), with

your feet about 12 inches apart. Heels should be at the 14 inch mark at the start of the stretch to account for the fact that the legs tend to move forward when performing the stretch.

d. With the fingertips in contact with the yardstick, slowly stretch forward with both hands as far as possible noting where the fingertips are to the closest inch. Exhaling when you stretch forward and dropping the head may allow you to stretch a bit further. Do not use fast and sudden motions, which can injure your hamstring muscles.

e. Perform the stretch three times with a few seconds of rest between stretches. f. Record the best measurement.

IV. Body Composition Body Mass Index (BMI): BMI is a number that is based on a person's weight and height. It can be used to identify people at risk for some health problems. 1 Higher BMI values indicate greater weight per unit of height.

BMI is related to the risk of disease and death. The score is valid for both men and women, but it does have some limitations,

• 1. It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build, and

• 2. It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle mass. Waist Circumference can serve as another indicator for some health risks for individuals who may have a BMI classification of normal or overweight (a BMI score between 18.5 and 29.9). A high waist circumference is associated with an increased risk for type 2 diabetes, elevated blood lipids (fats like cholesterol and triglycerides), hypertension, and cardiovascular disease in patients with a BMI between 25 and 34.9. 2 Recording changes over time in waist circumference is important since it can change even when body weight remains the same.

All data from the 4 assessments are inputted into a data form located at http://www.adultfitnesstest.org/dataEntry.aspx

Assessment 6 pg. 4

3. Data Analysis

The program has conducted the fitness assessment during two fall semesters. Thus there has not been a cohort of candidates that have been assessed at all three levels (sophomore, junior and senior years) of their program of study. Candidates are not officially accepted into the Physical Education program until junior year (PEHD 352) therefore the individuals assessed in PEHD 222 have indicated their intent to apply for the physical education teacher education program but for various reasons they may not gain acceptance. All candidates not meeting the acceptable level of performance were notified and a plan of action was developed. Some candidates choose to enroll in various activity based courses to improve their area of deficiency on the fitness assessment. The data reported in this report was from candidate’s first attempt. Although candidates that were not successful on their first attempt were required to redo the fitness test in the components that they did not pass, the data was not reported in this report. Due to the number of candidates not passing at various components, the program has added a weight training course to the list of possible electives for students to take.

4. Data Interpretation

The program selected this fitness assessment based on its specific alignment to gender and age of the candidate. We felt that at the time, this was the most relative fitness assessment available for our candidates. Initially when the faculty designed this assignment to meet NASPE 2.2 the candidate levels of performance were categorized generically i.e., acceptable – perform average or higher on 3 out of the 4 fitness components. After the first administration of this assessment and the analysis of data it was determined that the data was not meaningful so the program changed its expected levels of candidate performance. The data table and analysis represents the changed levels of expectations. The fitness assessment is conducted at the beginning of the semester so there is time for candidates to re-test if needed.

The biggest surprise to the PETE faculty when analyzing the data was the poor performance of candidates in the flexibility component. Prior to viewing the results faculty had discussed how to implement opportunities for candidates in the other fitness components assessed. Very little time was spent discussing methods to improve flexibility. When data was analyzed and the area candidates scored below average in the most was flexibility faculty had a lengthy discussion and determined that a conscious effort needed to be placed in each class to provide opportunities to increase flexibility. Not only were physical opportunities offered but the importance of flexibility was also discussed in numerous classes. The faculty felt that if candidates appreciated the value of flexibility they would make an effort to increase theirs and make it a valuable component of their teaching experience.

Page 109: The College of Charleston

IEP

Narrative

1. Description of the assessment and its use in the program: The IEP assignment is used in PEHD 457 Adapted Physical Education Field Experience. During their field experience candidates attend a local high school and work with the self-contained special education classes. The class meets at the High School at the same time each week and works individually with a small group of high school students. Depending on the number of students in the class the group size is usually 2-3 special education students for one college student. The professor of the class is always present during the field experience time. The class meets for the semester. Candidates complete a pre-assessment during the first visit. Based on the data collected during the pre-assessment, the candidates develop long and short term goals for the students. Candidates develop lesson plans and complete a reflective log weekly. The field experience comprises 12 weeks, 1 one pre-assessment, 10 weeks teaching, and 1 week post assessment. The post assessment is used to evaluate how the students in relation to the long and short term goals set forth at the beginning of the IEP. The candidate must complete weekly lesson plans (see Assessment 3) which are evaluated by the college supervisor and is assessed on their teaching (see Assessment 4) but both of those experiences are evaluated separate from the IEP assignment.

2. Alignment of the assessment to the standards:

development piece of the assignment. Long and short term goals were at the acceptable range with few scoring in the target range.

4. Interpretation of data: - Candidates performed at the acceptable level for the description of the student. Candidates must focus more on getting to know their students during the first visit. The program has since made the candidates go to the high school prior to the pre assessment to spend some time with their student prior to week 1. The candidates must also talk to the teacher and aide in the class to gain insight into their student. The candidates need to continue to work on developing long term goals and short term goals that directly align with the long term goals. Candidates scored in the acceptable range with few scoring in the target range. The candidates need to gain more experience in order to develop better understanding of scope and sequence of curriculum development. The candidates need more exposure to different methods of graphing and data representation. The candidates take PEHD 431 Research Methods Fall semester of their junior year but there did not seem to be adequate carry over into this assignment. The faculty have discussed with the instructor of that course some of the trends identified in this assignment that need to be addressed. The PEHD 431 class is a required course for PETE candidates and Health Promotion students.

Part III : Long and Short Term Goal (NASPE 3.1) Long term goals – you must develop at least 3 long term goals. The long term goal is something that the student will be working toward throughout the year. At least two of the goals need to be based on the physical domain and goal needs to align with the affective (social) domain. The goals should align to the data collected on the pre-assessment. Short term goals – you must develop at least 2 short term goals for each long term goal. The short term goals are what you will be working toward during the next 10 weeks that you will be working with them. The goals should align to the data collected on the pre-assessment. Part IV: Curriculum Development (see Assessment 3 for the alignment of the lesson plan to NASPE standards/elements) – you will have 10 lessons to work with the student on the goals and objectives you designed in Part III.

a. Curriculum mapping – provide an outline of the topics of instruction for the 12 weeks. The progression of skills development must indicate developmentally appropriate practices and adequate scope and sequence development.

b. Lesson Plans – the final report must include the 10 lesson plans you developed over the course of the semester. The lesson plans must follow the program format for lesson plans (see Assessment 3).

Part V : Post Assessment (NASPE 5.1, 5.2) – on the 10 week you will conduct a post assessment using the APEAS II. Refer back to Part II to review any accommodations that occurred during the pre-assessment or any other issues or concerns that arose at that time.

a. Assessments – describe each assessment (you may get this out of the manual for the assessment discussed in lecture). Discuss any issues that occurred with the assessment or modification that occurred.
