SoE: Candidate Progress Monitoring
Faculty in the IUE School of Education are dedicated to the goal of preparing high quality teachers to work in community schools. Each of our Teacher Education Program exceeds state and national expectations for a College of Education and our teachers are sought out by local school districts as employment opportunities become available.
To ensure the ongoing quality of our work, the faculty has created a model for assessment which is used to monitor student progress and program effectiveness. Various assessment techniques are utilized to provide information during the ongoing evaluation of each student’s individual achievement. In addition to traditional methods of standardized teacher assessment, student progress and strengths are evaluated using directed self-reflection and authentic work such as professional observation and documented application of practical skills during extensive hours of field work.
As part of a network of Teacher Colleges, the following National, State, and University standards have guided the development of the IUE School of Education Assessment Model:
- Interstate New Teacher Assessment & Support Consortium (INTASC) principles used by the Indiana Division of Professional Standards (DPS)
- Indiana University East Learning Objectives
- Division of Education Conceptual Framework
SoE: Examination Requirements
State requirements for teacher licensing periodically change to coincide with state education legislation and policy. In response to state fluctuations, the IUE School of Education chose to encorporate state licensing requirements into our assessment model. Thus, upon completion, IUE School of Education candidates will meet state requirements regardless of date of entry into one of our programs. This assurance requires each candidate to receive passing scores on the following teaching exams given by Educational Testing Services [ETS]
- Praxis I (PPST / CBT) - passing scores required for Admission to Teacher Education and licensing by the state of Indiana
- Praxis II (Specialty Exams) - passing scores required prior to graduation from an IUE Teacher Education Program
- Praxis II # 0353 (Education of Exceptional Students: Core Content Knowledge) - passing score required before admission into student teaching
