Grambling State University Standard Three Compendium 2 R3.2 Academic Achievement and Support

Alignment to National Standard: R3.2 The provider creates and monitors transition points from admission through completion that indicate candidates’ developing content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, pedagogical skills, critical dispositions, professional responsibilities, and the ability to integrate technology effectively in their practice. The provider identifies a transition point at any point in the program when a cohort grade point average of 3.0 is achieved and monitors this data.

The provider ensures knowledge of and progression through transition points are transparent to candidates. The provider plans and documents the need for candidate support, as identified in disaggregated data by race and ethnicity and such other categories as may be relevant for the EPP’s mission, so candidates meet milestones. The provider has a system for effectively maintaining records of candidate complaints, including complaints made to CAEP, and documents the resolution.

How Alignment is assured: The Assessment Coordinator, in consultation with Program Leads and Department Heads, aligns the evaluation measures and assessment tasks with CAEP, InTASC, and appropriate Technology Standards. The Assessment Coordinator maintains alignments and adherence to multiple Louisiana state laws and policy regulations. All Standards have been maintained utilizing Watermark – Taskstream. This standards database is maintained by the Assessment Coordinator so that alignments can accommodate updates to standards, program competencies, courses, or assessments.

Evidence Overview

The information below illustrates how Grambling State University creates and monitors transition points from admission through completion of the program, supports candidates through the program, and maintains records.

Transition Points-The EPP monitors candidate progress on non-academic factors as well as professional responsibilities. Checklists are utilized and candidates are monitored through the results reported from the various transition points.

The EPP monitors the Candidate Cohort at entry into Student Teaching so that a grade point average of 3.0 is achieved.

Candidate Support- Curriculum Sheets are used by advisors and students to guide the progress toward on-time graduation for each candidate. Classroom visitations are held each semester. The Director of the Office of Professional Laboratory Experiences (OPLE), Director of the Centralized Advisement Referral and Evaluation (CARE) Center, Coordinator of the Praxis Lab, Residency Coordinator, Certification Officer, and Department Head visit classrooms to explain the process and answer questions. A teacher education candidate must enroll in the Advisee Reports Course 3 times during their matriculation.
