Grambling State University Standard Three Compendium 2 Academic Achievement and Support

Evidence and Analysis

Transition Points: Major transition points identified as “Portals” in initial programs are used to determine whether candidates are allowed to move to the next level of the certification pathway within the matriculation process. The EPP has incorporated a systematic monitoring process at each portal/transition point to monitor candidates from admission to completion. Data inclusive of key assessments, proprietary assessments, interviews, clinical experience evaluations, and dispositions assessments are collected at and between the transition points and entered into the Quality Assurance System. The Directed response Folio is utilized in Taskstream for candidates to monitor their progress. CAEP Reviewers are encouraged to click on the link below for the compilation of these transitions, along with directions, and evaluation methods.

3.0 Transition Point/Student Teaching Cohort: The EPP monitors the Candidate Cohort at entry into Student Teaching to affirm that a cohort grade point average of 3.0 is achieved.

Candidate Support: Candidates are informed of the transition points during advisement. The Plan of Study form compliments the Digital System as a means to track candidates’ progression through the transition points. The following link is an example of the BS in Elementary Education-Grades 1-5. Candidates will be able to track progress in a digital space known as DegreeWorks by fall 2023. Faculty are currently being trained on this new system. Additional information can be provided as needed during the site visit.

Classroom visitations are held each semester. The OPLE Director, CARE Center Director, Praxis Lab Coordinator, Residency Coordinator, Certification Officer, and Department Head conduct multiple classroom visits to explain how to progress toward graduation, answer questions, and promote student success.

As additional support, a teacher education candidate must enroll in ED 201 Advisee Reports Course 3 times during their matriculation. This allows crucial high touch one-on-one advising time with the Director of the CARE Center to reiterate transition points and expectations. A Mandatory Teacher Education Majors’ Meeting is held once a semester.
