Using PACT Data for National Accreditation
Gladys L. Benerd School of EducationUniversity of the Pacific
Presenters:Betsy Keithcart, Assessment CoordinatorClaudia Schwartz, Director of Professional Practice
Who We Are as Teacher Educators:
• Fully Accredited by CTC & NCATE 2004– Four-Year Undergraduate– M.Ed. Program
• PACT 2005• Orange Cohort
– Joint Team Visit Spring 2011
Development of Proposal
• CTC / NCATE / PACT• Voluntary Pilot• Orange Cohorts• Proposal to CTC• Letter to NCATE• AACTE Conference
Session Question #1:
How are teacher education institutions incorporating PACT in NCATE's new transformation initiative?
Pacific’s Proposal: Continuous Improvement
• Coursework & fieldwork• Professional belief system• Multiple opportunities to:
– Observe– Understand– Demonstrate
• Reflective Habits of Mind
Guiding Concepts
Term I:Theory
Term II:Theory & Planning
Term III:Theory, Planning, &
Practice
Term IV:Synthesis &
Analysis
BSE Assessment System
• Tier 1:– Coursework– PACT
• ESAs• CATs• Teaching Event
• Tier 2:– Key Transition Point Assessments
• Tier 3:– Other Considerations
Proficiencies
• Four-Point Rubric1 = Not Passing2 = Approaching Standard3 = Meets Standard Fully4 = Meets Standard with
Distinction
Research Focus
• Proficiency of Students• Students Not Meeting Proficiencies• Student Remediation• Programmatic Changes
Rationale
• Data Analysis• Program Improvement• Design Changes• Summative Assessments• Formative Assessments• Assessment System• Alternative Considerations
Research Questions
Overarching Research Question:
Are Benerd School of Education (BSE) students/candidates performing proficiently on key transition point assessments?
Research Sub-Questions
Research Sub-Question #1:If a student/candidate is not performing proficiently, what remediation is provided?
Research Sub-Question #2:If students are not performing proficiently, what programmatic revisions are implemented to foster student success?

Data Analysis
• Quantitative Analysis– Aggregating Candidates’ Scores– Organizing / Disaggregating
• Qualitative Analysis– Work Sample Analysis– Constant Comparative Analysis
(Glaser & Strauss, 1967)• Other Forms of Analysis
– Understanding Candidate Learning– Impact of Instructional Strategies
Session Question #2:
In what ways are PACT data informing and/or supporting national accreditation?
Standards Addressed by the ProposedFocused Inquiry
• All CTC/NCATE Common Standards• NCATE Unit Standards (2006)• Specific Standards from Crosswalk:
– NCATE Unit Standard 1:Candidate Knowledge, Skills, & Professional Dispositions
– NCATE Unit Standard 2:Assessment & Unit Evaluation
– NCATE Unit Standard 3:Field Experiences & Clinical Practice
– NCATE Unit Standard 4:Diversity
Benerd School of Education:Proposed
Process
• Programs• Continuous Improvement for
Continuing Accreditation • Time Line• References• Resources
•Entry Assessments–Admissions–Credentials Office File –Evaluations (3)–TB / Background Check–Pass CBEST–Interviews (2)–Essay–Course Requirements–GPA (2.5+)
•In-Program Assessments–PACT Embedded Signature Assignments (ESAs) / Multiple Subject Content Area Tasks (CATs)*–Course Assignments–Feedback from Cooperating Teachers Course Grades–Professional Practice Interview
•Exit Assessments–PACT Teaching Event*–Surveys (Grad, CT, US)
•Follow-Up Assessments–Surveys (Alum & Employers)
