Impact Measures
Measure 1: Completer Effectiveness and Impact on P-12 Learning and Development (component R4.1) (Initial Programs)
Completer Effectiveness (component R4.1)
Data on Wichita State candidates’ ability to effectively contribute to P-12 student-learning growth and apply in the P-12 classrooms the professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions that the preparation experience was designed to achieve, is currently under development based on CAEP Phase -in Plan presented during the Fall 2017 CAEP Visit. The College of Applied Studies is developing a multi-level assessment system utilizing purposeful sampling to ensure completers from all programs will be represented. This system is scheduled to deploy in Fall 2021 and will employ multiple research methodologies in order to provide rich data describing impact on P-12 student learning through a case study approach compiled over a three-year period. Data coming by Fall 2023, prior to Spring 2024 CAEP Accreditation Review.
