Due to a number of factors, there was smaller attendance than usual at this meeting.
Pass-Port
A portion of the meeting was spent reviewing Pass-Port and evaluating the portal system. A spreadsheet was emailed to faculty with the current layout of assessments in each of the four portals. Faculty have been asked to review the key assessments for each major in each of the four portals and provide feedback and suggestions prior to the next meeting on March 28, 2014. By the end of the meeting, the goal is for ESED/DVSL to have assessments for Portal 3 identified and SCED to have Portal 1 identified, at a minimum.
Alumni Survey
The alumni survey for EDST inital program, SLMS and IDAT was reviewed at the meeting and emailed to faculty for review and feedback. The survey was last disributed in the Spring of 2012 to recent alumni. Dean May asked the department to review the survey, evaluate the questions and determine if there are any additional or new questions that would provide valuable data and information for the department moving forward. Feedback and suggestions for revisions to the survey are requested to be submitted prior to the March 28, 2014 meeting so a final survey can be approved at the meeting.
