Our five Single-Subject Credential Program pathways are based on theoretical and scholarly understandings of teacher preparation and are aligned with the Unit’s Conceptual Framework [csun.edu/coe]. As a set, the pathways meet the varying needs of our candidates. Table 1 briefly describes the five pathways and shows enrollment and completion data for the three years reported.Program Changes Since 2011Through Fall 2011, Candidates in the Traditional and Intern pathways have had the option of earning a BCLAD (Bilingual Cross-Cultural Language and Academic Development) Credential. Since Fall 2011, we have offered the Bilingual Authorization (BILA) via two routes: a “pre-credential” route, by which current single-subject credential candidates simultaneously earn the BILA, and a “post-credential” route, by which previously credentialed teachers (by CSUN or other institutions) add the BILA. BCLAD/BILA candidates are fluent in Spanish, Armenian, or Korean, as well as in the cultures associated with the language of emphasis. Details about the requirements and numbers of candidates in these two routes can be found in the attached BILA report. Table 1: Program-Specific Candidate Information: Pathway Descriptions and Enrollment/Completion Data2012-20132013-14Program PathwayNote: All pathways include CLAD competencies.Candi-datesCom-pletersCandi-datesCom-pletersTraditional Single-Subject Credential Program (36 sem. units): A post-baccalaureate program for full- or part-time pre-service candidates. Qualified, fulltime candidates may complete the program in 2 semesters, but many take 3 or more semesters.7154Accelerated Collaborative Teacher (ACT) Preparation Program (36 sem. units): A 1-year, field-based program for single-subject, multiple-subject, and education-specialist credential candidates. This post-baccalaureate, 5th-year program is offered in collaboration with Local District 2 of the Los Angeles Unified School District. Single--subject ACT candidates enroll in the same secondary education (SED) methods and field-experience courses and some of the same foundation classes as candidates in other SED pathways but enroll in special-education and equity/diversity classes with multiple-subject and special-education ACT candidates.18420Single-Subject University Intern Program (36 sem. units): A 2-year, post-baccalaureate program for candidates hired and teaching fulltime in public secondary schools and who have met subject-matter competency and other requirements. CSUN has Intern Programs in cooperation with LAUSD and several other districts in the area. Traditional candidates may transfer to the Intern Program after completing one or more semesters of coursework and sometimes even after the initial field experience, SED 554.108Four-Year Integrated (FYI) Teacher Credential Program (124-125 sem. units): An undergraduate program admitting freshmen who enter CSUN prepared for college-level mathematics and writing classes. FYI enables an undergraduate to earn a B.A. Degree and a Preliminary Single-Subject credential in 4 years, in English or Math only. 63Junior-Year Entry Integrated (JYI) Teacher Credential Program (Math - 69 sem. units; English - 73 sem. units following GE/lower-division course completion): An integrated undergraduate program admitting juniors, including community-college transfers. Entering students have completed all General Education requirements and lower-division English or Math courses required by the major. JYI enables an undergraduate to earn a B.A. Degree and a Preliminary Single-Subject Credential in English or Math in 4 years.73Since 2012, when the State Board of Education adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for K-12 instruction, our program faculty members have actively sought self-education and training in the CCSS and their implications for teacher education. Indeed, a few faculty members have been deeply involved in providing professional development and training for secondary teachers and teacher educators, locally and statewide. Credential-course instructors have been modifying their course material and assignments to help candidates address the CCSS with secondary pupils. Beginning in Spring 2014, this effort has become more formal, with same-course instructors collaborating on CCSS-aligned syllabus changes. Science credential courses have also begun to be modified to reflect the Next Generation Science Standards, adopted by the state in 2013.As there is much competition among teacher-education programs in the greater Los Angeles area, we continue to seek ways to make our pathways attractive to potential candidates, including through the use of technology. Currently, the SED offers a fully online section of SED 514, Computers in the Instructional Program, and hybrid sections of, SED 521, Literacy and Learning in Multiethnic Secondary Schools, SED 525ESL, Methods of Teaching English as a Second Language, SED 529, Teaching English Learners in Multiethnic Classrooms, and SED 514PART II – Candidate Assessment/Performance and Program Effectiveness Information Transition Points and Key AssessmentsTable 2 shows our Transition Point Matrix with key assessment measures. Descriptions of some key measures follow Table 2.Table 2: Transition Point Matrix for All Single-Subject Credential Program PathwaysTransition PointMeasureTransition Point 1Entry to Program1) Undergrad GPA* > 2.67 overall or > 2.75 in last 60 units 2) Subject matter competency (CSET exam or Subject Matter Program) 3) Applicant Interview 4) Dispositions Self Survey at BeginningTransition Point 2Entry to Clinical Practice1) GPA > 3.0 in credential program courses, with no grade below C2) GPA >2.75 in all post-BA courses3) Basic Skills (CBEST) Passed4) Writing Proficiency (UDWPE score >10, or pass composition course, or score > 41 on CBEST)Transition Point 3Exit from First Clinical Experience1) Student Teaching Progress Report Transition Point 4Exit from Clinical Practice1) Student Teaching Evaluation2) Teacher Performance Assessment (PACT Teaching Event)3) Dispositions Self Survey at ConclusionTransition Point 5Exit from Program1) GPA > 3.0 in program courses2) GPA > 2.75 in all post-BA courses3) CSU Exit Survey (Completers’ Perceptions)Transition Point 6Follow-Up1) CSU Follow-Up Survey (Completers’ Perceptions)2) CSU Follow-Up Survey (Employers’ Perceptions)* GPA calculated on a 4-point scale, with A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, etc.Applicant Interview All Single-Subject applicants participate in the Applicant Interview conducted by a full- or part-time faculty member. For the Traditional, FYI, and JYI Pathways, this is a small-group interview with 3-7 Multiple- and Single-Subject program applicants responding to the interviewer and to one another. For the Single-Subject ACT and Intern applicants, the respective program director conducts an individual interview and provides beginning advisement. The formal interview protocol comprises 6 general items for discussion by the applicants, and an individual writing task. Candidates’ responses are then rated on a 4-point scale for 7 rubric items. The majority of these items are dispositional, focusing on areas such as commitment to diversity, commitment to professional growth, character, and personality. Verbal skills are also rated. Standardized Examinations Candidates may demonstrate subject-matter competency at admission (Transition Point 1) with passing scores on the California Subject Examination for Teachers (CSET) in the subject area. Also required for program entry (Transition Point 1) is an attempt to meet the Basic Skills Requirement (BSR), usually by attempting all sections of the California Basic Skills Test (CBEST). To enter the initial clinical experience (Transition Point 2), candidates must pass all sections of the CBEST or meet the BSR in another way. Many candidates use a score of 41 or higher on the CBEST Writing Test to establish Writing Proficiency, another requirement at Transition Point 2. Teaching Performance Measures Student Teaching/Intern field-based assessments provide critical data at Transition Points 3 and 4. Traditional, ACT, FYI, and JYI Single-Subject Pathways. Candidates in these pathways complete two semesters of student teaching. In the first assignment, SED 554, they begin with structured observations and working with small groups of pupils, then assume responsibility for planning and teaching one class period daily at Week 6 or 7 through the remainder of the school’s semester or track. The final assessment for SED 554 is the Student Teaching Progress Report, organized by the 13 Teaching Performance Expectations (TPEs) in 6 Domains reflecting the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. The university supervisor and the cooperating teacher each submit a Progress Report (Transition Point 3). In the final SED 555 field experience, candidates plan and teach 3 class periods daily and are on site for an additional class period, for the school’s entire semester or track. The final assessment for this experience is the Student Teaching Evaluation, also organized by the 13 TPEs and their 6 Domains but with more items than the Progress Report. The university supervisor and the cooperating teacher(s) each submit a Student Teaching Evaluation near the end of the assignment (Transition Point 4). Single-Subject University Intern Program. Intern candidates who are hired and teaching fulltime at a public school complete two beginning field experiences with the support of a university coach (or supervisor) and a school-based support provider in SED 593 and SED 594. Support providers do not complete the Progress Report, and the beginning field-experience performance assessment data for Interns includes only the SED 594 Intern Progress Report by the university supervisor (Transition Point 3). The final Intern field experience occurs in SED 555I, when both the university supervisor and cooperating teacher(s) complete the Intern Evaluation (Transition Point 4). The Student Teaching and Intern Progress Reports for SED 554 and SED 594 are identical evaluations. Similarly, the Student Teaching and Intern Evaluations for SED 555 and SED 555I are the same. This enables comparisons of performance across program pathways. Both the Progress Report and the Evaluation use a 5-level rubric, albeit with different sets of level descriptors. The Progress Report score levels are 1-2 (Initial Competency), 3-4 (Intermediate Competency), and 5 (Advanced Competency), while the Evaluation score levels are 1 (Unsatisfactory), 2 (Marginal), 3 (Satisfactory), 4 (Strong), and 5 (Outstanding). Required minimal scores for passing are established and clearly communicated to candidates, supervisors, and cooperating teachers. University supervisor workshops are held each January to address supervision issues and promote fair, unbiased, and reliable administration of these performance assessments. Activities based on videotapes and case studies are among those that have been used in past years. Cooperating teacher workshops are also held once or twice annually, and part of these meetings is typically devoted to exploring and clarifying these assessments.Our selected Single-Subject TPA, a key measure at Transition Point 4, is the Performance Assessment for California Teachers (PACT) Teaching Event. We have maintained a stable pool of about 33 assessors, drawn from full- and part-time faculty from the SED and related departments (e.g., Art) who work with the single-subject credential program as instructors and/or supervisors. All PACT Teaching Events are scored by this CSUN pool, except in rare cases where adjudication is needed in a subject with only two assessors. All CSUN assessors were initially trained and now annually recalibrate according to PACT specifications. Calibration is also maintained by assigning a minimum of 15% of the Teaching Events to be read by two (or more) assessors. When assessors of double-scored Teaching Events diverge on their scores to an extent that exceeds PACT calibration standards, these assessors discuss the discrepancies with the SED’s Lead Scorer of the subject to try to resolve the differences. Similarly, as per PACT policy, when an assessor fails to recalibrate on PACT’s annual benchmark, the SED’s Lead Scorer for the subject works with the assessor to try to resolve the discrepancies and clarify the rubrics. (If a Lead Scorer fails to recalibrate, he or she works with a trainer from SCALE.) Less than a third of our assessor pool did not initially recalibrate each of the years in this report: 8 did not recalibrate in 2012; 10 in 2013, and 7 in 2014. All were remediated as described. Surveys Single-Subject candidates complete the Dispositions Survey in the first semester of enrollment (Transition Point 1) and near the end of their final field experience (Transition Point 4). Items address four dispositional areas: 1) Ethical behavior toward others, 2) High expectations for all, 3) Collaboration with peers and other professionals, and 4) Professional behavior. The survey has 17 items, with response selections ranging from 1 (Never) to 5 (Always). The CSU Exit Survey is a system-wide survey developed by the Chancellor’s Office of the California State University (CSU) and completed online by credential candidates at the end of their program (Transition Point 5). The CSU Exit Survey asks questions regarding candidates’ perceptions of their pre-service preparation and support, via items that clearly reflect state credential-program standards. Responses are submitted online, and scores for each item are reported as the percentages of respondents who felt Well Prepared, Adequately Prepared, Somewhat Prepared, or Not Prepared; 80% Well or Adequately Prepared has been set as the CSUN benchmark. The CSU Follow-Up Survey is also administered system-wide by the CSU to program completers/teachers one year after finishing the program (Transition Point 6) and by their supervisors/employers, allowing a comparison. Scores are reported as percentages of those who felt or believed the teachers to be Well Prepared, Adequately Prepared, Somewhat Prepared, or Not Prepared, again with 80% Well or Adequately Prepared as the CSUN benchmark. Items are similar to the CSU Exit Survey Items so that the Exit Survey and Follow-Up Survey responses from candidates can be compared. Aggregated DataIn this section we report the data from 5 measures from Transition Points 4 – 6 (Table 3) for the years 2011-2014.Table 3: Measures Yielding Data for This ReportTransition PointMeasureTransition Point 4Exit from Clinical PracticeStudent Teaching EvaluationTeacher Performance Assessment (PACT Teaching Event)Transition Point 5Exit from ProgramCSU Exit Survey (Completers’ Perceptions)Transition Point 6Follow-UpCSU Follow-Up Survey (Completers’ Perceptions)CSU Follow-Up Survey (Employers’ Perceptions)Student Teaching EvaluationOn the following pages, we provide the means for candidates’ scores on every item from the Student Teaching Evaluation, from both the university supervisor and cooperating teacher.

Ratings by graduates and their employers on the Exit and Follow-Up Surveys confirm that our graduates are generally well prepared for first-year teaching—in many areas better prepared than the average CSU credential graduate. That PACT Teaching Event scores for the same candidates hew more closely to the basic level (2) than strong (3) leads to several (non-exclusive) explanations:1) STEs may have a local, upward bias avoided in the more systematic, objective scoring of PACT Teaching Events. If so, our candidates may not be as strong as the STEs indicate. One potential remedy has been our regular implementation, in the past few years, of semesterly cooperating-teacher workshops, where clarifying discussions of STE items and ratings are often on the agenda.2) Our candidates may be stronger in the day-to-day teaching performances assessed by the STE than in the deep, content-specific analysis and theoretical application required by the PACT Teaching Event (see further discussion below). 3) Our candidates may simply put more effort into their student teaching than their PACT Teaching Event, perceiving student teaching as “real work” with real pupils and where the consequences of poor preparation are significant, immediate, and obvious, while the pass/fail PACT Teaching Event offers no tangible reward for extra effort.Areas of Concern or Interest and Proposed or Implemented ChangesTeaching English LearnersOne small trend in STEs, across years and pathways, is comparatively low ratings by cooperating teachers and supervisors on the two STE items related to working with English learners (ELs), with candidates in the ACT pathway scoring lower than Traditional candidates. (Interns and FYI/JYI scores are not included in this comparison because of small Ns.) On Item 3.6, “Prepares lesson plans that address California English Language Development standards for English learners,” Traditional candidates’ scores ranged from 3.22 (Fall 2013) to 4.07 (Spring 2013), while ACT candidates’ scores ranged from 2.69 (Spring 2014) to 4.00 (Fall 2012 and Spring 2013).On Item 4.9, “Meets the instructional needs of English Learners,” Traditional candidates’ scores ranged from 3.04 (Spring 2014) to 4.13 (Fall 2012), while ACT candidates’ scores ranged from 2.96 (Spring 2014) to 4.00 (Spring 2012).In contrast, ACT candidates self-reported more confidence about working with ELs than did Traditional candidates. Out of the 57 items on the CSU Exit Survey, the item “As a new teacher, I am prepared in instruction in the teaching of English language learners” was one of only 9 items (in 2011-12) and one of only 11 items (in 2012-13) on which more than 20% of Traditional candidates felt less-than-adequately prepared. For ACT candidates, this same item did not appear among the 9 items on which more than 20% felt less-than-adequately prepared in 2011-12, and in 2012-13, there were no items on which more than 20% of ACT candidates felt less-than-adequately prepared. In the 2013 Follow-Up Surveys (of 2011-12 program completers and their employers, the only year for which we have survey results), only 5 of the 73 items were rated by 50% or more program completers at the lower two (of four) levels, indicating that these program aspects were only a little or not valuable or that graduates felt inadequately prepared. The item, “How valuable or helpful was coursework and fieldwork in your CSU credential program for instruction in the teaching of English language learners?” was not among these 5 lowest-rated items. And while there were 8 items on the 38-question employers’ survey on which more than 15% of employers felt our graduates were inadequately prepared, the item “to meet the instructional needs of students who are English language learners” was not one of these. It is not clear why the cooperating teachers and supervisors of our candidates are more critical of candidates’ abilities to teach ELs than our graduates and their employers appear to be—or, more accurately, why cooperating teachers’ and supervisors’ greatest concerns about preparation fall in this area, while other preparation-related concerns take precedence for graduates and their employers. It may be that the small number of respondents in the Follow-Up Surveys work in schools with smaller EL populations than the schools in which we place student teachers, thus lowering the priority of this competence in employers’ and graduates’ eyes. In response to low ratings in this area in the years prior to 2011, we created (and filled) a new, fulltime, tenure-track position in Teaching English Learners and added a new course, Teaching English Learners in Multiethnic Classrooms (SED 529), to all credential pathways. The 3 years covered in this report have been the first 3 years that this course has been offered. Comparisons of 2011-14 STE ratings to those from prior years are difficult, because earlier data were aggregated by TPE. The closest comparison is to TPE 7, Teaching English Learners, which combines two items from the STE: Item 4.8, “Meets the instructional needs of students from diverse cultural backgrounds, demonstrating cultural awareness and sensitivity,” and item 4.9, “Meets the instructional needs of English Learners.” From 2007-2011, our Traditional and ACT candidates’ ratings on this TPE 7 composite item ranged fairly smoothly from 3.53 to 4.29. For the 3 years since SED 529 was offered, as stated above, Traditional and ACT candidates’ scores on Item 4.9 ranged from 2.96 to 4.13. This lack of improvement is disappointing, given that the latter group took a semester-long course dedicated to teaching ELs that prior candidates did not. One explanation may be that our cooperating teachers, supervisors, and at least our Traditional candidates have become more sophisticated about the challenges of and strategies for helping ELs acquire English proficiency and content knowledge, and thus are more critical of current levels of preparation and skill. Certainly, our single-subject program has worked hard over the past few years to educate candidates and instructors, and to a lesser extent supervisors and cooperating teachers, about working effectively with ELs. The Los Angeles Unified School District, where the majority of our student teachers are placed, revised its Master Plan for English Learners in 2011-12 and may have provided related professional development for teachers. Thus, the additional training provided by SED 529 may indeed have elevated our candidates’ and graduates’ ability to teach ELs, but the standards of those who evaluate our candidates and graduates may also have increased.Several actions have been proposed or implemented in response to these EL-related data. We are completing the process of revising all credential-course syllabi to address the new California ELL and ELD Standards (along with Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards). We also plan to review the credential-course sequence, in particular the timing of the Teaching ELs course (SED 529), which currently may be taken at any point in the program. It may be that taking this course in the last semester, when may candidates do, is too late; if taken earlier, candidates would have more opportunity to apply what they learn about teaching ELs in their student-teaching assignments. To further enhance the potential of the student-teaching experience to help candidates teach ELs, we plan to more systematically identify cooperating teachers who are particularly skillful in this area and prioritize them for placements. Finally, our workshops for cooperating teachers often address language issues. This semester, our workshop for returning cooperating teachers will focus on how to mentor student teachers in the use of the new ELL and ELD standards in order to give ELs better access to content. Deep Subject-Matter PedagogyThe vast majority of our candidates pass the PACT Teaching Event. We have seen a consistent failure rate, over the years, of about 10% on first attempts, but, after a remediation meeting with the PACT Coordinator, most of these candidates pass on their second attempt. Still, PACT data, in the form of weak rubric scores and evidence from remediation meetings, give some cause for concern that many of our candidates do not develop sufficiently deep pedagogical content knowledge. The Teaching Event for each subject centers on a focal practice that is quite sophisticated for beginning teachers (and some veteran ones): For example, the focal practice of the History-Social Science PACT Teaching Event is to “help students use facts, concepts, and interpretations to make and explain judgments about a significant historical event or social science phenomenon.” Our PACT data suggest that many of our candidates do not understand the focal practice in their subject and/or struggle to implement it. This has raised the questions of how thoroughly we address these focal practices in coursework and the degree to which cooperating teachers model them and offer candidates opportunities to rehearse and receive feedback on them. Two new department practices address these data. First, for the past two years, the department PACT Coordinator has been visiting every section of the initial course, Fundamentals of Secondary Education in Multiethnic Secondary Schools (SED 511), to introduce the Teaching Event. The focal practice for each subject’s Teaching Event is shared with these first-semester candidates and tips are given for how to prepare for it in courses, even if the Teaching Event is a year or two away. Candidates are encouraged to pay special attention in their coursework to:1) strategies for engaging pupils in high-level thinking about their subject (because PACT’s focal practices exemplify high-level thinking)2) the learning theories that ground the various teaching methods 3) what academic language means in their subject (e.g., what it means to talk or write like a scientist) and how to help pupils develop this.A second strategy has been to convene all instructors, supervisors, and PACT scorers in a subject for an extended “Subject-Matter Conversation” (SMC). In 2013-14 we conducted SMCs in math and English; this fall SMCs are being organized for social science and science. At the SMC, participants try to come to consensus on an interpretation of the PACT focal practice, so that what occurs in coursework and fieldwork aligns with what PACT scorers are expecting. Participants examine artifacts, including video clips, from 1-2 PACT Teaching Events by our own candidates, and they identify evidence of the candidate engaging (or not) in the focal practice. Finally, participants discuss how to better support these candidates in the focal practice. Participants in the math and English SMCs reported that the SMC was extremely valuable and overdue; we have yet to see if these SMCs translate into higher PACT scores. Classroom ManagementAnother trend noted on the STEs is a small discrepancy between the ratings of cooperating teachers (lower) and university supervisors (higher) on items related to classroom management: Items 5.1, “Maximizes instructional time, managing classroom routines and transitions,” and 5.2, “Maintains classroom control and consistently enforces policies.” Faculty discussion about this discrepancy elicited two possible (and somewhat competing) explanations. First, these two types of raters may be rating different evidence: The cooperating teacher observes the candidate’s day-to-day management skills, while the supervisor only observes 6 times during the semester. Not only does the supervisor miss many management events, but the candidate may work harder on classroom control for the supervisor’s visits; even the pupils might be on their best behavior for the special guest. Alternately, it may be that these two types of raters judge the same evidence differently. Cooperating teachers may have a more traditional view of classroom management, and/or may feel that learning to control pupils should take priority over other teaching skills. University supervisors may be more comfortable with less traditional formats, such as groupwork or stations, and the extra noise and movement that result. If our candidates are attempting the more active and collaborative learning formats encouraged in their CSUN coursework, university supervisors may be less inclined than cooperating teachers to criticize these candidates for looseness in pupil behavior. It should be noted that management was no of greater concern than other areas on the STE; it is only raised here because of the rater discrepancy. Classroom management generally did not rate as one of the most pressing concerns for most program completers, either in the Exit or Follow-Up Survey; in fact, for Interns and ACT Candidates in 2011-12 it was an area in which more than 80% of respondents felt Well or Adequately Prepared. However, classroom management was one of the 8 items on which more than 15% of employers felt our graduates were inadequately prepared. Here, again, it may be that employers (generally principals or assistant principals) prioritize control of pupil behavior over other skills a new teacher might demonstrate—or are able to grasp a teachers’ ability to manage a classroom more readily during a quick classroom visit than other teaching skills or knowledge—and therefore be more concerned or critical about this skill. Because management was not an area of particular concern, no specific change or action has been proposed. However, the general purpose for our cooperating-teacher workshops is to attune cooperating teachers to the expectations and teaching practices emphasized at CSUN. Thus, these workshops could encourage cooperating teachers to allow their student teachers to try more active teaching methods than those with which the cooperating teachers feel most comfortable.Meeting the Needs of Challenging PupilsA final observation from the Exit and Follow-Up Surveys is that our graduates may be underprepared to work with pupils with certain challenges, such as dropout risk, violent behavior, and drug use. This problem seems less evident for Interns, which suggests that significant classroom experience is needed and coursework alone insufficient. We will communicate these data with the Health Sciences and Educational Psychology & Counseling departments, which offer the program courses we expect to address these issues: Health Issues of the Adolescent (HCSI 466ADO) and Educational Psychology of the Adolescent (EPC 420). We will also examine all syllabi for our initial course, Fundamentals of Secondary Education in Multiethnic Secondary Schools (SED 511) to ensure that these issues are consistently addressed across sections. ................
