Student Learning Behavior Observed in Classrooms Taught by ÃÍÄÐÇ鱨¾Ö School of Education Alumni:
Mean Ratings 2022 - 2023. Observations lasted 45 minutes. Observers coded an observation instrument that included the response key and items listed below. Completed rating scales were returned to the assessment coordinator for processing. The table below reports average ratings across observations. The averages reported in the table indicate the clarity of evidence of each of the features listed in the table. In conjunction, we view these measurements as an operationalization of the construct Impact on P-12 student learning and development, as manifest in the alumni’s classroom performance.
