Identification of where outcomes are being achieved.
Each Teacher Education major has a matrix that indicates where the learner outcomes are achieved throughout the curriculum. Specific course assignments become artifacts to demonstrate competence in each of the ten Wisconsin teaching standards, and are collected in an electronic portfolio. This electronic portfolio later serves as the Certification Portfolio.

Timetable Indicating the Cycle of Assessment & Continuous Improvement
The Teacher education Program has many assessments. Below is a summary of time table for various assessments and committees. In addition to these, the teacher education faculty examine randomly selected portfolios from each certification area and examine two or three selected outcomes each semester. Faculty met in the Fall of 2006 in small teams (2 or 3 faculty) to initiate this activity. (Assessment Reports and Minutes from this initial assessment activity are available.) Faculty have expressed a preference for the assessment activity in the Spring of 2007 to include student presentations of e-folios with more time devoted to discussions regarding the curriculum.

There may be arguments for this, but currently Amber Tubre’ and Mary Manke are working on the Assessment Plans. It is possible that one or more of the certificates will be discontinued when Graduate Council carries out its 3-year V. Data Presentation and Discussion Process
Fall 2006 semester faculty reviewed one randomly selected e-folio. In groups of two or three, faculty chose 2 or 3 of the ten WI standards to examine and reported back to the Department as a whole. Faculty discussed the possibility that corrections to the Artifact VI. Implementation of Revisions Based upon Assessment Results.
The faculty have suggested that a few students be invited to present their e-folio in the Spring semester. Faculty agreed that the process of sharing the content of the e-folio with a small group of faculty for each major, might result in better feedback on curriculum content. The Dean’s Office has requested that changes to the Artifact Matrix be limited to once a year and also be channeled through the Associate Dean for accreditation purposes. VII. Results Availability.
All assessment Reports will be available on the college web site http://www.uwrf.edu/college-of-education/TED/welcome.htm and distributed during the meetings of the larger Education Preparation Visit. Results of the curriculum changes will also be evident in the revised Artifact Matrices.
