Survey Data
The Department of Education surveys
program completers at the end of each semester. Our purpose is to
gauge the response of students to individual courses in the program, as
well as to understand their overall
evaluation of the secondary teacher education program. Department faculty
review these results to identify areas of concern within the program and
use that information to modify and
adjust the curriculum. The surveys from the 2002-03 academic year were
very important in guiding our modifications in the curriculum during this
past
year. In particular, we identified a need to give more attention to assessment
issues and increase our emphasis on national and state standards, including
the Michigan Curriculum Framework. Survey data helped persuade adjunct
faculty in the degree granting departments to support the increase in credits
in the
program and assured approval by the college council.
In March, 2004, we surveyed
current and recent cooperating teachers, asking their opinions of Michigan
Tech students who have served as student teachers in their schools. We also
surveyed principals
and superintendents to determine their assessment of Michigan Tech graduates
who have been hired in their schools. We intend to use the results of these
instruments to further refine
and adjust our curriculum and the specific content of courses, as needed.
