AAQEP Accreditation 2022

Standard 2 Aspect E

Standard 2e - Evidence shows that program alumni establish goals for their own professional growth and engage in self-assessment, goal setting, and reflection.

The Bilingual Authorization Program (BAP) selected three different measures to examine how program alumni create productive learning environments. The first measure comes from the BAP completer survey, the second measure comes from the BAP employer survey, and the third comes from the BAP alumni (1+ years) survey. Data collection for the latter two will begin during the 2021-2022 academic year, hence, there is no data to display for this report.

Data Sources & Analysis

Data Source 1

BAP Completer Survey

Description of Data Source:
The first measure for Standard 2E comes from the BAP completer survey completed by 21 graduates for the Spring 2021 term. The purpose for this survey is to understand graduates' experiences in the BAP and Multiple Subject credential program as well as employment outcomes. Moving forward, data from this survey will be analyzed and discussed in the program advisory committee meetings with the purpose of making the necessary changes to improve the program and to better serve our students and the interests of stakeholders, such as district partners.

Only one (1) year of completer data is available because this is the first time a completer survey was created and disseminated among program graduates. Prior to the new coordinator’s leadership, the BAP was a very small program and no completer data was collected.

Perspective Captured from Data Source: Program Completer

Rationale for using Data Source:
The survey provides information about the program from the perspective of program completers who are now in the teaching profession.

Specific Elements of Data Source:
Survey Item 28:

The BAP courses taught me how to establish goals for my own professional growth and engage in self-assessment, goal setting, and reflection

Definition of Success for Each Element:
Completers are asked to rate the extent to which they agree with each statement on a 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) point Likert scale, with the programmatic goal being a score of 4.

Displays of Analyzed Data:

Link to Full Dataset: BAP completer raw data

Interpretation of Data:
Responses indicate that 90.5% agreed or strongly agreed, and 9.5% were neutral on this statement. The respondents who agreed with this statement indicate that the program’s courses are instilling in candidates the value of self-assessment, goal setting, and reflection. These practices are core values to the program and its courses and is achieved by having candidates create and implement their own lesson plans. They are asked to collect student work that is then analyzed to help candidates reflect on the areas of strength and needed improvement to help them grow as teachers. BAP candidates are taught that reflecting at the end of each day is integral to successful teaching as well as dual language learning for children. Teacher reflexivity allows for clearer goals to be set and accomplished.

The 9.5% of respondents that were neutral on this statement indicate that that the program may need to emphasize the importance of self-assessment, goal setting, and reflection more often via assignments and class discussions so that this goal can be explicit to candidates. Recommendations and input will be requested by program stakeholders during advisory committee meetings.

Data Source 2

Planned BAP Employer Survey

Description of Data Source:
The BAP Employer Survey was created by the program coordinator in Spring 2021 to align with CCTC and AAQEP standards. Prior to this point, the BAP program did not have an employer survey. Although the survey was not administered to employers of program completers, data collection will begin during the 2021-2022 academic year, hence, there is no data to display for this report.

The survey includes both demographic information about the school and item that invite responders to rate the extent to which they on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).

Perspective Captured from Data Source: Employer

Rationale for using Data Source:
As a program, we understand the need to learn the perspectives of employers of our completers about how well our program prepared them to be bilingual educators.

Specific Elements of Data Source:
Survey Item 12:

Our district bilingual/dual immersion teachers establish goals for my own professional growth and engage in self-assessment, goal setting, and reflection

Definition of Success for Each Element:
The programmatic goal for survey responses will be 80% agreement with each statement.

Plans for Collection & Analysis of Data:
Because this is a planned data source, there is no data to display. The survey will be reviewed and revised by the BAP advisory committee during the 2021-2022 academic year. Once completed, the survey will be disseminated among BAP district partners in the spring semester. Data will be used for continuous program improvement.

Data Source 3

Planned BAP Completer (1+ years) Survey

Description of Data Source:
The BAP Completer (1+ years) Survey was created by the program coordinator in Spring 2021 to align with CCTC and AAQEP standards. Prior to this point, the BAP program did not have a method of gathering information from our completers once they are in the field about how well the program prepared them. Although the survey was not administered to employers of program completers, data collection will begin during the 2021-2022 academic year, hence, there is no data to display for this report.

The survey will include both demographic information about the school and item that invite responders to rate the extent to which they on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).

Perspective Captured from Data Source: Completers

Rationale for using Data Source:
As a program, we understand the need to learn the perspectives of our completers about how well the program prepared them to be bilingual educators.

Specific Elements of Data Source:
Survey Item 13:

As a classroom teacher, I establish goals for my own professional growth and engage in self-assessment, goal setting, and reflection

Definition of Success for Each Element:
The programmatic goal for survey responses will be 80% agreement with each statement.
