The COE Evaluation Center
(EC) coordinates
all of the assessment and evaluation tasks for the unit,
divisions, programs, and special projects. There are
five distinct yet mutually encompassing areas that fall
under the umbrella of the Center:

Evaluation processes for the College of
Education are far-reaching, complex, and intensive. The
COE Evaluation Committee developed a comprehensive
evaluation system designed to insure the most efficient
use of time and resources to maximize program
effectiveness. All evaluation processes adhere to the COE
Mission and are aligned with and/or address
NCATE,
CCTC,
and WASC standards.
General Operating Tasks
Maintaining a strong evaluation system
requires on-going processes that support specific
evaluation efforts such as:
4Developing, distributing, and maintaining
forms, logs, surveys, and matrices
4Maintaining files and correspondence
4Coordinating training sessions for faculty
and staff
4Assisting faculty with specific research
items
Unit/Division/Program
Review
Unit assessment activities engage faculty,
staff, and students in a collaborative effort to examine
and modify existing program elements for program
improvement. The review processes include:
4Examining current unit, division, and
program assessment measures
4Implementing multiple measures to assess
the unit, departments, and programs
4Recommending program improvements based on
assessment results
Data
Collection/Analysis/Reports
COE captures data at the Unit,
Division/Program, and Project levels via surveys,
focus–groups, interviews, and other measures. Unit and
Division/Program survey data is collected from graduates
and their employers every 2 (alternating) years in the
Spring Exit and/or Capstone data are collected either
annually or at the end of each semester; all results are
reported annually. Projects are assessed according to
policies/guidelines. Specific survey tasks include:
4Creating scannable forms of existing
surveys
4Tracking the distribution, collection and
scanning of surveys
4Transforming scanned results into databases
(Access, Excel, SPSS)
4Writing SPSS syntax codes for Unit and TED
surveys
4Analyzing data and writing reports for Unit
and TED surveys
4Analyzing data from the CSU Chancellor’s
System-wide survey and writing reports
4Creation of reports for presentations
(PowerPoint and hard copy).
Information Management System
Maintaining accurate databases is an
on-going process and changes as survey and other
assessment data change. Information in databases is
typically used to support data analysis and to develop
trend data. Specific database tasks include:
4Accessing original Banner data; writing
special report programs
4Merging Banner and survey databases for
various reports
4Aligning qualitative text and quantitative
databases for various reports
4Monitoring/maintaining all database
activities
4Providing summary reports utilizing
database information
