Improving CTE Programs with Data and Evidence Guide
Mar 26, 2012 | Beth Cataldo & Kelley Karandjeff, EdM, the RP Group
This inquiry guide and related resources aim to support CTE faculty in using and generating data, dialoging with their colleagues about findings, implementing changes and engaging in ongoing assessment of those innovations. The inquiry guide offers a recursive cycle for program improvement that faculty drive based on student success challenges they observe in their own classrooms and throughout their program. It discusses the types of evidence that faculty can use to help effect program change, including qualitative and quantitative data, and offers tools and guided inquiry for contextualizing this cycle in the unique circumstances of individual community colleges.
