Because there was a recent
programmatic change based on
data gathered in recent years
for this Assessment, Assessment
2 (transcript analysis), and an
upcoming change in
accreditation standards, faculty
this year are going to be looking
to see if these changes seem to
be having an impact on student
learning based on Praxis II
scores. The cohort beginning in
2014 is the first cohort to fully
experience a narrower focus on
content courses as part of their
summer program; their Praxis II
test results need to be
compared with the 2013-2104
cohort to determine if the
changes are helping students
learn.

Candidates will attain at least a
grade of “C” in 7 of the 10
content courses that addresses
the National Council for Social
Studies (NCSS) Standards.
Transcript analysis data tells us
that our applicants are least
likely to have taken Geography
and Economics prior to
acceptance into the program.
In addition, three other factors
also indicate a programmatic
need in these areas: 1.
Geography and Economics are
represented on the Praxis II
exam, seen in Assessment 1; 2.
Both courses are taught in local
high schools where candidates
are likely to be hired; and 3.
They are two of the four
disciplines of social studies
selected as key in the new NCSS
standards. For all of these
reasons, MAT program faculty
requested the development of
an MAT Geography course,
which was offered for the first
time in summer 2014, and

with the 2014-2015 cohort.
With the transition in content
course schedules occurring
while the 2013-2014 cohort was
going through courses, one
discipline clearly slipped
through the cracks—only 3
students from this cohort took
ECON 524 their first semester.
This was immediately rectified
for the current cohort, 100% of
whom were enrolled in ECON
524 during summer of 2014.
Program faculty plan to monitor
both theme coverage and
theme achievement to ensure
candidates are meeting the

ones in the upcoming

The issue of recognizing
students’ specific abilities
continues to be an issue in the
TWS because interns are still
struggling with teaching wholeclass assignments, let alone
focusing on each and every
individual student they have. In
order to help them feel
comfortable using the kinds of
teaching strategies that will
enable them to back away from
whole-class instruction and
instead incorporate successful
small-group instruction--where
candidates can more freely
spend time with each individual
student--the methods course
this year will heavily focus on
teaching the methods of
Problem-Based Learning (PBL).
The course will especially utilize
technology-assisted PBL, which
is gaining steam in Horry County
Schools, and which candidates
will need to utilize during
internship. The hope is that
emphasizing more inclusive and
individualized methods of
teaching will encourage
candidates to see their students
as individuals and be more
adept at planning for the
individual needs of their
students.
