Interpretation of Results
Extent this Learning Outcome has been achieved by students (Use both direct and indirect measure results):
ELCC Standards # 3 0 Managerial Leadership & 6 Larger School Context for these Critical Assignments indicated all students
exceeded the Aggregated rating. This is indicative of a strong understanding of the application of the statements.
Program strengths and opportunities for improvement relative to assessment of outcome:
In Ed 587, students engage in case studies related to legal issues in daily school events. They also do legal in-baskets and analyze
various court cases related to school issues. A most valuable experience is their final project (Critical Assignment) in which they
review and revise their own school parent-student handbook and faculty handbook, applying legal standards and theory in their
revisions. Even with the online delivery of this course, students engage lively with the professor and receive on-going feedback on
their handbook revisions. Discussion Board allows students to demonstrate knowledge and share in the collective review of issues to
enable candidates to use resources and become aware of practical ways to insure a safe and effective school climate and effective
management that is sensitive to legal issues. These students have mastered the skills related to ED587.
In ED 591, students must utilize the knowledge and concepts of resources related to safe and effective management of school issues.
They are required to create a school budget, as well as create a five- year plan as part of the final project (critical assignment). Topics
related to effective management, budget, and issues of finance and of development are topics discussed in the Discussion Board. The
dialog exchange helps students to sharpen their methods of inquiry and grow in their knowledge and application of concepts and
theories related to finance and development. Under the current economical conditions these students seemed to have mastered the
concept and its application well.
