2014 NC-ACTE Fall Forum Presentation
The Use of a Meta-Evidence Framework to Streamline CAEP Evidences
Presented September 26, 2014
5. NCATE vs. CAEP
• NCATE
– Write narrative
for each
standard (no
page limit)
– Collect
evidences that
support
narrative
– Create website
for all
documents
– Site Visit
• CAEP
– Determine EPP strongest evidences
– Organize and crosstab all evidences (90
max total evidences)
– Write narrative for each standard (each
std. has an 8000 character max)
– Technology and Diversity are addressed
separately, no new evidence can be
introduced. All evidences must be
included in a previous standard.
– Select one element from one standard for
the Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP)
– Complete CIP documentation
6. NCATE vs. CAEP
• Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP)
– Must be measurable, have pilot and multi-phase
data collections, and have EPP resource
allocation/support
– NOTE: If the CIP is not met, the EPP is deemed to
have not met CAEP accreditation. Must pass CIP
to pass CAEP
7. NCATE vs. CAEP
• Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP)
– NC State CIP is the full implementation of edTPA.
1. edTPA implementation is measurable.
2. We have pilot (Fall 2013) and multi-phase data
(Spring 2014, Fall 2014, Spring 2015).
3. Substantial EPP resource allocation/support
4. edTPA is specifically and repeatedly referenced
within the CAEP standards.
8. Why Create Meta Evidences?
• CAEP allows 90 total evidences
• Each evidence has a file size limit (2mb)
• For each evidence 5 questions must be
answered
– What is the evidence?
– How is quality established?
– Criteria for success
– What does the evidence mean?
– How is the evidence used?
If you use an evidence in multiple standards you must answer the 5
questions each time.
9. How to Create a Meta Evidence
• Create a grid of all evidences aligned to
standards/crosscuts.
• Organize like evidences.
• Prioritize evidences based EPP strengths
• Combine, Summarize, Synthesize, Report
Evidence
• Create a global answer for the 5 questions for
the meta evidence.
10. Hints and Lessons Learned
• Login and review AIMS site for self study report
– Note additional materials are needed that are not explicit in the self study guide
• Begin with Evidences
– Conceptulize, organize, think through evidences
– EPP strengths not kitchen sink.
• Start BIG
– Holistically review standards and crosscuts.
– Small core team (big picture) vs multiple committees
• Leave ample time for review and re-thinking evidence layout and
presentation.
• Create an in-house website to store everything you did not include plus
additional documentation for what you did present.
• Select a CIP that the EPP has data, support, and is in progress.
• This is new to everyone so be prepared to present ANYTHING.
