BASIC PREMISE OF THE REVISIONS Accreditation vs. Certification Accredit ditat atio ion (CAA) Outcomes, structure, & processes associated with educational program Certif ific icat atio ion (CFCC) Concerned with knowledge & skills of gradu duat ates Dependent on qualit ity o of accredit itat atio ion p process ss (CAA) Not prescriptive of process of education (CAA) Involves verif ific icat atio ion o of acquisit isition of Certification K&S by program, successfu ful c l comple letion on of CF, pass pass national examination
IN ADDITION, THERE WERE SOME GENERAL CHANGES Used same organization as 2011 Audiology Standards Removed a lot of program process language (CAA responsibility), focus on outcomes e.g. Ordering of courses, describing program documentation, clinical hours, etc. Reduced procedural language i.e. How to apply Tried to focus on What What applicants should look like, not How they were prepared
GREATEST CONCERNS Remo moval al o of format mative a assessme ment St Statis istic ics/ s/ma mathema matic ics Recomme mendatio ion o of physic sics a s and c d chemis istry
SO WE HEARD YOU – WHAT DID WE DO ABOUT IT? Although we continue to believe that accreditation should address the educational process and certification should address the product, we accept that this is an idea whose time has not yet come, partially because we don’t yet have sufficient metrics to evaluate an applicant’s readiness for certification separate from the program director’s sign off.
MYTH BUSTER: FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT Removal of formative assessment: the requirement for formative assessment as part of the educational process was not reinstated; it remains the purview of the CAA
MYTH BUSTER: STATISTICS REQUIREMENT Statistics/mathematics : 2014 S SLP S LP Stand andar ard IV IV-A The e ap applic icant ant m mus ust have d e dem emons nstrat ated ed kno nowled edge ge o of the b biologica cal s l science ces, ph physica cal l sciences, statistics cs, and and the social ial/beh ehavio ioral al s scienc iences. The change from mathematics to statistics was retained to support the findings from the 2009 Practice Analysis supporting the perquisite knowledge for statistics for an individual entering the profession.
MYTH BUSTER: PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY REQUIREMENT Stan andar dard d IV IV-A The The appl applican ant mu must h have de demo monstrated k knowl wledg dge of the b bio iological sc scie iences, ph physi sical sc scie iences, st statistics, an and d the social/ l/beha havi viora oral s l sciences. Implementation: Acceptable le courses in in ph physi sical sc scie iences sh should include de p physic sics o s or chemist mistry. This wording was chosen to provide guidance to the programs in determining what courses should be included, but to leave the specific decisions to the discretion of the program director. Although the CFCC suggests that physics or chemistry would be the optimal choices, the final decision is ultimately left in the hands of the programs.
CHANGES TO THE SLP PRAXIS Computer-based testing (CBT)is now available. New test code 5330 for CBT exam Test regeneration is underway that map to the 2014 SLP Standards New SLP Praxis exam will be launched September 2014
