MEMORANDUM

TO: John Craft & Jeff Kirk, SPEAC Co-Chairs SPEAC Members FROM: Susan Humiston, Facilitator, Principal Preparation Program & Principal CAPS Bobbie Eddins, Interim Facilitator, Superintendent Preparation Program & Superintendent CAPS DATE: November 13, 2015 RE: TEA Continuous Improvement Compliance Audit We appreciate the opportunity to provide an overview of findings and next steps related to the recent audit by TEA of our principal and superintendent preparation programs. As you know, each educator preparation program site must be audited at least once every five years. While our programs are very new, we welcomed the opportunity to have TEA staff examine our documents, records, and processes to ensure that we are on the right track moving forward. We prepared close to 200 documents and over 70 student candidate folders for review. Thanks for providing your input through responses to the TEA questionnaire. Because of our faculty’s hard work to continuously improve our programs, the central Texas community’s trust that we are delivering the very best principal and superintendent candidates, and our students’ efforts to achieve at such high levels, the results of the audit were indeed gratifying. The following is a synopsis of the findings by component:

• Governance – approval of both internal support of our programs and the numbers, diversity, and quality of input

from the field concerning our programs, particularly the SPEAC/CAPS structure. Improvement step: make sure that pertinent information is shared and input is gathered for both programs during every SPEAC meeting.

• Admissions Criteria – approval of the amount and scope of information provided through the admissions process

(requires 22 documents to admit a principal or superintendent candidate). Improvement step: make sure that all candidates have official transcripts showing degree conferral and for principal candidates, a GPA for the last 60 hours

• f coursework; and strengthen multiple reviewer scoring norms.
• Curriculum – no improvement steps.
• Program Delivery/Ongoing Support – approval of many program learning activities and principal practicum structure.

Improvement steps: utilization of a viable option for newly required practicum site-supervisor mentor training, and verification of required hours in candidate practicum logs as well as initial contact/135 hours of observation for each superintendent candidate individually in practicum.

• Program Evaluation – no improvement steps.
• Professional Conduct – no improvement steps.
• Complaint Process – no improvement steps.
• Certification – no improvement steps.

NOTE: Verification of documentation for Tarleton/TAMUCT crossover candidates due by February 1, 2016. We would appreciate any thoughts or ideas the SPEAC members might have as we move forward to indepth planning meetings with the Superintendent and Principal CAPS groups as well as faculty for both programs. It is our intention to share specific plans related to the above improvement steps at the spring 2016 SPEAC meeting. Thank you.
