ED8538 Advanced Curriculum and Instruction: Program Evaluation
Learners develop the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for effective program evaluation by analyzing trends, issues, and initiatives related to data-based decision making, which is one of the desired outcomes of program evaluation. Through the process of reflection and practical application, learners identify the integral role program evaluation plays in the improvement of curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Learners who have taken ED5538 should not take ED8538. Rather, they should choose any other PhD-level education course to fulfill their specialization requirements. This course requires access to a P-12 classroom and/or educational stakeholders in a P-12 school or district. Cannot be fulfilled by transfer.
