complexity of data collection for both the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) and the
Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).

Annual Reporting Measure 3-The following data gives a view of Virginia State University’s College of Education Candidates Competency at completion by using Fall 2022-Spring 2023 PRAXIS II and Teaching of Reading; Assessment of Student Teaching; Exit Assessment; and E-Portfolio data.
The Candidate E-Portfolio is a collection of artifacts based on experiences provided through
course work, field experiences, and clinical practice. The artifacts are matched to the individual
skills that meet each of the InTASC Standards. It integrates all of the College of Education’s
objectives, as well as, the State of Virginia's Endorsement Competencies.
COE E-Portfolio Rubric Report 2022-2023
The student teaching exit assessment is a formal evaluation at the end of clinical practice, assessing teaching skills, dispositions, and preparedness to become a certified teacher. Its purpose is to assist the EPP at Virginia State University in gauging our candidates’ readiness to enter the classroom as a fully licensed instructor, as well as, evaluate our programs ability to produce competent, caring, and culturally responsive reflective practitioners that will work to ensure educational justice for all students they interact with.
Exit Assessment Data F22 - Sp23
The PRAXIS II Content Knowledge tests measure whether prospective teachers have the standards-relevant knowledge, skills, and abilities believed necessary for competent professional practice. These assessments measure your general and subject-specific teaching skills and knowledge. They feature selected-response and constructed response items. The Praxis® tests are administered through an international network of test centers, which includes Prometric® test centers and Strategic Testing Networks (STNs) located in colleges and universities. All tests are delivered by computer, except for Braille Proficiency (0633), and are offered throughout the year.
PRAXIS II and Teaching of Reading
The Assessment of Student Teaching is a candidate evaluation completed weekly by the Cooperating Teacher. Its purpose is to evaluate a student teacher's pedagogical skills, knowledge, and ability to effectively deliver instruction in a classroom setting, allowing supervisors to identify areas of strength and areas needing improvement to guide their development as future educators. Student assessment enables instructors to measure the effectiveness of their teaching by linking student performance to specific learning objectives based on INTASC Standards.
