Payment for exceptions to non-degree student 1 semester subscriptions

DDSA will notify Departments/Programs that they will need to pay for 1-semester accounts ($25) for non-degree students that are permitted to take a 2nd course without being admitted into a degree program and will need to upload key assessments into TS

What data should be in TS

NCATE/CAEP Key assessment data 

DDSA Data Entry Accuracy 

Data must be entered in TS by one person (then logged in the data collection log) and confirmed/submitted by a second person and logged accordingly. 

Effort not to waste subscriptions

For those programs that have not gone live, TS will create non-submission accounts for students upon request.

In order to set up TS student and faculty accounts, TS requires the GWU NETID.

Students and faculty will be required to obtain their net ID’s in order to activate their TS accounts. 

Training new students each semester

Lead program faculty are responsible for sending information about training to students and faculty. DDSA recommends that faculty post guides to their Blackboard community. 

Rubrics

All rubrics (revised/new), must include the following information:

1. SPA standard alignment for each criteria,
2. Assessment name,
3. Course, dept. / program,
4. Rubric item weights (only if it is an inequitable distribution)
5. Description of the assignment
6. Instructions for completion

Code and rubric changes

Lead faculty must approve all rubric changes to NCATE/CAEP key assessments, before changing the rubric with DDSA/TS.

Timing of Data Entry

Faculty must enter data for key assessments no later than the last week of classes for the semester in which they were offered.

Students forgetting to upload and submit work in TS by the end of the semester
