Arkansas Standards for School Counselors+

As evidenced by the matrix, each program is aligned to its respective national and/or state standards. Specifically, programs create their SPA reports demonstrating this alignment, and the syllabi and major course assignment rubrics provide further evidence of this alignment. Links to the Program reports may be found on the Arkansas Tech University School of Education NCATE website. In addition links to particular standards-based, program-related syllabi and assessment rubrics are also available on this site. As discussed previously, the respective program standards provide the benchmarks for our program development, assessment, progress, and revision.

System of Assessment:

Information concerning the system whereby candidate performance is regularly assessed and how these results are then used to revise our programs is available on the Arkansas Tech University School of Education NCATE website within the Standard 2 heading. The specific explanation of this process is found under Exhibit 2.1 – The Unit Assessment System.
