Teacher Education Improvement Project 1985-1986. Final Project Report.
Grambling State Univ., LA. Coll. of Education.
The purpose of the Teacher Education Improvement Project at Grambling State University (Louisiana) was to document the change processes and products the institution used to improve performance of prospective teachers. The intent was to validate the effectiveness of planned programs of change in five areas: student assessment; faculty development; curriculum revision; instructional development; and program monitoring and evaluation. By replicating its own model, documenting project activities, synthesizing college records, collaborating with consultants and other institutions, and engaging in formative and summative evaluation activities, the university was able to demonstrate that the model provided four major outcomes: (1) an improved pass rate of graduates on the National Teacher Examination (from 6 to 86 percent); (2) an updated curriculum; (3) increased enrollment; and (4) an improved public image. This manual describes in detail the project, Grambling State University, change objectives, program activities, and project results. (CB)
