Abstract: Storing program data, including demographic information, grades, licensure scores, field placement sites, and more in a relational database can greatly facilitate inquiry about program quality by allowing quick analysis of data in ways that would be prohibitively cumbersome if done by hand. Faculty and staff will demonstrate the School of Education’s relational database including monitoring reports, data structures, examples of how the data informs decisions within the quality control system, and how data is leveraged to support student learning, program revision, and outcomes based assessment to support teacher training. |
