The College of Education and P-16 Integration (CEP) has designed an assessment system that promotes a culture of inquiry to guide decision-making. Data literacy and reflective practice are key elements for ensuring continuous program improvement.
This system is anchored by a committee of qualified professionals, ensuring a timely and ongoing process of continuous improvement. You can explore further details of the process in the calendars provided below. Additionally, we have established a quality assurance system, along with a Data Summit for faculty and stakeholders, aimed at cultivating a culture of inquiry to drive continuous improvement. Don’t forget to explore the collection of assessment instruments designed to support students in the educator program at UTRGV.
