| Education Policy and Practice for Changing Populations Program Description |
| The program’s SLOs focus on critical policy analysis, effective leadership, and the practical application of equity-focused policies. Assessment methods for these outcomes <br>include: <br> <br>• Course-level Assessments: Each course will have clearly defined objectives, which will be evaluated through assignments, case studies, and examinations. <br> <br>• Practicum Sequence Evaluations: During each practicum phase, students will submit reflective journals, policy proposals, and stakeholder feedback, demonstrating their ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. <br> <br>• Capstone Project: The final written project will synthesize knowledge and skills gained throughout the program. It will be evaluated by a faculty panel using a standardized rubric that measures analytical rigor, feasibility, and impact on educational equity. |
