| Assessment Description | The students completed a final assessment which involved analyzing real-life scenarios and applying the concepts used in class to that analysis. This was a final/summative assignment. We also completed an in-class community resource 'Scavenger Hunt' to increase student awareness and knowledge of relevant community resources. |
| Learning Outcomes | C. Create an inclusive learning environment that promotes full success of all students, implementing strategies to support children with specific learning disabilities. D. Plan multi-sensory teaching strategies to address specific learning disabilities in the classroom. E. Describe community resources to help with identification and assessment of specific learning disabilities. |

Data Analysis
| Data Shared With | Faculty and staff within our department |
|---|---|
| Data Sharing Methods | Face-to-face meetings |
| Data Summary | In Fall 2012 and Spring 2013, 80% of students scored at proficient or higher on the final assessment. In Fall 2012, Students rated their understanding of 3 SLOs on a scale of 1 to 7, indicating a high level of self-assessment of those SLOs; the averages of all three were above 6. |
| Analysis Summary | I looked at the lowest score on the self-assessment from the fall and decided to adapt the SLO to match the core concepts currently taught in the course. As it is a new course, SLOs are evolving. I also broke down student achievement by SLO area and found that their understanding of multi-sensory techniques was not as strong as their understanding in other areas. |
| Next Steps Planned | I plan to update and resubmit the official course outline in Fall 2013 to change one SLO and appropriate corresponding course activities and evaluation methods. I will also build on and improve the new Community Resources Scavenger Hunt and build on the new and improved lessons on multi-sensory teaching developed this Spring. |
