1 Health and Physical Education, M.S. Non Teaching Endorsement Degree Program Report Admission: The Master of Science in Health and Physical Education offers an on-line program focused on the types of knowledge and skills that will enhance one s effectiveness as a teacher of physical and health education. Students are required to attend two, two-week intensive sessions during two consecutive summers. Each 2 week intensive session includes 2, 3 credit graduate level classes. Students are also required to enroll and successfully complete 6 credits of online graduate coursework each quarter of the 2 program. : Table 1.

Graduation Requireme nt

5 Measurements Admission: In order to be considered for admission into the degree program, application must be made to the graduate school. In addition to general university requirements for admission to the graduate school, full admission to the graduate program in Health and Physical Education requires an undergraduate degree with a major in the student s desired area of study. After applications are complete, information is given to a graduate student selection committee. No more than 13 students are accepted. Specific Alignment to standards is delineated in Table 2. Types of measurement include Livetext rubrics, thesis/project completion, tally post graduation professional contributions. Data is collected in combination between course and program. Aggregated Data Artifact Mapping: See Table 2. Transition Measures: Actual matrix documenting the relationship between data collected, standards, and timing of assessment can be found in Table 2. See Livetext Rubrics by going to Livetext and viewing. Syllabi will be posted via the CTL website. Table 5. Admission/Graduation Data Status Year Admitted Total Admitted Completed Table 5 provides a significant piece of information concerning this degree. Students seem to be consistently interested in the Degree and the method of instruction. However, students are typically unable to complete the degree in the two window. In all cases, the students who were admitted and lasted through the first summer intensive stayed in the program. However, only 54% of the students have graduated. In all instances the 46% who have not graduated have not completed their thesis/project. Recognizing that this tends to be a hang up, numerous adjustments have been made in the schedule. The first adjustment was to move the first 3 credits of graduate research where students start working on ideas for the thesis/project from the winter quarter of the second to the summer of the second. This led to more students finishing closer to the end of the second but clearly not enough. The adjustment in the schedule for the newest cohort will include the summer graduate research class to remain in the second summer with the first 3 credits of thesis/project to be offered during the fall of the second. Hopefully, this will keep students focused on the thesis/project as soon as they develop ideas and give them more time to finish. Of course this remains to be seen. Table 6.

The major artifact that is created encompasses numerous standards including the writing, knowledge of teaching and curriculum and the relationship to technology and its uses in the classroom. All of this is brought together with the students writing and research of professional data through technology. Given that the report included above is the first major assignment of their two program, they did relatively well on the content knowledge component. Their writing skills weren t bad but there is still room for improvement and their ability to write in a professional manner that accommodates literature is in the greatest need for improvement. This would also indicate that the students who were admitted into the program come in relatively prepared and ready to complete work at the graduate level. However with only one artifact collected on the new cohort of students, little is known about their quality.
