History


Purpose


PASS-PORT was designed to help Louisiana Collges and Universities meet NCATE accreditation standards for their Teacher Education programs. It assists administrators in collecting, aggregating, and reporting performance-based assessment data -- aligned to accreditation standards -- from a number of sources:

★ ''File Artifacts'' submitted by students for review by a faculty member

★ ''Professional Development Experiences''

★ ''Field Experiences'' with associated assessments from faculty members and participating teacher mentors

★ ''Web Links'' to student works

★ ''Student Self Assessments'' in the form of questionnaires

★ ''Faculty Assessments'' of student performance

★ ''Standardized Tests'' such as the Praxis battery

★ ''Course Grades''
It has a template-based design which allows administrators to design their own evaluation instruments and associate those measurements directly to standards. PASS-PORT also collects Demographic data on students, faculty members, and field experience participants. It also automates the review process associated with a student's transition points (which PASS-PORT calls a 'portal').
