Asbury University utilizes case studies to measure effectiveness and impact of program completers as they teach in P-12 classrooms. Professors observe and evaluate program graduates teaching a lesson. Following the observations, the faculty meet to discuss findings and identify strengths and areas for growth. The evaluation is based on three of the domains of the Kentucky Framework for Teaching: Planning and Preparation (Domain 1), Classroom Management (Domain 2), and Instruction (Domain 3). Scores are based on a four-point scale of Ineffective (1), Developing (2), Accomplished (3), and Exemplary (4). Expectations for inexperienced teachers are scores within the developing and accomplished categories.
