PASS-PORT was originally developed as a state-wide assessment and electronic portfolio management system for Louisiana teacher preparation programs pursuing NCATE accreditation. This strong educational foundation has led to the development of unique features that provide a variety of sophisticated assessment and reporting techniques to faculty and administrators.
PASS-PORT directly addresses the NCATE standards that require higher education institutions to:
- have a viable performance assessment system in place that makes professional education programs accountable for demonstrating how they prepare teachers and support personnel to impact K-12 student learning (Standard 2);
- have a coherent system to manage and evaluate field experiences and clinical practice of student interns (Standard 3);
- ensure candidates are working with diverse higher education and school faculty, diverse candidates, and diverse students in P-12 schools (Standard 4);
- have a systematic means of collecting and analyzing faculty evaluation data and how faculty use these data to improve their teaching, scholarship and service (Standard 5);
- utilize current data for use in budgeting and program planning, faculty load/distribution/assignments (Standard 6).
