Student Learning Outcome (SLO) #2: Students will be able to assess cultural factors and how they impact the decision-making processes within the field of education.

Assessment: Candidates shall write a paper in which they select and examine and evaluate cultural factors (examples: language diversity, socioeconomic factors, cultural values) that play a role in shaping decision-making in the development of educational policies.

Candidates shall analyze three positive and three negative consequences/impact of the cultural factors that shape decision-making in the development of educational policy on diverse populations, particularly diverse student populations, and make suggestions for addressing and redressing the negative consequences/impact.

Candidates shall score 3 (Proficient) or 4 (Target) on a scale of 1 to 4 where 1 is Unacceptable, 2 is Emerging, 3 is Proficient, and 4 is Target. This assignment shall also be graded out of 100 points.

There is some evidence of an examination and evaluation of two cultural factors that impact educational policy decision-making.	There is ample evidence of an examination and evaluation of three cultural factors that impact educational policy decision-making.
Analysis of Positive and Negative Consequences and Impacts of Decision-making on Diverse Populations, particularly on diverse student populations (APNC)	There is little to no evidence of an exploration of positive and negative impacts of educational policy decision-making on diverse populations, particularly diverse student populations.	There is evidence of an exploration of one positive and one negative impact of educational policy decision-making on diverse populations, particularly diverse student populations.	There is evidence of an exploration of two positive and two negative impacts of educational policy decision-making on diverse populations, particularly diverse student populations.	There is ample evidence of an exploration of three positive and three negative impacts of educational policy decision-making on diverse populations, particularly diverse student populations.
Integration of Examples and Evidence to support statements made (IEE)	There is little to no evidence of integration of examples and evidence to support statements made in relation to examination and evaluation of cultural factors and analysis of positive and negative impacts of educational policy decision-making on diverse populations.

Diverse student populations are barely mentioned or not mentioned at all in the paper.	There is some evidence that there is consideration of diverse student populations in the paper. Diverse student populations are mentioned once in the paper.	There is some evidence that there is consideration of diverse student populations in the paper.
