The following CAEP Measure data are from the academic year 2024-2025, unless otherwise noted.
泭
Measure 1: Completer Effectiveness (Initial Level)
Data must address: (a) completer impact in contributing to P-12 student-learning growth AND (b) completer effectiveness in applying professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions.泭
Completers were asked to rate how well their 91勛圖厙 teacher education program prepared them on a 1 to 7 Likert scale (1= Not at all, 2, 3, 4= Moderately, 5, 6, 7= Extremely). Surveys are sent to School of Education completers twice a year, within five years of graduation.

Completer Survey Results泭
Completers were asked to rate how well their 91勛圖厙 teacher education program prepared泭them on a 1 to 7 Likert scale (1= Not at all, 4= Moderately, 7= Extremely). The majority of泭completers rated their preparation toward the extremely well prepared side of the scale泭(5, 6, or 7). The factored means and the total percentage of respondents who said the泭School of Education programs enhanced their ability in the following areas:泭
Employers Survey (Initial)
When the completer grants permission, a survey is sent to the employer. Employers were asked to rate泭how well their 91勛圖厙 teacher education program prepared them on a 1 to 7 Likert scale (1= Not at all, 2,泭3, 4= Moderately, 5, 6, 7= Extremely).
Measure 2 (Initial and Advanced): Satisfaction of employers and stakeholder involvement. (R4.2, R5.3,泭RA4.1)
Data provided should be collected on employers satisfaction with program completers.
Measure 3 (Initial and Advanced): Candidate competency at completion. (R3.3)
