CAEP requires that educator preparation programs (EPPs) collect and report data addressing (a) completer impact in contributing to P-12 student-learning growth and (b) completer effectiveness in applying professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions. We collect impact data primarily by surveying students in classes taught by our completers in years 1 and 3 of their teaching career. State-level data has proven to be difficult to collect given the low number of completers that the EPP produces each year. We collect completer effectiveness data by surveying administrators in schools that employ our completers in their first and third years of teaching and by collecting completer perceptions of the effectiveness of their preparation.

For Measure 2, EPPs must collect and provide evidence of employer’s satisfaction with program completers. We collect this data primarily through surveys sent to administrators in schools where our completers are employed in years 1 and 3 of their teaching career. The EPP has MOUs with five local school districts and the Arkansas Virtual Academy for placement of candidates in field experience assignments. Partner districts are represented on LATEC, the institutional oversight committee for the EPP.

EPPS must provide evidence that completers are hired in positions for which they have prepared.
