2020 - 2021
Measure 1 – Completer effectiveness
Data for Measure 1 is currently under development/not yet available due to the limited availability of state and school-level data available during this period. The EPP is currently working with recent completers to determine more effective ways to demonstrate completer effectiveness in schools that do have effectiveness data available. We anticipate that completer effectiveness data will be available for the next reporting cycle.
Measure 2 – Satisfaction of Employers and stakeholder involvement
Due to the low number of respondents to our 2020-2021 alumni and employer surveys, as of the due date of the report, we are not able to assure confidentiality or respondents. As we receive additional responses, we will update this site.
Measure 3 – Candidate Competency at program completion
Measure 4 – Ability of completers to be hired

* Due to the impact of the pandemic, the EPP was not able to carry out the data collection for Standards 4.1: Impact on P - 12 Learning and Development and 4.2: Teacher Effectiveness. We are currently working on obtaining data for the 2020-2021 academic year and anticipate that we will have completer data available by the end of the next reporting period. Because of this, we have included candidate data for 2019-2020 standards 4.1 and 4.2
