|---|---|
|
Overview |
The EPP understands the importance of reviewing data aligned to completers’ effectiveness in applying professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions. This evidence packet includes completer achievement in knowledge, skills, and dispositions as determined by their principal. The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) annually requests all principals within the state to evaluate EPP completers through a survey that poses 21 questions that incorporate graduates’ knowledge, skills, and dispositions assessed by employers within an academic year. The IDOE principal survey is designed with a 1-4 Likert scale rating believed to follow the below scale:

Future Direction |
While data is limited, the IDOE-issued Principal Surveys of completers provide valuable insight into graduates’ performance as indicated by professional knowledge, skills, and disposition. The consistently positive survey answers provide the EPP with valued insight into how the teacher preparation program influences completers’ performance in these areas. The Employer Surveys, Graduate Surveys, Employer Focus Groups, and Completer Focus Groups provide important perceptions of the teacher preparation program, and the EPP can triangulate this data to evaluate completer performance. The EPP looks forward to continued collaboration with the IDOE through collected Principal Surveys to identify additional data for review. Holistically, these various and differentiated measures will inform the EPP on areas of strengths and improvement that will help inform the annual program review. |
