CAEP REPORTING MEASURES

Measure 1: Completer effectiveness and impact on P-12 student learning.

CAEP accredited EPPs in the University of Maine System, including the University of Maine’s (UMaine) EPP, are working with the Maine Department of Education to design a process for making employment data regarding candidates from all initial certification programs available.

Until that process is complete, the UMaine College of Education and Human Development has posted sample comments from focus groups with PK-12 partner school districts.

A case study approach to better measure completer effectiveness and impact on P-12 learning will be implemented in Winter/Spring 2023.

 

Measure 2: Satisfaction of employers and stakeholder involvement.

EPP has been working to collect this data through a survey of principals. Surveys are sent in the spring of each year, requesting information on students who were certified in the past 3 years. This survey consists of a general employment survey, and an individual teacher survey.

In Spring 2021, a survey was conducted targeting every principal with response rates high enough to be reported (Principal survey Spring ’21). 440 surveyed, 38 responses.

Spring 2022, a survey was conducted targeting 165 principals in districts believed to have Teachers from our programs. (Principal survey Spring ’22). 165 surveyed, 7 general / 9 individual responses.

 

Measure 3: Candidate competency at program completion.
