CAEP Annual Reporting Measures
Per the CAEP handbook: the annual reporting measures provide incentives for providers to routinely gather, analyze, and report critical data about their programs as one means for public accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement. The data encourage in-depth evaluation, self-interrogation, and reporting, and they are useful for both employers and prospective applicants.
Supporting evidence is provided by academic year.

2022-2023 Impact Measures
KSU 2023 Ohio Educator Preparation Provider Performance Report (PDF)
1. Completer effectiveness and impact on P-12 learning and development (Component R1.4).
Completer Effectiveness
Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) Data
OTES is the primary source of data we use to evaluate program impact and to assess completer effectiveness. This research-based educator evaluation tool was developed by educators from diverse fields and is used by Ohio school districts to evaluate teacher performance.

Value-Added Measures
Value-Added data are a subset of data related to student growth from OTES. Value-added data only cover select content areas and age bands.
*Value-Added Data were not collected by the state for 2020. For historical value-added data, see KSU's 2019 CAEP Annual Report.
†Beginning in the 2022 reporting year, the Ohio Department of Education has shifted the scaling on this metric to a three-color system, consisting of evidence of 'lesser than expected growth', 'expected growth', and 'greater than expected growth.' This change in scaling will affect the ability for longitudinal comparison.2. Satisfaction of employers and stakeholder involvement (Components R4.2; R5.3; R4.1).
Satisfaction of Employers
Employer Survey
Kent State University’s Research and Evaluation Bureau conducted a phone survey with area administrators about their satisfaction with the preparation of our graduates. The survey was last conducted in the 2020-21 academic year; we plan to administer the survey every three years to avoid overburdening our partners. The results of the survey's next distribution will be available in 2025.

3. Candidate competency at program completion (Components R3.3; R3.4).
Ohio Assessments for Educators
The Ohio Assessments for Educators (OAE) program assesses the content-area and professional (pedagogical) knowledge of candidates who are seeking initial Ohio educator licensure or adding a new licensure area. The assessments are aligned with Ohio's Learning Standards. Ohio licensure candidates are required to successfully complete only ONE assessment of professional (pedagogical) knowledge for their first license. The addition of other licensure areas or endorsements will require only successful completion of the associated content-area assessment. For more information see, OAE Requirements by Licensure Area & Grade Level.

4. Ability of completers to be hired in education positions for which they have prepared.
Employment Data
Kent State University is currently working with a vendor to assist in identification of post-program employment in educational settings; data have been collected for four semesters’ worth of graduates, but response rates are so low they are not interpretable. We do not have enough data to provide for review at this time but anticipate being able to do so in 2025.

2021-2022 Impact Measures
Note: The Ohio Departments of Education and Higher Education are currently experiencing data issues related to the annual Educator Preparation Performance Report (EPPR) . The data presented herein are what we were most recently provided by the State as of the CAEP Annual Report submission deadline of 4/30/2023. Several Ohio EPPs have reported potential data errors to ODE/ODHE, which are currently investigating. We believe our performance report may contain such inaccuracies. When updated or corrected data become available, we will update the data tables for this page, upload a new PDF report, and note when such changes were made.

**Graduate Programs: Beware interpreting these percentages; these data include MAT, M.Ed in Physical Education (Curriculum & Instruction major), and any non-degree graduate licensure tracks. The non-degree tracks are new and do not result in graduation, so the graduation rate will be artificially low for graduate students; we are currently developing a process for closing these records out.

Data provided are presented as program admission to graduation persistence; for undergraduate students, only candidates admitted for advanced study are counted in graduation rate calculations. For graduate students, this number reflects the percentage of students who graduated from degree programs resulting in licensure (some programs allow for both licensure and non-licensure students, and if intentions were not identified, they are not included in the rate).
6. Ability of completers to meet licensing (certification) and any additional state requirements; Title II (initial & advanced levels)
For initial teacher licensure programs (graduate and undergraduate), the data are derived from Title II.
For advanced programs, we calculate completers’ ability to meet licensing requirements a variety of ways.
For our “add-on” advanced programs (additional licensure/endorsement candidates), we are awaiting guidance on if or how the Ohio Department of Higher Education wants us to count these programs. At this time, we are working on a more sophisticated tracking system to ensure more complete data. In the past, additional licensure and endorsement candidates have enrolled through a variety of pathways (not specifically designated for that purpose). Because of this, we are only officially made aware of their intentions to pursue licensure at the time of application for licensure — at the conclusion of the sequence of courses. Of those, we can evaluate the applicants who are approved for licensure as having met the requirements (which may, but not always, include a licensing examination).
We calculate principal program completers’ ability to meet licensing requirements by evaluating the number of completers that have passed state licensing examinations after graduating from degree programs resulting in licensure. This practice will change in the future (using the same methods we are introducing for additional licenses and endorsements). For superintendent candidates, we review completers of the program (a certificate) against licensure application/approval records).
7. Ability of completers to be hired in education positions for which they have prepared (initial & advanced levels)
Kent State University is currently working with a vendor to assist in identification of post-program employment in educational settings; data have been collected for two semesters’ worth of graduates, but response rates are very low as the survey was rolled out late for the May 2018 graduating class. We do not have enough data to provide for review at this time, but anticipate being able to do so in 2021.
