Reporting Measures and Data for Stakeholders
Below are sets of data we report to external agencies for review, approval, and accreditation purposes. These data are also for stakeholders (graduates and their families, school and district personnel, University administrators, community members, etc.) to view, to analyze, to use in a critique of EPP, program, candidate, and completer performance.
Title II Data
Each year the EPP submits a Title II report, which goes through the EPSB to the US Department of Education. Title II, Teacher Quality Enhancement, is one of eight specifications in the Higher Education Authority Act of 1965. It outlines the requirement to submit “pass rates and average scaled scores on all assessments required for teacher licensure or certification for all enrolled individuals and completers of traditional and alternative route teacher preparation programs.” Click for background information regarding the HEA, and here for Title II reporting. These data serve to understand our effectiveness at Transition Point 6.
Standard Reporting Measures - The accreditation agency CAEP emphasizes eight reporting measures that the EPP should present to stakeholders

Questions the Data Answer |
Data Source by Transition Point |
| Impact Measure 1: P-12 Learning and Development |
Do our clinical practice candidates, and then graduates, positively impact the PK-12 learners in their classrooms or other educational settings? |
Transition Point 6
EPSB NTS
|
| Impact Measure 2: Indicators of Teaching Effectiveness |
How do we know our graduates are on the correct trajectory toward professionalism? What knowledge, skills, and dispositions define that professionalism throughout a teacher’s career, especially during the first year of employment? |
Transition Point 6
EPSB NTS |
| Impact Measure 3: Satisfaction of Employers & Employment Milestones |
Are the colleagues, principals, and district leaders of our graduates satisfied with their knowledge, skills, dispositions, and overall ability to positively impact on P-12 learners? Do our graduates progress to occupy leadership positions? |
Transition Point 6
EPSB NTS, EPP Focus Groups and Surveys |
| Impact Measure 4: Satisfaction of Completers |
What is the perception of candidates, upon completing the Clinical Practice and (presumably) all other requirements for graduation, of the overall effectiveness of their teacher preparation program? Do they feel prepared to enter the next stage, the Kentucky Teacher Internship Program (KTIP)? |
Transition Point 5
EPP Exit Survey |
| Outcome Measure 5: Graduation Rates |
Do candidates that enter the Teacher Education Program (TEP) graduate in a timely manner? |
Transition Point 5
KCS |
| Outcome Measure 6: Ability of Completers to Meet Licensing Requirements |
While graduation implies one set of requirements related to program and university, earning certification from the state authority implies another set. Do our graduates eventually meet those requirements (Pass Praxis, KTIP)? What percentage of our graduates ultimately enter the profession? |
Transition Point 6
KCS |
| Outcome Measure 7: Ability of Completers to be Hired in Education Position for Which They have Prepared |
Do graduates, who’ve met the requirements for certification, obtain and maintain teaching positions? Do they stay in the profession? |
Transition Point 6
KCS |
| Outcome Measure 8: Student Loan Default Rates |
Do our graduates who carry student-loan debt have the financial ability to meet that payment obligation? Does their income maintain their cost of living? |
Transition Point 6

State Requirements / Internal Measures
The EPSB requires that all programs seeking approval report on the quality and progress of candidates, throughout the journey from admission through certification. EPSB identified areas for measurement that the programs will monitor continuously.
|
Performance Assessment Areas – Initial Programs
EPSB requires Praxis, PLT (as appropriate) and Student Teaching, all remaining assessments are selected by the EPP.
|
MSU/EPP Designated Assessments
Per EPSB, an assessment may be listed multiple times if the measures apply to the appropriate areas.
