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.

* Data provided by Ohio Department of Education via 2024 ODHE EPP Report (linked above).

Completer Focus Groups

The results of focus groups conducted in the 2021-2022 academic year are available at the link above. Completer Focus Groups will be conducted again in the 2025-2026 academic year, and the results will be available in 2026. 

Impact on P-12 Learning and Development

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 , 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

ºÚÁÏÍø’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 again in the 2025-2026 academic year. The results of the survey's next distribution will be available in 2026.

Stakeholder Involvement

Partner Focus Groups

See pages 6-7 for focus groups conducted in the 2021-2022 academic year. Partner Focus Groups will be conducted in the 2025-2026 academic year with the results being available in 2026. 

Clinical Partner Survey

The Clinical Experience Advisory Committee (CEAC) survey was last conducted in 2022. We plan to re-administer this survey periodically to avoid overburdening our partners.

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, .

4. Ability of completers to be hired in education positions for which they have prepared.

Employment Data

ºÚÁÏÍø is currently working with a vendor to assist in the 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 2026.

Completer Persistence in Employment
