CAEP Annual Reporting
CAEP uses annual reporting measures to provide information to the public on both program outcome and program impact. The measures are:
- Measure 1: Impact on P-12 Learning and Development
- Measure 1: Indicators of Teaching Effectiveness
- Measure 2: Satisfaction of Employers — (Initial Programs & Advanced Programs)
- Measure 2: Stakeholder Involvement
- Measure 3: Candidate Competency at Completion — Initial Programs
- Measure 3: Candidate Competency at Completion — Advanced Programs
- Measure 4: Ability of Completers to be Hired — (Initial Programs & Advanced Programs)
Impact on P-12 Learning and Development
As part of their graduate course requirements, five completers over three years conducted action research projects in the P-12 classrooms in which they were currently teaching. Completers in the study identified an area of focus applicable to their students and their setting and developed a research question to guide their inquiry and data collection plans.
Indicators of Teaching Effectiveness
In the survey produced by the AACTE, employers were asked to rate their first-year teachers as Teacher Leader, Effective Teacher, Emerging Teacher, or Ineffective Teacher. Samford completers outperformed the state with regard to understanding and using a variety of instructional strategies and make learning accessible to all learners.
