CAEP Annual Reporting Measures
Last updated May 2024
Measure 1. Completer Effectiveness and Impact on P-12 Student Learning
SDSU works with local school districts to retrieve completer effectiveness data. The state also uses the Danielson Observation Framework to measure teaching effectiveness in the classroom.
Those who employ our completers at the initial level felt very positively about their preparation. 96% reported that completers were fully or moderately ready to meet the needs of their school. At focus groups, most participants reported feeling very confident in the abilities of SDSU teacher education program completers to have a positive impact on P-12 learners.
2022-2023 Employer Survey Data
SDSU Teacher Education surveys beginning teachers in their first and second year of teaching to determine their sense of effectiveness and their impact on P-12 learners. Initial program completers reported confidence in their preparation. The average response across all preparations areas was that they felt prepared to work with students based on their program preparation.
2022-2023 Beginning Teacher Survey Data
Measure 2. Satisfaction of Employers and Stakeholder Involvement
SDSU is focused on collecting credible, actionable evidence so that our program can grow through feedback and connection with stakeholders. We do a focus group with administrators each fall and spring to talk about our teacher candidates they have worked with. We also complete an employer survey each academic year with those who employ our completers.
2022-2023 Employer Survey Data
For advanced programs, we conduct a focus group with principals and superintendents to discuss our principal preparation. This group meets fall and spring to help improve our curriculum and field experiences.
Measure 3. Candidate Competency at Completion
Title II Section 207 of the Higher Education Act (HEA) requires states, as recipients of HEA funds and all institutions with teacher preparation programs that enroll students receiving federal financial assistance, to prepare annual reports on teacher preparation and licensing. These reports, available for traditional and alternative programs resulting in initial licensure, detail the enrollment and completion of our candidates.
2022-2023 Title II Report* (awaiting state pass rates, see licensure pass rates below)
SDSU graduates exceed the mean scores required for their licensure exams across program areas and are required to maintain a 2.7 GPA in teacher education and content coursework. These scores are reflected in the above Title II report.
SDSU graduates in initial licensure programs complete a Capstone assignment which has them provide artifacts of evidence of growth in program goals which are aligned with InTASC, NAEYC, CEC or CAEP K-6 depending on the program.
