Eight Annual Reporting Measures
The CAEP Annual Reporting Measures work together as indicators of EPP performance in relation to candidates as they complete preparation, and to completers once they are on the job. They are basic indicators of an EPP’s performance sought by many external audiences—policymakers, parents, stakeholders, and the media, for example. CAEP defines the Annual Reporting Measures to include four impact measures:
- Impact on P-12 student learning and development
- Indicators of teaching effectiveness
- Satisfaction of employers and employment milestones
- Satisfaction of completers
CAEP reporting measures also include the following outcome and consumer measures for initial candidates and completers at both the Initial- and Advanced-Levels:
- Graduation rates (Initial & Advanced)
- Ability of completers to meet licensing (certification) and any additional state requirements; Title II (Initial & Advanced)
- Ability of completers to be hired in education positions for which they have prepared (Initial & Advanced)
- Student loan default rates and other consumer information (Initial & Advanced) [NOTE: CAEP does not use consumer information in accreditation decision making.]
• The EPP’s Self-Study Report will provide analysis of trends, comparisons with benchmarks, identification of changes made in the preparation curricula and experiences, how/where/with whom results are shared, resource allocations affected by the EPP’s uses of the information, and indications of future directions.
