MEASURE 1: Impact on P-12 Learning
The ACT Aspire test in the state of Alabama was discontinued in 2017. This test was designed to measure how students in grades 3, 8, and 10 performed in reading and mathematics and how students in grades 5, 7, and 10 perform in science. Subsequently, in the fall of 2017, the state adopted the Scantron ACT as the replacement test to measure growth in math, reading and science. The test was first administered in the spring of 2018, and in the 2018-2019 school year.
However, no impact data was provided to individual institutions on how their program completers scored or ranked. At this point, the state has consulted with Data Recognition Corp to create, and roll out a new summative state test and a system designed to provide universities with impact data in 2020. This has not yet occurred. Given the fact that the state has not in past provided impact data,
Tuskegee University working in conjunction with K-12 partners designed a case study in the fall of 2020 designed to provide quality measures of candidate impact on P-12 learning. Tuskegee’s School of Education identified (3) program completers to participate in the case studies with a goal of having at least two to three participants per semester. The case studies are being conducted in the spring of 2021. For the case study, completers were asked to develop and teach a unit utilizing a pre-posttest design and then document student growth. Further, an observation is required to conducted of the lesson being taught. While the content of the unit is determined by the classroom teacher, reporting measures such as a clearly defined rubric, are required by the EPP. As an additional data point, P-12 student achievement on district level assessments are being sought as well. Data from the case study will be collected May and analyzed in June, 2021.
MEASURE 2: Indicators of Teaching Effectiveness
The EPP continues to utilize the ALACTE survey for employers of new teachers to collect teacher effectiveness data. Further, the EPP partnered with Tripod services to collect teacher effectiveness data on program completers who are 1-4 years out of their programs. The first administration of the Tripod Survey will occur in May of 2021. This data will be collected and analyzed once collected. Data from the 2020 ALACTE Survey revealed that out of the 26 survey items, Tuskegee’s School of Education First Year completers were rated above the Alabama statewide average in the “Teacher Leader” category on 22 items (84%). Further, when assessing the “Teacher Leader and Effective Teacher” categories, Tuskegee completers were rated at or above the statewide average on 18 of the 26 items (69%).
MEASURE 3: Satisfaction of Employers and Employment Milestones
Employer satisfaction data is collected at three points in time on program completers via EPP created surveys and the ALACTE survey which is state administered. The first survey administration is at the end of the teacher’s first year of teaching (Employer 1 Year Out Survey). The second administration is after the teacher’s third year of teaching (Employer 3 Year Out Survey) and the third survey administration point is upon completion of the completer’s first year of teaching via the ALACTE Survey. The ALACTE Survey was created by the Alabama Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (ALACTE) and is administered by the Alabama State Department of Education.
In the spring of 2020, realizing the need to better align and expand the completer satisfaction surveys to meet CAEP requirements and to collect more data beneficial to the EPP in making programmatic decisions, the EPP working with K-12 partners, redeveloped the surveys. The first administration of the redeveloped EPP employer satisfaction survey was distributed in the spring of 2021 to collect data on 1 and 3 years out completers. This data will be collected in May, 2021 and analyzed in June, 2021.
Data from the 2019-2020 ALACTE Survey revealed that out of the 26 survey items, Tuskegee’s School of Education First Year completers were rated above the Alabama statewide average in the “Teacher Leader” category on 22 items (84%). Further, when assessing the “Teacher Leader and Effective Teacher” categories, Tuskegee completers were rated at or above the statewide average on 18 of the 26 items (69%).

MEASURE 4: Satisfaction of Completers
Completer satisfaction data is collected at three points in time on program completers via EPP created surveys. The first survey administration is upon completion/graduation utilizing the Completer Exit Survey. The next survey administration is at the end of the teacher’s first year of teaching (1 Year Out Survey). And, the third administration is after the teacher’s third year of teaching (3 Year Out Survey). Completer satisfaction survey data is also collected and distributed annually to the EPP via the Educator Preparation Institutional Report Card. The survey was created by the Alabama Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (ALACTE) and is administered by the Alabama State Department of Education.
In the spring of 2020, realizing the need to better align and expand the completer satisfaction surveys to meet CAEP requirements and to collect more data beneficial to the EPP in making programmatic decisions, the EPP working with K-12 partners, redeveloped the surveys. The first administration of the redeveloped EPP completer exit survey was administered in the fall of 2020. The first administration of the redeveloped EPP completer satisfaction survey was distributed in the spring of 2021 to collect data on 1 and 3 years out completers. This data will be collected in May 2021 and analyzed in June, 2021.
Data from the Fall 2020 Completer Exit Survey revealed that program completer’s overall satisfaction with the preparation was a 3.66 out of 4. The data collected was on a 4 item likert scale with categories as follows: (very Satisfied=4, Satisfied=3, dissatisfied=2, and very dissatisfied=1). The thirteen categories within the survey and survey results were as following: I. satisfaction, II. Content and Pedagogical Content Knowledge, III. Teaching Students with Diverse needs, IV.
