Teacher Education

Kansas legislature has decided that P-12 student data from state assessments cannot be released.  Thus, MNU’s educator preparation program (EPP) is unable to collect data on how its graduates are performing in the field. The EPP created a case study plan to collect and analyze data from graduates’ classrooms to meet this expectation. This work will begin during the 2018-19 academic year.
 

Measure 1

MNU’s EPP collects data through alumni surveys.  The survey tracks the program’s ability to prepare candidates for the field and their ability to demonstrate effective teaching methods.
 

Measure 2

MNU’s EPP collects data through employer surveys and employment milestones through the alumni survey. The employer survey tracks employer perceptions regarding the readiness of our graduates to perform effectively in the classroom. The EPP also tracks employment milestones accomplished by our alumni.

Measure 3

MNU’s EPP collects data through alumni surveys.  The surveys track the satisfaction of our completers in regards to various aspects of our program.

Measure 4

Graduation rates reflect the ability for our juniors with a declared education major to complete their applicable programs within three years.

Measure 5

Kansas State Department of Education requires completers to pass two licensure exams. One tests completers’ content knowledge for their endorsement subject area and the other exam tests completers’ pedagogical knowledge. Per guidelines, in order for these test results to be made public at least 10 data points are required. 

Measure 6

Graduates self-report their employment to the MNU EPP. The institution also receives information from KSDE regarding those employed in the state. 

Measure 7

Consumer information is shared as guided by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) and the Department of Education.
