CAEP Accountability Measures

​Satisfaction of Employers and Stakeholder Involvement

A satisfaction survey is used to gather input from targeted principals and district representatives in Ohio public schools who employ recent Ohio State initial licensure completers within their first four years. Questions ask responders to rate the effectiveness of the completers preparation in 15 key areas, with a 3.0 mean indicting general agreement. Results are used for program evaluation and improvement.

Employer Perceptions Survey Means by Question

​

Ohio State completers must pass state-required Ohio Assessment for Educator (OAE) licensure exams in their content area and grade level to demonstrate their proficiency in both content and pedagogy expertise. These exams are a main measure of their competency at program completion and ability to meet license requirements.

Data below reflect the three-year trend for overall cohort pass rates on page 1 and for each licensure assessment on page 2. The years listed in the tables represent the cohort year for OSU and the academic year for the State comparisons.

The Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) provides Ohio State data on employment in instructional roles in Ohio public schools1. From this data, employment and retention rates can be calculated as an outcome measure of effectiveness. ODHE reports employment for candidates for only four years after their licensure effective date although they may remain employed.

Note: The number/percent retained for each year is based on the previous year’s total employment for each cohort. Retained data reflect completers remaining employed within the same district from year to year.

_{1. Position codes classified in the100s, 200sor 300sare considered instructional roles excluding substitutes, aides, and other support roles where the position does not have a primary student learning focus or instructional autonomy. Only positions with a Full Time Equivalency (FTE)of 50 percent or higher are counted.}
