CAEP Accountability Measures
The Ohio State University’s Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) are accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). CAEP accreditation ensures quality through external review. The CAEP annual measures below shows how Ohio State EPPs comply with CAEP standards.
Initial educator preparation programs at The Ohio State University are accredited through the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) through 2026. CAEP accreditation indicates our programs successfully prepare new teachers to effectively know their subject area, serve diverse groups of students, have meaningful preservice experiences and use data to drive targeted program improvement.
Eligible advanced licensure programs (Orientation and Mobility, Principal, School Psychology EdS, and Superintendent) are currently undergoing review for CAEP accreditation in Autumn 2021.
CAEP Accountability Measures
Completer Impact and Effectiveness
Initial Licensure
Ohio's value-added (VA) data system provides information on student academic gains in specific content areas and grade levels1. VA data demonstrates student progress within a given academic year and are used to inform instructional practices and teacher evaluations.
Data represented below reflect Ohio State completers with Resident Educator licenses provided by the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) reported by Ohio’s Education Value-Added Assessment System (EVAAS). Teachers receive effectiveness ratings comparing their actual student growth in relation to the standard error (SE) above or below their expected growth within a year’s timeframe2. They also receive index ratings as a quantifiable growth score.

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

2- Disagree |
3- Agree |

The Office of Accreditation, Placement and Licensure oversees survey distribution and shares anonymized results with programs for consideration and continuous improvement. Means of 3.0 or higher indicate overall agreement.
Principal Mentor Survey Means by Question

1. Employer Satisfaction survey
Advanced Employer Survey Results - The Advanced Employer Satisfaction Survey data for Measure #2 is not yet available according to the EPP's Advanced transition plans. The EPP is in the process of gathering this data for 2021-22, and data for the measure are expected to become available to the public by Spring 2023.
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.
Overall Results by Completer Cohort

Over three years, 93% or more of the Ohio State initial licensure cohorts have consistently passed their licensure tests at a higher rate (6-10%) than the State average.

- 2021-2017 Field and Clinical Experiences for Candidates at Ohio State
* This document contains extractions from the Ohio Department of Higher Education Performance Report Cards.
Ohio State’s Advanced programs use passage rates on the state licensure tests as a main measure to track candidates’ competency at program completion. School Psychology candidates must pass the PRAXIS 5402 School Psychology exam and Principal candidates must pass the Ohio Assessments for Educators (OAE) 015 Educational Leadership test to be eligible for Ohio licensure. Completers from both programs take their assessment at the conclusion of their program.
Note: Candidates who intend to move out of state may elect to take other exams if they do not plan to seek Ohio licensure. Superintendent candidates are required to hold a Principal license prior to admittance; therefore, 100% will have passed the OAE 015 Educational Leadership test that Ohio requires. Ohio does not require a licensure test for a Pupil Services license in Orientation & Mobility.

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.
