Track Strengths and Weaknesses of Educator Preparation Programs

Follow up with recent educator preparation program graduates to obtain their views of the strengths and weaknesses of their preparation in the program, especially for working in high-need schools, and respond to any problems and recommendations generated from the survey analysis.

• Track graduates’ placement, retention, and, if possible, their effectiveness, as new accreditation and Higher Education Act Title II reporting requirements will likely require.
• Collect data on the placement and retention of recent graduates to determine the extent to which the program serves the staffing needs of high-need schools.
