Many of the educator preparation programs within CAHS have program-specific accrediting agencies that require the periodic submission of progress reports. Known as Specialized Professional Associations (SPAs), these agencies require the preparation of “SPA reports” that are submitted to the SPA as well as to CAEP. For our CAHS education preparation programs, these SPAs include:

Council for Exceptional Children (CEC)

Special Education - Multicategorical, Post-Baccalaureate

International Literacy Association (ILA)

Literacy Education - Master's Program

National Association for Education of Young Children

Pre-School Education - Birth to Pre-K Baccalaureate

National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS)

Social Studies - Secondary Education B.A.

Social Studies - MAC or Post-Baccalaureate

National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE)

English-Undergraduate

English- MAC or Post-Baccalaureate

WVU is consistently outpacing the Statewide Pass Rate.

CAEP Accountability Measures

Measure 1 (initial): Completer Effectiveness

Impact P-12 student learning and growth are evidenced by scores on the Danielson Framework for Teaching:

• Danielson Data for 2021

Applying Professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions are evidenced by scores on the dispositions assessment done while teacher candidates are in their clinical placement:

• Dispositions Assessment for Spring 2021

Measure 2 (Initial & Advanced): Satisfaction of Employers and Stakeholder Involvement:

For the academic year 2020-2021 the ability to gather data associated with this measure was impacted greatly. Given the work conditions that P-12 educators were under and the ever-changing landscape of schools we were unable to collect data from employers about our graduates. To mediate this, we are planning on holding a series of focus groups with employers to solicit their feedback.

We were able to solicit feedback from teacher candidates completing our programs during the 2020-2021 academic year. Here are the results of those responses:

• Exit Survey 20-21-Initial
• Exit Survey 20-21-Advanced

Measure 3 (Initial & Advanced): Candidate Competency at Completion:

Measures that teacher candidates are competent upon completion of a teacher preparation program at WVU are based on:

• Praxis Scores
  • Praxis Scores 2020-2021
• edTPA Scores
  • edTPA Scores 020-2021
• Danielson Framework for Teaching
  • Danielson Data for 2021

Measure 4 (Initial & Advanced): Ability of Completers to be Hired:

The following chart indicates how many teacher candidates completed a teacher preparation program as well as the number who applied for certification in-state and out-of-state. Title II reporting also provides a count of how many students completed teacher education programs across WVU.
