2023 Accountability Measures

CAEP Accountability Measures

The Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) requires four annual accountability measures that demonstrate accountability and provide information on Mississippi University for Women’s (MUW) School of Education’s initial licensure programs impact, outcomes, and performance to share publicly with stakeholders, teacher candidates, and potential students.

The Education Program at MUW and fourteen other public and private higher education institutions annually submit data that is used to establish external benchmarks for Educator Preparation Provider (EPPs). This information is compiled in an Impact Report, developed to help institutions comply with CAEPs Annual Accountability Measures. This report, along with other data collected within the School of Education, is used in making data-driven decisions in the EPP’s Continuous Improvement Process.

Impact Measures

Measure 1: Completer Impact and Effectiveness (CAEP R4.1)

EPP Program Completer Survey

Survey data was gathered from initial licensure program completers during their final semester. The survey is divided into two main sections. The first part addresses the required coursework by the candidates and impact of the clinical hours experience they completed throughout their time in the program. The second part focuses on the feedback provided about their mentor teachers and university supervisors.

Following an initial survey implemented in the fall of 2021, the Education Preparation Provider (EPP) revised the survey to better align it with the Teacher Intern Assessment Instrument (TIAI). The data collected in spring 2023 will be used as a benchmark for assessing progress and identifying areas that require improvement in subsequent semesters.

Measure 2: Satisfaction of Employers and Stakeholder Involvement (CAEP R4.2, R5.3)

The EPP at MUW uses employer satisfaction surveys to gain valuable insights into the performance of completers from initial-level programs as they begin their teaching careers. This standardized survey is adopted statewide by all institutions and is conducted annually in May through an online platform managed by The University of Mississippi.

The surveys are structured around the 4 InTASC Domains—The Learner and Learning, Content, Instructional Practice, and Professional Responsibility—which cover key aspects of educator competence. These surveys play a crucial role in assessing employer satisfaction and providing detailed feedback on completer competencies in knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes, which are essential for effective teaching for P-12th grade.

*Due to COVID-19, MDE implemented a testing waiver that went into effect for program completers from March 26, 2020 through December 31, 2021. Completers may not have recorded licensure exams during this time period.

Measure 4: Ability of Completers to be Hired in Education Positions for Which They Have Been Prepared

The Mississippi Department of Education monitors several key aspects related to educators: their readiness to secure positions aligned with their preparation, the attainment of advanced degrees, and the retention rates of teachers during their initial years in the profession, specifically focusing on first, second, and third-year teachers.
