Data Responses

We received responses from only five stakeholders in our recent survey regarding the preparedness of our graduates from the Division of Education at The University of the District of Columbia. While this is a small sample size, we recognize the importance of seeking out stakeholder input to continuously improve our program, based on the CAEP (Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation) standard annual reporting standard 2. We will continue to reach out to stakeholders and encourage their participation in future surveys so that we can gather more comprehensive feedback. Additionally, in the upcoming AY 21-22 reporting year, we will be given data from OSSE (Office of the State Superintendent of Education) to help supplement our efforts and address the low response rate. Your input is essential to our efforts to meet this standard and ensure the success of our graduates and the advancement of the education profession.

In this context, the chart above is showing the results of an evaluation survey that was administered to employers who hired graduates from the Division of Education teacher preparation program. The table shows the survey questions related to employer satisfaction, such as "How effective is this graduate in their role?" and "How satisfied are you with the quality of graduates from the School of Education at The University of the District of Columbia?"
The responses to these questions are categorized into different levels of satisfaction or effectiveness, such as "Highly Effective," "Somewhat Effective," or "Not Effective." The table shows the number of employers who responded at each level of satisfaction or effectiveness.
