2020-2021 Annual Reporting Measures

 

  • Measure 1: Completer effectiveness. (R4.1) 
    • Undergraduate 
    • Alternative Certification 
    • 2020-2021 data are currently delayed due to COVID-19 disruptions to university and state data systems. 
    • Special Note for Measure 1: 

      2020 Teacher Preparation Data Dashboards were prepared and distributed to EPP’s by the Louisiana Board of Regents (BoR) using Title II data for 2017-18 completers. In addition, Compass and value-added data have been provided in the dashboards for new teachers who taught during 2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19.  

      Due to COVID, Compass and value-added assessments were not administered during 2019-20 school year. Thus, Compass and value-added data do not exist for the academic year 2019-20. 2021 data dashboards will be provided to institutions during May 2022 but will only contain Title II data for 2018-19 completers and Retention data.  

      The Board of Regents will be working with the Louisiana Department of Education during the upcoming fiscal year to obtain Retention and Compass data to create a 2022 report containing Title 2 data for 2019-20 completers and Compass data for new teachers who taught during 2020-21. Value-added data will not be available due to student achievement data during 2020-21 serving as baselines to calculate future value-added scores in 2021-22.  

 

 

  • Measure 3: Candidate competency at completion. (R3.3)
    • 100% of 2020-2021 completers passed all Praxis exams required for certification.
