COE Annual Reporting Measures

CAEP Accountability Measures (for CHEA Requirements)

The information on this page presents the accountability measures as required by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). 

Measure 1 (Initial): Completer Effectiveness 

a) Impact on P-12 Learning and Development

Oral Roberts University College of Education (COE) has developed a mentoring program to support first-year teachers who graduated and teach in local school districts. This program carries no cost to the district. 

One of the requirements for completion is for the alumni to provide P-12 student assessment data to the COE. The purpose of looking at benchmark data is to determine if our graduates are having a positive impact on student learning and to determine where program improvements are needed to better prepare future ORU teacher candidates.

Data provided included the following benchmark assessment tools:

  • STAR assessment tools,
  • Phonics Inventory
  • ESGI assessment
  • MAP test

2022-23 Peer Mentoring Data: Impact on Learning and Development

2021-22 Peer mentoring Data: Impact on Learning and Development 

2019-20 Peer Mentoring Data: Impact on Learning and Development

2017-18 Peer Mentoring data: Impact of Learning and Development

2016-17 Peer Mentoring Data: Impact on Learning and Development

b) Indicators of Teaching Effectiveness

The TLE Observation and Evaluation System (TLE) is an evidence-based process of teacher evaluation, feedback, and support anchored in five domain scores and 20 indicators reflecting national best practices and current research regarding effective instruction. Administrators using the TLE rubric evaluate teachers on all indicators. Ratings are 1 – Ineffective, 2 – Needs Improvement, 3 – Effective, 4 – Highly Effective, 5 – Superior. Scores of 3, 4 and 5 indicate performance that meets expectations.

TLE Data (2023)

For 2023, data is for 42 classroom teachers, including 22 secondary alumni. Classroom teachers represented 9 districts, including 16 elementary and 10 secondary schools.

TLE Data (2022)

For 2022, data is for 48 classroom teachers, including 28 secondary alumni. Classroom teachers represented 12 districts, including 18 elementary and 19 secondary schools. 

TLE Data (2021)

For 2021, data is for 35 classroom teachers, including 15 secondary alumni. Classroom teachers represented 4 school districts, including 8 secondary schools and 14 elementary schools.

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

The employer survey is distributed annually to Oklahoma school district principals to measure their satisfaction of the preparation of the College of Education’s teacher education graduates for their assigned responsibilities in working with P-12 students.

Description of Assessment Instrument

EPP deans and directors work collaboratively with the state accrediting agency, the Oklahoma Office of Educational Quality and Accountability (OEQA) to create the First-Year Teacher Administrator Survey. The OEQA administers the survey to first-year teacher administrators annually. Administrators are also asked to rate their first-year teachers on classroom preparedness in the areas of performance, competency, disposition, and professional development.

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

The following are certification exam pass rate results for COE program completers. Data are derived from the Title II Federal Pass Rate Reports and are posted on the University website annually in accordance with the Title II of the Higher Education Act (HEA).

Description of Assessment Instrument and Results

The EPP definition of a program completer aligns with the state certification requirements. The report consists of the passing and failure rates of students who have completed their teacher preparation program at ORU and have taken the Oklahoma Teacher Certification Examinations.

Below are the links to the EPP's Title II Report Cards (2016-2023):

State Certification Exam Results - Program Completers

The teacher preparation program in Oklahoma is a competency-based program, integrating three knowledge bases: general, subject matter, and pedagogy knowledge. The program design is required by the Oklahoma State Legislature, which in 1995 adopted HB 1549. That law requires that teacher candidates entering the teaching profession receive an initial license only after passing the certification exams

The following are Oklahoma Certification Exam pass rate results for the ORU College of Education program completers. The College of Education defines program completers as individuals who earn a teacher education degree and qualify for a teaching certificate. State performance data is provided for comparison points. 

At the advanced level, candidates seeking building and district level administrator’s certification must satisfactorily pass two OSAT Principal exams (Principal Common Core, Elementary Principal Specialty test, or Middle Principal Specialty Test, or Secondary Principal Specialty test). Candidates seeking district level or superintendent licensure must complete the OSAT exam.

Description of Assessment Instrument and Results

All candidates must have a minimum 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale prior to entrance into the Professional Education Program. Candidates must maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA throughout the program. Those that fall below the GPA are placed on probation and work collaboratively with their advisor and the department chair to develop an action plan. Those that do not meet the requirements of the action plan are no longer in the program. The department chair provides guidance in helping them choose another major that is suitable. The median GPA of individuals completing the program in each academic year is calculated as part of the Title II Report.

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

The EPP offers opportunities for candidates to be prepared in the following areas leading to an initial certification. Elementary education majors choose a second area of concentration from the following: Early Childhood, English Language Learners, or Special Education for certification. Secondary education majors are listed below.

Data is provided indicating the number of students certified in their respective certification areas which enables them to be hired in at least two certification areas (elementary and secondary) for which they have been prepared.  

University Career Services Post Graduate Survey Report

The ORU Career Services department collects data for graduates each year. Data are based on those graduates who participate in the survey.

For the 2022-2023 graduating class included 53 students, both initial and advanced. Of the 53 graduates, the COE was able to collect information from 48 students. Seven were attending graduate school, 38 were employed, two were not seeking employment, and one was seeking full-time employment which results in a 98% placement rate.

Thirty-five graduates (initial and advanced) participated in the 2021-22 survey. Of the 35 graduates who reported, none (0%) were still seeking employment six months after graduation resulting in a 100% placement rate for the COE candidates. Five graduates were continuing in further education.

Nineteen graduates participated in the 2020-21 survey. Aggregate data are provided for the EPP, as well as, data are disaggregated by individual programs, both at the initial and advanced. Of the 19 graduates reporting, 0% were still seeking employment six months after graduation, resulting in a 100% placement rate for the COE graduate and undergraduate candidates. Eighteen were employed and one was attending graduate school.

Also provided is a link to a post graduation survey of the EPP's graduates on post-graduation status.

Cost of Attendance

Below are the COE’s tuition and fees for the academic year. The expected time to complete the initial teacher education program is four years. For the advanced programs offered at the master's level, the expected length of time to complete the program is two years.
