CAEP Annual Reporting Measures updated spring 2022 with new measures requirement
- Measure 1: (Initial): Completer effectiveness (R4.1) Data addresses: (a) completer impact in contributing to P-12 student-learning growth AND (b) completer effectiveness in applying professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions.
Value-Added Student Growth Measure. ODHE Value-Added data for completers.
Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) Results of Program Graduates Ohio Principal Evaluation System (OPES) ... issues (House Bill 197 of the 133rd General Assembly), OTES/OPES, and Value-Added data will be limited. Data provided from 2017-2022 is currently available and can be found below. It is anticipated that data from 2022-2023 will be fully available; however, ODHE is experiencing issues with reports and we will publish what is available.
Value-added analysis helps educators measure the impact schools and teachers have on students’ academic progress rates from year to year. Ohio selected a value-added measure that provides educators with information on how they can use data to focus instruction.

Currently, only a very minuscule amount of information has been collected and published by ODHE. Once more information becomes available, we will post it.
Indicators of Teaching Effectiveness
The State Board of Education values the importance of promoting educator professional growth that leads to improved instructional performance and student learning. OTES is a professional growth model is intended to be used to continually assist educators in enhancing teacher performance. An effective professional growth model considers a teacher’s instructional strengths while supporting identified areas for improvement according to the profile of each educator. This process is to be collaborative, ongoing, and supportive of the professional growth of the teacher.

The evaluation system builds on what educators know about the importance of ongoing assessment and feedback as a powerful vehicle to support improved practice. The state of Ohio masks results when there are fewer than 3 in a category. OTES data was just posted for 2021, and ODHE is working on technical issues for the 2022 data set. As evaluation data become available, we will post it.
Principal Evaluations
Principal Evaluations The State Board of Education values the importance of promoting administrator1 professional growth that leads to improved leadership practices and student learning. An effective professional growth framework considers an administrator’s leadership strengths while supporting identified areas for improvement within each administrator’s school environment or work context. The Ohio Principal Evaluation System (OPES) 2.0 is collaborative, ongoing, and supportive of the professional growth of the administrator.

- Measure 2: (Initial and Advanced) Satisfaction of Employers and stakeholders involvement (Components R4.2 | R5.3 | RA.4.1)
The Ohio Resident Educator Program began in 2011 and is a comprehensive, four-year initiative to assist beginning teachers with mentoring and professional development as they start their education careers. The Resident Educator Program is designed to improve teacher retention, enhance teacher quality, and result in improved student achievement. The Ohio Resident Educator Program can be envisioned as a professional pathway to continued professional learning, leading educators to more effective practices and excellence in teaching. Ohio Revised Code 3319.223 and Ohio Administrative Code 3301-24-04 provide the basis for the Ohio Resident Educator Program and the requirement to pass the Resident Educator Summative Assessment (RESA) successfully. When teachers successfully complete program requirements, including the RESA component, they become eligible for a professional teaching license.
Milestone: Of the 42 2nd and 3rd year Wittenberg graduates that took RESA in the 2019/2020 school year, the pass rate remains at 100% for all those matriculating through the Education programs at Wittenberg.
In 2021, of the 35 - 2nd and 3rd year Wittenberg graduates that took RESA in the 2020/2021 school year, the pass rate remains at 100% for all those matriculating through the Education programs at Wittenberg.
In the 2022 school year, of the 37 - 2nd and 3rd-year Wittenberg graduates that took RESA in the 2021-2022 school year, the pass rate remains at 100% for all those matriculating through the Education programs at Wittenberg.
Employer Satisfaction: Initial Licensure The Ohio Department of higher education no longer solicits or provides employer satisfaction data. The Education department at Wittenberg has pursued this task at both the Initial licensure and Principal levels.Employer Satisfaction: Initial Licensure

- The state of Ohio does not set a minimum number of points for candidates to pass this instrument. However, they do provide encouragement through a candidate’s ability to waive the OAE APK test if the candidate scores a 37 or higher.
Satisfaction of Completers:
The Resident Educator survey compiled by the Ohio Department of Higher Education looks at New Teacher satisfaction with their preparation. We have included the questionnaire and the latest results.
- Resident Educator Survey – Initial Licensure Survey scale is 1 =Strongly Disagree; 2= Disagree; 3= Agree; 4= Strongly Agree.
- The survey consists of 50 questions provided to teachers related to their opinion of their teacher preparation program
In 2019, the mean of the responses was 3.18 with a range of 2.3 being the lowest score and 3.66 represented multiple times as the high score. Overall, most of the candidates felt they were prepared to enter into the teaching profession. The lowest score represented the teachers’ knowledge of the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession. In response, this module was added to a senior seminar prior to student teaching, when candidates would value this knowledge.
In 2020, the mean of the responses was 3.69, with a range of 3 being the lowest score and 4’s being the top of the range. Former Wittenberg candidates unanimously agree that they were well prepared to enter into the teaching profession.
In 2021, the mean of the responses was 3.7, with a range of 3.40 being the lowest score and 3.97 at the top of the range. Former Wittenberg candidates unanimously agree that they were well prepared to enter into the teaching profession.
In 2022, the mean of the responses was 3.5, with a range of 2.8 being the lowest score and 3.71 being the most repeated mean, and 3.87 a the top of the range. Former Wittenberg candidates unanimously agree that they were well prepared to enter teaching.
The results of these surveys show new teachers trained at Wittenberg overall believe that their training equipped them to walk into the classroom as well-prepared teachers. The means in each year exceed the state-published mean of all university programs.

Dispositions – The habits of professional action and moral commitments that underlie an educator’s performance (InTASC Model Core Teaching Standards, p. 6.) are assessed at the end of every course. These dispositions help both candidates and faculty address both strengths and weaknesses of future Educational Leaders. This document is currently under review and being updated.
RA.3.4 Our principal internships utilize the National Educational Leadership Preparation (NELP) standards to assess principal candidates. Data are collected from University Supervisors and K-12 Principal Mentors to evaluate candidate preparation. Below is the 2022 data collected
