CAEP ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES

Hanover College Educator Preparation Program

Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) in Indiana are required to be accredited by the State of Indiana as well as by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). As part of the ongoing review of the EPP, CAEP monitors four "Accountability Measures" with data collected by the DOE and TItle II, as well as by the EPP.

CAEP MEASURE 1: COMPLETER IMPACT AND EFFECTIVENESS (R4.1)

Principals surveyed by the Indiana Department of Education in provide feedback on first, second, and third year teachers from each EPP. Hanover College Educator Preparation Program's data shows that Hanover College EPP completers to be prepared in their content and pedagogy.

Principals agree that our graduates impact P-12 learning growth and display the professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for the profession. Our program completers :

Understand how students learn and differentiate instruction for all learners
Meet or exceed expectations for content knowledge and preparation
Adhere to the legal and ethical requirements of the teaching profession

Principal Survey Reports

2022-2023 Principal Survey - published September 2024 (no data provided by DOE: fewer than 10 responses)

2020-2021 Principal Survey Report - published September 2022. (no data provide by DOE: fewer than 10 responses)

Educator Effectiveness Evaluation Reports

The Indiana Department of Education provides an annual effectiveness report of teacher performance as evaluated by their building administrators. The report reflects performance by teachers within the first three years of licensure.

The percentage of Hanover College EPP graduates who are teachers with 1-2 years of experience with a "highly effective" or "effective" rating is unknown because there were less than ten completers in each category. The Indiana Department of Education does not report the results for less than ten teachers as seem in the report shown below.
The report shows that the thirty (30) teachers with three (3) years experience all ranked as "highly effective" or "effective" by their school administration. This is 100% of Hanover College EPP alumni teachers.
The Indiana Department of Education defines a Highly Effective teacher as one that consistently exceeds expectations and demonstrates "competencies reasonably believed to be highly correlated with positive student learning outcomes" (IDOE Rise Handbook).
The Indiana Department of Education defines an Effective Teacher as one that consistently meets expectations and "competencies reasonably believe to be highly correlated with positive student learning outcomes". (IDOE Rise Handbook).

CAEP MEASURE 2: SATISFACTION OF EMPLOYERS (CAEP R4.2, R5.3, RA4.1)

Principals surveyed annually by the Indiana Department of Education provided feedback on first, second, and third year teachers who were received their preparation at Hanover College. In recent years, smaller EPPs with fewer than 10 principal responses do not receive any data on the responses submitted. The most recent report with data indicates that principals believe graduates are well-prepared by Hanover College. They indicated that they are satisfied or very satisfied overall with the training their teachers received from Hanover College as shown on the following table.
