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)
Indiana principals are required to complete effectivness evaluation on their teachers anually. The Indiana Department of Education compiles data and creates reports for each EPP on their program completers' effectiveness if therer are 10 or more evaluations completed.
Effectiveness Evaluation Reports for Hanover College EPP
The Indiana Department of Education previously provided 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 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).
HEA 1002 (2025) amended IC 20-28-11.5-9, removing the requirement that school corporations and charter schools provide the results of staff performance evaluations to the department. In addition, it removed the requirement of the department to report the results of staff performance evaluations to teacher preparation programs. As a result, no educator evaluation data was included in this year's report. Because this went into effect July 1, I do have access 23-24 data, but because Hanover had fewer than 10 teachers included, I am unable to share the data. If interested, there is evaluation data for all Hanover completers/teachers in the link below, but we cannot share 1st,2nd, 3rd year data. Going forward though, IDOE will unfortunately not have access to this information and EPPs will need to gather other sources of data to assess the effectiveness and impact of their program completers.
2023-2024 Effectivness Rating - Published by IDOE September 2024
Data is unavailable due to fewer than 10 Hanover College teachers with one, two, or three years experience were evaluated on the effectiveness by their building principals despite the EPP having prepared well over 10 teachers in each cohort.
2022-2023 Effectiveness Ratings - Published by IDOE September 2024
Data is unavailable due to fewer than 10 Hanover College teachers with one, two, or three years experience were evaluated on their effectiveness by their building principals despite the EPP having prepared well over 10 teachers in each cohort.
2021-2022 Effectiveness Ratings - Published by IDOE September 2023
Data is unavailable due to fewer than 10 Hanover College teachers with one or two years experience were evaluated on their effectiveness by their building principals despite the EPP having prepared over 10 teachers in each cohort. Of the Hanover College teachers with three years of experience, 100 percent were rated as either "EFFECTIVE" or "HIGHLY EFFECTIVE"

Teacher Survey Reports
Licensed graduates who are employed in Indiana schools are surveyed annually by the Indiana Department of Education who are employed in Indiana Schools. Our graduates stressed the effectiveness of their preparation at Hanover College.
Program Completers with initial licensure report the are satisfied or highly satisfied with the training they received at Hanover College in the following areas:
Content preparation and knowledge
- Inclusive and rigorous learning environments
- Learner development and growth
- Collaboration with school leaders and colleagues

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 tables.

CAEP MEASURE 3: COMPETENCY AT PROGRAM COMPLETION (R3.3, RA 3.4)
To obtain program completer status for licensure certification by the Hanover College EPP, teacher candidates must achieve the following:
- Achieve a minimum major GPA of 3.0 in their major/content area
- Have at least a 90% effectiveness rating on their final student teaching candidate evaluation rubric
- Pass the Decision Point 3 Presentation/Interview by a panel of at least three clinical educators
- Pass the appropriate ETS Principles of Learning and Teaching (pedagogy) Praxis Licensure Exam *2025 Cohort
- Pass the appropriate ETS Content Area Praxis Licensure Exam(s) prior to Student Teaching *2026 Cohort

Title II
Title II, Section 207 of the Higher Education Act (HEA) requires states, as recipients of HEA funds, and all institutions with teacher preparation programs that enroll students receiving federal financial assistance, to prepare reports on teacher preparations and licensing. These reports detail the enrollment, completion, and exam pass rates of our teacher candidates. The tables below compare the Hanover College EPP's program completer's assessment data with the statewide data.

CAEP Measure 4: ABILITY OF COMPLETERS TO BE HIRED IN EDUCATION POSITIONS FOR WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN PREPARED
Hanover College's Levett Career Center assists the EPP in confirming employment information on our graduates.
The following information shows the institution's self-gathered data on our graduates following program completion.
2025 Cohort
Nearly seventy nine percent (78.57%) of the May 2025 Program completers were hired in Education positions that align witht their preparation programs. In addition, one completer was hired on an emergency permit to teach in an area outside of their preparation program, another was hired to coach football at the collegiate level, and one is employed in a career other than education.

Data for each of these accountability measures is shared and reviewed with stakeholder groups. These stakeholders include members of our Education Advisory Council of Clinical Educators and the Teacher Education Commitee (TEC) of the faculty of Hanover College. Collaborative decisions for the EPP are made in EPP/Education Department Faculty Meetings as well Data Team Meetings based upon the reported data and with the input of stakeholders .
