Candidate Competency at Program Completion

To be classified as a Program Completer and be eligible for licensure, the H.K. and Eva James College of Education requires that candidates successfully complete all program requirements that apply to their licensure program.  Once a candidate has completed all of these program requirements, they are classified as a Program Completer and are eligible to be recommended for licensure.  By completing these requirements, a candidate has demonstrated that they possess the minimum required level of competency to be considered an entry level teacher.  Therefore, to evaluate overall competency at completion, the H.K. and Eva James College of Education seeks to compare the performance of its program completers with that of those across the state in key assessments.  To do so, the H.K. and Eva James College of Education compares the competency levels of those completing the Final Candidate Preservice Assessment of Student Teaching (CPAST) Evaluation, as well as the OAE Applied Professional Knowledge Assessments, the OAE Content Assessments, and the OAE Foundations of Reading Assessment, in order to see how they compare to those across the state.  From an analysis of these data points, the H.K. and Eva James College of Education is able to evaluate the competency level of completers, providing valuable feedback about areas of strength and improvement within our licensure programs.
