Section 1 COEHS Summary Data for the Florida Licensure Exam: 2009-2010, 2010-2011, and 2011-2012 Section 1 and Section 2 Overview: Candidates in UNF teacher education programs leading to initial certification are required to pass all sections of the Florida Teacher Certification Exam (FTCE) prior to graduation. Upon admission to a teacher education program in the College, candidates are required to demonstrate competency in the areas of Mathematics, Reading, Writing, and English Language Skills by submitting passing scores on all portions of the General Knowledge (GK) test. Prior to graduation, a program evaluation review is conducted to determine if a candidate has successfully completed all program requirements. These exit reviews include passing scores on the Professional Education (PED) and Subject Area Exams (SAE) of the FTCE. As shown in 1.1 and 1.2 below, UNF has had a 100% institutional pass rate for completers in all programs. Data are also disaggregated by program as shown in section 2.

Section 3 University of North Florida’s State Report Card-Title II Report: Data with State Comparisons

Section 3 Overview: In addition to collecting data for program completers as summarized in Sections 1 and 2, the College collects data on passing FTCE scores for students enrolled in courses other than the student internship or the final “capstone course.” The data below summarizes passing rates for students in teacher preparation programs who took the test during the 2010-2011 year as “other enrolled.” The results of the “other enrolled” students indicates that passing rates for these students, who are not yet considered program completers, are close if not higher than the Florida statewide average pass rate (see 3.1below).

Data quantifying the results of “other enrolled” students in the Educator Preparation Institute (EPI), a state approved alternative certification route at UNF, indicate that the passing rates of UNF’s EPI candidates are closely aligned with other Florida EPI statewide passing rates (see 3.2 below). The Subject Area Exam was the strongest area for the 2010-2011 cohort, with 100% passing rate exceeding the statewide average pass rate of 96%.

Section 4 COEHS First Year Employment Data (2009-2010 thru 2011-2012) Section 4 Overview: Once a year, the state identifies program completers and matches them to employers. These data are used as part of the College’s continuous improvement efforts as evidenced in UNF’s Institutional Program Evaluation Plans (IPEPs), institutional strategic plans, institutional reports, departmental program reviews, and other uses as deemed appropriate. FDOE data indicates that in 2011-2013 52% of UNF’s completers from initial teacher certification programs, including Educator Preparation graduates, were hired in a public school in the state of Florida. Aggregated data for three years indicate that approximately 50% of program completers are placed in Florida public schools in their first year following graduation. These data exclude UNF program completers hired in private and/or out of state schools, and those who do not get employed in the year in which they graduated for personal, educational, and/or professional reasons. That is, if a program completer is hired two years after graduation he/she is not accounted in these figures.

Data from employers from 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 showed that the strongest area for the COEHS graduates was their “ability to create and maintain positive learning environments in which students are actively engaged in learning, social interaction, cooperative learning and self-motivation” (item 9) and “ethics and principles of professional conduct” (see item 7). In 2009-2010, three items were perceived to be in need of improvement based on a 5-point scale. These items were item, or the “use of assessment strategies to assist in the continuous development of learners”, item 14, teachers’ ability to “recognize signs of students’ difficulty with reading and computational processes,” and item 15 the application of “appropriate measures to improve students’ reading and computational processes.” In 2010-2011, the lowest ranked items using a 5-point scale were item 1 or “use of assessment strategies to assist in the continuous development of learners”, item 2 or the “use of effective communication techniques”, item 3 “continuous improvement”, item 11 “collaboration with education professionals, parents, and other stakeholders”, item item 12 the ability to “use and integrate appropriate technology in teaching and learning processes,” and item 14 or their ability to recognize signs of student difficulty with reading and computational processes.” .

Section 7 COEHS Average GPA for Completers of Teacher Preparation Programs and Advanced Programs 2010-2011, and 2011-2012

Section 7 Overview: All applicants seeking admission to the College’s initial teacher certification programs, at the undergraduate and graduate levels, must first be admitted to the institution in accordance with the University of North Florida’s established admission requirements and policies. Once admitted to UNF, applicants interested in initial teacher preparation or other school professional programs in the Unit must meet the state’s minimum GPA criteria for admissions. Criteria for admissions are governed by Florida’s Board of Education (BOE) rule and statute, 6A-5.066 and F.S. 1004.04(4)(b)(1)(2), respectively. The aforementioned state statute and rule not only determine minimum admission criteria for applicants but also specify processes and procedures to maintain continued program approval across all institutions with initial teacher preparation programs in the State of Florida. The minimum state required GPA for admission to and exit from teacher preparation programs in the College is 2.5. Data for two academic years indicate that the average entry and exit GPAs for completers of COEHS teacher education and advanced programs exceeded the minimum set by the state.

Section 8 Graduation Rates for Students Admitted and Enrolled in COEHS Programs Section 8 Overview: This section summarizes the graduation rate of COEHS admits during the 2008-2009 academic year. One important consideration when analyzing this table is to recognize the significant differences between the cohort sizes of the various programs of study. Of most significance is the Elementary Education program which was comprised of a cohort of 240. 163 of 240 (68%) of the students originally identified as Elementary Education majors graduated from the College but not necessarily from the same major or track they started with, in this case Elementary Education. 144 of 240 (60%) graduated from the original major and track. 175 of 240 graduated from the University but not necessarily from the same college, major or track they started with, in this case, Elementary Education.

Section 9 Employment Retention Rates of COEHS Program Completers

Overview Section 9: Shown below is a College level summary of the percentage of completers retained after their first year of employment and after subsequent years. Using aggregated data approximately 89% of program completers are hired and retained in year 1 and year 2. The figures presented below exclude UNF program completers who were hired in private and/or out of state schools, those who did not get employment in the year in which they graduated for personal, educational, and/or professional reasons, and those who were hired by the second year after graduation. Retention disaggregated at the program level follows (see tables 9.1 thru 9.8).

Note-*These program codes are no longer active or are no longer offered as state approved programs at UNF. Percent retention on the First Year of Employment was calculated based on the number of completers hired in public schools in the state of Florida in 2005-2006 (N = 151). Retention rates for years 2 through 8 were calculated based on the Baseline Year (N=151). The employment data excludes candidates not employed in Year 1 (Baseline) but who were later hired in subsequent employment years. ****DOE Code 285 had no data for the 05-06. This code (285) was accidentally removed from the DOE list of approved programs during this cycle of data collection. This numbers represent retention with no break in service.

Section 10 Impact Data: Florida’s Value-Added Model Scores

Overview Section 10: Value-Added: Candidates demonstrate impact on P-12 student learning based on student achievement data during the first year of teaching. The percentage of completers in the analyses is very low because the calculations used the total number of program completers each year even if they were not teaching in their first year after graduation or were employed in private schools or out of state. For UNF, the highest percentage of program completers with VAM scores was 17%. VAM mean scores for UNF program completers show COEHS program completers have VAM scores slightly below “0” indicating that on average students of completers from UNF did not perform better or lower than expected after controlling for all the factors in the model used to calculate the VAM scores. In comparison to all first year teachers in the state, UNF’s average VAM scores are similar to state VAM scores, except for scores for completers in Reading and ReadingProg in 2009-2010 which were slightly lower that the state’s average.

Similarly, data were reported for UNF’s EPI state approved program as shown in 10.2. The percentage of completers with VAM scores is slightly higher than those reported for the initial teacher preparation program as shown 10.1. For UNF, the highest percentage of EPI program completers included in the VAM calculation was 33.3% inclusive of all subjects in 2009-10.
