EPP Performance

EPP Dashboard

G.S. 115C-269.50 states that the State Board of Education (SBE) shall create annual EPP report cards and shall provide user-friendly access to the public with the ability to easily compare report card information between EPPs, including performance and other data reported by each EPP as stated in G.S. 115C-269.35(b).  

EPP Performance Reports

Recent law (S.L. 2017-189) requires that all EPPs operating in the State on June 30, 2018, or thereafter, shall submit annual performance reports beginning with the 2018-2019 school year. These reports are expected to have new performance expectations, reporting methods, and layout as the new law shifts more accountability on measurable outcomes of EPPs. Between now and then, the Department will continue to collect and produce reports as they have in recent years. These reports are to continue to maintain the extensive longitudinal data on EPPs and continuity in reporting that has been collected over the years. The data will also be an important component of the updated reporting process in the coming years.

Individual reports on undergraduate, graduate, and school administration preparation programs are included for each institution of higher education.

What is included in the IHE Performance Report?
This rich data collection meets the specific requirements established in §115C-296.13(b) and includes a number of important components about the education programs an institution offers.

  • The initial section of the performance report provides an overview of the institution as well as the program areas and levels offered. It includes descriptions of how IHE programs address specific state board of education priorities, analyze needs and effectiveness of their program offerings, and determine effectiveness of candidate field opportunities and student teaching experiences.
  • The partnership section of the report outlines the direct and ongoing service the institution provides public schools throughout the year.
  • The student enrollment portion provides descriptive statistics about the students enrolled in an institution's program. Information about student entrance, program completion, licensure, and teacher effectiveness are included.

The IHE Report Card offers a quick snapshot of an institution's outcomes. Report cards can be located by clicking on the corresponding link in the left column.

EPP Report Cards

Recent law (S.L. 2017-189) requires that all Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) operating in the State on June 30, 2018, or thereafter to produce annual IHE Report Cards in alignment with IHE Performance Reports for the 2018-2019 school year. These reports are expected to have new performance expectations, reporting methods, and layout as the new law shifts more accountability on measurable outcomes of EPPs. Between now and then, the Department will continue to collect and produce report cards as they have in recent years. This is to continue to maintain the extensive longitudinal data on EPPs and continuity in reporting that has been collected over the years. The collected data will also be an important component of the updated reports in the coming years.

Individual reports on undergraduate, graduate, and school administration preparation programs are included for each institution of higher education.

All Undergraduate IHE Report Cards are organized into the following sections.

  • Students: provides full and part time enrollment numbers along with current student GPA, SAT, and ACT averages
  • Transition to Classroom: offers information about the students exiting the program, including the number who complete the degree, apply for a license; the number of semesters to completion; and four-year employment retention information
  • Graduate Effectiveness: presents beginning teacher evaluation data for the institution’s graduates organized by professional teacher standards and student growth
  • Program: tracks the program’s full and part time faculty
  • Graduate Satisfaction Survey: provides composite data points on questions related to the quality of preparation and student teaching experiences of recent graduates
  • 4 Year Completer Employment: 2008-2012 Completers: Lists multiple graduate cohorts of the institution and their retention in the profession after four years.

All Graduate and MSA Program IHE Report Cards contain the Students and Transition to Classroom sections.

Data from the IHE Report Cards are derived from IHE Performance Reports which are located using the corresponding link on the left hand side of this page.
