Measure 4: Ability of Completers to be Hired in Education Positions for which they have been Prepared
Satisfaction of Completers – Alumni Survey
The University of Toledo’s Educator Preparation Program (EPP) is committed to ensuring that program completers feel well-prepared for the responsibilities they face in their professional roles. Our goal is to provide a high-quality preparation experience that supports long-term success in the field of education.
Current Status
Due to leadership transitions and vacancies in key roles within the College of Education during the 2023–2024 academic year—including the Accreditation and Assessment Manager and Field Office Coordinator—completer satisfaction data is not available for this cycle. These critical positions were successfully filled in Fall 2024, and efforts are now underway to enhance data collection and reporting processes.
Survey Development and Administration Timeline
The EPP is actively working to revise the content and format of the Satisfaction of Completers/Alumni Survey. The revised instrument will be finalized during Summer 2025, with distribution and data collection beginning in Fall 2025. Initial findings will be published by Spring 2026.
Micro-Survey Pilot
In Spring 2025, EPP leadership convened workgroups to strengthen existing CAEP-related processes and reinforce a culture of continuous improvement. As part of this effort, a brief micro-survey was administered by teacher education faculty to recent alumni. All respondents (n=16) graduated within the past three academic years.
The data gathered from this micro-survey will serve as a foundational reference point for refining the alumni survey and enhancing the EPP’s ongoing assessment and improvement strategies.
The results from this micro-survey will serve as an initial foundation for refining the full alumni survey and guiding future improvements to EPP programming and assessment practices.
