It was developed to measure the COE alumni: 1) level of satisfaction with their program, and 2) perception of their degree of preparation in content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge and practice, professional responsibility and understanding learners. The Alumni Survey is administrated to all graduates, one-year and five-years after completion of their program. The survey is sent via email for each of the graduation dates (August, January, May). The guidance document for the Alumni Survey provides users with its purpose, clear descriptors and a detailed rating scale. Graduates are familiar with the instrument as it reflects the competencies on which they were evaluated on during their preparation programs. The College of Education’s Employer Survey The Employer Survey is intended to provide feedback to the COE on how well program completers are performing in their roles as educators and whether employers would continue to hire WP graduates. It was designed to measure: 1) employers’ level of satisfaction of our graduates and 2) employers’ perceptions of our graduates’ degree of preparation in content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge and practice, professional responsibility, and understanding learners. It is administered each spring. Graduation Rates The graduation rates for the College of Education are compiled from the Office of Institutional Research and Advancement.
