  2. Alumni Survey – Initial Programs • Conducted March 2011. Administered once every three years. • Sent as anonymous Qualtrics survey. • Listing of graduates obtained from ISU Foundation. Potential problem with the recency of graduation of this group. • 1002 emails sent, 878 did not fail, 52 responses received for response rate of 6% (likely artificially deflated due to inactive emails).

  3. Teaching Position Frequencies and Percentages (N = 52)

  4. College-Based Preparation Frequencies and Percentages (N = 52)

  5. Number of years teaching? • Range from 1 – 32, Mean = 5.9. Were you formally prepared for all areas in which you are teaching? • 86% (n = 44) responded yes. • 14% (n = 7) responded no.

  6. Means and Standard Deviations of Preparation Items (N = 44)

  7. General rating of preparation for first teaching assignment. • Excellent – n = 11 (25.0%) • Good - n = 25 (56.8%) • Fair - n = 5 (11.4%) • Poor - n = 3 (6.8%) What should be included in the curriculum to better prepare new teachers? Open ended question, 3 emergent response themes: • Classroom management skills (10 responses) • More frequent field experiences (11 responses) • Training in classroom technology (3 responses)

  8. Employer Survey – Initial Programs • Conducted May 2011.

  9. Areas of Hiring Frequencies and Percentages of Respondents Indicating an Area (N = 18)

Minority Enrollment % Range from 0 to 19, Mean = 4.9.

  11. Rating of Preparation and Importance Items (N = 10; N = 11)

  12. Alumni Survey – Advanced Programs • Conducted October 2011. Administered once every three years. • Sent as anonymous Qualtrics survey. • Listing of graduates obtained from ISU Foundation. • 482 emails sent, 430 did not fail, 32 responses received for response rate of 7.4% (likely artificially deflated due to inactive emails).
