Impact Measures (CAEP Standard 4)
Boise State continued its Completer Case Study Studying Practice and Student Learning. This study adds to data collected in 2014-2015, 2017-2018, 2019-2020, 2020-2021.
1. Impact on P-12 Learning and Development (Component 4.1)
Starting in 2015-2016 initial Certification completers engaged in a direct unit study called Studying, Practice and Student Learning, which is similar to their Pre-Service performance assessment. Completers planned and enacted an inclusive unit of study, analyzed formative and summative student data and learning outcomes (SLO’s) and reflected and responded to their student data through improvement-aimed goal-setting. This measure was repeated in 2017-2018, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. The study will continue fall of 2023 with a new cohort of first and second year teachers.
For more information about the Studying Practice and Student Learning project, visit this page to learn from the researchers and participants themselves, and see the study in action.
Impact on Student Learning: student achievement
The Idaho State Board of Education collects student achievement data on a yearly basis as a metric for Educator Preparation Programs. This data is provided to Boise State after June 30 each year.| Completer Cohort | Percentage of first-year teachers that met student achievement/student success indicator targets |
|---|---|
| 2021-2022 completers teaching for the first year in 2022-2023 | 98.10% |
| 2020-2021 completers teaching for the first year in 2021-2022 | 96.50% |
| 2019-2020 completers teaching for the first year in 2020-2021 | 94% |
2. Indicators of Teaching Effectiveness (Component 4.2)
Aligned with Danielson’s Framework For Teaching (FFT), initial certification completers were evaluated by their principals for teacher effectiveness. According to data collected by the Idaho State Board of Education, Boise State first-year teachers who completed in 2021-2022 had an average of 99.37% of the 22 components on the state evaluation framework rated as basic or better.
Employer and Alumni Surveys
In 2014-2015, the Idaho Coalition for Educator Preparation (ICEP) group developed and validated an alumni and employer survey to inform the continuous improvement of Idaho EPPs. The surveys were developed for alumni who have graduated within the past three years from Idaho’s EPPs to measure how prepared they feel for teaching in a classroom, and to measure employer satisfaction of these programs. The surveys are aligned with the Danielson Framework for Teaching (FFT) observation rubric (Unsatisfactory, Basic, Proficient, and Distinguished) to maintain consistency across EPPs and evaluation items. The question items are aligned with InTASC standards. The alumni and employer surveys were validated through ICEP in the summer 2015 and distributed that fall across the state of Idaho to inform all EPPs.

3. Satisfaction of Employers (Component 4.3 | A.4.1)
Through surveying the employers of our graduates across initial and advanced programs, Boise State intends to measure the degree to which employers are satisfied with completer preparation for assigned responsibilities working with p-12 students and their families.
Overall, the 2023 mean scores indicate that employers evaluate our preparation programs to be proficient and above.Â
We continue to monitor preparation for English language learners across cohorts. The last two years of survey data in this area show improvements. This year, employers reported an increase in completers that scored with distinction in the Learner and Learning InTASC category, regarding a teachers’ preparation in using strategies that support new English language learners.

Additional information about certification rates can be found in the measure below for placement rates.
7. Placement Rates: Initial Certification
The placement analyses in the table below feature the count and percentage of initial certification completers who did and did not choose to go into teaching.
Initial Placement Rates by Totals
The "grand total of completers" is the number of students who completed a teacher preparation program for initial certification.The "count of completers who chose to certify after program completion" is the number of completers, and the "certification rate (count of completers who chose to certify/grand total)" is the percentage of completers who submitted an application for institutional recommendation to the associate dean for teacher education. Once the institutional recommendation for certification is signed by the associate dean, the completer's application is forwarded to the Idaho State Department of Education for teacher licensure. These report the number of completers who applied for certification. It does not differentiate who went on to accept teaching positions.
The "placement rate excluding those choosing not to certify from grand total (placement count/grand total-not certified)" is the percentage of certified completers who were verified to be in teaching positions in the following year of completion (e.g., a 2017-2018 completer who can be verified in a teaching position in 2018-2019).
Note: The "placement rate" is calculated simply by dividing the number of completers who are teaching by the number of completers who completed certification. Some completers who certified went on as graduate students, chose not to work in education, or it was not possible to locate any information; these are still included in the denominator of the placement rate calculation.
| Placement Rate | 2015-2016 | 2016-2017 | 2017-2018 | 2018-2019 | 2019-2020 | 2020-2021 | 2021-2022 |
