or parental status, sexual orientation, or disability.

Wisconsin Statutes 115.28(7)(g), require the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to

report on the state’s educator preparation programs (EPPs). The report must include information

on program completers and their first time pass rates on required performance assessments.

Additionally, the DPI is including selected licensure and short-term employment data for EPP

completers. This report uses EPP completer data; licensure exam results (Praxis II; the American

Council for the Teaching of Foreign Language (ACTFL); and Foundations of Reading Test); and

public school employment data. Future reports will include edTPA results and continuous

employment trends by graduate cohorts.

Definitions

EPP completers are unduplicated counts of candidates who have completed an approved

educator preparation program (traditional or alternative route) and all requirements for licensure

between September 1, 2015, and August 31, 2016, and are eligible for licensure in Wisconsin.

Licensed in Wisconsin refers to 2015-16 EPP completers who received one or more Wisconsin

teaching licenses between December 1, 2015, and August 31, 2016, after successfully completing

an educator preparation program.

Note: Some EPP completers do not seek Wisconsin licensure because they move to

another state, seek employment in a private school, or work in a non-education field.

Employed in Wisconsin refers to EPP completers (based on the definition above) from 2015-16

who were employed in public schools in Wisconsin during the 2016-17 year. These data do not

include EPP completers who are employed in another state or in Wisconsin private schools

because those employers do not report to DPI.


Between September 1, 2015, and August 31, 2016, 4,905 candidates completed a Wisconsin

educator preparation program. This represents a 15.7% increase from the number of completers

in 2014-15 (4,239). A large majority (87.3%) of EPP completers applied for and received a

Wisconsin license, and more than two-thirds (67.2%) were employed in a Wisconsin public school

during the 2016-17 school year.

Licensure Assessments As required under Wisconsin Statutes 115.28(7)(g), this report includes information on

candidates’ first-time and overall pass rates on required licensure tests (i.e., Praxis II, American

Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), and the Foundations of Reading Test for

Wisconsin). Testing data summarized below include candidates who were enrolled in educator

preparation programs and took tests between September 1, 2015, and August 31, 2016. Students

are not considered program completers or endorsed for licensure until they have passed all

required assessments for their licensure/subject area. As a result, there are more test-takers than

program completers for most educator preparation programs.

Praxis II Assessment

The Praxis II Assessment, administered by the Education Testing Service (ETS), is required for

candidates in all subjects (except for World Languages–see below) who apply for Wisconsin

licensure. A complete listing of Praxis II subject area tests used in Wisconsin can be found on the

ETS website (http://www.ets.org/Praxis/wi/requirements). All applicants for Regular and Special

Education licensure must complete the Elementary Education or Middle School Content

assessment, while those seeking licensure in subject areas at the middle and high school level must

pass the Praxis II assessment for their subject area.

American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Assessments

The ACTFL is required for all world language teacher candidates enrolled in Wisconsin educator

preparation programs beginning September 2011. To learn more about Wisconsin-approved

world language assessments, go to the Language Testing International (LTI) website

(http://www.languagetesting.com).

ACTFL Pass Rates by EPP for 2015-16 is unavailable due to the small number of test takers state-

wide. The data disaggregated by EPP would have provided statistically unreliable indicators.

Wisconsin Foundations of Reading Test

The Wisconsin Foundations of Reading Test (FORT) assesses proficiency and depth of

understanding of reading and writing development. Applicants for initial licensure as an

elementary (grades K-5, EC, EC-MC, MC-EA), special education, or reading teacher, or as a reading

specialist, must receive a passing score on the FORT. Any licensed teacher wanting to add one or

more of these areas to their license must also pass the test. For more information, see the

Wisconsin Foundations of Reading Test web page from Pearson

(http://www.wi.nesinc.com/Home.aspx).

Please note that the first three columns of data in the tables below refer to candidates who took

the required test for the first time between September 1, 2015, and August 31, 2016. The final

column includes candidates who first took the test prior to September 1, 2015, and also took it

between September 1, 2015, and August 31, 2016. Therefore, the pass rate for “Any Attempt”

may be higher or lower than the first-time pass rate.
