2018Ohio Educator Preparation Provider Performance Report

Ashland University

Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) Results for Ohio TeachersPrepared by an Ohio Educator Preparation Provider at Ashland University

Reporting Period from Sept 1, 2017 to Aug 31, 2018(Data Source: Ohio Department of Education)

Description of Data:Ohio's system for evaluating teachers (Ohio's Teacher Evaluation System) provides educators with adetailed view of their performance, with a focus on specific strengths and opportunities for improvement.The system is research-based and designed to be transparent, fair, and adaptable to the specific contextsof Ohio's school districts. Furthermore, it builds on what educators know about the importance of ongoingassessment and feedback as a powerful vehicle to support improved practice. Teacher performance andstudent academic growth are the two key components of Ohio's evaluation system.

An apparent dip in evaluations for the most recent "Initial License Effective Year" cohort comes from theperception that any given year's evaluation results is actually a chronological view of evaluations. Rather,it's a view of the evaluations from that school year, showing four different cohorts of licensed educators.The most recently licensed cohort will eventually have more evaluation results in its second year as moreeducators find employment as teachers or principals.

Limitations of the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) Data:1. The information in the report is for those individuals receiving their licenses with effective years of 2014,2015, 2016, and 2017.2. The teacher evaluation data in this report are provided by the Ohio Department of Education.3. Due to ORC 3333.041(B), annual results must be masked for institutions with fewer than 10 completerswith OTES data.

Ohio Educator Licensure Examination Pass Rates at Ashland University

Reporting Period from Sept 1, 2016 to Aug 31, 2017(Data Source: USDOE Title II Report)

Description of Data:Ohio educator licensure requirements include passage of all requisite licensure examinations at the statedetermined cut score. The reported results reflect Title II data, and therefore represent pass rate data solelyfor initial licenses. Further, because the data are gathered from the Title II reports, there is a one year lag inaccessing the data. Teacher licensure pass rate data are the only reported metric for which the data do notreflect the reporting year 2017-2018.

As of 2013, the Ohio Assessments for Educators replaced the Praxis subject assessments for initiallicensure. Some Praxis II assessments are still being reported because recent program completers tookthose tests in or before 2013.

Teacher Residency Program

Reporting Period from Sept 1, 2017 to Aug 31, 2018(Data Source: Ashland University)

Description of Data:The Resident Educator Program in Ohio encompasses a robust four-year teacher development system. Thedata below show the persistence of Ohio Educator Preparation Provider graduates through the program.

Data from this table captures a year-to-year snapshot of the persistence of Ohio Educators PreparationProvider graduates through the program. Corrections to prior year reporting may be captured in the currentyear's reporting. Data used to create this "snapshot" table is sourced not only from the current year's residenteducator completion data results, but also prior year results because a Resident Educator may fail tocomplete all the program year requirements within the same academic year.

Numerous scenarios were taken into account and discussions were held on how each should impact thecounts. Some of the scenarios addressed in the design of the table are as follows:

1. A normal scenario, where a student is reported each year and is listed as completed. In this case, we onlyinclude them in the Entering/Persisting counts for the current year.

2. A scenario where a student is reported as entering one year, but not as completed, but then reportedthe following year as completing the previous year and current year. In this case, we include them in thePersisting count for the previous year, but not the Entering count. We also include them in the Entering andPersisting counts for the current year.

3. A scenario where a student is not reported one year, but reported with records for the previous yearand the current year the following year (both as completed). In this scenario, we include them in both theEntering and Persisting counts for both years.

Excellence and Innovation Initiatives

Reporting Period from Sept 1, 2017 to Aug 31, 2018(Data Source: Ashland University)

Description of Data:This section reflects self-reported information from Ohio Educator Preparation Providers on a maximum ofthree initiatives geared to increase excellence and support innovation in the preparation of Ohio educators.

Teacher Preparation Programs

Initiative: Comprehensive Assessment / Continuous Improvement

Purpose: To create a system that supports data-driven decision making.

Goal: A continuous cycle of assessment data that informs our program and student needs.

Strategy: We are in the process of implementing an assessment system that ensures coverage of contentrequired by the profession, by our acreditors, and fulfilling teacher licensure requirements. We haveadopted the CPAST system for field and internship evaluations created by OSU (reliable and valid).After identifying all assessments in use in all programs, we identify which measure the KSDs and SLOsefficiently and should be used, with possible improvements, as key assessments in all programs, and/orspecific programs. Criteria and rubrics have been developed that are tied to standards (CAEP, OTES,OAEs, CEC, etc). We have had the pleasure of the involvement of many stakeholders in this process.These include faculty and administration from K-12 schools and community leaders. The rollout of thenew or updated assessments occurred for Fall 2018 courses and we already have data coming in thatwe are analyzing. Upcoming tasks include checking our created assessments for inter-rater reliability,and, as a college, and with stakeholders, review data for indications of the need for improvements(data-driven decisions). We have begun collecting data from our completers as well.

Demonstration of Impact: OAE scores, CPAST data, COE instruments, faculty & stakeholder engagement, feedback fromcompleters.

External Recognition: None

Programs: All teacher education programs

Initiative: Competency-Based Intervention System, updated.

Purpose: To assure that teacher candidates have appropriate skill levels in reading, writing, and math.

Goal: Develop a competency-based intervention system to monitor and mentor students

Strategy: In an effort to ensure our candidates are successful, ACT and SAT scores have been discussed interms of disaggregation, cut off scores based on the CAEP requirement of the 50th percentile, and theissue of superscores. A review of data indicated that our Academic Pathway option for students, as analternate to one CORE test, is effective. We are investigating if this alternate can be used for more thanone CORE subject area - i.e. both writing and math (not reading). We are also investigating existingsupport systems and recommending additional supports where needed. As part of the university-wide“Accent on Writing” initiative, we are also developing an appropriate writing assessment or assessmentsthat support and improve student writing.

Demonstration of Impact: Grades in composition and math courses Writing portfolio rubric scores; scores on OAE APK andContent Knowledge assessments.

External Recognition: None

Programs: All teacher education programs

Principal Preparation Programs

Initiative: Comp. Assessment System for Principal Program

Purpose: Ensure high quality teaching and learning across all sections of principal courses

Goal: Key assessments tied to standards

Strategy: We have changed our traditional principal 3 credit hour courses into 1 credit hour modules. Candidatesworking toward their principal licensure now have much more flexibility in terms of their own scheduleand goals. We have recently integrated The OAE Assessment Framework in every course. Standardsbased rubrics have been developed for each assessment.Stakeholders, including Principals,Superintendents, and Curriculum Coordinators played a vital role in developing the revised program andassessments. Faculty and adjuncts have been trained on using the rubrics and Blackboard LMS. Theresults of the assessments and licensure exams will be used to make data-driven decisions. In an effortto increase the professional writing skills of our candidates, we have implemented what is essentiallya pre and post writing assignment. These are integrated within the OAE Work Study and Case Studyprojects.

Demonstration of Impact: Licensure exams, feedback from stakeholders, final writing assessments.
