Measure 2: Satisfaction of Employers and Stakeholder Involvement
STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT
Doane University Initial Programs Engage P-12 Partner groups in a variety of collaborative partnerships. P-12 partners develop agreements with Doane Educator Preparation Programs to support clinical experiences for candidates. P-12 partners also engage in annual assessment/advisory meetings with initial program directors and faculty. The primary focus of the advisory meeting for the initial program is looking at completer data from Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) 1st and 3rd years surveys. In addition, new assessments are reviewed along with existing selected assessment data from various other instruments the program uses to assess candidates. For example, a newly created assessment called Teacher Identity Development (dispositions instrument) is a focus to receive feedback and share initial assessment data.
SATISFACTION OF EMPLOYERS / COMPLETERS
