Completer Effectiveness

  1. Case Study 2019 - 2020 and 2021 - 2022 that measures completer effectiveness and impact on student learning
  2. P-12 Impact of Student Learning Survey 2020 -2021 and 2021 - 2022 that provides a second measure of impact on student learning
  3. Alumni survey from 2015, 2018, and 2021 that provides a second measure of completer effectiveness
  4. Summer 2018 and 2021 alumni focus group that provides a third measure of completer effectiveness

The New York State Education Department (NYSED) provided data on Student Achievement Growth ratings for teachers who received their teaching degree through Geneseo between 2012 and 2016. Student Achievement Growth Rating (AY 14-15 and 15- 16) from Geneseo’s undergraduate program completers (n=351) were compared to the state average (n=10,404). ELA and Math scores are used for student achievement data, so only teachers of Math or ELA were included in this data set. Data indicate that the scores are comparable: 96% of Geneseo teachers were rated highly effective or effective, based on Student Achievement Growth Rating data, compared to 93% state-wide. NYSED has not provided this type of data, disaggregated by EPP, since this date, so this is the most current data available.

This graphic is described above. It has a light yellow background with white text that reads: How well do program completers succeed in the classroom? with bar graphs in black, gray, light green, and dark green on the right side.

The full report is available.

The EPP implemented a case study of completers in 2019-2020 and 2021-2022 to measure impact on P-12 student learning as well as observing 4 program completers in the classroom. The results from 2019-2020 are attached in the following downloadable link: Case Study Final Results (19-20). 

Four alumni participated in the 2021 - 2022 case study. The results are attached in the following downloadable link: Case Study Final Results (21-22).

The P-12 impact on student learning survey was implemented in Spring 2021 in order to have two measures of impact on student learning (Standard 4). It was given to teachers (alumni of Geneseo) to give to their students. No student information was collected and data has been aggregated. For Spring 2021, three alumni agreed and had their students complete the survey. Attached are the results.

The P-12 Impact on Student Learning Survey was administered to teacher alumni of the Geneseo School of Education programs to provide to their students in their classes again in Spring 2022. Six alumni agreed to participate and had their students complete the survey, resulting in 155 responses.

  • Alum #1 (Undergraduate Adolescence English ‘19 & Reading & Literacy, ‘20): 7th grade ELA teacher at Binghamton City School District, 19 of 65 students completed the P-12 impact on student learning survey (29% response rate)
  • Alum #2 (Undergraduate Early Childhood/Childhood, ‘20): 4th grade teacher at Marcy Elementary, 13 of 14 students completed the P-12 impact on student learning survey (93% response rate)
  • Alum #3 (Childhood with Special Education, ‘17): 6th grade teacher at East Meadow, 12 of 12 students completed the P-12 impact on student learning survey (100% response rate)
  • Alum #4 (Childhood with Special Education ‘16 and Reading & Literacy B-12 ‘19) 2nd grade teacher at Penfield School District, 18 students in class (97% response rate)
  • Alum #5 (Adolescence Education in Spanish ‘20): 7th and 9th grade Spanish teacher at Greece (Odyssey and Olympia) Central School District, then Churchville-Chili, 25-30 students in classes – (89% response rate)
  • Alum #6 (Childhood with Special Education ‘19): 5th/6th SPED teacher at Troy Prep School, 9 of 31 students completed the P-12 impact on student learning survey (29% response rate)

All items are rated “always” or “mostly” more than half the time (58% or greater). This is two percentage points higher than the previous year. The highest rated items (86% or more rated “always” or “mostly”) are related to InTASC Standards 1, 2, 3 (The Learner and Learning), and 4 (Content Knowledge). The results are included in the Case Study Final Results (21-22).
