Outcome Measure #2: The Program Completion Rate

Q: What is the published timeframe for full-time candidates to complete the early childhood program(s) included in this Annual Report?
A: 2 years (4 FT semesters)

The following charts indicate the percentage of full-time candidates completing the program within the program's published timeframe for the three most recent academic years for which the program has data. The program must complete the information for the 150% indicator and choose to report on either the 100%, 200% (or twice) or 300% (three times) indicator. The academic years selected must fall within eight years of the date this annual report is submitted. If reporting on the 200% or 300% measure, the percentage of completers who finished within this time frame will include those counted in the 150% measure.

Outcome Measure #3: Institutional Selected Data

All programs are required to select at least one of three outcome measures on which to report. (Institutions submitting multiple programs in a single Annual Report may select the same or a different measure for each program and should complete a separate chart for each program.)

(A) The fall-to-fall retention rate in the program for each of the three most recently completed academic years.

OR

(B) The number and percentage of program graduates employed in the early childhood profession or pursuing further education in the profession within one year of graduation for each of the three most recent academic years for which information is available.

OR

(C) Institutionally designed measure that speaks to candidate outcomes in the program (list the measure and the data for the measure). The data must be reported for the most recent three academic years. Such measures might include the average GPA of the graduating class, the number of candidates who completed their courses with a “C” or above, the pass rate on national performance assessments such as edTPA, etc.
