Educator preparation program (EPP) pass rates allow students considering a career as a teacher, leader, or high-incidence disabilities educator to compare the performance of educator candidates from Baker University’s educator preparation programs to Kansas and national pass rate averages on the tests required for licensure as a teacher in Kansas.

What the Pass Rates Indicate

The pass rate indicates the percentage of candidates from a college or university that took and passed the examinations. Note that some candidates may take these examinations before they complete the educational program at the college or university, which could affect the pass rate.  Data is extracted from Educational Testing Service (ETS) Data Manager.  N represents examinees who took the indicated exam during the specific testing period and self-reported that they attended Baker University School of Education.  National performance data are provided for comparison.

Pass Rate Data are Just One Factor When Choosing a University EPP

Please note that the test data was not collected nor is it intended to be used for the purpose of evaluating individual teacher preparation programs; many factors affect test score data. The data are provided as a service to interested individuals and represent only one of many sources of information that should be carefully considered when making college application decisions. Additionally, other criteria should be considered when applying to an institution of higher education, such as financial resources expended by the institution, curriculum offered, and the experience and number of advanced degrees held by the faculty, just to name a few. Parents and students should consider a variety of factors when making application decisions.

Measure 4 (Initial and Advanced): Ability of completers to be hired.

Baker School of Education collects employment data of its program completers in several ways.  We utilize email communication between program completers, social media, Teacher Education and Licensure database at KSDE, and Baker faculty and graduates networking.  The table below provides the percentages of program completers in USOE who were employed the first year after program completion.  Graduates from 2021-22 have a 100% employment rate for their first teaching job. Graduates of our School of Education graduate programs are currently employed in education in order to complete program requirements.
