This section includes a summary of data collected through the North Carolina Educator Evaluation System (NCEES) and Educator Value-Added Assessment System (EVAAS) for beginning teachers prepared by this Educator Preparation Program. North Carolina defines a ‘beginning teacher’ as one who is in the first three years of teaching and holds a Standard Professional 1 license. The evaluation standards identify the knowledge, skills, and dispositions expected of teachers. School Administrators rate the level at which teachers meet Standards 1-5 as they move from ratings of ‘Developing’ to ‘Distinguished’. Effective 2020-21, at the end of their third year beginning teachers must be rated ‘Proficient’ on Standards 1-5 on the most recent ‘Teacher Summary Rating Form’ in order to be eligible for the Standard Professional 2 license. New teachers are more likely to be rated lower on the evaluation standards as they are still are still learning and developing new skills and knowledge. Student Growth is determined by a value-added measure as calculated by the statewide growth model for Educator Effectiveness. Possible student growth ratings included ‘Does Not Meet Expected Growth’, ‘Meets Expected Growth, and ‘Exceeds Expected Growth’. Additional information about NCEES and EVAAS is available at https://www.dpi.nc.gov/districts-schools/districts-schools-support/district-human-capital/educator-effectiveness-model .

The GWU data show that upon exiting, our completers have the requisite knowledge, skills, and dispositions to positively impact P-12 student outcomes. A summary of data related of the effectiveness of our initially licensed completers as assessed by their employers as well as student growth on achievement measures appears below, provided by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NC DPI).
