Department of Educator Preparation Programs
TEU Accreditation
As a part of the accreditation process, EPPs must provide certain data to be displayed on the institution鈥檚 website and other sites and publications as appropriate. The following information provides data in answer to CAEP鈥檚 Accountability Measures.听
For more information, please contact us at LUTeach@langston.edu or (405) 466-3382.
The EPP, through a Data Governance Council, made up of Educator Preparation Professionals in concert with OEQA and the Oklahoma State Department of Education, have made Teacher and Leader Effectiveness (TLE) assessment data available to universities in order to determine and verify program completers鈥� success in the field, as well as, identify opportunities for improvement in the preparation of current and future candidates. Results from the TLE can be found in the link below.听

Note: Further TLE Data from year 2019-Present is not available through the state at this time.听
The EPP, in collaboration with OEQA, surveys all Oklahoma public school employers of recent graduates to gather feedback. Either the supervising principal or the recent graduate鈥檚 mentor completes this survey generating First Year Teacher (FYT) Employer Results. Additionally, the EPP gathers information from stakeholders through regular EPPC meetings.听

Summary of the Mentor Comments
Candidate competence upon program completion for Oklahoma candidates is measure by the Oklahoma Subject Area Exam (OSAT) and the Praxis Performance Assessment for Teachers (PPAT). These exams are taken during the final clinical experience. When there are less than six examinees, test scores may not be shared publicly for privacy reasons. The EPP has fewer than six candidates for the past three reporting cycles; therefore, no scores can be posted.听
The EPP has multiple points of data on this, a large portion of which is captured in our annual Title II report below. However, the EPP also offers all certification exam results for transparency, and these scores vary based on sample size. The EPP is unable to display a table with candidate information because when there are less than 6 examinees, scores are not allowed to be reported to the public for privacy reasons. To obtain licensure in the state of Oklahoma, candidates are required to take and pass, successfully, state certification tests. The Oklahoma Subject Area Test (OSAT) and the Praxis Performance Assessment for Teachers (PPAT) are encouraged to be taken during the clinical experience.听
The Oklahoma State School Board Association (OSSBA, 2019) reported 596 teaching vacancies as of August 1, 2019. Further, 3,092 emergency certifications were issued for the 2019-2020 academic year as of November 2019 (a temporary certificate provided only at the administrator’s request when the school does not have a certified applicant). Teacher shortage intensifies in Oklahoma鈥檚 rural, urban, and suburban districts alike. There is demonstrated need for teachers in special education, elementary education, high school science, middle school math, and early childhood education (OSSBA, 2019); The Oklahoma Educator Supply and Demand Report, shared with EPP candidates, is available here.听
Given the overall shortage of teacher and the greater shortage in particular licensure areas, EPP program completers have ample employment opportunities in their fields of study both state and nationwide. In addition to Oklahoma-based employers, EPP program completers are actively sought by districts in Texas, California, Ohio, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Maryland, Georgia, and Kansas with employers from each of these states either attending EPP job fairs or sending information via email correspondence to disseminate to candidates. The EPP does receive employment data for those who accept employment in Oklahoma public schools from OEQA for program completers. This data does indicate the number of program completers choosing to remain in Oklahoma.听
