CAEP Accountability Measures

The CAEP accountability measures for our initial and advanced certification programs are presented below.

Measure 1. Completer Effectiveness

These data are from the New Jersey Department of Education Educator Performance Reports for Education Preparation (PREP). The New Jersey Department of Education releases the PREP reports to provide data on teachers that each Educator Preparation Provider (EPP) recommended for certification. Due to pandemic-related disruptions, most teachers in New Jersey did not receive evaluation ratings for the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022, or 2022-2023 school years. Therefore, updated value-added performance data is not available at this time. The data presented below is based upon the most recent PREP data available, 2020.

New Jersey state relies on multiple measures of performance to evaluate teachers. These measures include components of both student achievement and teacher practice. Student achievement is measured by Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) and Student Growth Objectives (SGOs). SGPs are a measure of gains on standardized test scores from one year to the next. Teachers set SGOs for their students at the start of the year and are assessed on whether those objectives are met at the end of the year.

Teacher practice is measured by performance on state-approved observation instruments and results in a Teacher Practice Score (TPS). All New Jersey teachers receive a Summative Rating, which is an overall evaluation score that combines teacher practice and student achievement growth, created by compiling multiple measures, TPS, SGP, and SGO.

NOTE: The NJDOE received a federal waiver in March 2020 that removed the requirement to administer statewide assessments and report on statewide assessment results for the 2019-2020 school year. Statewide assessments, including NJSLA, DLM, and ACCESS for ELLs, were cancelled in spring 2020 as a result of this waiver. Additionally, the NJSLA was cancelled in spring 2021, 2022. The DLM and ACCESS for ELLs
assessments were administered in spring 2021. As a result, statewide assessment results for the NJSLA and related accountability measures are not available and were not reported for the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023 school years. It is anticipated that data will be available for the 2025 annual report.
