EPP Data Dashboard
PNW’s Educator Preparation Provider (EPP) considers data essential for continuous program improvement.
By state law, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) annually collects and reports information from Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs). The following information is collected from EPPs, principals, teachers, and schools.
By state law, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) collects and reports information from Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) annually. The following information is collected from EPPs, principals, teachers, and schools:
- The “attrition, retention, and completion rates of teacher candidates for the previous three (3) calendar years.”
- Average scaled or standard scores of program completers in basic skills, content, and pedagogical testing.
- Average number of times program completers took the basic skills, content, and pedagogy tests before passing.
- Percentage passing the basic skills, content, and pedagogy tests on the first attempt.
- Admission practices of each program as they compare to the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) minimum admission standards.
- Principal survey results of the quality of their teachers completing an Indiana program within the previous two (2) years.
- Teacher feedback form results for those receiving initial license within the previous three (3) years.
- Staff performance evaluation results are reported in the aggregate.
- The number of teacher candidates in each content area who complete the teacher preparation program during the year, disaggregated by ranges of cumulative grade point averages.
- The number of teacher candidates in each content area who, during the year:
- (A) do not pass a content area licensure examination; and
- (B) do not retake the content area licensure examination.
This information must be reported using a matrix which is to be posted to the IDOE website. While this matrix is not intended to rank or “grade” programs, it provides an opportunity for the public to interpret or compare program quality based on a variety of data points. Please note that all data points are based upon the September 1– August 31 Title II timeframe.
CAEP Accountability Measures
Teacher Effectiveness: Data based on the academic year 2023-2024 will be available from the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) in September 2025 and will be updated on this website at that time. During the academic year 2022-2023 the final percentage of teachers rating highly effective/effective was 100% based on 21/21 teachers evaluated. Teachers with one (1) year experience fell below ten (10) therefore, data was not reported. This data supports that Purdue Northwest School of Education prepares teacher candidates to be successful once they transition to the classroom.
Satisfaction of Employers & Stakeholder Involvement: Analysis of Satisfaction of employers for PNW Completers indicate that building administrators perceive completers to be applying the knowledge, skills, and dispositions they learned in their preparation program. Based on the last three years of data from principals, 100% were “Satisfied” or “Very Satisfied” with the preparation of the teachers working at their schools.
The results from the survey also indicates that principals see completers exhibit these understandings ethically and in adherence with the legal requirements of teaching; that completers analyze student assessment data to improve classroom instruction; that they integrate technological tools to advance student learning; and that they are open and accepting of suggestions/constructive feedback. Scores were consistent across all areas of performance with no areas as exceptional but all areas proficient with a 3.4/4.0 average score for the most recent year surveyed.
While no area in the data indicates perceived levels of performance that are concerning, feedback from employers indicated additional training in the following areas could be beneficial…data to inform instruction; increased differential instruction; and classroom management.
Multiple points of data regarding candidate competency upon completion is used to determine the EPP’s efficacy in this area. A large portion of this data is captured in the annual Title II report. The Title II single assessment pass rates on all certification exam results are presented for convenience and maximum transparency. Sample sizes with fewer than 10 examinees are not reported based on privacy reasons.
Purdue University Northwest complies with Title II reporting requirements. Title II Section 207 of the Higher Education Act (HEA) requires states, recipients of HEA funds, and all institutions with teacher preparation programs that enroll students receiving federal financial assistance to prepare annual reports on teacher preparation and licensing.

During the 2023-2024 academic year, there were a total of 74 completers. Across all programs, 77% (57 candidates) were eligible to receive their teaching license.
To be hired in educational positions, candidates must graduate from the program and pass the licensure exams required by the Indiana Department of Education.
