Satisfaction of employers and employment milestones

The College of Education has an annual program advisory board. As well as individual program advisory committees to seek input from the five local school districts and other stakeholders. In addition, satisfaction surveys are conducted with central office administrators who are knowledgeable about the FGCU programs, and the themes are always positive.

The employment milestones is reflected in APPR by the Florida Department of Education as below.

Explanation of Retention Rate
Performance Metric	Performance Target (4 points)	Performance Target (3 points)	Performance Target (2 points)	Performance Target (1 point)
Retention Rates are determined by the average number of years instructional personnel (who were initially employed in either of the 2 subsequent years following completion) remained employed in a five year follow-up period from initial employment.	The average number of years employed in the 5-year period following initial placement is 4.5 years or more.	The average number of years employed in the 5-year period following initial placement is 3 years to less than 4.5 years.	The average number of years employed in the 5-year period following initial placement is 2 years to less than 3 years.	The average number of years employed in the 5-year period following initial placement is less than 2 years.

Satisfaction of completers

Surveys are sent to graduates twice per year. For the 2016-2017 graduates, mean scores for results are listed by category (4.0 maximum score):

Perceptions of the College of Education n=3.53

Professional Competencies—Effectiveness n=3.53

Professional Competencies—Relevancy n=3.71

Four Outcome Measures

Graduation Rates (Initial and advanced)

(Rosa will supply the data by April 26)

Ability of completers to meet licensing (certificate) and any additional state requirements; Title II (Initial & advanced levels)

All of our students have to meet the state license requirements before graduation. Therefore, 100 % of our completers meet state license requirements.

Ability of completers to be hired in educational positions for which they are prepared (Initial and advanced levels)

The numbers provided below are directly from the Annual Program Performance Report (APPR).
