Demographic Characteristics• Ohio University graduates are most likely to be female (71%, pg.58), white (88%, pg.58), earn
$30,000 to $34,999 per year (42%, pg.60), and are between 25 and 29 years old (49%, pg.59).
Program Selection• Graduates are most likely to have studied early childhood education (23%, pg. 14).
– Graduates are most likely to have recently completed a bachelor’s degree to earn their initial teacher licensure (pg. 12).
Core Competencies / Preparedness• Overall, 85% of graduates describe themselves as prepared or very prepared, compared to 6%
who describe themselves as unprepared or very unprepared, to be a successful teacher (pg.25).– On average, graduates report being most prepared to:
• Take responsibility for promoting learners' growth (pg.14).• Reflect critically on data and adjust accordingly (pg.23).• Communicate effectively in different environments (pg.18).
– On average, graduates report being least prepared to:• Work with students to meet IEP goals (pg.17).• Make instruction accessible to English learners (pg.17).• Adapt testing conditions to diverse learner needs (pg.21).
• Graduates generally rated themselves as more prepared to perform tasks related to professional learning and ethical practice and less prepared to perform tasks related to learning differences.

Project Background
• Ohio University participated in Eduventures’ annual survey of recent graduates of teacher preparation programs nationwide. This survey used questions based on INTASC and ISLLC standards to assess the preparation and career outcomes for teacher and administrator program graduates.
• The key questions addressed in this investigation are:– How well prepared are Ohio University teacher education and administrator program
graduates to enter their professional fields?– How successful are Ohio University graduates in securing employment in the field for
which they were trained?– Where are Ohio University graduates working?– What factors drove graduates to enroll in the program originally? – In which areas did they gain certification and what aspirations do they have for
additional certification or academic study?– How does Ohio University compare to the National Sample in these areas?

Project Background & Survey Sample
© 2014 Eduventures, Inc.
• Surveys were collected primarily from April 2013 to July 2013. • Ohio University’s survey yielded 282 responses, compared to 1,542* total responses in the 2013 SOE
Alumni Pulse survey. – Ohio University’s response rate: 7.1%**; Overall response rate for all participating institutions: 10.9%.
• Participating institutions:
• In addition to responses collected from the above participating institutions, Eduventures also collected 250 responses from a third party panel to create a National Sample.
– The National Sample only includes respondents who graduated from a university-based teacher preparation program within the last five years.
• Responses from Ohio University graduates are compared to the National Sample• Unless otherwise noted, percentage results in graphs and tables are only among respondents who
answered the question (e.g. “no-answers” / branched out respondents are not included).• Due to survey branching and non-answers, n-sizes vary by question.
