Impact on P-12 Learning and Development and Indicators of Teaching Effectiveness
The demonstrated teaching skills and impact on K-12 students graphic above visualizes the performance evaluations of candidates who have completed a program at the institution and are employed in an Illinois public school.
Teacher performance evaluations consist of two components: student growth and professional practice. Student growth means a demonstrable change in a student’s or group of students’ knowledge or skills, as evidenced by gain and/or attainment on two or more assessments, between two or more points in time.
Districts may designate any percentage of the evaluation toward each component. Student growth must comprise at least 30 percent of the evaluation. Districts may also utilize any rubric in evaluations.
Summative evaluation ratings are not comparable from school to school due to evaluator subjectivity and percentage of evaluation utilized for each component.

Employer Satisfaction Interviews: 2017-19 Cycle
In order to assess employers’ satisfaction with our graduates, the College of Education (COE) conducts bi-annual employer interviews. The interview method is a good fit with our institution due to our size (relatively small number of graduates) and the fact that most of our graduates are employed within a 20-mile radius. The interview method with its mix of qualitative and quantitative data provides deeper and more comprehensive view of employers’ satisfaction with our graduates when compare to surveys.
The construction of interview protocol included developing questions that are aligned with the InTASC Standards and that assess our candidates’ impact on PK-12 student learning. The personal face-to-face interviews allow us to probe beyond just basic agreement or disagreement and determine specific areas of strength or areas for improvement. In addition, interviews provide an opportunity for triangulation and increased validity as areas of agreement or divergence among employers and other measures can be observed.
For the interviews, a purposive sample was used to collect a representative sample across all COE programs over the next five years. In order to select this cycle’s sample, the COE reviewed reports indicating where candidates who graduated within the past five years were employed. Schools and principals with more than one graduate employed were considered. Three schools were selected with graduates from the elementary (5), secondary math (1), and visual arts (1) programs.

1Due to the Covid-19 crisis of 2020, the cycle of data collection was postponed.
The COE’s field experience coordinator contacted the principals to explain the process and request their cooperation in completing an anonymous survey and meeting for an in-person interview. All three principals agreed. Prior to the face-to-face interview, the survey was sent out via Survey Monkey. The survey asked the principals to, “Please respond to the statements regarding teachers at your school who completed an education degree at the University of St. Francis since 2013”. Then they were asked to indicate their level of agreement (Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree) regarding several statements (see table below). After the principals completed the survey, the field experience coordinator arranged a meeting at each of the schools to conduct the interviews. At the interview, principals were asked to describe the performance of the recent graduates in the following categories: 1) The Learner and Learning, 2) Content Knowledge, 3) Instructional Practice, and 4) Professional Responsibility. The field experience coordinator asked follow-up questions for clarification and to gather more robust evidence of their respective performances. The interviews were recorded and notes were taken by the field experience coordinator.
Survey Results: Satisfaction of Employers and Employment Milestones
Following the interview, the field experience coordinator reviewed the notes and examined relevant themes. The themes that emerged aligned with the INTASC standards and categories: Learner and Learning, Content Knowledge, Instructional Practice, and Professional Responsibility.
Principals reported the following strengths: • Strong ability to make connections and
build relationships with students • Innovative classroom practices for
effective instruction and student learning • Demonstrated leadership with
colleagues • Engagement in school and local
community beyond the classroom
Principals reported the following opportunities for improvement: A potential area for improvement was noted as one principal reported that one alumni was not receptive to constructive feedback and did not effectively build relationships with students. While this was not echoed in the feedback related to any of the other alumni teaching in the three schools, it points to an opportunity to review the COE quality assurance system as the weaknesses did not emerge when the teacher was a candidate in the program.
