While educator preparation programs were unable to receive a formal overall rating this year due to\u00a0COVID-19 interruptions, UT maintains top-tier status among teacher and leadership preparation programs in Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2015, UT has prepared close to 800 teachers and educational leaders who have a collective impact on the lives of an estimated 40,000 Tennessee PreK\u201312 students annually. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, UT continues to train high-quality educators who are\u00a0prepared to take on the current and future challenges inherent in educating Tennessee\u2019s youth.<\/p>\n<p>According to the 2021 report card, UT stands out in several categories:<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0UT\u00a0exceeds\u00a0expectations in\u00a0assessments: 100 percent of teachers and leaders prepared by UT passed the required examinations for licensure in Tennessee (EdTPA\u00a0and Praxis School Leaders Licensure Assessment).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u2022 In the classroom, over 90 percent of teacher graduates received ratings of level 3 (at expectations) to 5 (significantly above expectations) on the Teacher Effectiveness Observation Scale, which measures teacher performance through components that include classroom observation scores and growth shown by students on standardized tests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u2022 UT exceeds expectations in employment of graduates: Tennessee public schools employ 78 percent of UT graduates in their first year, and over 90 percent of those teachers continue in the public school system the following year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u2022\u00a088 percent of teachers prepared by the university continue to teach in Tennessee public schools for at least three years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Over 35 percent of\u00a0UT\u2019s\u00a0education graduates\u2014above the state average\u2014receive endorsements in high-demand subject areas\u00a0such as math and science, special education, world language, and English as an additional language.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u2022 Over 95 percent of those who completed UT\u2019s preparation program in the past three years said they agree or strongly agree that it prepared them for the teaching profession.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cehhs.utk.edu\/people\/david-cihak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David\u00a0Cihak<\/a>, associate dean of\u00a0UT\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cehhs.utk.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences<\/a> and\u00a0director of its\u00a0Bailey Graduate School\u00a0of Education,\u00a0said,\u00a0\u201cThe Bailey Graduate School of Education\u2019s educator preparation programs offer multiple pathways into the teaching and educational leadership professions, including online options that allow learners statewide to earn the credentials needed to teach and lead in Tennessee and nationwide.
