CAEP Annual Reporting Measures
The accrediting body of the Teacher Education Unit at Minot State University, CAEP (the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation), requires Education Preparation Providers to disseminate information annually to the public, prospective teacher candidates, policymakers, the media, and CAEP. This information falls into two broad categories: 1. Program Impact (the performance of completers once employed), 2. Program Outcome and Consumer Information (yardsticks that states and policymakers will find useful).
Minot State University offers two pathways to initial teacher licensure (a stand-alone license which permits a teacher candidate to gain employment in a P-12 school) with the state of North Dakota. First, we offer B.S.Ed. undergraduate degrees in a variety of programs (mathematics, English, special education, and early childhood education, to name a few). We also offer an M.S. in Special Education, which can lead to initial licensure. The categories below are labeled either "Undergraduate" or "Graduate" to indicate which degree level the presented data represents.

The Special Education Master of Science program does not currently collect this information. All EPPs in the state of North Dakota have adopted three common metrics to assess satisfaction of employers and of completers; however, these metrics were designed for B.S.Ed. completers only. Research indicated it is not feasible to adapt this tool for advanced programs. The SPED MS program faculty are currently developing an in-house survey tool for validation and reliability testing prior to implementation in Fall 2021.
