Abstract
(Feb. 28, 2020) On February 14, the State Board of Education released its annual Educator Preparation Report Card. The ETSU Clemmer College performed very well and was among a small number of institutions to earn an overall designation as “Exceeds Expectations.”
Highlights of the report include:
- ETSU performed very well in the “Employment” category that found a high percentage of recent Clemmer graduates working in Tennessee’s public schools system who are retained as teachers in their 2nd and 3rd year of teaching.
- Clemmer also performed well in “Provider Impact” that reflected on the positive influence our alumni are having on their students in Tennessee public school classrooms.
- One area where ETSU has opportunities for improvement is in diversity representation including producing graduates from high need endorsement areas. In March, the Clemmer College will host a community conversation at the Langston Centre to meet with leaders from across the region to discuss recruitment strategies for underrepresented populations and endorsement areas. Clemmer College has also received grant funding to support teachers entering STEM and special education fields and the college continues to examine its academic programs to meet teaching needs.
Congratulations to the Clemmer College for the outstanding work they do to prepare future generations of educators!
