Measure 1 (Initial): Completer Effectiveness (R4.1)

The EPP gathered completer impact data from a local elementary school for completers from our program. Data from the Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program (ACAP) in the areas of Reading (2nd and 3rd Grades), Math, English Language Arts, and Science (4th grade only) are provided below.

2024-2025 Academic Year

We also collected a sample of teacher effectiveness data from the same local elementary school. The state of Alabama uses the Alabama Teacher Observation Tool (ATOT). This observation instrument scores teachers on five dimensions and twenty-three observable expectations on a scale of (1) Not Evident, (2) Somewhat Evident, (3) Evident, and (4) Very Evident.
