Executive Summary

The Educator Accountability Reporting System (EARS) is required by New Mexico statute and examines the teacher

preparation programs of the research universities, comprehensive universities and colleges, community colleges, and the

private universities and colleges across the state. This specific report targets the 2013–2014 academic year which includes

the summer of 2013.

The New Mexico American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (NMAACTE) was formed to aggregate the data

and connect public post-secondary teacher and administrator preparation programs with operative solutions to effective

educator preparation, as well as offering a network of support for the deans and directors of those programs by gathering

and reporting the data in this annual report. The EARS is designed to provide a portrait of the effective preparation of

educators (teachers, counselors, and administrators) in New Mexico.

The New Mexico 2014 EARS report provides an integrated framework for guiding the effective preparation of educators

throughout this state.

According to Dr. Wai-Ying Chow, “The Effective Teachers and Effective Teaching (Effective Teachers) topic supports

research on strategies for improving the performance of classroom teachers in ways that promote student learning and

academic achievement in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and—for English Learners—English language proficiency,

from kindergarten through high school.

Through this topic, the Institute is interested in identifying and understanding: 1) the specific knowledge and skills a K–12

teacher must possess to promote student learning, 2) the most effective approaches to assess teacher knowledge and

skills, 3) the most effective strategies for teachers to gain the necessary knowledge and skills, and 4) the most effective

programs and policies for teacher recruitment, retention, certification, and evaluation that lead to the promotion of student

learning.

The long-term outcome of this research will be an array of instructional practices, programs (e.g., professional development

interventions), assessments, and policies (e.g., recruitment, retention, and teacher evaluation) that have been demonstrated

to be effective for improving and assessing teaching and teachers in ways that are linked to improvement in student

achievement.”1

Introduction

As required by state statute, the New Mexico Public Education Department (PED) must report annually using the Educator

Accountability Reporting System (EARS) which measures how well the public post-secondary teacher and administrator

preparation programs are performing their duties to develop effective educators (teachers, counselors, and administrators)

in the state of New Mexico. New Mexico American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (NMAACTE) was formed

by the deans and directors of the teacher preparation programs in New Mexico to gather and report this annual data.

The statute requires that the data from EARS is logged into the PED department's student teacher accountability reporting

system (STARS). The data process in STARS is being restructured to deliver the most meaningful and succinct report that

includes every statutory requirement.

The EARS report will also help education institutions improve their practices with regard to the following: 1) Preparing highly effective educators 2) Connecting curriculum and learning experiences to the needs of schools 3) Hiring terminally-degreed faculty who have public school experience 4) Remaining active in service and research in the PreK–20 culture2

In the late 1880’s—when New Mexico was still a territory, public and private four-year institutions were preparing teachers. Since 2003, New Mexico community colleges have partnered with the four-year institutions to support teacher preparation. In order to ensure effective educator preparation programs, all institutions must maintain a competency-driven, national, standards-based curriculum through joint New Mexico-NCATE accreditations or through the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) partnership with the PED.3 The intent of this report is to fulfill the following:

Meet the EARS statutory requirement

Connect to PreK–12 PED data to reinforce a seamless PreK–20 reporting system4

Honor the different missions of community colleges, comprehensive institutions, and research institutions5

Include all initial (including alternative) and advanced licensure programs6

When available, each annual EARS report will encompass data from the previous summer, fall, and spring.7

By following the design outline provided in statute, this version of the 2014 EARS encompasses a portion of data that has

not previously been collected by the public post-secondary teacher and administrator preparation programs. The institutions

cited are committed to providing the most current and accurate data available.

Statute

This section describes the laws and rules that apply to EARS in relevant part as follows:

22-10A-19.2. Educator accountability report.

A. The department shall:

(1) design a uniform statewide educator accountability reporting system to measure and track teacher and administrator

education candidates from pre-entry to post-graduation in order to benchmark the productivity and accountability of New

Mexico's educator work force; provided that the system shall be designed in collaboration with:

(a) all public post-secondary teacher and administrator preparation programs in New Mexico, including those

programs that issue alternative or provisional licenses;

(b) the teacher and administrator preparation programs' respective public post-secondary educational institutions;

and

(c) the higher education department;

(2) require all public post-secondary teacher and administrator preparation programs to submit the data required for the

uniform statewide educator accountability reporting system through the department's student teacher accountability reporting

system;

(3) use the uniform statewide educator accountability reporting system, in conjunction with the department's student teacher

education accountability reporting system, to assess the status of the state's efforts to establish and maintain a seamless pre-

kindergarten through post-graduate system of education;

(4) adopt the format for reporting the outcome measures of each teacher and administrator preparation program in the state;

and

(5) issue an annual statewide educator accountability report.

B. The annual educator accountability report format shall be clear, concise and understandable to the legislature and

the general public. All annual program and statewide accountability reports shall ensure that the privacy of individual students

is protected.

C. Each teacher and administrator preparation program's annual educator accountability report shall include the

demographic characteristics of the students and the following indicators of program success:

(1) the standards for entering and exiting the program;

Statutory Report Detailed Requirements

This report follows the detail requested by statute and listed on the previous two pages. Each element listed in the statute

will be followed by a complete response providing the most comprehensive data available from the New Mexico research

universities, comprehensive universities and colleges, community colleges, and private universities and colleges designated

to participate in EARS.

C. Teacher and Administrator Preparation Program's Annual Educator

Accountability

"We need to take the lead in recruiting and training teacher candidates. Let's start by giving them the best preparation anyone could imagine on the front end, before they ever set foot in a classroom. Students need and deserve our best efforts and our best educators.”

Dennis Van Roekel President National Education Association

"Research has shown that teachers are the most important school-based factor in determining student achievement. Comprehensive teacher effectiveness reform must include bringing accountability to teacher preparation. Ultimately, colleges of education should be reviewed the same way we propose evaluating teachers-based primarily on student learning. We applaud the Administration for taking an important step in advancing these reforms, collecting better outcome data, and supporting state reforms."

Chiefs for Change

"Our Future, Our Teachers makes clear that the ability to teach is something to learn, and therefore to be taught. This report puts the focus where it should be: beginning teachers' readiness to practice independently. Setting performance requirements for responsible teaching is one of the most important improvements that the U.S. could make to ensure learning by all students. Clear standards for what teachers should be able to do when they enter the classroom would shift the focus away from arguments over who should prepare teachers and how to select program entrants and toward beginning teachers' actual instructional skills.”

Deborah Loewenberg Ball Dean, School of Education University of Michigan at Ann Arbor

"The quality of the nation's new teacher pipeline has a tremendous impact on the overall quality of education that our students receive. The U.S. Department of Education's insistence that states truly hold teacher preparation programs accountable will make it harder for weak programs to escape scrutiny. By investing in selective programs that take care to recruit minority teacher candidates and train them in effective methods of instruction, particularly in reading, the Department will establish a strong model for other programs to emulate. And by awarding fellowships to high achievers, the country will recruit the talent into the classroom our students deserve. “

Kate Walsh President National Council on Teacher Quality

“Understanding the influence of teaching training programs on student learning is an important first step toward creating a system which supports ambitious teaching and learning for our nation's youth. The U.S. Department of Education is right to demand states use multiple measures to assess teacher training program quality, and I welcome the administration's support of emerging tools like new teacher performance assessments that can be used to support deep program improvement in teacher education."

Tom Stritikus Dean, College of Education University of Washington

Student Teacher Placement. Student placement of a prospective teacher in a school is a cooperative decision between the prospective student

teacher, university personnel, and school district officials. Students must keep in mind that they are guests in the schools and that school officials may

terminate their field experience at any time. A school official does not have to demonstrate a cause or provide a justification for termination of the field

experience. In addition, NMHU has no obligation to provide another placement for the student. The university supervisor and the director/coordinator of

field experiences decide on appropriate action for that semester. In the case of a withdrawal, the university has no further obligation to provide the

student teacher with the opportunity to complete the field experience sequence. The student is required to reapply and, if approved, accept the

conditions determined by the School of Education. Any practicum or field-based 1, 2, or 3 student /intern may be terminated or removed from his/her

experiences for any violation of the Code of Ethics of the Education Profession (NM State Board of Education Regulation No. 93-16).

Selection of Cooperating Teachers. The cooperating teachers for the field experience sequence are suggested by student teachers or selected by the

Field 3 Director /Coordinator, selected or assigned by district administrators, and approved by the School of Education. (MOUs are signed with

participating school districts.)

The cooperating teacher should be one who: Has a minimum of three years classroom experience, holding at least a Level II state of New Mexico

teaching license; Has shown consistent success in teaching; Receives the professional respect of colleagues ;Manifests an interest in the advancement

of the teaching profession through a willingness to assist in the preparation of prospective teachers; Has a sincere interest and desire to guide the pre-

service teacher to a successful completion of his /her field experience; Has a thorough knowledge of his/her teaching field(s) and is experienced in using

a variety of teaching methods; Is a lifelong learner, endeavoring always to improve his/her own competency: knows how to work effectively with

prospective teachers in the classroom and is able to train the pre-service teacher.

Western NM NA

Foundation: Complete field experience request, submitting background clearance/fingerprinting and travel request form. The information is then

submitted to the School Districts and a tentative schedule is developed providing students’ observation experiences across the K-12 system.

Students complete observations, totaling 24 hours, with a minimum of 5 different placements.

Application: Complete field experience request, requesting specific sites if applicable and submitting travel request form. The information is then

submitted to the School Districts and a tentative placement is made in coordination between the director of field experience and the district/school

administration. Students must contact the principal and the principal will assign the student to a specific teacher. Students complete two

placements of 60 field hours each, totaling 120 years. During each field placement that student is to teach a minimum of 3 lessons and working to

support the teacher in the classroom. Co-teaching opportunities are encouraged.

Capstone: Complete practice teaching request, requesting specific sites if applicable and submitting travel request form, resume, Why Teach

response, and transcripts (GPA above 2.75). The Director of Field Experience meets with superintendents to secure a placement. The student is

to contact the clinical faculty member assigned to them before the end of the previous semester. The student is to work in the classroom for 17

weeks, totaling 680 hours. For a minimum of 4 works the student is to be the lead in the classroom. Practice Teachers are to work as a co-

teacher during the entire experience, limiting observation time and spending the majority of the time actually working with students.

Community Colleges—Alternative Licensure

Central NM CC NA

While in the program, students complete field-based assignments and observations in the schools. Placements are found through program contacts with school districts, CNM faculty, and the Director of Education Programs. The majorities of our students are already teaching on an Intern license as a teacher of record and use their classroom as a placement site. Supervised Field Experience In the final course, Supervised Field Experience (SFE), students are either teachers of record teaching in their own classroom or are placed in a classroom with a cooperating teacher. Students are placed with a cooperating teacher approved by the school administrator with a minimum of a Level II license, more than 5 years of teaching experience, and licensed in the same content area as the student. Students are only placed in a classroom if they are qualified to teach the content area through coursework (more than 24 credits) and passing the NMTA Content Exam. Students are only eligible to participate in SFE with a program GPA of 3.5 and completion of the NMTA Basic Skills and Content exams.

Placement Process: The Campus College Chair or the Lead Faculty Area Chair secures student teaching applications from students. After students complete their application, they are required to interview with the Campus College Chair to discuss placements. The Campus College Chair works with the students to determine the best placement for the students. Students are encouraged to student teach in the grade level they would like to teach and they are encouraged to apply to diverse schools. The Campus College Chair uses that information to meet with the K–12 campus administrators to discuss placement; email confirmations are sent to the students notifying them of the campus, grade level, CT and FS assignments. The first step in the placement process is approval by the school principal of the placement and verification of an Affiliation Agreement/MOU with the school or district and verification of the cooperating teachers’ teaching credentials. Candidates are approved for student teaching eligibility by reviewing compliance measures via e-portfolio. Student teachers must have completed 100 hours of observation, passed their fingerprint/background clearance, and have passing scores on the Essential Academic Skills (Subtests I, II, and III) and Elementary Education (Subtests I and II) before they may begin their student teaching.

University of the SW Link →

The program placement for the University of the Southwest is as follows:

1. Apply to the Teacher Education Program for intern teaching and be accepted.

2. Must have a 2.5 GPA overall and a 3.0 GPA in their teaching field.

3. Must have taken the appropriate assessments for teaching license.

4. Once eligible, the Teacher Education Coordinator will contact the schools HR for the student to be placed in a highly qualified licensed

teacher’s classroom for his/her student teaching.

Wayland Baptist Brief → The majority of students complete the program with an Intern License while teaching in their own classrooms. They continue to teach after graduation. The undergraduate students are generally hired by the school or school district where student teaching was completed. We provide support as needed.

Trends

“2015 Trends to Watch: Higher Education—Summary

Catalyst The higher education industry continues to change at an accelerating rate, making it difficult to predict what the outcome will be when the dust settles. But as technology markets evolve, the sector understands that it cannot afford to stand still. Therefore, although institutions are making incremental changes to support immediate needs, they are also readying their operations to make transformative changes to realize more return from IT investments and support business innovation. In this report, we outline the changes in the market and explore which trends will have the biggest impact in 2015. This analysis is important for both vendors targeting higher education and institutions to ensure that they understand the key forces that will shape the education landscape in 2015. A growing number of institutions are looking to increase efficiency and student satisfaction as higher education budgets continue to be strained and the market continues to be unpredictable…The business trends to watch in 2015 will be the expansion of delivery models for teaching and learning, progress with student experience strategies, and the improved use of IT for the benefit of the institutional mission. Change in higher education is incremental, and although these trends will not take firm hold for some time, 2015 will be the year of conversation about readying for change. Key messages

The conversation about changing delivery models for teaching and learning will continue. The student experience will take center stage. A more serious discussion on sustainable IT delivery models will begin.

Recommendations for institutions Invest in the quality of online learning programs With vendors making major investments to support online learning, and mobile device usage increasing, institutions would benefit from investing in the quality of their online learning programs. Institutions should invest in tools and solutions that will support more innovative pedagogy and assessment. They often have insufficient information to evaluate what goes on in their courses, which could affect future enrollment. Therefore, it is important that all online courses undergo an extensive approval process before they are made available. Use customer experience (CX) strategies to keep students satisfied and improve services Institutions will place a renewed focus on meeting student expectations. Over the past year, the US for-profit market has suffered a decline in enrollment, and many institutions have closed. As costs increase and students are offered more options, institutions are under pressure to improve the effectiveness of their recruitment and retention efforts, and will therefore place a renewed focus on meeting student expectations. Some would argue that higher education has focused less on good customer service and more on the final outcome of producing educated students: if a student fulfills all of their course requirements, the institution will award them a diploma in recognition of their accomplishment. Institutions are now more concerned about bonding the student to the institution through more personalized service, to help them progress through their studies more efficiently and increase their chances of completing their program in a timely manner. Building a strong connection between the student and the institution will increase institutions’ profitability because it is likely to increase retention.”8

Conclusion

“In the next 10 years, 1.6 million new teachers will be needed to take the place of teachers who will retire. Many of these educators will pass through traditional teacher preparation programs. While there are many good teacher education programs in this country, far too many of the programs that prepare our teachers are inadequate. Improving these programs is essential to ensuring our nation's students receive the education they deserve.”9 The development and advancement of New Mexico educators are created by and carried through the culture formed within our teacher preparation institutions. This culture shapes a specific set of ideas, practices, customs, and beliefs that together cultivate and nurture our future New Mexican educators and determines their effectiveness in educating our students. The annual EARS report assists New Mexico education institutions in reviewing their practices with regard to the following: 1) Preparing highly effective educators 2) Connecting curriculum and learning experiences to the needs of schools 3) Hiring terminally-degreed faculty who have public school experience 4) Remaining active in service and research in the PreK–20 culture10
