Introduction: Teacher Graduate Assessment
Project Overview
The Teacher Graduate Assessment project is an assessment of teachers in their first year of
teaching directly following graduation from one of the twelve public colleges of education in the
state of Illinois. For the 2015 assessment, two private colleges—Roosevelt University and
Loyola University Chicago—participated in the assessment. The project is a cooperative effort
of the Illinois Association of Deans of Public Colleges of Education (IADPCE)
By surveying first-year teachers and their supervisors, information is generated that can be used
for teacher education program improvement and that is responsive to broader state education
needs. Specifically, the project aims to:
1. Provide a standardized assessment of new teacher graduates of all public colleges in Illinois.
2. Provide a specific examination of teacher skills related to the Illinois Professional Teaching Standards and the Illinois Learning Standards for the purpose of identifying
areas of improvement for teacher preparation programs and for ongoing new teacher
professional development needs.
3. Provide institutions with institution-specific data on student learning in teacher education programs that will assist with program improvement efforts.
4. Proactively respond to calls for accountability related to teacher preparation by gathering information that can inform policy makers and the public about teacher preparation
programs in Illinois and new teacher practice in the first year of teaching.
In March 2004, an advisory committee named by the project partners was created to oversee the
development of survey instruments, administration protocol, and data reporting. This advisory
committee has continued to meet in order to review each year’s survey results and to modify the
survey as needed. The process for survey development and modification is guided by project
staff operating under the direction of the Dean of the College of Education and Professional
Studies at Eastern Illinois University.
Illinois State Board of Education, Teacher Data Warehouse, which combines college institutional
graduation data with the State of Illinois’s Employment Information System Record database to
identify the survey population. Identified graduates and their supervisors (typically, school
principals) are surveyed each spring as they near completion of their first full year of teaching.
Survey results are reported relative to the degree that new teachers from colleges of education in
Illinois are prepared to address the Illinois Professional Teaching Standards and the Illinois
Learning Standards. First-year teachers also provide open-ended, written feedback about key
teacher preparation program elements. Reporting takes the form of institution-specific and state
aggregate data reports.

The success of this project rests not just in the ability to collect valid data on new teachers, but
also in the ability of the partners to use data to improve teacher education in Illinois. The
creation of an ongoing assessment project produces reliable data for program improvement and
state policy consideration and is an important step in the ongoing P-16 collaboration efforts in
Illinois.
Project History
The assessment of new teacher graduates from colleges of education in Illinois is housed at
Eastern Illinois University and is conducted under the guidance of the deans of the public
colleges of education and an advisory committee made up of the deans’ designees. The project
started in March 2004 with the financial support of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, the
Illinois State Board of Education, and the twelve participating public institutions of higher
education: Chicago State University, Eastern Illinois University, Governors State University,
Illinois State University, Northeastern Illinois University, Northern Illinois University, Southern
Illinois University-Carbondale, Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, University of Illinois
at Chicago, University of Illinois at Springfield, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and
Western Illinois University. For the 2015 assessment, two private institutions—Roosevelt
University and Loyola University Chicago —participated in and financially supported the
project.
The assessment effort has been created with the primary purpose of providing information that
can help facilitate program improvement at each participating institution. The secondary
purpose is to be responsive to calls for educational accountability while facilitating information
gathering for the purpose of making informed judgments about programs. The primary
assessment questions examined in project development to date include:
1. How are teacher education programs performing in the preparation of students related to understanding and using key educational standards in Illinois?
2. What is the usefulness or value of instructional, pre-student teaching, and student teaching experiences from the perspective of recent graduates?
The survey instrument has evolved in response to the program improvement purpose of the
evaluation and the guidance of the key assessment questions. The survey development process
has involved input by project partners via group meetings and e-mail communications. In May
2004, nineteen individuals representing thirteen project partners met in Champaign, IL to kick
off the project. The outcome of this first gathering was an initial survey draft that addressed key
content areas. Survey drafts were modified through the rest of 2004 until a first project version
was established for a pilot administration in January 2005. Following the pilot administration,
minor modifications to survey instruments were completed and in March 2005, the first
administration of the survey was completed with graduates from the twelve public colleges of
education. The current version of the survey instruments is a result of revisions to the survey
following the 2005 and 2006 administrations.

Survey Administration Method
Survey administration for the 2015 Teacher Graduate Assessment began during the week of
September 26, 2016, when invitation letters were mailed to the 2013-2014 teacher education
graduates of the fourteen participating institutions. Invitation letters were also mailed to the
supervising principals of these new teachers. Reminder flyers were mailed to participants during
the weeks of October 10, October 24, and November 1, 2016. Collection of survey responses
through the project’s website ended on November 4, 2016.
Although all flyers and packets were sent from the project office at Eastern Illinois University,
each piece of correspondence was customized to the graduating institution of each identified new
teacher. For example, a teacher who had graduated from Northern Illinois University would
receive a participation invitation printed on NIU letterhead.
