Employers were surveyed on teachers’ knowledge and performance as aligned with State standards and the Conceptual Framework Focus Areas.
For all of the following items, the responses were:
- NOT PREPARED – The teacher did not show evidence of familiarity with this topic.
- SOMEWHAT PREPARED – The teacher had some knowledge or skill in this area, but required substantial on-the-job training to achieve the required level of proficiency.
- PREPARED BUT NOT ALIGNED – The teacher had knowledge or skill in this area, but it did not align with classroom practice and/or school needs.
- PREPARED AND ALIGNED – The teacher’s knowledge or skill in this area was closely aligned with the requirements of classroom practice and/or school needs.
N/A: The teacher did not have the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge or skill in this area, so there was no basis to judge.
The means represent scores based on a 4-point scale.
Questions 1-10 (not reported here) identify the respondent, information sources for responses, and information about the UNCG graduate such as licensure area, graduation date and hiring date.
This survey was conducted in 2014-2015 and had an n = 46.
