Program Data

The program continually reviews data and feedback about candidate experiences in the program as well as the quality and impact the teachers we produce.  This information is compiled annually in an assessment report available upon request.  A summary is available here:

  • 100% of principals surveyed agree that PLU first year teachers meet or exceed their expectations
  • Over 98% first time pass rate on the edTPA
  • Over 97% employment rate for 2017 completers.
