Measure 3: Satisfaction of Employers and Employment Milestones

Louisiana principals complete the Employer Questionnaire.  The questionnaire collects perception data on the quality of Grambling State University completers as measured by their supervisors. The Employee Questionnaire is distributed annually to Louisiana school district principals to measure their satisfaction of the preparation of the College of Education’s teacher education graduates for their assigned responsibilities in working with P-12 students.

In the fall 2019, the EPP identified three graduates in three school districts and received three Employer Questionnaires for a return rate of 100%.  In spring 2020, the EPP identified six graduates (one graduate attending graduate school) in five school districts and received four   Employer Questionnaires for a return rate of 80%. The graduate licensure areas included Elementary, Kinesiology and Music.  Current job placement and contact information are collected via the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) webpage on completers working in Louisiana public schools.
