Measure 1 (Initial): Completer effectiveness. (R4.1)
Completer impact in contributing to P-12 student learning growth: This measure is addressed specifically in MEES Standard 2: Student Learning, Growth, and Development. A score of 3 or above on the 0-4 scale specifies the educator “effectively demonstrates in performance” that knowledge or skill.

Completer effectiveness is also measured by the overall MEES data. Please use this link to access the most up-to-date results: MSSU APR Overall MEES Scores
Measure 2 (Initial and Advanced): Satisfaction of employers and stakeholder involvement (R4.2; R5.3; RA4.1)
Initial: After a graduate's first year of teaching, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education surveys the graduate and the graduate's principal using the First Year Educator-Administrator Surveys. Data derives from survey item 40 (Please click on the response that best reflects your perspective about the overall quality of the professional education program you completed.) on the completer survey and item 39b (Based upon the performance-based evaluation of this first-year teacher, how would you rate his/her impact upon students?) on the employer survey.
