This document provides a summary of Educator Preparation Program (EPP) performance reporting for the February 2023 State Board of Education meeting. It notes that EPPs are required to submit annual performance reports and report cards are made available publicly. The document outlines data available on the NCDPI website, including enrollment numbers, license exam pass rates, and employer satisfaction surveys. It highlights some notable trends in the data, such as a 42% decline in new enrollments between 2021-2022. The document also examines admissions data more closely, finding declines in enrollment across most license groups and traditional routes seeing half as many new enrollments as alternate routes. It projects the impact of lower 2022 enrollment on future school year employment.

13. Putting it Together
Cohorts do not enter the profession uniformly
Decline in enrollment will have moderate
impact on the 2023-2024 school year
employment.
This impact will likely be mitigated by higher
enrollment rates during covid years
Based on our projections, lower enrollment in
2022 will have greater employment impact in
the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 academic years
