Use of Existing Data Sources to Support Program Practices:
The Reading/Literacy program has previously captured candidates’ places of employment
with the program exit survey candidates must complete before they finish the program.
However, this data has not been a point of analysis or discussion with program faculty
or used to inform program practices.

the future, the program faculty will meet and analyze this data to learn what positions
our program candidates have, what grade levels their schools serve, and what districts
they are employed in. This information will be used to inform program practices specific
to recruitment and fieldwork requirements.
