The Professional Education Unit (PEU) is the primary coordinating body for all of CMU’s teacher preparation and continuing education programs which are distributed across six colleges and involve 21 departments/schools and five interdisciplinary councils. The EPP consists of more than 250 professional education faculty members, the Center for Clinical Experiences, the Director of Educator Preparation, the dean of the College of Education and Human Services, and the dean or dean’s designee of each involved college. The work of the EPP is supported by the Center for Student Services housed in the College of Education and Human Services. The EPP offers 20 graduate programs at the master’s, specialist, and doctoral levels, and 26 areas of specialized study at the undergraduate level. CMU has been a leader in teacher education programs since it was founded in 1892 and graduates more than 300 teacher candidates annually.
UNDERGRADUATE
Impact on P-12 Learning and Development for Teacher Candidates
The graphs below represents the average achievement growth of P-12 Students in classrooms taught by CMU graduates. The scores were obtained from the administration of the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA): Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment completed by school districts assessing student learning in reading and mathematics. The score of the NWEA: MAP relates directly to the curriculum scale in each subject area and ranges from about 100 to 300. Students typically start at the 180 to 200 level in the third grade and progress to the 220-260 level by high school. The scores provided by the NWEA: MAP make it possible to follow a student's educational growth from year to year. It is important to note that it is typical to see the average achievement growth rate decrease as a student enters advanced grade levels requiring higher levels of learning.
The average achievement growth rate for 2016-2017 for each grade level is statistically significant indicating that CMU graduates have a positive impact on P-12 student learning.
