CAEP Accountability Measures

Impact on P12 Learning and Development

The data below shows the Mississippi Academic Assessment Program (MAAP) results for grades 3 through 8 as well as the end of course assessments for Algebra I, US History, Biology I, and English II. The chart shows the scores of all Mississippi students; the scores of students prepared by all teachers graduating from Mississippi teacher education programs; and the scores of students prepared by teachers graduating from William Carey University.

The 2021 report provided below contains limited data due to the U.S. Department of Education waiver of statewide assessment, accountability, and reporting requirements for the Mississippi Department of Education during the 2019-20 school year as a result of COVID-19. However, the 2022 report contains complete MAAP data for both the traditional and alternate route programs.

Impact on P12 Learning and Development

Data is provided to demonstrate how WCU uses multiple measures to determine teacher effectiveness in both undergraduate and graduate level initial licensure programs. Data is provided for the statewide proprietary assessment, the Teacher Intern Assessment Instrument (TIAI), which is administered at the end of the teacher education program. The TIAI measures candidates’ abilities in five domains: planning and preparation, assessment, instruction, learning environment, and professional responsibilities.
