The Exit Survey serves as a baseline data-point in a test-retest model, as teacher candidates complete the Exit Survey prior to earning their initial certification and becoming a classroom teacher. TEA then surveys those first-year teachers at the end of their first academic year in the classroom to further reflect on their updated sense of how well the EPP prepared them for the first year of teaching. In our next blog post, we will explore results from the TEA&#8217;s New Teacher Survey to see whether the high-level of confidence teacher candidates expressed in the Exit Survey is consistent with their perceptions after a year in the\u00a0 public school classroom.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-65aa7e3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"65aa7e3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3db5b3b\" data-id=\"3db5b3b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evaluating Educator Preparation Programs: Candidate Exit Survey Data We are continuing our data series on public school teachers in Texas.
