Measure 7: Ability of Completers to be Hired in Education Positions for Which They
Have Been Prepared
The EPP surveys graduating seniors and recent graduates to track employment trends.
Additionally, the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) provides completers’ employment
trends for recent completers hired in public schools in Louisiana. The completers’ employment
information provided to the EPP by the Louisiana Department of Education includes
only completers employed by public schools in the state of Louisiana. It does not
include employment information for completers hired by private, parochial, or out-of-state
schools. Louisiana requirements for obtaining educator licenses for teachers include
the passage of tests of subject area content and professional knowledge. All program
completers have at least one test to pass to demonstrate their mastery of content
and professional knowledge and some licensure areas require the passage of three to
four licensure exam. The percentage of program graduates who hold a Louisiana teaching
position one year after graduation ranges from 100 percent. Eighty percent of Grambling
State University College of Education Department of Teacher Education Completers that
responded indicated that they were employed full-time teaching.
