Together We've Accomplished
2021-2022: Alder’s 2021-2022 completion rate of 56% is below its historic one-year completion rate of 85%. Due to shifting credential requirements brought on by COVID-19, 71 students earned their Masters Degree but not their credential. Of those 71 students 63 were still hired as full time teachers, and once they earn their credential Alder’s two-year completion rate would rise to 84% completion for the Class of 2021-2022.
This chart includes data from all residents hired (light purple line), even those who had not yet completed at the time of hire. This may occur when a school believes that the resident will be a strong teacher or when a resident has only one remaining certification requirement (eg., RICA). We continue to support all our alumni toward 100% completion
Residents from the Lindsay USD Cohort are excluded in these hiring totals. Lindsay USD, unlike all of our other partners, intentionally seeks to bring residents, develop them in Lindsay USD and help them earn teaching roles outside of Lindsay USD. Data to date on Lindsay USD shows that 84% are hired and 38% are hired by Lindsay USD
Historically underrepresented groups in the teaching profession include people who have identified as the following: African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, or two or more races.
During the year of COVID-19 (2020-2021), EdTPA was suspended as a credential or degree requirement
The chart above compares the percentage of Alder residency graduates who are still teaching as of Fall 2022, to the percentage of their peer non-Alder teachers who were hired the same year by each TK-12 partner and are also still teaching as of Fall 2022.
Alder also asks hiring principals to assess effectiveness after one full year of teaching. 86% of those principals agree that Alder-trained teachers are effective or highly effective as a classroom teacher
