TITLE II REPORT CARD
Title II of the Higher Education Act requires three annual reports on the quality of teacher preparation. Schools of education are to report to states the pass rates of their graduates on state certification assessments and other program data in April. States in turn are required to report to the U.S. Department of Education information on certification and licensure requirements, pass rates on state assessments disaggregated and ranked by institution, and other information in October. The required reports due in October of each year.
These state reports include information on:
- State certification and license requirements for completers of traditional and alternative teacher preparation programs
- Statewide pass rates on state assessments of completers of teacher preparation programs
- Information on teacher standards and their alignment with student standards
- Criteria for identifying low-performing schools of education
- Number of students enrolled in teacher preparation programs by gender, race, and ethnicity
- Total number of teachers completing teacher preparation programs and receiving initial credentials
- Number of teachers prepared by credential area, academic major, and subject area

Educator Accountability Reporting System (EARS)
As required by state statue, the New Mexico Public Education Department (PED) must report annually using the Educator Accountability Reporting System (EARS). The College of Education submits data annually to PED to measure and track teacher and administrator candidates from entry to completion of degree programs.
The data process in STARS is being restructured to deliver the most meaningful and succinct report that includes every statutory requirement. The EARS report will also help education institutions improve their practices with regard to the following: 1) Preparing highly effective educators 2) Connecting curriculum and learning experiences to the needs of schools 3) Hiring terminally-degreed faculty who have public school experience 4) Remaining active in service and research in the PreK–20 culture 1 In the late 1880's–when New Mexico was still a territory, public and private four-year institutions were preparing teachers. Since 2003, New Mexico community colleges have partnered with the four-year institutions to support teacher preparation. In order to ensure effective educator preparation programs, all institutions must maintain a competency-driven, national, standards-based curriculum through joint New Mexico-NCATE accreditations or through the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) partnership with the PED. 2 The intent of this report is to fulfill the following:
- Meet the EARS statutory requirement
- Connect to PreK–12 PED data to reinforce a seamless PreK–20 reporting system 3
- Honor the different missions of community colleges, comprehensive institutions, and research institutions.
- Include all initial (including alternative) and advanced licensure programs 5
- When available, each annual EARS report will encompass data from the previous summer, fall, and spring.
