COMPLETER IMPACT IN CONTRIBUTING TO P-12 STUDENT LEARNING GROWTH
Formative Field Experience Evaluation
The purpose of the formative field experience evaluations is to observe the teacher candidates’ ability to teach in the classroom. The classroom observations and feedback are provided to the Student Teacher throughout the student teaching experience from the Cooperating Teacher and the University Supervisor. In alignment with the Michigan Core Teaching Practices and the Danielson Framework, the Formative Field Experience Evaluations completed during AY 2023-2024 shows that teacher candidates at the University of Michigan-Flint are positively impacting student learning and growth in the P-12 classroom.

The Michigan Department of Education’s (MDE) Educator Preparation Institution (EPI) Annual Performance Report
For the 2025 reporting year, the MDE uses the following calculation: Eligible teachers for this calculation are those who (1) earned their initial certification received within the last five years, (2) have no more than 3 years of teaching, and (3) have an effectiveness rating in the most recent academic year. Within this population, the number of effective and highly effective ratings are summed for the most recent year, and this total is divided by the total number of eligible ratings during this time frame. Each individual is only counted once in the annual rating. The data for this calculation is a part of the data provided to EPIs in February each year.
