Data portal

The Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB) uses a variety of data to inform policy decisions and assess initiative success. PESB also reviews and evaluates the effectiveness of educator preparation programs (EPP), licensure, certificate and educator workforce policies. These data originate from sources such as licensure and certificate programs, from sister state agencies such as Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), as well as directly from the test vendors. Our partners and stakeholders can use these data points to help inform and support their own work. Other data is also available on our strategic plan page and district workforce data page.

How do I use the data?

In addition to PESB’s use of the data for its work, many partners and stakeholders, including EPPs, education researchers, professional organizations, media, legislative staff, and elected officials, look to PESB to provide insight and responses to questions related to educator preparation and workforce in Washington State. PESB wants to provide the most valuable and most accurate data possible. To do that, we collaborate closely with data contributors to make sure that the answers to your questions can be clearly displayed and understood. We rely on user feedback to review, revise, and update these pages on a regular basis.

Why could this data look different than other data?

There are a variety of data sources that could be used, and depending on which one is used (or in combination), there may be variance in reported numbers. The caveats and methodology section of each data display include its data source and the analytic choices made that could impact the numbers PESB reports.

We hope that you explore these pages and that the data fosters additional questions and feedback. Please send all comments, feedback, or questions to pesb@k12.wa.us.

Race-ethnicity of teacher preparation program completers and K-12 students

K-12 students are more diverse than the educator workforce and completers of teacher preparation programs. The biggest representation gap between teacher preparation program completers and K-12 student composition is Hispanic / Latino of any race. In 2018-2019, this gap was 16.8% (23.6% of K-12 students were Hispanic / Latino and  6.8% of alternative route completers were Hispanic / Latino). To close this gap, teacher preparation program completers will need to be at least as diverse as the K-12 student population, if not more.

Teacher candidate edTPA assessment pass rate and average score

The edTPA is a performance assessment that teacher candidates must pass prior to becoming a certified teacher. Passing the edTPA is one way PESB knows if teacher candidates have been prepared with the skills necessary to serve K-12 students well. In 2017 the edTPA passing score was increased. In 2018-19 data collection moved to the Education Research and Data Center (ERDC). In 2020 PESB began a multiple measures pilot allowing teacher candidates to demonstrate alternative evidence of effective performance.

In 2018-19 data collection moved to the Education Research and Data Center (ERDC) In December 2020, PESB implemented a policy allowing for case by case exceptions (doc) to the content knowledge assessment requirement.

Gender of teacher preparation program completers and K-12 students

The majority of teacher preparation program completers and the educator workforce are women. In 2018-2019, 22.08% of the educator workforce was male. To close this representation gap, teacher preparation program completers will need to be more proportionally male and gender X (non-binary and other gender choices). Data collection around non-binary and other genders is still very new and is likely not representative. [Read more…] about Gender of teacher preparation program completers and K-12 students
