  5. Student loan default rates
    A cohort default rate is the percentage of a school's borrowers who enter repayment on certain Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program or William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program loans during a particular federal fiscal year (FY), October 1 to September 30, and default or meet other specified conditions prior to the end of the second following fiscal year. Please refer to the Cohort Default Rate Guide for a more in-depth description of cohort default rates and how the rates are calculated.

    The U.S. Department of Education releases official cohort default rates once per year. The FY 2014 official cohort default rates were delivered to both domestic and foreign schools on September 25, 2017, electronically via the eCDR process. All schools must enroll in eCDR to receive cohort default rate notification. Schools may check their eCDR enrollment online or by calling CPS/SAIG Technical Support at 800-330-5947. See: National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS)

  6. Survey Data
    The Feinstein School of Education and Human Development (FSEHD), Rhode Island College, is collecting data from multiple data points on our initial teacher certification program completers. The goal is to examine data as it relates to their Impact on P-12 Learning and Development and on the Indicators of Teaching Effectiveness. In the fall of 2017, FSEHD worked with recent alumni who discussed their experiences in the initial years of teaching and provided indications of areas of strength and weakness of their program(s). Concurrently, an alumni survey was developed that was shorter than previous versions but provided areas for extended feedback as well as the alumni’s perception of their students’ learning and development.

    We sent these surveys to our currently employed 2016-2017 completers (alumni) and their employers to begin the process of data collection, looking at program strengths and weaknesses as well as using the information to identify potential participants for case study work to accomplish our goals.
