Rockhurst Education Students Earn Top-Tier Status
When it comes to preparing for careers, students in the 射精视频 education department are among the top of the class in the state.

Those evaluations weigh factors such as how well students in those programs perform on content area certification assessments and content GPAs. The new report is part of a multi-year effort by the state agency to capture data and measure how prepared teachers are before they step into the classroom.

English grades 9-12, and social science grades 9-12 both had large enough sample sizes to assess students both in the areas of certification assessment pass rates and GPAs in the content area of their certification. And both areas scored in the first tier 鈥斅爐hose programs that earn between 90 and 100 percent of possible points 鈥斅爁or those criteria, earning the top possible scores where eligible.

Content area GPAs are not measured by the state for the APR at the elementary education level.
