At the age of 22, John Brown becomes president of Scarritt Collegiate Institute in Neosho, Missouri. Although limited in formal education, and the youngest college president in the nation, he is recognized as a brilliant administrator and scholar. He eventually returns to his previous careers in evangelism and publishing, but he begins to dream of building a school that will encompass a threefold education of young people, focused on head, heart and hand.

Each year EPPs report enrollment, race, ethnicity and gender of their students in educator preparation programs to HEA Title II. Data from the 2013 HEA Title II report is presented below. These are the number of students in each initial licensure program in 2011-12. Note that individuals can belong to one or more racial groups, so the sum of the members of each racial category may not necessarily add up to the total number of students enrolled. For purposes of Title II reporting, the definition of an enrolled student is a student who has been admitted to a teacher preparation program, but who has not yet completed the program.

Educator Preparation Program (EPP) – a unit authorized to prepare individuals to meet state licensure requirements. This unit may be housed within a university’s college of education, or it may be non-IHE based. Educator preparation providers are institutions and organizations that offer teacher preparation programs. Educator preparation providers can be Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) offering traditional programs (Traditional route to licensure) , IHEs offering alternative programs (Non-traditional Route to licensure), or organizations not based at IHEs offering alternative programs. Educator preparation programs are the individual programs offered within each provider.
HEA Title II (also known as Title II of the Higher Education Act of 1965) - In October 1998 Congress reauthorized the Higher
Education Act. Title II, Sections 207 and 208 reflect the efforts of States, Institutions of Higher Education (IHE), and their school district partners to improve the recruitment, preparation, and support of new teachers. The HEA Title II report includes requirements, conditions and specifications for institutions and states related to teacher preparation and licensure.
IHE – Institution of Higher Education. Also referred to as a college or university. Non-traditional Route to licensure – a graduate-level preparation program designed for individuals seeking licensure as a teacher
who did not complete an undergraduate educator preparation program but which, under the Arkansas Department of Education rules for nontraditional licensure, allows them to serve as teacher of record while enrolled in a program of study.
Pedagogy - the function or work of a teacher; teaching; the art or science of teaching; education; instructional methods. Praxis licensure exams - examinations taken by individuals entering the teaching profession as part of the licensure process that

completers include all those who are documented as having met such requirements. Documentation may take the form of a degree, institutional certificate, program credential, transcript or other written proof of having met the program’s requirements.
Supervised clinical experience – pre-service teaching (student teaching) or internship in a school setting that provides
candidates with extensive opportunities to develop and demonstrate competence in the professional roles for which they are preparing; completed under the guidance and supervision of licensed practicing school personnel and college or university supervisory personnel.

preparation programs. Educator preparation providers can be Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) offering traditional programs (traditional route to licensure), IHEs offering alternative programs (nontraditional route to licensure), or organizations not based at IHEs offering alternative programs. Educator preparation ‘programs’ are those individual tracks offered under the auspices of each provider.

VIII. Glossary Educator Preparation Provider (EPP) – EPPs are institutions or organizations that offer teacher preparation programs. EPPs can be
Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) offering traditional programs (traditional route to licensure), IHEs offering alternative programs (nontraditional route to licensure), or organizations not based at IHEs offering alternative programs. Educator preparation ‘programs’ are those individual tracks that prepare for specific licenses. These are offered under the auspices of each provider.
HEA Title II (Title II of the Higher Education Act of 1965) - Title II of the Higher Education Act (Sections 207 and 208) reflect the
efforts of States, IHEs, and school districts to improve the recruitment, preparation, and support of new teachers. The HEA Title II Report includes requirements, conditions, and specifications for institutions and states related to teacher preparation and licensure.
IHE – Institution of Higher Education; college or university.
Nontraditional route to licensure – a post-baccalaureate preparation program designed for individuals seeking licensure as a
teacher whose degree is not in educator preparation. Under the Arkansas Department of Education rules for nontraditional licensure, this is a program that allows them to serve as teacher of record while enrolled in a program of study.
Pedagogy - the art or science of teaching; education; instructional methods.
Praxis® licensure tests – examinations offered by ETS® taken by individuals entering the teaching profession (required by many
states, including Arkansas) as part of the licensure process. Passing scores are required on the appropriate basic skills, pedagogy, and content-area assessments as mandated by the State Board of Education.
Program completer - a person who has met all the requirements of a state-approved educator preparation program. Program
completers include all those who are documented as having met such requirements. Documentation may take the form of a degree, institutional certificate, program credential, transcript or other written proof of having met the program’s requirements.
Traditional route to licensure – an undergraduate or graduate program of study at an IHE that prepares candidates for licensure as a
teacher, special education teacher, school counselor, school administrator, or other school professional. These programs include a supervised clinical experience but the students do not serve as teacher of record while enrolled in the program of study.
