[SHOW FAQs]
[How is RI employment data reported?] RI employment data is reported at the LEA level. All LEAs are expected to maintain live and accurate personnel assignment information. The Office of Educator Quality monitors LEA reporting and utilizes that data for federal reporting requirements and to ensure certified educators are serving in valid assignments.
[What are the criteria for hiring and retention in Rhode Island?] LEAs establish their own hiring and retention criteria.
[How are we defining 1st hired?] 1st hired counts the total number of program completers hired by an LEA using the certificate that the provider reported that individual earning.
[How are we defining retained?] Retained is defined as in-state retention (which does not necessarily mean the completer stayed within the same school or district). Retention totals include 15-16 program completers working in an assignment that matches their 15-16 program completion certificate area.
For example, a 15-16 program completer that worked as an elementary educator in 16-17 and 17-18 would be considered retained in the 17-18 school year.
[How are we defining “RI Newly Hired”?] RI Newly Hired totals include only educators that have no reported work experience in RI public schools prior to the indicated school year. The RI Newly Hired data for this index also excludes this providers’ completers. RI Newly Hired data is included to provide a general picture of hiring in RI.
