In an effort to check in on some of our former student, a survey was released on the CAPS Teacher Education Twitter Account @wevegotclass and the instructor’s Twitter Account @tammyfry, and on the CAPS Teacher Ed Remind and Facebook Groups.
The survey was active for only two days during which 44 CAPS Teacher Ed alumni responded. Plans are to continue to collect more expansive data.

Based on years of high school graduation, it is proposed that approximately 60% of those who responded are still students in college. This slightly slanted the results of how many of the students are actively teaching: 52.3%
86.4% of those still in college indicated that they were planning to teach and/or were currently in a teacher education program.
