Designated Agency Data Guide

Title II

Title II reporting is an annual collection facilitated by the federal government. Like DADC, program leaders share information on participants in their educator preparation programs, including PII. Additionally, the Title II collection includes an opportunity to share program details, goals, and progress toward goals each year.  Goals focus on priorities identified by the federal government.  Historically, goals have focused on special education, English language learners, educational technology, and other topics.  Both designated agencies and traditional preparation programs must participate in Title II.  

Note that the Title II collection reporting lags by a year.  For instance, if it is the fall of 2025, program leaders will be reporting on participants from the 23-24 school year.

The Title II collection takes place in two parts and is facilitated by two different vendors:

Part I: ETS Participant Data

Part I of the Title II collection happens in the fall.  During Part I, program leaders submit any program participants in their program to ETS.  This allows ETS to connect program participants and their related Praxis scores to their specific preparation program.  Part I data is also shared with the Part II vendor to streamline entering participants into the system. Details on ETS Title II reporting services can be found here. Part I typically opens in September of each year and closes on November 1.  There’s also an opportunity to resolve any conflicts or data errors in February when Part II reporting opens.  The login for Title II Part I can be found here. Emails about the Part I collection will come from an address with @ets.org (usually Title2@ets.org).

Part II: Program Report Card

Part II of the Title II collection happens in the spring.  During Part II, program leaders verify their participant data that is transferred from ETS to Trewon (the vendor for Part II).  They also certify their current program structures and goals, as outlined by the federal government. The part II collection opens in February and must be submitted by April 30. CDE reviews the data in May of each year, which is then used in the state report card published by Title II. Details on program reports cards and state report cards can be found here. The login for Title II Part II can be found here.  Emails about the Part II collection will come from an address with @trewon.com (usually title2@trewon.com).

TEACH Colorado

The final annual data collection is for programs who participate in TEACH Colorado, which includes most programs. This is a collection managed by TEACH Colorado to measure the impact of TEACH services on program recruitment and participation.  For simplicity, the TEACH collection has been streamlined to match the DADC collection as much as possible.  The TEACH collection is open in September of each year for the prior year’s data. Emails about the TEACH data collection will come from an address with @teachcolorado.org or directly from CDE.

Note that every educator preparation program must designate a contact person for both DADC and Title II.  These contacts receive information for each collection and should be updated annually through the Educator Preparation team at CDE, educator_preparation@cde.state.co.us

The Educator Talent division at CDE uses the data reported in DADC and SURDS to create the Educator Preparation Program Report Dashboard. This interactive dashboard combines data from these collections with data in the annual HR collection, the staff evaluation snapshot, and Title II Praxis collection in order to create comprehensive reporting on new educator preparation, performance, and retention in Colorado.  The visual below shows how these collections are used.
