Friday Memo 2/26/16

Rather than posting weekly events within the division, I am posting the CAEP standards below and ask that you read and become familiar with the standards. The CAEP and DESE team visit will take place in February 2018. Our self-study is due in May 2017. Dr. Alicia Noddings and Dr. Tonia Crane will be the co-chairs for our accreditation.

Mark your calendar now for Thursday, May 5th for an all-day CAEP retreat meeting. All full-time faculty will be expected to attend and adjunct faculty are welcome. More details about this meeting will be forthcoming.

Council for the Accreditation of Education Preparation (CAEP) Standards

Standard 1: CONTENT AND PEDAGOGICAL KNOWLEDGE
The provider ensures that candidates develop a deep understanding of the critical concepts and principles of their discipline and, by completion, are able to use discipline‐specific practices flexibly to advance the learning of all students toward attainment of college‐ and career‐readiness standards.

Standard 2: CLINICAL PARTNERSHIPS AND PRACTICE   
The provider ensures that effective partnerships and high‐quality clinical practice are central to preparation so that candidates develop the knowledge, skills, and professional dispositions necessary to demonstrate positive impact on all P‐12 students’ learning and development.

Standard 3: CANDIDATE QUALITY, RECRUITMENT, AND SELECTIVITY 
The provider demonstrates that the quality of candidates is a continuing and purposeful part of its responsibility from recruitment, at admission, through the progression of courses and clinical experiences, and to decisions that completers are prepared to teach effectively and are recommended for certification. The provider demonstrates that development of candidate quality is the goal of educator preparation in all phases of the program. This process is ultimately determined by a program’s meeting of Standard 4.

Standard 4: PROGRAM IMPACT 
The provider demonstrates the impact of its completers on P‐12 student learning and development, classroom instruction, and schools, and the satisfaction of its completers with the relevance and effectiveness of their preparation.

Standard 5: PROVIDER QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT 
The provider maintains a quality assurance system comprised of valid data from multiple measures, including evidence of candidates’ and completers’ positive impact on P‐12 student learning and development. The provider supports continuous improvement that is sustained and evidence‐based, and that evaluates the effectiveness of its completers. The provider uses the results of inquiry and data collection to establish priorities, enhance program elements and capacity, and test innovations to improve completers’ impact on P‐12 student learning and development.
