CAEP is the sole nationally-recognized accrediting body for educator preparation.听 Institutions seeking accreditation must pass peer review on five standards, which are based on two principles: (1) Solid evidence that the provider鈥檚 graduates are competent and caring educators, and (2) Solid evidence that the provider鈥檚 educator staff have the capacity to create a culture of evidence and use it to maintain and enhance the quality of the professional programs they offer.

鈥淭hese providers meet high standards so that their students receive an education that prepares them to succeed in a diverse range of classrooms after they graduate,鈥 said CAEP President Dr. Christopher A. Koch. 鈥淪eeking CAEP Accreditation is a significant commitment on the part of an educator preparation provider.鈥
