Part I:Where is CAEP today?
Overview of CAEP Commission on Standards and Performance Reporting, alignments, and transition
timeline
Connect with CAEPon Twitter: @CAEPupdates
Overview of CAEP standards• CAEP Commission on Standards and
Performance Reporting • 41 Commissioners convened in May 2012• 5 working groups established:• Content and Pedagogical Knowledge• Clinical Practice and Partnerships• Quality/Selectivity of Candidates• Capacity, Quality and Continuous Improvement• Accreditation, Public Accountability, and
Transparency• Draft standards to be released for public
comment in early 2013

Current CAEP Standards
1. Candidates demonstrate knowledge…
2. Data drive decisions…3. Resources support learning…
• Harmonization of Standards and Principles
• Adopted as equivalent to predecessors
• Basis for CAEP’s accreditation decisions
Connect with CAEPon Twitter: @CAEPupdates
Alignments
• NCATE Standards and TEAC Quality Principles are aligned with the initial CAEP standards
• Final draft of new standards will be released in late 2013 with alignment tables for guidance

CAEP timeline• Non-accreditation functions are currently
– Eliminates duplication of effort– Saves time and money– Access to the Accreditation Information Management
System (AIMS): AIMS password and access to state institutions
– Information for use in program approval/renewal– Participation in professional development (PD), including
Spring CAEP Clinic, web training, and expense-only PD• Priority on stakeholder input and buy-in
– Professional dev. credit for participating teachers– Input from AACTE State Chapters

CAEP Requirements
• All EPPs seeking CAEP Accreditation must complete program review
• States will define the program review options available to institutions as part of the new CAEP State Partnership Agreement

CAEP Program Review with National Recognition
OverviewFormat: Program report forms completed for each program
area and level (i.e. Undergraduate Secondary Biology, Reading Specialist Masters, etc.) describing evidence of candidates' performance on a set of key assessments that demonstrates meeting standards
Standards: Specialty Professional Association (SPA) standards
Timing of Submission: Mid-cycle of the overall accreditation cycle (3 years in advance of the accreditation visit for most states)
Reviewers: SPA review teams trained by both the SPAs and CAEP
Results: Recognition Report with a decision of "Nationally Recognized," "Recognized with Conditions," or "Further Development Required/Recognized with Probation/Not Nationally Recognized"
Comment: This is the only option that can lead to national recognition by CAEP/SPAs

CAEP Program Review with National Recognition
Option A• Assessment 1: State Licensure Exam• Assessment 2: Additional Content Assessment• Assessment 3: Assessment of Candidates’ Ability to Plan
Instruction• Assessment 4: Assessment of Student Teaching/Internship
Performance• Assessment 5: Assessment of Candidate Impact on
for some SPAs such as the OPI for ACTFL)• Assessments 7 & 8: Optional Additional Assessments

CAEP Program Review with National Recognition
Option B: Institution-Defined Assessments• Maximum of 8 assessments• Must include state licensure exam data• Demonstrates content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge
and skills, and candidate impact on student learning• Reviewed with SPA standards
Option C: Continuing Recognition• Used by programs previously Nationally Recognized by the SPA using
Option A (in the current assessment-based system since Fall 2004)• Not an option if the SPA standards have changed since the previous
review• Reduced documentation; however, current assessment descriptions
and data (at least two administrations of each assessment) must be included
• Specific instructions on the web site should be thoroughly read before preparing an Option C report

CAEP Program Review with National Recognition
Option D: Validity & Reliability Study• Program conducts validity and reliability studies of its
assessments in lieu of other program report evidence requirements
• Must seek permission from CAEP to pursue Option D in advance
Option IL/PB: Initial Licensure/Post-Bacc• For “MAT-like” programs for secondary level licensure in all
or some of the five secondary content areas – foreign language (ACTFL), social studies (NCSS), English (NCTE), mathematics (NCTM), & science (NSTA)
• Leads to National Recognition by CAEP, not the individual SPAs
• Currently being reviewed by the five SPA Coordinators

CAEP Program Review with Feedback
OverviewFormat: Program report forms completed with links to
information found in the IB or IR documents for three clusters of programs - secondary content area programs, cross-grade programs, and other school personnel programs
Standards: State-selected standardsTiming of Submission: At the same time as the IB or IR
(roughly 8-12 months in advance of the visit)Reviewers: Review teams by cluster trained by CAEP and
including reviewers identified by the state, NEA/AFT, NBPTS, AACTE/ATE, and/or other sources
Results: Feedback useful for program improvement and determination of state program approval

State Program ReviewOverviewFormat: State-defined processStandards: State-selected standardsReviewers: State review teamResults: State decision regarding program approval Comment: The state process and standards will be reviewed
by CAEP when the state wishes to NOT include a requirement for national review. States may request a review of state standards by SPAs to determine how closely aligned the state standards are to the SPA standards. States may also apply for authorization to award national recognition as a result of the state process, in which case the standards and program review processes would be reviewed by both CAEP and the SPAs.
