CAEP makes sure that educator programs prepare new teachers to know their subjects, their students, and have the clinical training that allows them to enter the classroom ready to teach effectively. In addition, CAEP accreditation provides that allows educator preparation programs to continually self-assess and conduct evidence-based analysis of their programs and their efficacy. CAEP accreditation assures quality and supports continuous improvement to strengthen K-12 student learning in the educator preparation program.
