Educator Quality Dashboard
The University of Toledo is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). The College of Education is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
Programs seeking national CAEP accreditation are reviewed on five nationally recognized standards developed to ensure excellence. The COE renewed national CAEP accreditation for their initial teacher preparation programs and advanced programs in 2023 and will be up for review in 2030.
CAEP Accountability Measures
CAEP has annual reporting measures used to share public information on program outcomes and impact. See below for the CAEP Accountability Measures with links to documents and supporting evidence for each.

Measure 2: Satisfaction of Employers and Stakeholder Involvement
Assesses employer satisfaction with program completers' preparation and their ability to meet workforce demands.
