UToledo invites you to comment...

CAEP is the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation. CAEP is responsible for the oversight on accredited programs and ensures the proper educator standards are fully implemented for its accredited licensure programs. CAEP accreditation is widely considered as the top educator-specific accreditation in the nation.

The Judith Herb College of Education at the University of Toledo is hosting an accreditation visit by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) on April 16-18, 2023. Interested parties are invited to submit third-party comments to the evaluation team. Please note that comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of professional education programs offered and should specify the party's relationship to the provider (i.e., graduate, present or former faculty member, employer of graduates).

We invite you to submit written testimony to:

CAEP
1140 19th Street NW, Suite 400
Washington, DC 20036
Or by email to: callforcomments@caepnet.org

Such comments must be within the specified period and based on the core tenets of CAEP accreditation standards of excellence, which recognize that:

In CAEP's performance-based system, accreditation is based on evidence that demonstrates that teacher candidates know the subject matter and can teach it effectively so that students learn. In the CAEP system, EPPs must prove that candidates can connect theory to practice and be effective in an actual P-12 classroom.
A professional education provider that is accredited by CAEP is expected to be involved in ongoing planning and evaluation; engaged in continuous assessment and development; ensure that faculty and programs reflect new knowledge, practice, and technologies; and be involved in continuous development in response to the evolving world of education and educational reform.
Comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of professional education programs offered, and should specify the respondent's relationship, if any, to the institution (i.e., graduate, present or former faculty member, employer of graduates). Copies of all correspondence received will be sent to the university for comment prior to the review.

Letters of comment should be received no later than March 5, 2023.

CAEP Annual Reporting Measures

The Annual Reporting Measures include eight measures that demonstrate impact around student learning, teacher effectiveness, employer and completer satisfaction. The measures also include specific outcomes such as graduation, licensure, employment, and student loan default rate.
