Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP)
The School of Education at the University of Louisiana Monroe is hosting an accreditation
visit by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) on October
15-17, 2017. Interested parties are invited to submit third-party comments to the
site 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). These comments must be received by September 1, 2017.
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 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, ULM’s School of Education 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. No anonymous testimony will be considered.
