Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation Standards

The Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) is an organization that sets standards for colleges and universities that train teachers. Its goal is to ensure that these institutions provide high-quality education programs that effectively prepare future educators. CAEP evaluates these programs based on various criteria, including curriculum quality, faculty qualifications, and the success of graduates in the classroom. Accreditation by CAEP signals that a teacher training program meets rigorous national standards, ultimately helping to enhance the quality of education in schools across the country.
