CAEP ACCREDITATION 

Keene State College has held accreditation by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (“CAEP”, formerly, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, “NCATE”) since 1954.

CAEP pursues “excellence in educator preparation accreditation” as its vision, and in particular, CAEP is working with educator preparation programs across the United States to “advance equity and excellence in educator preparation through evidence-based accreditation that assures quality and supports continuous improvement to strengthen P-12 student learning.” (Source: CAEP’s Vision and Mission).

Impact Measures

Measure 1: Impact on P-12 Learning and Development

Data for Measure 1 is currently under development. We received P-12 student growth measures of our program completers at the end of March 2021. The EPP plans to make this data publicly available in July 2021.

Measure 2: Indicators of Teaching Effectiveness 

Our EPP compiled Measure 2 data in 2019-2020 CAEP Annual Report. Due to COVID-19, we are not able to observe our completers’ classroom teaching for this round of CAEP Annual Report.

Measure 3: Satisfaction of Employers and Employment Milestones

To further investigate how our completers performance in their current job positions, we conducted follow-up interviews in our Special Education program and Educational Leadership program. Our EPP will roll out employer interviews in other programs in the coming semesters.

Measure 4: Satisfaction of Completers 

We commit ourselves to the excellence of preparing our candidates to be highly qualified teachers who can have high impact on their P-12 students. We continue our completers’ satisfaction survey and focus group on an annual basis. In addition, we conduct Exit Survey with graduating students before they complete and leave our program during their student teaching. We scheduled to conduct interview with our Special Education completers in late Spring 2021 and the report will be uploaded here in June!
