The University of Alabama’s College of Education provides impact and outcome indicators based on the accountability measures designated by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). These measures allow the EPP to provide information to the general public about EPP program outcomes and EPP candidates’ and program completers’ impact on P-12 learning.
Below are the four CAEP measures with links that provide additional supporting evidence for the measures:
| Impact Measures | Outcome Measures |
