1. National and State Standards for CAEP-Accredited Programs
The faculty within the UA College of Education have collectivelyĀ mappedĀ the following national and stateĀ standards: Alabama Core TeachingĀ StandardsĀ (ACTS), Council for the Accreditation of Educator PreparationĀ StandardsĀ (CAEP), Interstate New Teaching Assessment and Support ConsortiumĀ StandardsĀ (InTASC), National Board Professional TeachingĀ StandardsĀ (NBPTS), and the InternationalĀ StandardsĀ for Technology in Education (ISTE).
These standards apply to the College of Education teacher certification/educator programs and are listed below. They are followed by the courses that observe these mapped standards. Throughout your courses, you should expect these standards to be addressed. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the standards because they will provide clear and measurable goals that will inform instruction and measure achievement for the course and program completion. These standards may be addressed in various experiences during the course, and you may use them in assessments that indicate your mastery of the standards.
