*For CAEP-accredited programs only
In accordance with our accreditation agency, Council for the Accreditation of Education Preparation (CAEP), the following information is provided on this website.
1. National and State Standards for CAEP-Accredited Programs
The faculty within the College of Education have collectively mapped the following national and state standards: Alabama Core Teaching Standards (ACTS), Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation Standards (CAEP), Interstate New Teaching Assessment and Support Consortium Standards (InTASC), National Board Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS), and the International Standards 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.
