The Division of Education at Queens
College, City University of New York (CUNY) is hosting an accreditation visit by
the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) on November 4,
2018. Interested parties are invited to submit third-party comments to the site
team. Please note that comments must address substantive matters related to the
quality of professional education programs offered and should specify the
party's relationship to the provider (i.e., graduate, present or former faculty
member, employer of graduates).
We invite you to submit written testimony
to:
CAEP
1140 19th Street NW, Suite
400
Washington, DC 20036
Or by email to:
callforcomments@caepnet.org
Such comments must be within the specified period and
based on the core tenets of CAEP accreditation standards of excellence, which
recognize that:
• In CAEP's performance-based system, accreditation
is based on evidence that demonstrates that teacher candidates know the subject
matter and can teach it effectively so that students learn. In the CAEP system,
EPPs must prove that candidates can connect theory to practice and be effective
in an actual P-12 classroom.
• A professional education provider that is
accredited by CAEP is expected to be involved in ongoing planning and
evaluation; engaged in continuous assessment and development; ensure that
faculty and programs reflect new knowledge, practice, and technologies; and be
involved in continuous development in response to the evolving world of
education and educational reform.
• Comments must address substantive
matters related to the quality of professional education programs offered, and
should specify the respondent's relationship, if any, to the institution (i.e.,
graduate, present or former faculty member, employer of graduates). Copies of
all correspondence received will be sent to the university for comment prior to
the review. No anonymous testimony will be considered.
