Council for the Accreditation of Education Preparation (CAEP) Message from Camilla Benbow & Terry Holliday, Commission Co-chairs “The potential for CAEP to make a decisive impact on educator preparation has motivated the Commissioners. We eagerly are searching for appropriate ways to maximize the considerabl3 leverage that the accreditation process can create. Commissioners have identified four especially critical points of leverage for CAEP accreditation: Build partnerships and strong clinical experiences—Educator preparation providers and collaborating schools and districts bring complementary experiences that, joined together, promise far stronger preparation programs.” (CAEP Commission on Standards and Performance Reporting report, 2013)
CAEP Standard 2 CLINICAL PARTNERSHIPS AND PRACTICE 2.1 Partners co-construct mutually beneficial P-12 school and community arrangements for clinical preparation, including technology-based collaborations, and share responsibility for continuous improvement of candidate preparation. Partnerships for clinical preparation can follow a range of forms, participants and functions. They establish mutually agreeable expectations for candidate entry, preparation and exit; ensure that theory and practice are linked; maintain coherence across clinical and academic components of preparation; and share accountability for candidate outcomes.
What is the role of partnerships with preparing principals with the knowledge and skills to span systems and educate all children?
