Phase II Sept 2014 Jun 2015 Oct 2015 Dec 2014April 2015 Phase I Phase III CAEP Site Visit – Feb 28 – Mar 1 CAEP Self-study Report Due – Oct 1st  Formed a leadership team  Developed the standards alignment matrix (CAEP, In-TASC, ISTE, MDE and CLeaR)  Compiled the inventory of available evidence and Data  Mapped all the existing evidences with standards  Identified the gaps in addressing the CAEP standards and areas for improvement

What Comprises DATA?

 Discussions on system of quality assurance and the participation of Professional Education committees (PECC, PEAC, PESAR, CPPC and PEEB) in preparation for CAEP. Phase II Sept 2014 Jun 2015 Oct 2015 Dec 2014April 2015 Phase I Phase III CAEP Site Visit – Feb 28 – Mar 1 CAEP Self-study Report Due – Oct 1st More than one committee provides input to each standards; Each committee provides input to multiple standards

Ad-hoc committees for knowledge fusion (a.k.a work groups) 1.Selectivity 2.Clinical Experience 3.PEU Common Assessment Tools 4.Teaching Effectiveness and Program Impact 5.PEU Quality Assurance System  All these committees were tasked to review and recommend plans and processes in moving forward with meeting CAEP expectations. In order to complete the tasks, committees were provided with:  Detailed overview of the respective CAEP standards and evidence guide  Relevant data and research literatures  SWOT analysis on the existing practice at CMU  Proposed plans Phase II Sept 2014 Jun 2015 Oct 2015 Dec 2014April 2015 Phase I Phase III CAEP Site Visit – Feb 28 – Mar 1 CAEP Self-study Report Due – Oct 1st

Phase II Sept 2014 Jun 2015 Oct 2015 Dec 2014April 2015 Phase I Phase III CAEP Site Visit – Feb 28 – Mar 1 CAEP Self-study Report Due – Oct 1st Taskstream® Student Performance Evaluation System successfully Implemented. Components of CAEP Standard-5 can be addressed with this implementation. Extensive data mining – Quantitative and qualitative data collected from admissions to after program completion Teacher Education Common Assessment Tools Aligned with new National Standards Case Study Development for Program Impact - to evaluate program completer’s effectiveness and impact on P-12 learning to address Standard 4

Inquiry Brief (IB) Pathway CAEP’s Inquiry Brief Pathway emphasizes study of candidate and completer outcomes. It is inquiry-driven, starting from the provider’s questions about the programs’ mission and results. Through the IB process, the provider documents that all 2013 CAEP Standards have been met. – CAEP Accreditation Handbook (2016) Structure of IB Pathway – provider selecting the Inquiry Brief Pathway for its self study would submit a self-study report investigating the provider’s claims. The report addresses Standards 1, 4, and data quality expectations for Standard 5, and an Internal Audit Report that provides evidence that the EPP meets Standards 2 and 3 and continuous improvement expectations for Standard 5.

What we learned… IB format gives EPPs an opportunity to showcase their programs Claims are typically designed to address CAEP Std. 1 –IB format is not necessarily conducive to addressing all standards within the current structure –We developed claims to encompass all CAEP standards Tagging –the CAEP standards must be tagged throughout the self-study document Self-study documents were to be submitted to CAEP –AIMS shell will be updated in near future to allow for direct submission It is never too early to start writing the IB self-study
