CELEBRATION SUNY CORTLAND successfully submitted 24 Program Reports to the Specialized Professional Associations for National Recognition Review. Congratulations & thanks to all the folks who contributed to completing this important work.

CAEP Standards Overview The new Standards are framed to highlight new expectations in terms of teachers and do not include explicit references to education leaders or other school personnel. New focus and emphasis is on performance and outcomes rather than on resources or capacity factors.

Primary Focus In developing the new CAEP Standards the motives that have guided the Commission in their work have been “to foster innovation and rigor, to draw from research, and to create a performance-based, evidence-informed accreditation system.” Priority will be on measures of impact on student learning and development and candidate readiness to teach effectively at the completion of preparation.

By the numbers CAEP Standards Standard 1-Content and Pedagogical Knowledge Standard 2-Clinical Partnerships and Practices Standard 3 - Candidate Quality, Recruitment, and Selectivity Standard 4 - Program Impact Standard 5 - Provider Quality Assurance and Continuous Improvement NCATE Standards Standard 1- Candidate’s Knowledge, Skills and Professional Dispositions Standard 2 – Assessment System and Unit Evaluation Standard 3- Field Experiences and Clinical Practices Standard 4- Diversity Standard 5- Faculty Qualifications, performance and development Standard 6- Unit governance and resources

CAEP Standard 1: Content and Pedagogical Knowledge Candidates demonstrate an understanding of the 10 InTASC standards at the appropriate progression level(s) in the following categories: the learner and learning; content; instructional practice; and professional responsibility. Providers must: Ensure completers use research-based practices in instruction and assessment of P-12 learners. Align completer outcomes with SPA standards Ensure completers can support P-12 students to meet national standards (CCLS, NGSS, etc.) Ensure completers can use technology appropriately

CAEP Standard 2: Clinical Partnerships and Practice The provider ensures that effective partnerships and high-quality clinical practice are central to preparation so that candidates develop the knowledge, skills, and professional dispositions necessary to demonstrate positive impact on all P-12 students’ learning and development. Partnerships for Clinical Preparation: Teacher Prep and Field Partners co-construct curriculum. Clinical Educators: Teacher Prep and Field Partners co-select and evaluate clinical educators Clinical Experiences: Teacher Prep and Field Partners co- construct field experiences and assessment of candidate performance.

CAEP Standards 3 Candidate Quality, Recruitment, and Selectivity The provider demonstrates that the quality of candidates is a continuing and purposeful part of its responsibility from recruitment, at admission, through the progression of courses and clinical experiences, and to decisions that completers are prepared to teach effectively and are recommended for certification. Provider responsibilities include: Recruitment of diverse candidates who meet employment needs Establishment of standards that indicate candidates have high academic achievement and ability Establishment of additional selectivity factors (dispositions) and means of maintaining selectivity during the program and at completion.

CAEP Standard 4: Program Impact The provider demonstrates the impact of its completers on P-12 student learning and development, classroom instruction, and schools, and the satisfaction of its completers with the relevance and effectiveness of their preparation. Provider is expected to: Document that program completers contribute to an expected level of student-learning growth (via state data). Demonstrates completers effectively apply the professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions (via observations and student surveys). Demonstrate satisfaction of completers and employers.

CAEP Standard 5: Provider Quality Assurance and Continuous Improvement The provider maintains a quality assurance system using valid data from multiple measures, including evidence of candidates’ and completers’ positive impact on P-12 student learning. The provider uses the results of inquiry and data collection to establish priorities, enhance program elements, and continually improve. Providers are expected to: Employ multiple measures and methods to insure all CAEP standards are met. Ensure reliability and validity of measures used. Demonstrate continuous improvement. Ensure multiple stakeholders are aware of results and contribute to analysis.

The Big Question???? What data do we have (or would we need) to meet these standards? Divide into 5 small groups. Each group will discuss one standard and discuss what data we have and/or we would need to meet that standard.

Unit Wide Data Collection  We need to continue work on collecting unit-wide data.  dex.aspx dex.aspx  A tutorial will be developed in the next month to help folks enter data with a help session offered if needed.  Ideally, data will be entered by June 1.
