  • Accreditation

The Indiana Wesleyan University Teacher Education Program is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), a specialized accrediting body that helps to ensure quality in educator preparation and is the top teaching education program accrediting board.

What does CAEP Accreditation Mean?

  • The IWU School of Teacher Education has undergone rigorous external review by professionals.
  • Candidate performance is thoroughly assessed throughout the program and before licensure recommendation.
  • Individual teacher preparation programs meet standards set by the teaching field at large including classroom teachers.
  • Educator accreditation is a seal of approval that assures quality in educator preparation. IWU's CAEP accreditation ensures our educator programs prepare new teachers to know their subjects, their students, and have the clinical training that allows them to enter the classroom ready to teach effectively.

What Does CAEP Accreditation Mean for Teacher Candidates?

Teacher candidates from CAEP-accredited institutions will be better prepared for new, more demanding initial licensing expectations in many states and for board certification through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Because the IWU School of Teacher Education is accredited by CAEP, and because the state of Indiana has reciprocity agreements with the other 49 states in the Union, graduates will find that the initial Indiana teaching license will transfer smoothly and with minimal additional requirements when they move out of state.

Accreditation matters to:

  • P-12 Learners – outcomes based evidence means all learners are at the center of determining effectiveness of educators
  • Teacher Educators – since the process is infused with research and development, the knowledge base of effective practice will grow.
  • State education agencies –  provides a strong partner for quality assurance, helps connect the national consensus on preparation to state-level policy and provide support for a state’s own authorization/accountability system
  • Education Professionals – rigorous standards elevate the profession

 

EPP Annual Reporting

The Educator Preparation Programs at IWU provide data for Annual Reporting Measures for both initial and advanced state licensure. These programs report annually providing information about program completers, including data regarding their impact on P-12 learning and development, teacher effectiveness, the satisfaction of completers and employers, Title II data, and other measures.
