The Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) is a national accrediting body for teacher preparation programs. CAEP’s mission is to advance excellence in educator preparation through evidence-based accreditation that assures quality and supports continuous improvement in the effectiveness of preparation to strengthen P-12 student learning. CAEP was formed in 2010 when two of the previous national accreditation bodies, NCATE and TEAC, consolidated and was formally recognized by CHEA (Council for Higher Education Accreditation) in 2014.
