The Implications of the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation Policy Standards on Teacher Education Research, Policy, and Practices

Session Type: Invited Session

Abstract

During this open meeting of the Policy Initiatives Committee, panelists will address the recently released CAEP standards (January, 2014) and their influence and impact on teacher preparation and research. This session will be constructed as an interactive dialogue between policy leaders in teacher education and participants. Building upon the extant research on teacher education policy analysis, the session will address the complexities, activities, and interactions among and between policy initiators, implementers and interpreters of teacher education policy at national, state, and institutional levels while engaging with the audience. Attendance is open to those interested in or directly involved in the development, implementation, or investigation of state and national policy initiatives related to teaching and teacher education
