CAEP Standards (will be voted on by CAEP Commission ‐ verdict should be revealed by January 2015)
Standard 1, PCK

Able to use discipline‐specific practices flexibly to advance the learning of all students toward
attainment of CCR. *diversity, technology, CCR (critical thinking, problem solving and self
directed learning), validity evidence, inter‐rater reliability for measures used, evidence students
making data driven decisions for instructional decision making, candidate outputs (what is it
that candidates are able to “get” their students to do?) WE MAKE THE CASE…
Standard 2, Clinical Partnerships
 Effective partnerships and high‐quality clinical practice.*Candidate level: analysis of student
work, how would you change your pedagogical approach in response to this?; reflections; IHE
level: joint sharing of curricular development (i.e., clinical faculty, school admin., college faculty,
placement directors)
Standard 3, Candidate Quality, Recruitment, Selectivity
 Quality of candidates ‐ at admission & through the progression of courses and clinical
experiences. Focus on recruitment. Diversity. Non‐cog measures. Case Studies.

How do we know this? What actions have we taken? How do we plan to evaluate the efficacy of
those approaches?
Fun things to think about
 The emphasis on CCR (e.g., critical thinking, problem solving and self directed learning).
 Providing evidence that our students are adapting their pedagogical techniques in accord with
valid sources of data.
 Candidate outputs (what is it that candidates are able to “get” their students to do?) Candidate

to this? Have you reflected upon this in a substantive manner?
