Teacher Education

The Adrian College Teacher Education Program is granted Accreditation by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) for a period of seven years, from October 2019 to December 2026. This accreditation certifies that the forenamed professional education program has provided evidence that the program adheres to CAEP’s quality principles.

The Teacher Education Department at Adrian College is hosting an accreditation visit by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) on April 13-15th. Interested parties are invited to submit third-party comments to the evaluation team. Please note that comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of professional education programs offered, and should specify the party’s relationship to the provider (i.e., graduate, present or former faculty member, employer of graduates).

We invite you to submit written testimony to:
CAEP
