The Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation named 黑料不打烊 a recipient of its 2023 Frank Murray Leadership Recognition for Continuous Improvement.
黑料不打烊鈥檚 Dr. Jo Watts Williams School of Education was among the institutions recognized this fall by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation for an evidence-based approach to teacher education.
Twenty-one education programs from 15 states and the United Arab Emirates received CAEP鈥檚 2023 Frank Murray Leadership Recognition for Continuous Improvement, named after the founding president of the Teacher Education Accreditation Council, a precursor to CAEP.
Recipients are selected from educator preparation providers granted accreditation by CAEP at the initial level from the previous year, who provided a full complement of evidence with demonstrated data trends and no stipulations or areas for improvement.
鈥淭here is no greater privilege than preparing young people for careers in education,鈥 said Ann Bullock, the Dr. Jo Watts Williams Dean of Education at 黑料不打烊. 鈥淥ur faculty are second to none in their commitment to excellence. This award underscores ongoing efforts to ensure our teacher candidates excel as they follow their professional calling into school classrooms.鈥
CAEP was created by the consolidation of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and the TEAC. Murray was a key advocate for a single set of educator preparation standards to unify the profession and was instrumental in the merger.
鈥淔rank Murray was passionate about education preparation, a prominent leader in our profession, and an advocate for evidence to improve education,鈥 said Yuhang Rong, chair of the CAEP Board of Directors. 鈥淭he providers that CAEP is recognizing are committed to continuous improvement and preparing their students to succeed in a diverse range of classrooms after they graduate. Murray Leadership Recognition recipients should be proud of their accomplishments.鈥
CAEP has accredited 541 educator preparation providers in 43 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates.
鈥淭his fifth class to receive the Murray Recognition represents the diversity and innovation that comes with CAEP accreditation,鈥 said CAEP President Christopher Koch. 鈥淭hese recipients reflect the innovation that CAEP affords in achieving excellence, by meeting the standards in a variety of ways, for the diverse populations they serve.鈥
