CAEP Self-Study Report, Step 1: Understanding the Assignment

Let's write your CAEP Self-Study Report together, one step at a time! Welcome to the first episode of Katie's CAEP Corner! I've guided my own EPP through a successful CAEP review, serve as a CAEP reviewer, and am rebuilding our Self-Study Report for the next accreditation cycle. I'm inviting you to work alongside me through the CAEP accreditation process. In this episode, we'll explore the CAEP Revised 2022 Standards Workbook, discuss how to approach writing your report, and take our first look at Component R1.1: The Learner and Learning. We'll also start digging into one of the biggest challenges of accreditation: figuring out what evidence you actually need and how to use it to tell your EPP's story. 📌 TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Introduction & Welcome to the Series 4:09 Series Goal & Approach (One Step a Day) 4:58 Accessing the CAEP Website & Workbook 6:35 Core Self-Study Steps & Timeline 8:35 Initial Licensure Prep: Standard 1 vs. Standard 5 11:06 Standard R1: Content & Pedagogical Knowledge (Component R1.1) 13:55 Guiding Questions for Component R1.1 16:13 How to "Describe the Evidence" (Channeling Captain Obvious) 17:50 Identifying Program Key Assessments 22:45 Today's Homework & What's Next 📝 YOUR HOMEWORK Identify your EPP's program-level key assessments!
