The Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP) has awarded full seven-year accreditation to the initial educator licensure programs at Campbell University.
The AAQEP Accreditation Commission’s action affirms that the program — housed under Campbell’s School of Education & Human Sciences — meets all four AAQEP standards for completer performance and program practice.
“AAQEP accreditation for Campbell University’s Educator Preparation Program distinguishes the program as one of quality which trains teachers according to rigorous standards,” said Dr. Chris Godwin, assistant dean for the School of Education & Human Sciences, in a press release. “It also demonstrates recognition of the continuous improvements the program continues and will continue to make as it aligns with research best practices proven to compliment the skills of effective educators.”
According to the AAQEP, national accreditation assures the quality of professional preparation programs through a nongovernmental, nonregulatory process of self-study and peer review. This standards- and evidence-based process serves two broad aims: accountability and continuous improvement. The AAQEP model is also designed to honor local context and foster innovation and collaboration among institutions. AAQEP currently has members in 37 states and other jurisdictions with over 190 educator preparation providers participating in the accreditation system.
“I am very proud of the work done by the faculty and staff in our Professional Educational department to achieve this full accreditation,” said Dean Dr. Alfred Bryant in a press release. “It speaks to the high quality of our teacher education programs and the level of teachers being educated by our programs.”
To wrap up the first day, attendees were able to meet up for a social event at the Brad Halling American Whiskey Ko. in Southern Pines where a $10,000 check was presented to the Joint Special Operations Foundation for their scholarship fund. Photo pr
