This engaging and interactive workshop is designed for faculty, staff, and leadership teams who are new to the CAEP accreditation process or seeking a refresher. Participants will explore the five CAEP standards, gaining a clear understanding of each and how they connect to continuous improvement in educator preparation. Through practical examples, collaborative activities, and real-world scenarios, attendees will learn how to interpret evidence, align programs with standards, and contribute effectively to the accreditation process.

Post-Conference Sessions: Friday, September 18-19, 2026

• Post conference: Workshop #1: Self-Study Report (SSR) Get ready to write! This workshop is for educator preparation providers preparing to write a self-study report (SSR). Participants will be given the opportunity to walk through the process and learn the expectations for content and formatting on the SSR. The workshop will focus on areas where past SSR authors have needed the most assistance.
• Post conference: Workshop #2: Data Doesn’t Speak for Itself: Leveraging AI and Inquiry to Build Compelling Evidence Data becomes evidence only when it is valid, reliable, analyzed, and clearly described. This workshop will explore how to transform data into evidence as part of quality assurance systems, guiding program evaluations for continuous improvement and CAEP review. We will examine various methods, including the use of generative AI, for visualizing data to support arguments and facilitate inquiry. Participants will leave the workshop equipped with a range of tools and systems to enhance their planning and utilize data effectively, ultimately leading to informed and purposeful evaluations.
