51ÁÔÆæ/CAEP* Standards for English Language Arts

The 51ÁÔÆæ Council of Teachers of English is one of thirteen subject specific organizations with membership in the  (CAEP), the professional accrediting agency for teacher preparation. Institutions seeking CAEP accreditation must meet carefully developed specific conditions. One of those conditions is program approval.

In July 2021, the 51ÁÔÆæ Executive Committee approved new 51ÁÔÆæ Standards for the Initial Preparation of Teachers of English Language Arts 7–12 (Initial Licensure). These standards are approved for immediate use as the required standards for CAEP program review. Teacher preparation programs are encouraged to begin implementing these standards and revising their assessments accordingly. Programs seeking CAEP recognition may continue to submit program reports aligned to the 2012 standards until Fall 2023 at which time the new standards will become mandatory.
