NCTE/CAEP* Standards for English Language Arts

The National Council of Teachers of English is one of eight subject specific organizations with membership in the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (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 November 2012, the NCATE/CAEP Specialty Areas Studies Board (SASB) approved the new NCTE Standards. These new standards are approved for immediate use as the required standards for NCATE/CAEP program review. Teacher preparation programs are encouraged to begin implementing these standards and revising their assessments accordingly. Programs seeking NCATE/CAEP recognition may continue to submit program reports aligned to the 2003 standards until Fall 2014 at which time the new standards will become mandatory.
