Preoperational Recognition

Preoperational Recognition of Capacity for New Programs

AAQEP partners with state program authorizers to conduct preoperational capacity reviews of proposed educator preparation programs based on the AAQEP standards. The intent of such reviews is to determine whether a prospective provider has the capacity to prepare educators well.

These reviews are designed and carried out in partnership with the state authorizer and are conducted using the AAQEP standards as a framework.
