Preoperational Recognition Policy

AAQEP will conduct, at the request of a state authority responsible for authorizing or approving educator preparation programs, capacity reviews of entities that are seeking approval for new programs in the relevant state or jurisdiction. Such reviews will be conducted prior to the operation of the program in cases where the state authorizer desires such a third-party review as part of its program approval decision. Such reviews will be designed and conducted in partnership with the state authorizer and will be conducted using the AAQEP standards as the framework.
