The College of Education has two major,
nationally recognized accrediting bodies for their programs—the Council for the
Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) and the Council for Accreditation
of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). The Educator
Preparation Provider at Governors State University consists of all programs
which prepare candidates for licensure as teachers, administrators, or other
school personnel. Although these programs are located primarily in the College
of Education, there are six programs located in other colleges throughout the
university (i.e., secondary Biology, Chemistry, English, and Mathematics
programs in the College of Arts and Sciences; and the Master’s level program in
Communication Disorders- Speech Pathology and School Social Work, located in
the College of Health Professions). The head of the Educator Preparation
Provider is the Dean of the College of Education. The Division of Psychology and Counseling offers two
degrees accredited by CACREP. The masters degree has specializations in
clinical mental health counseling, marital/couple/family counseling, and school
counseling. The doctoral degree is in Counselor Education and Supervision.

The Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation
(CAEP), the accrediting body for Governors State University’s Education
Preparation Provider Unit (EPPU), requires EPPUs to disseminate information on
the Eight Annual Reporting Measures annually to the public, prospective teacher
candidates, policy makers, and the media to provide information on both program
outcome and program impact. The CAEP measures with links to supporting evidence
for each of these eight measure are as follows:
-
I. Impact on Student Learning
+
Impact
on Student Learning - is an opportunity for providers, the state, and the
candidates themselves, to examine their effect on P-12 student growth. For
initial candidates, Impact on Student Learning is measured through the Illinois
State Board of Education / Partnership for Educator Preparation ISBE/PEP Impact
on Student Learning Data. The demonstrated teaching skills and impact on K-12
students report visualizes the performance evaluations of candidates who have
completed a program at the institution and employed in an Illinois, public
school. The advanced candidates’ Impact
on Student Learning is measured through the Principal Preparation School Improvement
Plan, which includes the development of a strategic plan. It is aligned to
identify areas of need. The percentage of teachers prepared by GSU that meet a minimum of proficiency level is presented in the tables below.
