Accreditation
The University of South Florida College of Education is proud to be nationally accredited
by NCATE (National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education). In 2013 NCATE
became the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). Accreditation
reviews take place every seven years. Accreditation is a voluntary process designed
to ensure high-quality practices through a rigorous evaluation process consisting
of self-evaluation, on-site accreditation evaluators and ongoing assessment.
In the fall of 2020, the College of Education on USF's Tampa campus underwent a continuing
accreditation review by CAEP. The final accreditation decision will be made in the
spring of 2021.
These programs in the College of Education, which prepare teachers and other P-12 school professionals,
were reviewed by CAEP in the fall of 2020, and were accredited by NCATE in 2013. These
programs are also approved by the Florida Department of Education.
to confer state licensure/endorsement.
Additionally, the School Psychology Program is accredited by the American Psychological
Association Committee on Accreditation, and is recognized by the National Association
of School Psychologists.
CAEP requires that accredited institutions provide data on pass rates on professional
exams, graduation rates, employment, teaching effectiveness and satisfaction surveys.
The following 2018-19 data sets are compiled from Florida Department of Education Annual
Program Performance Reports (APPRs) for each licensure program which include data
on employment, retention, measures of teaching effectiveness (Value Added Modeling
or “VAM”) and teacher evaluations for our graduates, as well as satisfaction surveys
conducted by the College of Education of our alumni and employers of our graduates.
These data reflect programs on the Tampa campus only. Following the fall 2020 consolidation
of USF's three campuses into “One USF,” data in the future will be aggregated to reflect
College of Education programs offered on all three campuses and will be posted when
available.
