Educator Preparation collaborates with colleges of education and teacher education programs to ensure that candidates have the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to achieve state certification and become effective educators. The Educator Preparation Provider (EPP) does this by assisting with accreditation and program approval processes at the state and national levels. The EPP is also responsible for complying with federal reporting requirements mandated by Title II of the Higher Education Opportunity Act.
