Explore the CAEP/CLASS Alignment
The Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) creates standards for teacher preparation and early childhood education programs, which increasingly address the need for preparing teachers to use effective teacher-child interactions in their classrooms. With its grounding in child development theory and research, focus on effective interactions, and link to improved child outcomes, the CLASS provides teacher educators with a tool to integrate these standards into their programs.
