• CAEP no longer offers the optional early assessment review due to the potential conflict of interest posed by this service.  In lieu of the early review, please use the CAEP Evaluation Framework for EPP-Created Assessments. The utility of educator preparation provider (EPP) data used for continuous improvement of candidates and providers, as well as evidence in the accreditation process, is important to CAEP. Quality assessments are critical to these purposes. Therefore, we strongly encourage EPPs to conduct reviews of their assessments and to employ experts – either internally or within the education field – as needed.
