Dr. Mark LaCelle-Peterson—Leading Equity and Effectiveness in Educator Preparation through Accreditation (Part 2 of 2)

Our guest, Dr. Mark LaCelle-Peterson, is a founding team member and President of the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP).   Mark addresses the founding of AAQEP, responding to a demand for greater flexibility and innovation in education accreditation and an examination of quality in context.   A cornerstone of AAQEP’s focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is anchored in a standard requiring education preparation programs to work with P-12 schools most in need, as well as the expectation that completers of AAQEP accredited programs are prepared to support “all learners.”   Mark explains how, through collaboration with stakeholders, AAQEP champions consequential validity, shaping the work of educator preparation programs are achieving desired outcomes of quality.   Your Host: Jacob Easley II, PhD, PMP   Resources: Equity Now: Justice, Repair, and Belonging in Schools (Book) by Tyrone Howard Reclaiming Accountability in Teacher Education (Book) by Marilyn Cochran-Smith EDUP Accreditation Insights The EDUP Experience Education Deans for Justice and Equity   The Sponsors: The 2.0 Conferences Xcelerated Excellence Consulting   EDUP Xcelerated Excellence Community Mentionings: Dr. Christine Dawson, Siena College Dr. Joe Lubig, Associate Dean, Northern Michigan University
