The Richard W. Riley College of Education announces the success of its accreditation review by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). The review found that Winthrop’s educator preparation program met all initial and advanced standards with no areas for improvement cited. An essential element of our continuing efforts is work with the Winthrop University-School Partnership Network and the Olde English Consortium as we engage in our shared business of preparing educators for P-12 teaching and learning!
