Educator Preparation
EPP Accreditation
The Missouri State Board of Education voted to accredit all 42 Missouri Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) for the 2024-25 Academic Year. The State Board’s decision is recognition of the commitment that faculty and staff in those institutions have to the children of Missouri. DESE’s recommendation that all EPPs be accredited was based upon data generated by the Annual Performance Reports for Educator Preparation Programs (APR-EPP). More information about the APR-EPP can be found here.
Educator Preparation Literacy Efforts
The Educator Preparation Section of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and Educator Preparation Providers (EPP) across the state have worked to ensure that Educator Preparation in Missouri is aligned with DESE’s Read, Lead, Exceed Project. Check out their work here.
