As part of our commitment to continuous improvement and accountability, the School of Education is inviting public comment regarding its programs and accreditation process.  Accreditation serves as an important mechanism for ensuring program quality, candidate success, and alignment with professional standards. Through this call for public comment, we welcome feedback from stakeholders including current students, completers, faculty, P-12 partners, employers, Lehman colleagues, and community members, regarding the effectiveness of our programs and the impact of our graduates.  Input received will help inform our ongoing self-study as we prepare for an accreditation review through the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP). We encourage all interested parties to share their perspectives and contribute to the advancement of educator preparation excellence.
