On April 26, 2021, the Fred S. Klipsch Educators College at Marian University was granted full accreditation at the initial-licensure level and advanced-level from the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) for seven years. Fred S. Klipsch Educators College (KEC) continues to demonstrate excellence in the areas of content and pedagogy, clinical experiences, selectivity, program impact, and capacity for continuous improvement. The next accreditation visit is scheduled for Fall 2027. The following table provides a list of approved and new programs at both the initial and advanced level:
| Initial Licensure Programs | Advanced Licensure Programs |
|---|---|
| Early Childhood Education (MAT, T2T) | Building Level Administration (MAEL, Licensure) |
| Elementary Education (BA, MAT, T2T) | Superintendent (Ed.D.)* |
| Secondary Education (BA, MAT, T2T) | School Counseling (MSSC)* |
| Exceptional Needs Learners P-12 (BA, MA, T2T) |
* New programs added since last CAEP review
The Education Preparation Provider (EPP) measures impact on P-12 student learning and development through the principal satisfaction survey and teacher effectiveness data provided by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE).
Due to a low response rate, data on program completers’ impact on student learning is currently unavailable. KEC is actively working to address this data gap. In Fall 2024, KEC faculty and staff members met with an external advisory board of local school leaders to gather feedback on improving our data collection process. We are working closely with school partners to identify assessment data that can be shared. Based on their feedback, the EPP will revise the data request and potentially establish new partnership agreements to increase participation. We expect to have this data available by May 2026.
INITIAL
The IDOE distributes annual employer surveys to all Indiana school corporations and schools.
Principals evaluate the quality of novice teachers who completed an Indiana educator preparation program (EPP) within the last two (2) years.
Pricipals complete the survey evaluating novice teachers by responding to statements indicating their level of performance satisfaction with the teacher’s preparation received from the EPP. The survey is separated into three domains: knowledge preparation, pedagogical preparation, and professional disposition preparation. Domains reflect criteria found in the professional standards (CAEP) and Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) standards. Results depict the principals' level of agreement regarding how well the EPP prepared them to impact the learning and development of P-12 students.

Exams were administered through Pearson assessments until August 30, 2021. On September 1, 2021, ETS PRAXIS became the new testing vendor for the state of Indiana. Exam scores are reported annually comparing Marian with the state of Indiana in the following areas: average test scores, the average number of attempts before passing, percentage of passing on their first attempt, and the number of candidates not passing/not retaking exams.
