Abstract	The crux of this project involved creating an accreditation handbook for the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) accreditation process for the Educator Preparation Program (EPP) at Morehead State University (MSU). CAEP is a nationally recognized accrediting body that reviews and ensures quality in teacher education programs. The EPP at MSU has received accreditation for many years, including the latest from CAEP in 2019. Often, faculty and staff feel underprepared and without appropriate resources to fully participate in the accreditation process. Indeed, inaccurate information regarding course activities used in various aspects of the accreditation process are the only resource available. With the increase in employment turnover, changes in processes and requirements, along with the employment of adjunct faculty and lecturers, it is difficult to ensure everyone has the necessary, updated accreditation information (Danley-Scott & Scott, 2017; Scott & Danley-Scott, 2015; Zubrow, 2012). A review of the literature was conducted to understand the many facets of accreditation. This literature review took a deep examination of accreditation, analyzed new developments with assessments and program evaluations, investigated faculty's thoughts, feelings and concerns about accreditation, and searched for possible improvements to the process (Danley-Scott & Scott, 2017; Hogan et al., 2017; Scott & Danley-Scott, 2015; Zubrow, 2012). The researcher used the existing aggregate of information to develop a CAEP accreditation handbook for the EPP at MSU. This handbook provides policies and procedures, as well as background information to make the accreditation process more familiar and manageable. CAEP standards for initial programs are encompassed in the handbook. In addition, lists of key assessment and field experience courses, guides and instructions for course and associated assessments, along with data and reporting information make up the content of the handbook. The handbook provides a more comprehensive picture of accreditation and how each component fits within the process. An online version will be available on the Volgenau College of Education webpage, https://moreheadstate.edu/academics/colleges/education/. There will also be an option for a printed format, available to those that request it. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
