(d) Annual Report. Each Oklahoma educator preparation unit shall submit an annual report to the OEQA. This report will satisfy the requirements for the CEQA, State Regents for Higher Education, State Department of Education, and CAEP/AACTE.
Note that Oklahoma Administrative Code 218:10-5-4 was updated in July 2026. New reporting requirements are outlined below.
As your team reflects on the following topics, provide data and examples from the 2025-2026 academic year to support your responses. The purpose of this report is for the EPP to articulate current practices and progress in implementing the six topics. Please provide concise summaries for each section. Some topics may not apply to your institution, so you may indicate not applicable.
(1) Progress made in addressing the stipulations/areas for improvement, if any, identified by the most recent site review by the site accreditation review team. When the CEQA has determined that an education unit is not making progress toward the removal of the area for improvement on a state requirement, the institution will be notified that the unit is required to submit a plan and timeline for addressing the areas for improvement. If at the end of six (6) months the CEQA determines the education unit has not submitted sufficient data documenting adequate progress toward the removal of the areas of improvement, a state-level Target Review will be warranted within 18 months. After such Target Review the CEQA will have the option of granting continuing accreditation or revoking accreditation. This progress will be annually reviewed by the OEQA.
(2) Program changes being implemented for OEQA and CAEP continued accreditation;
(3) Report on professional development activities of faculty;
(4) Report on the number of hours each faculty member taught or were in direct contact with students in public schools;
(5) Report on the participation in the alternative placement programs offered by the institution.
(6) Report on the procedures used to inform the public regarding the institution's teacher education program and the manner through which public input is solicited and received.
Annually, the OEQA shall provide feedback to any institution if their annual report indicates that progress is not being made in addressing areas for improvement. Complete copies of the annual reports for public institutions will be distributed to OSRHE and summary data for all institutions will be distributed to constituents based on reporting requirements outlined in 70 O.S., Section 6-186.
The OEQA will produce a report describing the accreditation status of each institution. This report will devote a section to each institution separately and include a summary of CAEP and OEQA review findings. (218:10-7-1).
