Mission Statement
The Coordinating Council for Professionals in Education (CCPE) promotes innovation and excellence in the preparation of education professionals by providing leadership, targeted advice, and information for the units and programs of UW–Madison and its collaborating institutions.
Core Functions
To meet its mission, CCPE works to identify relevant and appropriate topics and issues related to personnel preparation, collect associated information, connect information to campus and School of Education policies and practices, and disseminate information to associated programs and units, campus groups/committees, and policy makers.
Because CCPE is a forum for information exchange and deliberation, CCPE recommends policies (up the system and down to programs and units), advises the Dean, advises other committees regarding professional preparation programs and issues, and assists in determining school-wide responses to system, state, and federal mandates.
