PEP manages student teaching placements and ensures that candidates meet outlined expectations for student teaching . PEP oversees the quality assurance system established to collect and monitor assessment data, accreditation and state approval processes, and federal and state reporting for education programs leading to licensure. PEP also manages the Arizona Teachers Academy (ATA), a scholarship that supports recruitment and retention of teachers for Arizona’s public schools.
