These standards are used to inform preparation programs, accreditation organizations, and licensing agencies. CEC partners with the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), a national educator preparation program accreditor, to recognize education programs that prepare teachers to work with students with exceptionalities, based on their meeting of standards established by CEC.CEC, as the recognized leader in the development of standards for special educators, has developed initial and advanced standards for the preparation of special education professionals at all levels. CEC has and continues to use a research-based collaborative process that ensures that its standards are current, research-based, and fully address the knowledge and skills special educators must master.&#8221; (Source:\u00a0 Council for Exceptional Children, 2015)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>To see the requirements for ethical and professional practices,
