WELCOME
The Center for Preparation of Education Professionals was developed to support teacher education and graduate education programs; link field and clinical experiences; and serve the needs of students, graduates, and the professional community.
We are here to serve teachers, school service personnel, and administrators. CPEP is the office to contact for questions related to advising of undergraduate teacher education programs, field and clinical (student teaching) work, and certification. We work with prospective students, current students, graduates, and the professional community. Those seeking initial or subsequent certification or who have questions about certification; endorsements; or other teacher, school service personnel, or administrative matters should contact CPEP. Individuals who have completed education programs at Western and are seeking certification in Illinois or other states should also contact CPEP.
This website was developed to cover all areas involved within our center.
As Director, I encourage you to contact us if you have any questions about areas of teaching, school service personnel, or administration. If we don't have the answer to your question, we will help you find it.
Dr. Rori Carson, Director
