CAEP Three-Year Planning Survey for CAEP Members and Leads - Due October 27

The CAEP Three-Year Planning Survey aims to solicit ideas for improvement and feedback from consortium members and leads related to the effectiveness of the 22-25 Three-Year Planning process and preparation for the 25-28 Three-Year Planning process. While the next three-year plan will not be submitted until June 2025, the planning and development of support services start well ahead of that date.

The feedback and recommendations that are gathered from this survey will help guide the CAEP Office as they update and release new guidance and support for the Three-Year Planning process. They will also help identify the technical assistance and professional development that will make this a successful experience. CAEP TAP will work closely with the Chancellor’s Office and California Department of Education, as well as CAEP vendors, to address the feedback and recommendations identified in the survey and to organize additional opportunities for field feedback as we move forward.

Several consortia leads already started this feedback process at the Directors’ Event in mid-September. Many key themes from the listening session are included in the CAEP Three-Year Planning Survey. The leads who participated in the listening session are invited to submit further feedback via this survey. As most consortia members were not in attendance at the Directors’ Event, members are strongly encouraged to submit feedback via the survey.

The CAEP Three-Year Planning Survey will be open from October 5-October 27.
