QRTA was among 32 other educator preparation
providers (EPPs) to receive recognition for its leadership and commitment to
improving and strengthening P–12 education.
The coveted
award is reserved for CAEP-accredited EPPs that have met the council’s highest
standards.
Commenting on
the academy’s latest accomplishment, QRTA CEO Osama Obeidat said: “we are
honored to have received the 2022 Frank Murray Leadership Recognition for
Continuous Improvement, which acknowledges our collective efforts that
culminated with receiving international academic accreditation last year for
our Teacher Education Professional Diploma from CAEP.”
“This award not
only proves that our diploma is highly effective in training teachers, but also
celebrates QRTA’s hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment to
excellence,” he added.
CAEP Board Chair
Yuhang Rong explained that “the EPPs that CAEP is recognizing are committed to
continuous improvement and preparing their students to succeed in a diverse
range of classrooms after they graduate.”
“CAEP
accreditation is a sign of commitment to quality through purposeful use of
evidence. The Murray Leadership Recognition recipients should be proud of their
accomplishments,” he said.
Rong also stated
that Frank Murray, the founding president of the Teacher Education
Accreditation Council and award’s namesake, was “passionate about education preparation,
a prominent leader in our profession, and an advocate for evidence to improve
education”.
In December
2021, QRTA became the first educational organization in Jordan to be fully
accredited by CAEP for seven years, the longest accreditation period granted by
the council.
QRTA also became
the third educational organization in the Middle East to acquire CAEP
accreditation, making Jordan the second country in the region to receive
recognition.
Accordingly,
CAEP accreditation positioned QRTA alongside many international institutions
working steadfastly in the field of teacher training.
Established in
2009, and in line with Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah’s vision, QRTA is a
non-profit organization committed to supporting and empowering educators with
the skills needed to nurture and lead future generations.

innovative and evidence-based professional development programs informed by
