The University of North Carolina Wilmington is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
The Office of Assessment, Accreditation, and Data Operations (OAADO) works with programs to improve and/or revise their program outcomes, student learning outcomes, and data collection strategies. The OAADO provides support for this process by consulting with programs to improve and/or revise their program outcomes, student learning outcomes, and data collection and analysis strategies; collecting key program assessment data related to graduate and alumni perspectives of their programs, enrollment data, and data that supports CAEP accreditation.

Taskstream is a cloud-based system for managing assessment, accreditation, and e-portfolios.
All University of North Carolina Wilmington academic programs are engaged in an annual assessment cycle that engages faculty in a process of continuous improvement of program and student learning outcomes. This process is documented in UNCW’s Accountability Management System (AMS). The answers to Frequently Asked Questions are available to support faculty work in Taskstream AMS. For Taskstream training, support, or to request a Taskstream AMS account, email Dr. Jaci Webb- Dempsey.
Taskstream allows for secure collection of portfolio artifacts, rubric development, and monitoring and reporting through the Learning Achievement Tools (LAT). The Watson College of Education currently uses the LAT to develop the e-portfolio assessment system for the Program Evidences Folio required for initial teacher preparation programs, for the MSA Portfolio required for the Master of School Administration (MSA) program, and for other faculty-developed course projects and assessments. In the future, UNCW’s implementation of the new state-required assessment of teacher candidates - edTPA – will also be housed in Taskstream.
