Abstract: This paper communicates the methodological contributions and evaluation findings of a syllabus content analysis aimed at strengthening one school of education’s self-study report for first-time CAEP accreditation. In a compressed time frame, the evaluators identified the presence or absence of two CAEP cross-cutting themes, diversity and technology, across 143 syllabi in licensure-granting programs. Inconsistent levels of diversity and technology-as-content were found, and efforts to increase validity and reliability are documented. Recommendations and implications for both evaluation and methodological findings are discussed.
