“…[TEAC’s] primary work is to assure the public about the quality of these professional programs. It provides this assurance through a system of accreditation that examines and verifies the evidence institutions of higher education have for their claim that they prepare competent, caring, and qualified educators.” “Brief Overview and Update of the Teacher Education Accreditation Council” 2/23/02
TEAC’s Process Principles • Continuous improvement to advance quality • Inquiry-driven accreditation • Audits to ensure quality • Frugality
TEAC Quality Principles Align with CAEP Standards and Processes
CAEP Standard 1: Candidates demonstrate knowledge, skills, and professional dispositions for effective work in schools. CAEP Standard 2: Data driven decisions about candidates and programs. CAEP Standard 3: Resources and practices support candidate learning.
