Teacher Preparation Accreditation

Teacher Preparation Accreditation is a formal process that evaluates and certifies programs that train future teachers. It ensures these programs meet established standards for quality and effectiveness, including curriculum rigor, student teaching experiences, and faculty qualifications. Accreditation provides assurance to employers, policymakers, and the public that teachers are well-prepared to educate students. It also encourages continuous improvement within teacher education programs, ultimately supporting better learning outcomes in classrooms.
