Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC) |
The Teacher Education Accreditation Council was founded in 1997 to promote quality teacher training programs in colleges and universities throughout the United States. This is a non-profit organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and by the U.S. Department of Education. TEAC also has membership ties with the Association of Specialized and Professional Accreditation, the American Council on Education, Association of Teacher Educators, and the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification. The central goal of TEAC is to support the field of education by ensuring that teachers are competent, and qualified before going into the trenches of the profession. It oversees teacher training programs for pre-K through grade 12 teachers both in the undergraduate and graduate levels. TEAC oversees the teacher training program within a college only, not the overall college or university sponsoring the program. From small liberal arts colleges, to larger higher education institutions, TEAC is examining and accrediting teacher training programs throughout the country, as well as professional continuing education programs. Currently there are over a dozen teacher training programs in the U.S. accredited by TEAC. |
