Accreditation

Overview

Preparing teachers and school leaders to teach and work with all students to meet society's demands for high performance has created new goals and higher standards for educators. Accreditation is one measure of quality assurance.

The United States Secretary of Education officially recognizes the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE.org) as the national professional accrediting agency for schools, colleges, and departments of education that prepare teachers, administrators and other professional personnel.
