4.1. Capacity Components for Program Quality:
CURRICULUM

TEAC’s Quality Principle I sets out the required components of the curriculum (1.1–1.3). In addition, TEAC has three standards for the professional curriculum’s capacity for quality:

4.1.1 Reflects an appropriate number of credits and credit-hour requirements for the components of Quality Principle I. An academic major, or its equivalent, is necessary for subject matter knowledge (1.1) and no less than an academic minor, or its equivalent, is necessary for pedagogical knowledge and teaching skill (1.2 and 1.3).

4.1.2 Meets the state's program or curriculum course requirements for granting a professional license.

4.1.3 Does not deviate from, and has parity with, the institution's overall standards and requirements for granting the academic degree.
