How to Join TEAC

TEAC membership eligibility

To be eligible for TEAC Candidate or Affiliate status for initial and continuing accreditation, a teacher education program must submit a letter from the program unit’s administrator, attesting to the following:

0.1.The program is committed to TEAC’s goal and quality principles

0.2 The program faculty understands that TEAC may disclose the member’s accreditation status

0.3 The program faculty will provide any information that TEAC may require

0.4 The institution giving the program has regional accreditation or its equivalent

0.5 The program’s graduates are eligible for the state’s professional teaching license

Summarizing, once TEAC determines the eligibility requirements have been met, the candidate program will carry out an institutional inquiry and prepare and submit an Inquiry Brief. After a program's Inquiry Brief has been accepted as auditable, an audit is conducted and an Audit Report prepared. At the next scheduled meeting of the Accreditation Panel, an accreditation recommendation is given on the program, based on the Inquiry Brief, Audit Report, and Staff Analysis of the audit. TEAC's Accreditation Committee acts upon the recommendations of the Panel and make the final accreditation decision.

For information on Individual or Organizational Affiliate Membership, please contact Sue Fuhrmann, Vice President for State Relations & Membership, rebecca@teac.org or call 302-831-6072.
