Announcements

The Commission at a Glance page has been updated to provide the number of Commission-approved institutions, preparation programs, accreditation site visits, applications processed, new credentials issued and educator disciplines taken in the 2017-18 fiscal year.

On March 7, 2019 Commission staff hosted a live webinar presentation and question and answer session with University of Southern California Professor John Pascarella, Ph.D. The focus of the webinar was on redesigning teacher preparation programs with an integrative approach, rather than a siloed approach, to the curriculum that addresses the latest Teaching Performance Expectations (TPEs).

The Commission is pleased to announce its intent to fund 33 Local Education Agencies (LEAs) for the Teacher Residency Grants. This funding will support LEAs to develop or expand a teacher residency pathway with an Institution of Higher Education (IHE) that has a Commission-approved teacher preparation program to prepare special education, STEM, and/or bilingual residents. Funding letters will be sent to grant recipients by early March 2019.
