The Commission on Teacher Credentialing (Commission) has developed a set of data dashboards to provide graphical displays of information related to Commission-approved institutions.

The term “data dashboard” is defined as a group of interactive data visualizations displayed as tables and figures. The Accreditation Data Dashboard (ADD) can be used by accreditation teams and approved institutions as an additional tool to analyze institution and program information prior to and during accreditation reviews.

Data include each institution’s historical list of approved programs, annual data submitted via the Accreditation Data System (ADS), program completion survey results and Annual Report Card (Title II) for teacher preparation programs.
