The Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC), founded in 1997, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving academic degree programs for professional educators, those who will teach and lead in schools, pre-K through grade 12. TEAC’s goal is to support the preparation of competent, caring, and qualified professional educators.
TEAC’s primary work is accrediting undergraduate and graduate professional education programs in order to assure the public about the quality of college and university programs. The education program, not the college, school, department or other administrative unit of the institution, receives TEAC accreditation.
The Education Department has conducted a self-study and submitted its Inquiry Brief to TEAC in order to apply for accreditation with that association. In March, 2009 the CCU Education Department received a site visit by TEAC to review its program. Based on those findings, TEAC has accredited CCU’s Education Licensure program for five years. TEAC and NCATE are the two nationally recognized accreditors for Teacher Education Programs and they have recently agreed to work together in accrediting such programs (TEAC and NCATE Unified Accrediting System).

This accreditation certifies that the forenamed professional education program has provided evidence that the program adheres to TEAC’s quality principles.
