Teacher-Prep Accrediting Groups to Merge

From Education Week
By Stephen Sawchuk

The two national accreditation bodies for teacher education have approved plans to merge into a single organization, in what might mean a more rigorous bar for teacher preparation in the future.

Under the terms of the agreement, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and the much smaller Teacher Education Accreditation Council, both based in Washington, would initially continue to operate their activities separately as they flesh out a new body, incorporated last week, to serve as the sole accreditor for the field.
