Eaton, Judith S. – Council for Higher Education Accreditation, 2012
Accreditation in the United States is about quality assurance and quality improvement. It is a process to scrutinize higher education institutions and programs.

State oversight for teacher preparation programs mostly ignores the impact of graduates on the K-12 students they teach, and it gives little attention to where graduates teach or how long they…
