SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

Regulation 43-90 governs the accreditation requirements for public and private educator preparation programs. The proposed amendments to the regulation would modify language within the regulation. Current language in the regulation is specific to an educator preparation accrediting body, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE); however, a new accrediting body, the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) has replaced NCATE. The proposed amendments would eliminate the need for a regulation change any time an accrediting body changes.

Notice of Drafting for the proposed amended regulation was published in the State Register on July 24, 2015.
