19 Tex. Admin. Code § 229.1 - General Provisions and Purpose of Accountability System for Educator Preparation Programs
(a) The State Board
for Educator Certification (SBEC) is responsible for establishing standards to
govern the continuing accountability of all educator preparation programs
(EPPs). The rules adopted by the SBEC in this chapter govern the accreditation
of each EPP that prepares individuals for educator certification. No candidate
shall be recommended for any Texas educator certification class or category
except by an EPP that has been approved by the SBEC pursuant to Chapter 228 of
this title (relating to Requirements for Educator Preparation Programs) and is
accredited as required by this chapter.
(b) The purpose of the accountability system
for educator preparation is to assure that each EPP is held accountable for the
readiness for certification of candidates completing the programs.
(c) The relevant criteria, formulas,
calculations, and performance standards relevant to subsection (d) of this
section and §
229.4 of this title (relating to
Determination of Accreditation Status) are prescribed in the Texas
Accountability System for Educator Preparation (ASEP) Manual provided
as a figure in this subsection.
(d) An
accredited EPP that is not under an active SBEC order or otherwise sanctioned
by the SBEC may receive commendations for success as prescribed in the figure
in subsection (c) of this section. Commendations will not be awarded for the
2023-2024 reporting year.
