SACRAMENTO – At its May 13 – 14, 2009 meeting, the Committee on Accreditation (COA) voted initial program approval for the Santa Clara County Office of Education’s (SCCOE) Preliminary Administrative Services credential program. The review panel determined the SCCOE’s program met all standards and preconditions for Preliminary Administrative Services credentials.

The COA also voted to approve the accreditation team’s recommendation for full Accreditation of the Westmont College Multiple and Single Subject programs and Accreditation with Stipulations for California State University, East Bay, Notre Dame de Namur University, San Diego County Office of Education, and Western Governor’s University.

The COA is an appointed body of the Commission on Teacher Credentialing whose members include experts in the fields of teacher preparation. Following site visits which include extensive review of program data and documentation as well as interviews with faculty, program participants and graduates, administrators and public school personnel, a site visit team brings a full report with an accreditation recommendation to the COA for final review and approval. This accreditation process ensures programs are providing complete and effective training for future school personnel that meet the standards adopted by California for the preparation of credential candidates.

As noted above, four of the five programs recently presented to the COA received decisions of “Accreditation with Stipulations”, while one received full “Accreditation.” Those institutions receiving accreditation with stipulations have one year to address the program standards deemed not fully met and report back to the COA.
