Section 4-2 - Program Approval and Program Reviews

(a) The Professional Teaching Standards Board (PTSB) program approval process aligns with the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) accreditation review process. PTSB will continue to recognize National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) accreditation until such time as the last NCATE unit accreditation has expired.

(b) PTSB has adopted Specialized Professional Association (SPA) standards in all disciplines in which SPAs are available. Disciplines that do not have SPA standards must meet PTSB state standards, which can be found in Section 5 of this chapter. Program reviews submitted in disciplines that meet PTSB state standards shall follow the same process as SPA program reviews. Timelines shall be set by PTSB and the institution of higher education whose program is being submitted for review.

(c) An institution of higher education submitting a program for approval to PTSB shall:

  • (i) submit individual program reviews to the appropriate SPA seeking national recognition. The SPA report is then submitted to PTSB for final program approval;
  • (ii) submit individual program reviews within program clusters to CAEP seeking feedback. PTSB determines the standards used for each cluster in the program reviews. The feedback report is then submitted to PTSB for final program approval; or
  • (iii) submit individual program reviews to PTSB. The institution shall use SPA program standards, when available, in their review process; programs that do not have a SPA will use PTSB state standards. The PTSB Program Review templates, which are available from PTSB upon request, shall be used for all programs submitted directly to PTSB for review and program approval.

(d) The PTSB has final approval of all programs submitted to PTSB including programs submitted to SPAs or CAEP for program reviews.
