TRD-201704267
The State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) adopts the review of Title 19, Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Chapter 228, Requirements for Educator Preparation Programs, pursuant to the Texas Government Code, §2001.039. The SBEC proposed the review of 19 TAC Chapter 228 in the September 1, 2017 issue of the Texas Register (42 TexReg 4481).
Relating to the review of 19 TAC Chapter 228 the SBEC finds that the reasons for the adoption continue to exist and readopts the rules. The SBEC received comments related to the review of Chapter 228. Following is a summary of the public comment received and the corresponding response.
Comment: iteachTEXAS commented that the requirement for educator preparation programs (EPPs) to meet or make progress in meeting criteria set for accreditation and/or quality assurance of online coursework and training was too exclusive. iteachTEXAS offered two suggestions for amending 19 TAC §228.35(a)(6) to address this concern. The first suggestion would allow Texas Education Agency (TEA) staff to determine if an EPP's online coursework and training meets standards. The second suggestion would broaden the criteria for the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC) to include its quality assessment process.
Board Response: The SBEC acknowledges the commenter's concern and suggestions. At its December 8, 2017 meeting, the SBEC is scheduled to consider for discussion amendments to 19 TAC Chapter 228, including a change to §228.35(a)(6)(A) that would broaden the DEAC criteria to include certification, which includes the quality assessment process offered by the DEAC. The SBEC adopts the review of 19 TAC Chapter 228.
This concludes the review of 19 TAC Chapter 228.
