§ 21.045. ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM FOR EDUCATOR PREPARATION

standards to govern the approval and continuing accountability of

disaggregated with respect to sex and ethnicity and that includes:
(1) results of the certification examinations
prescribed under Section 21.048(a); and
(2) performance based on the appraisal system for
beginning teachers adopted by the board.
(b) Each educator preparation program shall submit data
elements as required by the board for an annual performance report
to ensure access and equity. At a minimum, the annual report must
contain the performance data from Subsection (a) and the following
information, disaggregated by sex and ethnicity:
(1) the number of candidates who apply;
(2) the number of candidates admitted;
(3) the number of candidates retained;
(4) the number of candidates completing the program;

profession.
(c) The board shall propose rules establishing performance
standards for the Accountability System for Educator Preparation
for accrediting educator preparation programs. At a minimum,
performance standards must be based on Subsection (a). The board
shall propose rules for the sanction of educator preparation
programs and shall annually review the accreditation status of each
educator preparation program.
(d) The executive director of the board shall appoint an
oversight team of educators to make recommendations and provide
assistance to educator preparation programs that do not meet
accreditation standards. If, after one year, an educator
preparation program has not fulfilled the recommendations of the
oversight team, the executive director shall appoint a person to
administer and manage the operations of the program. If the program
does not improve after two years, the board shall revoke the
approval of the program to prepare educators for state
certification.
