Teacher Education FAQs Newsletter ... Accreditation > What is the Difference? State Approval and Accreditation: What is the Difference? We often get calls asking if a school is accredited. While some of EAB approved schools are accredited, the function of the Educational Approval Board (EAB) is to approve schools to operate in Wisconsin, or in the instance of out-of-state schools, approve schools to serve Wisconsin residents. The United States has no federal ministry of education or other centralized authority exercising single national control over postsecondary education institutions. The states assume varying degrees of control over education, but, in general, institutions of higher education are permitted to operate with considerable independence and autonomy. As a consequence, American educational institutions can vary widely in the character and quality of their programs. In Wisconsin, EAB is the agency charged with overseeing and approving all post-secondary institutions serving veterans, for-profit postsecondary schools, out-of-state nonprofit colleges and instate nonprofit training institutions incorporated after January 1, 1992. The impetus for these actions is consumer protection and the assurance that students get quality programs in schools that are held to firm programmatic and operational standards.

Accreditation > Detailed Description Accreditation The United States has no Federal Ministry of Education or other centralized authority exercising single national control over postsecondary educational institutions in this country. The states assume varying degrees of control over education, but, in general, institutions of higher education are permitted to operate with considerable independence and autonomy. As a consequence, American educational institutions can vary widely in the character and quality of their programs. In order to insure a basic level of quality, the practice of accreditation arose in the United States as a means of conducting non-governmental, peer evaluation of educational institutions and programs. Private educational associations of regional or national scope have adopted criteria reflecting the qualities of a sound educational program and have developed procedures for evaluating institutions or programs to determine whether or not they are operating at basic levels of quality. Some Functions of Accreditation Verifying that an institution or program meets established standards

Extractions: NCLB Implementation is Illegal Wisconsin's attorney general has concluded that the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) the so-called "No Child Left Behind" federal education law is being administered unconstitutionally and illegally in Wisconsin. NEA agrees with Lautenschlager that it's likely that the State of Wisconsin and many of its local school districts already are spending more funds than the federal government provides, and that this amount will grow dramatically over the next few years. Wisconsin Education Association Council, an NEA affiliate, reports "This is the first ruling of its kind in the United States," said Stan Johnson, WEAC's president. "We urge school districts or the state to go to court and correct this injustice." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported , "The impact of Lautenschlager's opinion is not likely to be clear soon." According to the Journal Sentinel's report, Lautenschlager "wrote that there were three major areas where federal funds were insufficient to cover costs required by the law: a testing program that includes a requirement to test all third- through eighth-graders each year in reading and math; thea costs of implementing sanctions against school that do not meet the law's requirement that they demonstrate annual progress in raising the performance of weaker students; and the cosdt of sufficient funding to 'permit virtually every student in every school to reach 'proficiency' levels on standardized tests.'"
