@DCNatFan - little late to this thread, but better late than never I always say!

D19 is looking into SecEd and I have been researching the same way…and although the NCATE word is still used on many schools websites and such, as of 2016 the NCATE and TEAC accrediting bodies were disbanded and all rolled into the new accreditation body CAEP. NCATE/TEAC standards are no longer used for accreditation. So you should look for CAEP accreditation where you can.

I’m assuming though, if they are NCATE accredited now and didn’t need to be accredited again until 2018 or later, that should be fine as a good guide…when they are re-certified, they will change it to the CAEP accred.

Since we are looking at SecEd, it’s working a little different for us as D needs both a Math program and an Ed program, but we found these websites helpful as well:

Hope that helps…happy to continue the conversation going if you have more questions…this Ed journey is difficult to navigate but helpful to have other resources.
