The Initial Program Approval (IPA) process provides the Committee on Accreditation (COA) and the Board of Institutional Review (BIR) members with evidence that an institution is prepared to meet Commission-adopted program standards.  \nTrained reviewers from the Commission’s BIR will review program documentation submitted by the institution for each proposed program. If reviewers determine that the program submission does not demonstrate alignment to the standards, the submission is returned to the institution with specific feedback from the reviewers regarding the lack of alignment. The submission is holistic and exhibits and elements do not correspond with specific program standards, although the feedback provided by reviewers will be standard-by-standard. When reviewers have completed their review, the institution’s IIA consultant will send the feedback form to the institution. The institution may revise and resubmit the submission for further review. This iterative process continues until all program standards are determined to be aligned.  \nAll elements and exhibits noted below must be included in the IIA Stage IV Program Standards Submission. Please note that Element 8 only applies to Preliminary Multiple and/or Single Subject, Preliminary Education Specialist: Mild to Moderate Support Needs (MMSN), and Preliminary Education Specialist: Extensive Support Needs (ESN) programs. Element 9 only applies to the aforementioned preliminary programs and to Preliminary Administrative Services credential (PASC) programs.  \nIIA Stage IV Program Standards Submission Requirements noted below are applicable to all proposed educator preparation programs and must be included in the IIA Stage IV submission. There are separate instructions for proposed Induction programs, Specialist credential programs, and Education Specialist Added Authorization programs.  \n1. Program Summary  \nThree exhibits are required per program:  \n1.1: The IIA Stage IV Educator Preparation Program Summary provides context for the BIR team. Please use the IIA Stage IV Educator Preparation Program Summary template for completing this exhibit. The IIA Stage IV Program Summary (3-4 pages) provides a brief overview of the program design, coursework and field experience, and assessment of candidates for the proposed program. A clear description will also help reviewers understand the remaining evidence submitted but is not repetitive for exhibits that can stand on their own. It might, however, be important to provide the reviewers with information as to whether activities occur as part of a cohort, can be done out of order, or other pertinent information that provides a clear picture of how the program is designed. The guiding philosophies for the  \nproposed program, or specific mission, must be included to help reviewers better understand the program.  \n1.2: The Program Standard-by-Standard Narrative is designed to provide additional contextual information to the ","cbCaivXAHPHNQh6s","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivXAHPHNQh6s","pdf",342706,"English","# 1.
