CEA Receives Grant from the TOEFL Grants and Awards Committee

CEA thanks the TOEFL Grants and Awards Committee for granting CEA an award of $14,230 for developing training materials and a reviewer corps to implement CEA’s revised standards and on-line self-study report. The 6-month project will provide funding for CEA to redesign the reviewer workshop, develop new on-line training materials, develop a cadre of trained reviewers who can train others, and conduct a pilot workshop. As a result of the project, CEA will increase its capacity to meet the needs of the ever-increasing numbers of applicants for accreditation and continue to represent good practice.

CEA has received prior grants from the TOEFL Grants and Awards Committee: one to carry out a review of the CEA Standards; another related to reviewer training; and one to create a standards document for international reviews. CEA thanks TOEFL and the Committee for the on-going support of CEA and its activities.

Happy New Year from CEA! Members of the Commission and CEA staff send best wishes for 2011 and thank everyone who has supported CEA over the past 10 years. We specifically thank all members of the Constituent Council, the many volunteer reviewers who play such a critical role in the review process, and of course the commissioners, whose responsibility it is to make final accreditation decisions as well as to govern CEA. Their work includes making policies that will sustain CEA as an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
