Abstract
Accreditation, the process by which an organization grants approval to an educational institution, is the central issue in several current debates among educators. The major parties in these debates are the various representatives of elementary and secondary school teachers, on the one hand, and the faculty members of schools of education, on the other. State education agencies also play an important part in these debates, but they have not been as much in the forefront as have the other two parties.
