Educational developers in universities and colleges design, develop, and deliver courses and programs for professors and teaching assistants (TAs) to support teaching and learning in postsecondary institutions. These courses and programs, however, are often not accredited, so the Educational Developers Caucus (EDC) created a working group to explore the appetite for a Canadian accreditation process, and then design and implement a framework. This article summarizes the working group's outcomes, and reports on an initial evaluation of their impact, arguing for their contribution to enhancing the quality of faculty and TA development courses and programs and, thereby, of teaching and learning.
