PEAB

An approved educator preparation program must establish and maintain a Professional Education Advisory Board (PEAB). The Board participates in and cooperates with the program on decisions related to the development, implementation, and revision of each preparation program – i.e., teacher, administrator, school counselor, and school psychologist.

Reference materials

Process for WEA PEAB appointments

If you are seeking to fill teacher vacancies on any PEAB, please follow the process below for securing appointments from the Washington Education Association (WEA).

The WEA annually appoints a large number of educators to serve on PEABs. Please submit all requests for appointments via WEA’s PEAB survey. In order to facilitate the appointment process, WEA:

  • does take nominations from colleges and universities with recommended appointees
  • will try to find appointees who meet demographics requested by colleges/universities (e.g. specific geographic region, school district, content area or level)
  • will seek to identify appointees who live within a reasonable driving distance from the college / university

If you have any questions on the WEA PEAB appointment process or the survey please contact Adrienne Brand at WEA (abrand@washingtonea.org), copying Janie White (jwhite@washingtonea.org) in the cc field.

Process for WFIS PEAB appointments

If you are seeking to fill private school vacancies on any PEAB, please follow the process below for securing appointments from the Washington Federation of Independent Schools and submit all requests for appointments via the WFIS PEAB Request Form.

To facilitate the appointment process, WFIS:

  • does take nominations from colleges and universities with recommended appointees
  • will try to find appointees who meet demographics requested by colleges/universities (e.g. specific geographic region, school district, content area or level)
  • will seek to identify appointees who live within a reasonable driving distance from the college / university
