Like most regulatory processes, accreditation may lift up those below the norm, but does little to boost those above higher. Indeed, it may have a constraining effect on good programs which might venture too far from the norm. Yarger, in a personal communication, commenting on the data from three surveys states: "... accreditation standards when coupled with state registration standards may, in fact, be the great equalizer that leads to homogeneity in teacher education programs." See Sam J. Yarger and Bruce R. Joyce, "Going Beyond the Data: Reconstructing Teacher Education," Journal of Teacher Education28 (November-December 1977): 21-25.
