| (ii) the EPP shall be eligible for commendations as
described in §229.1(d) of this title for the 2020-2021 academic
year.
(c) Small group exception.
(1) For purposes of accreditation status determination,
the performance of an EPP candidate group, aggregated or disaggregated
by demographic group, shall be measured against performance standards
described in this chapter in any one year in which the number of individuals
in the group exceeds 10. The small group exception does not apply
to compliance with the frequency and duration of field supervisor
observations.
(2) For an EPP candidate group, aggregated or disaggregated
by demographic group, where the group contains 10 or fewer individuals,
the group's performance shall not be counted for purposes of accreditation
status determination for that academic year based on only that year's
group performance.
(3) If the current year's EPP candidate group, aggregated
or disaggregated by demographic group, contained between one and 10
individuals, that group performance shall be combined with the next
most recent prior year's group performance for which there was at
least one individual, and if the two-year cumulated group contains
more than 10 individuals, then the two-year cumulated group performance
must be measured against the standards in the current year.
(4) If the two-year cumulated EPP candidate group,
aggregated or disaggregated by demographic group, contains between
one and 10 individuals, then the two-year cumulated group performance
shall be combined with the next most recent group performance for
which there was at least one individual. The three-year cumulated
group performance must be measured against the standards in the current
year, regardless of how small the cumulated number of group members
may be.
(5) In any reporting year in which the EPP candidate
group, aggregated or disaggregated by demographic group, does not
meet the necessary number of individuals needed to measure against
performance standards for that year, for all indicators, the accreditation
status will continue from the prior year. Any sanction assigned as
a result of an accredited-warned or accredited-probation status in
a prior year will continue if that candidate group has not met performance
standards since being assigned accredited-warned or accredited-probation
status. The SBEC may modify the sanction as the SBEC deems necessary
based on subsequent performance, even though that performance is not
measured against performance standards for a rating.
