To find the newest organization to accredit afterschool programs, we need to research the accreditation dates of each organization listed. This information can usually be found on the official websites of the respective organizations or through a quick search online.
A. National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) - As of my last update, NASPE no longer exists as an independent organization since it merged with the Society of Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE America). Therefore, it is unlikely to be the newest organization to accredit afterschool programs.
B. Council on Accreditation (COA) - COA is a widely recognized accrediting body that provides accreditation for various social service programs, including some afterschool programs. However, to determine if it is the newest organization in this context, we need to check the date of its establishment or when it began accrediting afterschool programs.
C. National Afterschool Association (NAA) - NAA is a national membership organization that advocates for quality afterschool programs. While they do provide resources and support for afterschool programs, they do not offer accreditation services. Therefore, they are not the newest organization to accredit afterschool programs based on the given options.
D. National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) - NCATE, now known as the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), is primarily focused on accrediting educator preparation programs, including those for teachers. While some afterschool programs may involve teacher education elements, NCATE/CAEP does not specifically accredit afterschool programs. Thus, it cannot be the newest organization in this context.
Based on the information available and assuming the options given are all correct, the Council on Accreditation (COA) appears to be the most recent organization to accredit afterschool programs. However, it is advisable to verify this information by checking the official websites or conducting further research to ensure accuracy, as these organizations may have continuous updates or changes in their accreditation services.
