accreditation NCATE authentic learning

  • “The new focus will help close the gap between theory and practice, and assure that teacher education program candidates are able to help diverse students be successful learners,” says NCATE president James G. Cibulka. “In the past, accreditation wrapped clinical experience around coursework. This approach reverses the priority, encouraging institutions to place teacher candidates in year-long training programs and wrap coursework around clinical practice.”
  • “However, regardless of pathway, all candidates should meet the same set of high standards.”

    Note shift in NCATE accreditation to make the authentic or clinical training central; the classroom should supplement the authentic. There is also an emphasis on bringing change or transformation to the world.

shared by Gary Brown on 19 Nov 09 - Cached
  • National and state agencies have renewed accreditation for WSU's College of Education, which earned praise as “a standout institution.” The ratings came after voluntary reviews by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and Washington State’s Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB). Both accreditation teams, which work cooperatively, visited WSU last spring.
  • accredited institutions must: * Carefully assess this knowledge and skill to determine that candidates may graduate. * Have partnerships with schools that enable candidates to develop the skills necessary to help students learn. * Prepare candidates to understand and work with diverse student populations. * Have faculty who model effective teaching practices. * Have the resources, including information technology resources, necessary to prepare candidates to meet new standards.

education accountability

shared by Gary Brown on 29 Jul 10 - Cached
  • Most states are doing little or nothing to hold teacher-education programs accountable for the quality of their graduates, according to a new report that also criticizes colleges for setting low standards for education majors.
  • Colleges, by contrast, are largely not selective enough in accepting students for education programs, lack a rigorous curriculum, and don't give teaching candidates enough classroom training.
  • the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, said that the report was timely and that her association was working to unify its members on the theme of accountability.

    Apparently NCATE is not sufficient according to some.
