Fischler School Hosts Board of Examiners of National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
NSU’s Abraham S. Fischler School of Education will host the Board of Examiners of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) for an initial on-site visit from Saturday, Oct. 22 through Wednesday, Oct. 26.
The Board of Examiners is comprised of seven members, each of whom has participated in NCATE’s extensive review training. While on campus, the examiners will participate in dozens of interviews with current students (candidates), graduated students, full-time and part-time faculty, clinical educators, administrators, staff, and P-12 stakeholders. Information from these interviews will be used to confirm the detailed reports and exhibits that have been developed by faculty, administrators, and staff and submitted to NCATE.
At the end of this visit, a preliminary report will be provided, but the final accreditation decision will not be made until the next NCATE Unit Accreditation Board (UAB) meeting in the spring of 2012.
