Public Announcement of UNM College of Education’s NCATE Review
The College of Education at the University of New Mexico is scheduled for a Fall 2007 accreditation review by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Federal regulations require that accrediting agencies allow for public comment on the qualifications of institutions or programs under consideration for first accreditation or continuing accreditation.
Both NCATE and University of New Mexico recognize graduates, parents, schools, and community organizations have valuable perspectives on the quality of the programs that prepare teachers and other school personnel. We invite interested parties to submit written testimony on the College of Education to:
Board of Examiners
NCATE
2010 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Suite 500
Washington, DC 20036-1023
Comments may also be sent via e-mail to: callforcomments@ncate.org
Comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of professional education programs offered at University of New Mexico, and should specify the respondent’s relationship, if any, to the institution (i.e., graduate, present or former faculty member, employer of graduates). Copies of all correspondence received will be sent to University of New Mexico for comment prior to the review. No anonymous testimony will be considered.
Letters of comment should be received no later than Friday, Sept. 1, 2007 for institutions with visits in Fall 2007.
