Following the on-site visit, the Board of Examiners will prepare a report of the team's findings and identify standards which are met or not met. Since many faculty members outside the College of Education and Technology assist in preparing teachers and other school professionals, their participation in this accreditation process is crucial. Faculty have continued this fall adding information to the institutional report, providing input to strengthen the institutional report, and gathering documentation to support the information presented in the institutional report. We invite comments from educators familiar with our programs. Accreditation assures the public that institutions have met rigorous standards.
Accreditation links national standards for teacher preparation with national standards for students.
Accreditation encourages excellence in curriculum, students, faculty, and resources in college and university units of education. Accreditation includes the institution in the profession's newly emerging quality-assurance system. Accreditation establishes common professional standards for preparation of teachers and other school personnel. Accreditation ensures adequate resources to prepare quality personnel to improve students' learning.
