Scope of NCATE accreditations
NCATE accredits schools, colleges, and departments of
education (professional education units) in U.S. colleges and
universities as well as non-university entities that prepare
educators.
NCATE Standards
NCATE revises its unit accreditation standards every seven
years to ensure that the standards reflect current research and
state-of-the-art practice in the teaching profession.
The standards measure an institutions effectiveness according to
the professions expectations for high quality teacher preparation.
How the Standards are applied
To seek accreditation, an institution must meet specific preconditions
which must continue to be met to maintain accreditation. Once the
preconditions are met, NCATE schedules an accreditation visit. The
institution then prepares a report describing how it meets each of the
six standards.
Introduction to the NCAT Eunit standards
The six NCATE Unit Standards identify the knowledge, skills, and
professional dispositions expected of educational professionals.
The standards also identify the organizational structures, policies,
and procedures that should be in place to support candidates in
meeting these expectations.
