- Summary:
-
An overview is presented of four major redesigns that the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) has undergone since it was established in 1952. Growing criticism had advocated radical redesigning of NCATE in the areas of governance, procedures, finance, and the "Standards." Four alternative principles were adopted in the course of NCATE redesigning: (1) unit accreditation replacing individual program accreditation; (2) enhanced articulation between state approval and national accreditation; (3) creation of a Board of Examiners; and (4) revision of the "Standards." One significant change proposed by the redesign was a new system of NCATE governance. The NCATE redesign now endeavors to incorporate the professional, practitioner, legal, and specialty constituents in a fashion of shared governance. The issue of quality in teacher preparation was the central focus in the the redesigning of the NCATE "Standards." The inclusion of quantitative criteria strengthens the NCATE accreditation process and demonstrates responsiveness to demands for quality teacher training. (JD)
