Dr. Cramer welcomed NCATE Steering Committee Members and Guests. She
introduced Dean Yeo who spoke about the 2009 NCATE Review process and
timeline.
Dean Yeo thanked everyone present for agreeing to contribute to the
Institutional Report that will be submitted to NCATE in Fall 2008. He
advised the group that Dr. Ford would assist the Steering Committee
until his contract as Associate Dean expires in Summer 2006. The Associate
Dean appointed Summer of 2006 would then assist the Steering Committee
from Summer 2006 until the process is completed. He also reminded the
group that this NCATE review will be done in conjunction with the review
required by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
Dean Yeo outlined a timelines for producing the 2009 Institutional
Report and a number of issues related to seeking continued accreditation
of COEHS teacher education programs through NCATE:
- Spring 2009, NCATE on-site visit
- Fall 2008, Institutional Report sent to NCATE Board of Examiners
- Of primary, immediate importance needs to be our focus on data collection
and analysis.
- Graduate programs especially need to focus on data collection and
analysis.
- 2006 will be an organizational year with the primary purpose of
identifying and collecting data each year to be used in constructing
the final Institutional Report
- The Institutional Report will be written by the Steering Committee,
not the Associate Dean, with the help of other faculty and staff
- Dean Yeo will request a full-time position to support data acquisition
and management from Provost Lane Earns
- Dean Yeo will also seek a part-time Program Assistant to work directly
with the Steering Committee
