Subject: Indiana University Southeast - Continuing Accreditation at the Initial and Advanced Levels
During October 2 - 6, 1999, a joint National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)/Indiana Board of Examiners (BOE) team visited Indiana University Southeast. The purpose of this visit was to determine the extent to which the professional education unit continued to meet NCATE/state standards at the initial and advanced levels. A copy of the report was sent to Dr. Steven Gilbert, Dean, Division of Education. In December, 1999, the Institutional Rejoinder was received, detailing the university's response to the weaknesses.
During its spring 2000 meeting, the Unit Accreditation Board of NCATE decided to grant continuing accreditation at the initial and advanced levels. The next NCATE visit is scheduled for fall 2004. A copy of the NCATE Accreditation Action Report is attached.
Staff Recommendation:
It is the recommendation of the staff for the Board to grant Indiana University Southeast continuing accreditation at the initial teacher preparation and advanced levels. The next on-site visit will take place in fall 2004.
