Subject: Goshen College Continuing Accreditation at the Initial Level
During April 8-12, 2000, a joint National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)/Indiana Board of Examiners (BOE) team visited Goshen College. 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 level. A copy of the report was sent to Dr. Anita K. Stalter, Director, Teacher Education. The institution then submitted a rejoinder to NCATE, detailing the university's response to the weaknesses.
During its fall 2000 meeting, the Unit Accreditation Board of NCATE decided to grant continuing accreditation at the initial teacher preparation level. The next NCATE/IPSB visit is scheduled for spring 2005. A copy of the NCATE Accreditation Action Report is enclosed.
Staff Recommendation:
It is the recommendation of the staff for the Board to grant Goshen College continuing accreditation at the initial teacher preparation level. The next on-site visit will take place in spring 2005.
