Friday, August 28, the first NCATE Steering Committee of this academic year, 2009-10, was held. Acting Assistant Dean William Agnew reviewed the changes that are taking place in the NCATE process. A power point describing the summer work with transition points was presented. Our team is preparing some proposals to streamline the and improve our teacher education assessment system. Each of the teacher education program committees will need to decide if they want to complete their appropriate professional association’s SPA seeking program approval at the national level. A series of meetings have been scheduled beginning September 18 at 10:30 to assist those committees to develop the SPA. Program committees choosing to not do the SPA or those programs without a SPA process will complete a MoSTEP template. A series of meetings this fall have been established to assist in this process with the first meeting scheduled for September 4 at 9 am in Hill Hall 209.
