Call for Third Party Comment

The School of Education at Alverno College is scheduled for a spring 2012 accreditation review by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Federal regulations require that accrediting agencies allow for public comment on the qualifications of institutions or programs under consideration for first accreditation or continuing accreditation. 

Both NCATE and Alverno College recognize graduates, parents, schools, and community organizations have valuable perspectives on the quality of the programs that prepare teachers and other school personnel. We invite interested parties to submit written testimony on the Alverno College undergraduate and graduate education programs to:

Comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of professional education programs offered at Alverno College, and should specify the respondent’s relationship, if any, to the institution (i.e., graduate, present or former faculty member, employer of graduates). Copies of all correspondence received will be sent to Alverno College for comment prior to the review. No anonymous testimony will be considered.

Letters of comment should be received no later than March 1, 2012.
