The Department of Teacher Education at Kansas Wesleyan University is scheduled for a fall 2007 accreditation review by the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) and 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 Kansas Wesleyan University 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 Department of Teacher Education to:

Board of Examiners
NCATE
2010 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Suite 500
Washington, D.C. 20036-1023
or via email at: callforcomments@ncate.org

Comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of professional education programs offered at Kansas Wesleyan University, 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 Kansas Wesleyan University for comment prior to the review. No anonymous testimony will be considered.

Letters of comment should be received by September 1, 2007.
