FSU College of EducationRecognized by NCATE

FSU has achieved accreditation by theNational Council for Accreditation ofTeacher Education.

FSU is one of the first institutionsnationally to reach accreditation undernew standards implemented by NCATEthat dramatically change the wayteacher education is evaluated. FSU isone of 36 schools to meet the newperformance-based standards, out of atotal more than 640 institutions thathave either been accredited or areseeking accreditation by NCATE.

FSU, like all higher education institu-tions in Maryland with enrollments ofmore than 2,000 students, was requiredto gain NCATE approval by the state ofMaryland under its Redesign for TeacherEducation. According to Dr. SusanArisman, dean of the FSU College ofEducation, when the new rule wasenacted in the late 1990s, FSU hadalready set its accreditation drive inmotion. A number of Maryland institu-tions have NCATE accreditation but mosthave not yet been evaluated under thesenew guidelines.

As part of the NCATE process, FSU’svarious teacher certification programshad to achieve recognition from 14different professional content associa-tions, such as math, science and healtheducation, including the Association forChildhood Education International, fromwhich Frostburg was one of the first twoinstitutions recognized under ACEI’s newperformance-based standards.

NCATE and the national associationsare putting new emphasis on not onlywhat courses are taught in a teachereducation program, but also on collect-ing the data that proves how well thecontent is learned. In the past decade,

NCATE has moved from an accreditationsystem that focused on curriculum andwhat teacher candidates were offered toa data-driven, performance-based systemdedicated to determining what candi-dates know and are able to do. Theinstitution must provide evidence tothat effect.

“For students, NCATE accreditationincreasestheprestige oftheirdegrees. Graduates can say proudly thatthey graduated from an NCATE institu-tion,” Arisman said.

FSU was last accredited by NCATE inthe 1980s, but when the state ofMaryland chose a different directionregarding standards, the accreditationwas not renewed, Arisman said. “It’s acredit to the quality of the program thatwe made it on the first attempt,”explains Arisman. “It’s a tribute to thefaculty that they remained at such apeak of performance over the years eventhough they didn’t go through thenational [accreditation] process.”

According to Arisman, a number ofschools have expressed interest inlooking at Frostburg’s information asthey go through the NCATE processthemselves.

NCATE-accredited institutions mustmet rigorous standards set by theprofession and members of the public.

Meeting the new NCATE accreditationstandards also helps institutions preparenew teachers for new, more rigorouslicensing standards now found in manystates.

The U.S. Department of Educationrecognizes NCATE as the professionalaccrediting body for schools, departmentsand colleges of education. On-site visits,document review and accreditationdecisions are all carried out by profes-sionals from the education community,including teachers, school specialists andteacher educators, as well as members ofthe public and education policymakers.
