NCATE EXTENDS TEACHER EDUCATION ACCREDITATION

The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) recently notified Grace College that the Teacher Education Department’s accreditation has been extended another full seven-year term. NCATE accreditation is the national standard of excellence for departments of education at U.S. colleges and universities.

The NCATE accreditation team visited Grace last spring to conduct its rigorous examination of the college’s teacher education program. Graduates from NCATE-accredited colleges and universities may transfer their teaching licenses easily among most states.
