Six months before a BOE on-site visit, institutions need to publish a call for third-party comment on the quality of programs that prepare teachers and other school specialists. Where should such a notice be placed?
The U.S. Department of Education asked accrediting organizations to require accredited institutions to call for comment about program quality as evidence of accountability and outreach to graduates and the general public. The announcement should reach a public audience in what is considered the service area of the institution. Examples of where notices could be placed include daily and weekly newspapers, alumni magazines, and the world wide web site of the institution. A copy of this notice should be sent to NCATE. Please keep a copy available in the exhibit room at the time of the BOE visit.
