Reforming Teaching and Teacher Education
Book Chapter
In 2002, the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) identified six standards for accrediting teacher education programs, which then prompted many programs to restructure and incorporate the new standards (NCATE, 2002). These standards included: candidate knowledge, skills, and dispositions; assessment system and unit evaluation; field experiences and clinical practice; diversity; faculty qualifications, performance, and development; and unit governance and resources.
