The Department of Education at Methodist University, which is a part of the School of Science and Human Development, hosted the accreditation visit April 2 – April 6, 2011. Prior to the 2011 visit, a third-party call for comments was announced Sept. 16, 2010. The last NCATE accreditation visit was conducted in 2003. “Seeking NCATE approval is voluntary for private institutions in North Carolina, so I commend our Department of Education for working to achieve this important accreditation,” said Delmas Crisp, Ph.D., executive vice president for academic affairs and dean of the University, in an e-mail that was sent to the faculty and staff. “This distinction helps ensure that our graduates are prepared to teach at the highest level anywhere in the United States.” According to Dr. Crisp, the evaluation contains six major standards and 28 sub-standards, and the Visiting Team determined that the Methodist University Education Program satisfactorily meets all of the standards. Three areas within the program were rated as commendable—far exceeding the level required. About NCATE NCATE is the organization responsible for the professional accreditation of teacher education. NCATE-accredited schools must meet rigorous standards set by the profession and members of the public. Teacher candidates must have in-depth knowledge of the subject matter that they plan to teach, as well as the skills necessary to convey the subject matter so that students learn. The institution must carefully assess this knowledge and skill to determine whether or not a candidate may graduate. The
