Institutional Training

« NCATE

Universities and colleges seeking NCATE accreditation for basic elementary teacher education programs are required to submit a program review demonstrating compliance with the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) Standards for Elementary Teacher Preparation. The Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI), which administers the program review process, regularly conducts training to familiarize university and college personnel with ACEI/NCATE's program review process. The training is available in two formats:

(1) A comprehensive training workshop held in conjunction with ACEI's Annual International Conference (the next training session is scheduled for March 2012 in the Washington, D.C., area (more information will be forthcoming);

or

(2) ACEI will send a trained program review specialist to your campus (see On-Site Training).

Training includes hands-on practice demonstrations, presentations, written exercises, and discussion sessions on the following topics:

• Overview of NCATE & National Accreditation
• Brief overview of the NCATE Standards
• The ACEI/NCATE Program Review Process
• Preparing an ACEI/NCATE Program Review linking candidates' performance data to standards for Elementary Education
• Elementary Education Standards
• Online Program Review submission requirements
• Preparation of Rejoinder

Annual International Conference

The fee of $625 includes training materials, plus full Conference registration, additional registrants $575 each.

Campus On-Site Training

ACEI offers comprehensive "in-house" training to all colleges and universities seeking accreditation via NCATE. We have professionally trained personnel who will visit your campus to help interpret the accreditation guidelines for elementary education and give advice on preparing your Program Review.

The training offered is the same excellent training offered by ACEI at our Annual International Conference. By taking advantage of our on-site training, you can save travel costs and time. Furthermore, the training can be conducted at your convenience; therefore, more faculty members can learn how to prepare and submit the Program Review.

Hosting the one day on on-site workshop for faculty members will cost the institution a fee of $1,500 plus the travel expenses (airfare, one night lodging and one day per diem) of the trainer. This fee covers up to 12 participants and includes all materials used during the workshop. A fee of $100 per additional person will be charged for groups larger than 12 participants. ACEI does not limit the number of attendees at an on-site workshop.
