NCATE Information

The University of Montana-Western's Teacher Education Program (TEP) is nationally accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). "NCATE is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as the accrediting body for colleges and universities that prepares teachers and other professional personnel for work in elementary and secondary schools. Through its voluntary, peer review process, NCATE ensures that accredited institutions produce competent, caring, and qualified teachers and other professional school personnel who can help all students learn." (NCATE Professional Standards for Accreditation of Schools, Colleges, and Departments of Education, 2006 Edition, p. 1)

UMW's TEP received initial NCATE accreditation in spring 1997 and continued accreditation status in fall 2002. The next NCATE on-site accreditation visit is scheduled for fall 2008.
