NCATE Board of Examiner's Report Posted

The NCATE Board of Examiner’s final report has been submitted to NCATE and is now posted on our website. The final BOE team report provides rationales for all team decisions regarding standards, statements of strength, and levels of performance in meeting standards. The NCATE Unit Accreditation Board will consider this BOE team report together with the CEHHS Institutional Report and then take final action on accreditation for the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences at their meeting in fall 2008.

Accreditation Announcement

The joint National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education and Tennessee Department of Education Board of Examiners team completed its accreditation visit to the University of Memphis College of Education, Health and Human Sciences April 2, 2008.  In the preliminary report that will be submitted for final action by the NCATE Unit Accreditation Board, the Board of Examiners team found all NCATE standards to be met for all initial and advanced teacher education programs, and all advanced programs for the preparation of other school professionals.  The team cited no areas for improvement in their report, and cited only strengths for each NCATE standard.  The final complete Board of Examiner’s report will be posted on this website within 45-60 days when it is received from NCATE.
