PORTALES—The College of Education and Technology at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales is scheduled for a spring 2004 continuing accreditation review by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher
Education (NCATE). Federal regulations require that accrediting agencies allow for public comment on the qualifications of institutions under consideration for continuing accreditation.
Both NCATE and ENMU recognize graduates, parents, schools, and community organizations have valuable perspectives on the quality of the programs that prepare teachers and other school personnel. ENMU invites interested parties to submit written testimony on the College of Education and Technology to: Board of Examiners, NCATE, 2010 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20036-1023 or by e-mail to callforcomments@ncate.org.
Comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of professional education programs offered at ENMU, and should specify the respondent's relationship, if any, to the institution (i.e. graduate, present or former faculty member, employer of graduates).
Copies of all correspondence received will be sent to ENMU for comment prior to the review. No anonymous testimony will be considered. Letters of comment should be sent as soon as possible.
