AACTE to Review College Program The term ""accreditation"" means a recognized organization has ap-proved the program of a particular institution and said, in effect, that its program is such that its grad-uates can be expected to be com-petent and are qualified individuals. While state departments of educa-tion usually accredit institutions within their states, there is no national body connected with the Federal Government which ac-credits educational institutions. All accreditating on a national or regional scale is done by vol-untary accrediting associations. This college is accredited in both ways�regionally by the Middle States Association and nationally for teacher education by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. This latter association�the AA-CTE� is engaged in a three-year review of all its member institu-tions. The ""Committee on Ac-creditation"" of the Association has over a period of nearly two years, developed a set of ''Evaluation Schedules"" which contain defi-nite criteria and standards for evaluating teacher education pro-grams. Therefore, the AACTE Standards apply particularly to the professional side of the college program. All the member institutions of the association have been divided (Con't. page 7) Delegates to ESA Elected Representatives from the facul-ty and student body are scheduled to attend the spring conference of the Eastern States Association of Professional Schools for Teach.. ers in March.
