The Warner School has demonstrated its commitment to producing quality educators for the nation’s children by achieving accreditation under the performance-oriented standards of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).

Warner education programs that prepare teachers, counselors, and administrators, as well as music education programs at the Eastman School of Music, were assessed against NCATE standards and earned accreditation. NCATE is the organization responsible for professional accreditation of teacher education and other programs preparing pre-school to grade 12 school personnel.

“We are proud of this achievement and the recognition of our rigorous standards and quality education programs,” says Warner Dean Raffaella Borasi. “We strive to prepare graduates who are of unequaled excellence, and this process has helped us to evaluate and demonstrate that our programs meet the highest standards and prepare practitioners who are the best in their fi elds and can make a difference in the education of children.”

NCATE currently accredits 588 institutions, which produce two-thirds of the nation’s new teacher graduates each year. NCATE-accredited schools must meet rigorous standards set by the profession and members of the public. NCATE also ensures that the institutions have partnerships with preschool to grade 12 schools that enable candidates to develop the skills necessary to help students learn.
