Sister Mary Margaret Irene, B.V.M., chairman of the department of education, listed three main rea sons in explaining why Mundelein is seeking NCATE accreditation. 1. ACCREDITATION provides for reciprocity of certification. A teacher graduating from an ac credited institution will be eligible for a teaching certificate in over 20 participating states. 2. IT CONTRIBUTES to con tinuing excellence in teacher edu cation. Accreditation procedures stimulate college self-evaluation and self-improvement. 3. IT ACCORDS prestige to both the college and to its gradu ates. Sister pointed out that this visit is a second step toward accredita tion. A preliminary applicat'on containing evidence of the excel lence of the teaching program of the college has already been ap proved by the Council.
