(Continued on Page 4) College Administrators Refute NCATE Editorials Editorials in the Chicago Sun- Times and Tribune recently lam basted the National Council for Ac creditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) after the agency denied full approval to the University of Wisconsin's School of Education. NCATE approval entitles gradu ates who complete the teacher edu cation program to reciprocal cer tificates in 27 of the United States. Since Mundelein gained accept ance into NCATE last June, Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., president, Sister Mary Ignatia, B.V.M., aca demic dean, and Sister Mary Mar garet Irene, B.V.M., chairman of the education department, com mented on the editorials. Dean Speaks Out The Sun-Times stated that Dean Stiles (of the University of Wis consin's School of Education) and his faculty rightfully concluded that their (Wisconsin's) theories and practice, which permit a stronger emphasis on the humani ties, were as good as . . . the sec ond-rate teacher college orientation insisted upon by the NEA-spon- sored En-kate. Sister Mary Ig natia refutes, In light of our own experiences at Mundelein, I could never agree with the statement that NCATE insists upon teacher col lege orientation. That NCATE gives approval to humanities-cen tered programs is evidenced in its approval of us. The fact that we require a major in a liberal arts subject and offer a minor in educa tion did not prejudice NCATE against us. Mundelein's education requirements satisfy those of the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago. Sister Mary Ann Ida remarks, That NCATE does not insist upon second-rate teacher college orienta tion is further evidenced by its out standing members including Yale, Harvard, Columbia, University of Chicago, Northwestern, Indiana University, St. Mary's of Notre Dame, Clarke College and the Uni versity of Michigan. President Comments The Tribune quotes Wisconsin's education faculty as saying that It (the faculty) refused to 'alter our structure and weaken our program' to satisfy NCATE's policy of vest ing control over teacher prepara tion in professors of education only. Sister Mary Ann Ida states, In our visitation there was no at tempt by NCATE to alter our pro gram or alter our policy which has since its beginning stressed liberal content in courses for teacher preparation. Many courses required for education are conducted by teachers in other departments. Sister Mary Margaret Irene em phasizes that, NCATE strives to improve the educational system and not to control it as the editorials would lead us to believe. She con tinues, However, the reaction of Wisconsin may be healthful for NCATE as a caution to improve its policies and as a check on its power. Education Chairman Disagrees Like all human institutions, NCATE is susceptible to frailties, Sister adds But the question is not so much NCATE as the false im pressions given by the editorial writers. NCATE's handbook indicates that its policy is not as narrow as the editorials would have it Only as academicians and educationists work together can satisfactory teacher education programs be de veloped. The Council recognizes that the profession of teaching re quires insights and skills that can be achieved in no way other than through vigorous study in the aca demic disciplines and in profes sional education. It strives for a reasonable balance in these two areas. Sister Mary Margaret Irene con cludes that NCATE has made mis takes, but it must be given credit for the good it does. above and enrollment in courses to taling at least 12 credit hours are requirements for citation. Lay students and religious, ex cept members of communities which request anonymity, of all four classes are eligible for recog nition.
