Seven
colleges get top marks
for teacher-training programs
Seven
of North Carolina’s 47 teacher education programs received
an exemplary rating and one received a low-performing rating
in the third Performance Report on Teacher Education Programs
for 2000-01 presented by the State Board of Education.
The seven exemplary institutions are Appalachian State
University, Duke University, East Carolina University, Salem
College, University of North Carolina-Greensboro, University
of North Carolina-Pembroke and Western Carolina University.
Shaw University received a low performing designation. See
chart at right.
This report rates teacher education programs according to
compliance with state and national accreditation standards,
the quality of program completers and involvement with and
service to public schools. Institutions receiving 135 points
or greater were identified as Exemplary. Institutions with 95
points or fewer (if all information was reported) or receiving
less than 70 percent in each category of information were
identified as Low Performing.
The report showed that enrollment of undergraduate students
seeking a teaching degree was down slightly from 5,988 to
5,940. At the same time, an increase occurred in the
enrollment of students seeking to meet licensure requirements
but not to receive a degree. Twenty-three percent of full-time
students, in fact, are not seeking a four-year degree from the
teacher education programs, signifying that they are
prospective teachers who may already possess four-year degrees
in other fields.
State Board of Education Chairman Phillip J. Kirk Jr.
challenged higher education institutions to use this report as
a springboard to make needed improvements in their programs.
"Just as our state’s school accountability program has
prompted local school systems to more carefully focus school
improvement efforts, this report card can provide information
to encourage our state’s public and private universities and
colleges to improve their programs," Kirk said.
The State Board of Education has the authority to approve or
close teacher education programs in North Carolina.
