Call for Third- Party Testimony

Announcement of Scheduled NCATE Accreditation Visit

Walsh University

November 1-5, 2008

The Division of Education at Walsh University is scheduled for a Fall 2008 accreditation visit by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).  Federal regulations require that accrediting agencies allow for public comment on the qualifications of institutions and programs under consideration for initial accreditation.

Both NCATE and Walsh University recognize that graduates, parents, schools, and community organizations have valuable perspectives on the quality of the programs that prepare teachers and other school personnel. We invite interested parties to submit written testimony on the Walsh University Division of Education to:

            Board of Examiners 
            NCATE 
            2010 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Suite 500 
            Washington, DC 20036-1023 
            or by email to callforcomments@ncate.org

Comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of professional education programs offered at Walsh University and should specify the respondent’s relationship, if any, to the institution (i.e., graduate, present or former faculty member, employer of graduates). Copies of all correspondence received will be sent to Walsh University for comment prior to the review. No anonymous testimony will be considered.

Walsh University is an independent, coeducational Catholic, liberal arts and sciences institution. Founded by the Brothers of Christian Instruction, Walsh University is dedicated to educating its students to become leaders in service to others through a values-based education with an international perspective in the Judeo-Christian tradition.   Walsh University believes in the desirability of a small university that promotes academic excellence, a diverse community and close student-teacher interactions. The University provides its students a higher education that fosters critical thinking, effective communication, spiritual growth, and personal, professional and cultural development. Walsh University encourages individuals to act in accordance with reason guided by the example and teachings of Jesus Christ.  Walsh University Mission Statement
