National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
NCATE is the largest coalition of education and public organizations in the nation devoted to quality teaching and one of the longest-standing national coalitions of stakeholders in the education community.
NCATE is a coalition of 33 specialty professional associations of teachers, teacher educators, content specialists, local and state policy makers. All are committed to quality teaching, and together, the coalition represents over 3 million individuals.
Currently, 525 institutions are NCATE accredited and another 100 are candidates and precandidates for accreditation. The number of candidates for accreditation has almost tripled in the past five years, due to the growing demand for accountability from states and the public, and the number of accredited institutions has risen steadily.
IWU is an accredited member of NCATE. IWU's faculty and administration regularly hold committee and board memberships at NCATE.
