Universities drop NCATE accreditation for Iowa teaching programs
Iowa City The four major state universities cut ties with NCATE the national body for teacher education accreditation. NCATE chief Arthur Wise criticized the move calling it costly and prescriptive while university leaders cited excessive paperwork and time demands. They stressed that non accredited graduates can still find jobs and emphasized their own state standards. The action surprised state officials and educators who questioned public discussion on the move. Wise also noted an April meeting with Iowa educators had been planned.
