Site Visits

At the heart of the accreditation process is the on-site visit by the Board of Examiners (BOE) team.  During the on-site visit a team of individuals trained in the NCATE standards and process work to determine the quality of the unit's candidates and graduates, as measured by their ability to help all students learn.  The team will spend a substantial amount of time during the visit examining and assessing the quality of the unit assessment system and the data generated by that system.  The team will also spend time evaluating the unit's field experiences and clinical practices; curriculum and experiences related to diversity; faculty qualifications, performance and development; and unit governance and resources.  While on site, the team will evaluate evidence, conduct individual and group interviews.  The team will communicate its findings through a written report.  This report called the BOE Report, includes a narrative description of the team's findings, areas for improvement cited by the team, and recommendations by the team about whether or not the unit is meeting the six NCATE unit standards.
