Subject: program review for NCTE
Dear David:
As we discussed by phone, the interim program report
submitted by Arkansas
Tech in February 2004 was not reviewed by NCTE. After we spoke, I
contacted Sandra Gibbs at NCTE to
verify the problem, and she told me that
the interim report was based on the
1992 NCTE standards - and not on the
1997 NCTE standards - and therefore could not be reviewed.
NCATE no longer accepts interim reports, and as of this
semester, will move
to an electronic program review
system. Thus, I think the best remedy for
the above situation would be to ask
you to submit a new English Language
Arts program report in either spring 2005 (due date 2/1/05)
or in fall 2005
at the latest (due date 9/15/05). A
pilot NCTE report form is on our
program standards webpage, but will
soon be transferred to a web-based
reporting format. However, the
information at this link should give you a
sense of what will be expected in
future program reports.
At your upcoming NCATE visit, I'd suggest you have the
6/22/99 NCTE program
report available for the team,
along with this email. This email should
provide verification that your
institution may have received some
misleading information from either
NCATE or NCTE about what was expected in
the interim report, and that your
institution has and is continuing to make
a good-faith effort to meet NCATE's program review requirements.
