How important is the accreditation that The Ohio State University at Newark receives from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)?
By working with the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the National Middle School Association (NMSA), Ohio State Newarkâs School of Teaching and Learning has been able to receive national recognition for having a high-quality education program overall. To achieve this recognition we submit documentation of our program, which goes through a peer-review process. Faculty from around the country (who have been trained by NAEYC, NMSA, and NCATE) review the early and middle childhood licensure programs at other institutions of higher education; only those programs that meet the rigorous standards receive accreditation.
