NCATE/AASL training opportunity

AASL/NCATE program review training

New and experienced reviewers are encouraged to attend this session facilitated by Mary Berry, Chair of the NCATE Coordinating Committee, and Elizabeth Vilky, Director of Program Review at NCATE. Participants will learn about the NCATE process, the transition to CAEP, the ALA/AASL Standards for School Librarian Preparation, writing and reviewing reports, and appropriate assessments. Attendees will study a sample program report and participate in a review exercise. While the focus will be on preparing reviewers to write a recognition report, program report writers are welcome to attend as observers.

Reviewers who have not been trained on using the 2010 standards must attend a training in order to participate on a review team.
