During the on-site review, BOE team members interview selected faculty, administrators, candidates, cooperating teachers, principals, alumni, and other members of the professional community. Key evidence is reviewed and field sites are visited. Team members also observe selected classes that are in session during the visit.

In the conduct of the on-site review, BOE team members use the following template to guide their activities. The selection of interviewees depends, in great part, on who can validate information in the institutional report and annual reports, as well as any claims made in third-party testimony received.

The unit should identify key individuals who they think should be interviewed by the BOE team; the team will identify other individuals and groups to be interviewed. The team chair has the option to modify the template based on the availability of interviewees and the necessity to accommodate a joint State/ NCATE review. Both the institutional representatives and team chair should refer to the template in making arrangements for interviews, class observations, and field-site visits.
