"The unbiased, external nature of the NCATE procedures provides Maryland with high stakes decisionmaking that is objective and separate from state policies. Maryland applauds NCATE for its leadership in performance-based decisionmaking in the accreditation of teacher education institutions. "
Nancy Grasmick, State Superintendent, Maryland

Designing Standards That Work for Professional Development Schools (1998)
 
Designing Standards That Work for Professional Development Schools Professional development schools — institutions created through partnerships among universities, schools and other organizations — are intended to improve teacher preparation, professional development, and to promote inquiry through collaboration of the partnering institutions in the context of a school. This collection of papers commissioned by NCATE’s Professional Development Schools Standards Project includes an up-to-date literature review, an in-depth survey of 28 PDS sites, four case studies that detail what makes a PDS work, the case for standards for PDSs, and implications for assessing PDSs.
