A Guide for Panel Members for Pre-service Teacher Education Program Accreditation.
Ontario College of Teachers, Toronto.
This guide discusses preservice program accreditation at the Ontario College of Teachers. The College preservice teacher education accreditation process includes three parts: preparation by the faculty of education of an internal appraisal; collection of documentation to support the Standards of Practice for the Teaching Profession; and an on-site panel visit by the Accreditation Panel. Section 1, "Introduction," introduces the issue. Section 2, "The Accreditation Panel," presents the Panel's roles, responsibilities, and obligations, its composition, confidentiality issues, and disclosure of accreditation results. Section 3, "Panel Training and Pre-visit Meeting," discusses the purpose, Panel training, and the pre-visit meeting. Section 4 describes "The On-site Visit." Section 5 describes "The Post-visit Meeting." Section 6 describes "The Faculty of Education's Rejoinder." Section 7, "The Accreditation Recommendation," discusses language for the accreditation recommendation and the Accreditation Committee's accreditation decision. Section 8, "Timeline," presents important timelines for 1 year. Eight appendixes offer: Standards of Practice for the Teaching Profession; Ethical Standards for the Teaching Profession; exhibits room guidelines; accreditation report outline; programs awarded "Initial Accreditation Granted with Conditions" and "Initial Accreditation Not Granted"; Accreditation Panel's schedule: a sample outline; Panel training skills sheets; and a template for report writing.
