NAEYC Recognition as part of NCATE Accreditation:
A Workshop for Faculty Compiling Program Reports
Tuesday, November 17, 2009
8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
This full-day workshop is scheduled as a pre-conference to NAEYC’s 2009 Annual Conference in Washington D.C. The workshop is designed for baccalaureate and graduate early childhood faculty and staff who are engaged in the NAEYC program recognition process, compiling program reports, or are responding to conditions in accreditation reports. Presenters will include faculty from successfully recognized programs, peer reviewers, and senior NAEYC staff.
Participants will:
- Receive a copy of Preparing Early Childhood Teachers: NAEYC’s Standards for Programs
- Discuss ways to use key student assessments, rubrics, and student performance data to improve programs.
- Practice designing assessments that align with the NAEYC standards, see what an effective rubric looks like, and discover how to present persuasive data.
- Engage in hands-on practice with accreditation documents and interactive dialogue with colleagues.
- Meet and talk with accreditation senior staff and faculty from successfully accredited programs.
- Return to your institution with an action plan, resources, other practical tools, and supportive professional relationships.
Note: This session will go into depth, assuming some familiarity with the accreditation standards and process. A short orientation workshop focused on a basic overview of the standards and process steps is available as part of the conference program. This full-day separate-fee workshop is for those who want more depth and advanced support.
This workshop will not address NAEYC Accreditation for center- and school-based programs for young children.
Pre-Registration is required.
- $195 for NAEYC members
- $275 for non-members.
- Fee includes materials, breakfast, lunch, and light refreshments.
